Feng Shui

This brick walkway leads to the front entrance of my home. Jacque and I have been taking a Feng Shui class. This class teaches that our external environment in our home is a direct correlation of what is going on subconsciously. According to the Feng Shui philosophy, each space in the house represents different areas of our life. For instance, the front entrance of your home represents career and finance section. It should be neat and orderly. Objects that represent luck and prosperity would work well in this section. Water features such as an aquarium, fountains, or the color blue all attract the energy of being in the flow.

I have learned how important it is to clear space in Feng Shui. "Energetically, everything that ever happens in a building goes out in ripples, like the effect of a stone thrown into a pond. This energy is recorded in the walls, floor, ceilings, furniture, objects, plants, animals, and people in that space. Repetitive patterns are deeply imprinted. Any events accompanied by strong emotions or trauma are recorded more intensely." (As quoted in my manual). In Feng Shui, there are two parts of space clearing- First, is physical. The physical clearing involves washing windows, removing stains, scrubbing walls, dusting, removing clutter from under the bed, etc. This would be like "deep cleaning". Second, an energetic clearing takes place. Ways to energetically clear space are mentioned here.
