Exercise and a healthy diet contribute largely to our physical and mental well-being. Along with these, however, our surroundings also make a great impact on our well-being. FengShui, which is an ancient Chinese practice, links our physical environment to all parts of our lives. It helps us create an environment around ourselves that will dispel negative energy from our surroundings and spread positive energy or Chi in our home and work space.
Impact of Chi
Having a positive environment affects our relationships, career, prosperity and health. you can do several things to ensure smooth flow of Chi by focusing the energies on areas of the house that affect our health, which according to FengShui are located in the middle or far left area of the house, while you are standing in front of the building. This in turn will influence the overall health and wellbeing.
Things to do for Chi
The first step to attract Chi is to remove all broken objects from the house, especially from the health area. Things such as stopped clocks, broken chairs and equipment must be discarded as they can create health problems. FengShui associates broken chairs with back problems, especially if the chair is located in the home’s health area. Wood is an element closely associated with health and the colors blue and green create harmony. Incorporating these materials and hues in the health area of the house can be very beneficial.
Objects for a Positive Vibe
Placing healthy, live plants on wooden stands will also bring harmony to the house. Decorate the health area with pictures or objects that represent good health. These articles vary from person to person; however, you cannot expect these articles to make a difference to your weight problems. Therefore, if you place exercise equipment in the Chi area, you have to use it to make any real difference. In fact, putting a treadmill in the health area and not using it will do more harm than good. So, unless you plan to use the exercise equipment regularly, get rid of them. Any unused items in the health area will drain energy of that portion of the house.
House and Health
The house layout itself has a great impact on our health. For instance high ceilings, rear entrance, bathroom or stairway located at the house center or even stairs directly opposite the front door all create energy drains. This results in fatigue amongst the occupants. Hanging a crystal can help counter the problem.
Summary:
There are many ways to counter health problems with FengShui. When speaking with an expert, you can ask for specific remedies for problems to ensure flow of positive energy.
