Christmas season is undoubtedly one of the most stressful times of the year. Feng Shui being one of the most powerful tools in creating a calm space, use basic feng shui tips to ease the stress and really enjoy the busy season!

To minimize the stress levels and keep a balanced flow in your home to support you and your loved ones, here are just a few simple feng shui guidelines:

• If you have several options, consider placing your Christmas tree either in the South area of your space or in the Center, which in feng shui is considered to be the Heart of the Home. The placement of Christmas tree in either one of these feng shui areas will bring a beneficial balance of the five feng shui elements.



• 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 for your energy field. Consider creating groupings of candles and using them in the evening. Avoid burning candles in the East (feng shui area connected to your Health).



• 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 / gray and calm white (feng shui metal element colors). The green of the Chritsmas tree, even though is visually balancing, actually feeds the Fire/makes the feng shui Fire element stronger.



• Use essential oils in a candle diffuser or an electric one 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 space that will truly make you feel happy. Do not repeat year after year the exact same designs. Be creative and open to change - it’s good feng shui!
