Happy New Year with Feng Shui! Are you ready for a new year full of fresh, new energy?

New Year is one of my favorite holidays. It feels quite magical to start a whole new year and plant the seeds for all we want to see happening in the near future.

We know that everything is energy, this is what feng shui is all about, isn't it? So, if everything is energy, that means your home is composed of endless energy fields. This adds a sense of empowerment and excitement to the process of welcoming a new year with feng shui, don't you think?

Ideally, you want your home to undergo a thorough cleaning and letting go process (clutter clearing), followed by purifying on a deeper energy level often called space clearing.

The easiest way to space clear a home is by smudging, burning incense or diffusing essential oils into the air.

For more information on space clearing read the book review: "Sacred Space" by Denise Linn

Space clearing with feng shui helps let go of any low and negative energy residues and brightens your home for better things to come.

Feng Shui is all about energy - its flow (or the lack of it) and its reflection in the quality of your life.

Do you know how to check the flow of Chi, or energy?

Is your space ready to help you attract experiences/people/things you want the most?

The best feng shui tip for a New Year is to have your home reflect your dreams and wishes, to have your home be ready to receive all you want in the new year.

In practical terms, good feng shui for the new year means a clean home, a clutter-free home (including clutter-free closets!).

Good feng shui for the new year means a home with a sense of beauty to it. In other words, a home that truly feels like home and is ready to celebrate all the good things to come.

Be mindful of the quality of energy your home represents. If you are not happy with what you see happening in your life, start by creating, or bringing the desired energy into your home.

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!
