spring cleaning with feng shui

By Rodika Tchi, About.com

Spring is the season of renewal, manifestation, celebration and falling in love. Now is the time to take those bold steps and go full-force into action to make your New Year's resolutions happen. If you still feel sluggish and low-energy after a long and maybe challenging winter, here are some proven-and-true steps to lift your energy up. Spring Cleaning is the word and the goal is get rid of everything that does not serve you anymore and make space for new, fresh energy to come into your life.

  • If you are striving to improve your health, do get rid of all the items that are cluttering and blocking the energy flow in your kitchen (especially your cupboards and the freezer) The state of your kitchen is the state of your health, so do yourself a favor and thoroughly clean that kitchen! De-clutter the refrigerator; clean the stove and all the pots and pans. Let go of all harsh chemical cleaners from the kitchen and go for natural ones. Clean out all the drawers, surfaces, light fixtures, etc - create a fresh pathway for strong vibrant Chi to flow and nourish your energy!
  • Bring three new pots with vibrant green plants to refresh the energy of your space and symbolize, as well as ground, new beginnings. If you plan to place them in the kitchen, go for lush and aromatic rosemary or mint. Focus on your main entrance, as well as your kitchen, as both are strongly connected to your health.
  • If you would like to welcome a new relationship into your life, make space, and I mean actual, physical space, for this new person to be in your home. You literally have to create an open, free flow of energy in your physical space so that your life can attract and manifest more of what you are looking for. This applies to all aspects of your Life: your Relationships, your Career; your Health.
Clarify, Purify and Let Go. Re-new your Space and your Body and step into a new way of being, fill it with the happy and healthy energy of excitement and creativity. Happy New Beginnings, Celebrations and Fun Memories to Behold.
