Christmas season is undoubtedly one of the most stressful times of the year. Feng Shui being a powerful tool in creating a calm and harmonious space, let's look at some basic feng shui tips to help ease your stress and really enjoy this beautiful season!

See if these simple feng shui tips for Christmas season will help minimize stress levels and promote a balanced flow of energy in your home:
  1. If you have several options, consider placing your Christmas tree in either one of these feng shui areas: South, East, Southeast or Center. The placement of Christmas tree in one of these feng shui areas will bring a beneficial balance of the five feng shui elements.

  2. Burning candles or sitting by the fireplace (the real one!) purifies all your energy centers. The closer you are to the fire, the higher the benefits to your personal energy field. Consider creating groupings of colorful candles and using them in the evening. Avoid burning many candles in the East feng shui area which is connected to your health and well-being.

  3. Be mindful about balancing the strong feng shui Fire element of the Christmas season with a cooler color scheme, such as soothing light blue (feng shui water element color), cool silver or gray and calm white (feng shui metal element colors). The green of the Christmas tree, even though is visually balancing, actually feeds the Fire/makes the feng shui Fire element stronger.

  4. Use essential oils in a candle diffuser (compare prices) or an electric one (compare prices) to keep the air fresh and the energy levels balanced. Choose pine, eucalyptus, ylang-ylang, neroli, or other essential oils of your choice to introduce the feng shui energy of warmth, purification and nourishment into your environment.

Most of all, go with your gut feeling and create a home for Christmas that will truly make you feel happy. Do not repeat the same designs year after year. Be creative and open to change - it's good feng shui!

I wish you and your loved ones a beautiful and truly joyful Christmas season.
