Fengshui 101 : 1

It's the time of year where you can see many doing their spring cleaning. In the realm of fengshui, spring cleaning is recommended. The energy, or qi, of the home should never be allowed to stagnate. Yang energy, qi is constantly moving while yin qi is always still. Hence, for good abundance of fortune, there must be lots of yang qi. So how do we create this yang qi without spending too much money?

The first thing to note is to remove the dirt accumulated beneath cupboards, carpets, beds, wherever you can think of. Dirt, dust, corpses of insects spiders,etc creates very lethargic qi which makes the home "dead".

Another thing to do is to shift your furniture. Make your interior decor look different. This will give a revitalizing and refreshing feel, hence creating vibrant and lively qi.

The slightly more expensive thing to do is to give a new fresh paint to the walls of your house. Colours can easily make your home look different. Of course, you should choose colours that make you happy and refreshing. You can also choose the auspicious colour that best suits your gua number for that year.
With this, hope you have an enjoyable spring cleaning and a Happy Chinese New Year.
