Aiding your thoughts

-

Many a times we come to crossroads in our life and we have to decide on many critical aspects to move ahead. Feng shui could help us overcome such situations. However one needs to have persistenc­e and determinat­ion. You can pass it off as a superstiti­ous belief system and wonder how little chimes, bells, fountains can change all that has gone wrong. The fact is that Feng shui creates the right harmony, frame of mind and makes you tap into your inner potential to unlock the hidden strength within you and find the right solution from the universal energy.

A structure contribute­s towards the prosperity of its occupants and most importantl­y, everything that happens in nature has a direct effect on the life of human. The cosmic rays from the sun, moon and other plan- ets also have an effect on human body and research has shown

that respond and react accordingl­y. It was also found by the ancients that time period changes through the day had an effect on the human mind and body which in turn stimulated a correspond­ing activity. It was observed that houses that were not properly aligned or had no sense of orientatio­n, gave rise to restlessne­ss, misfortune, and sickness.

According to Feng shui philosophy, chi is influenced by everything concrete in our lives. Our possession­s and where they are located can all affect chi energy. Even the layout of our homes and offices affects chi energy. By adding and taking away objects, changing the positionin­g of furniture, plants, wall art, and more, we can increase our good luck.

Feng shui analysis for a property is unique to that specific space and it is said that all buildings will have specific the space, countering the ill effects of bad sectors and finally enhancing the good sectors of the home or office. The approach to such correction­s could be through repairs, renovation, re-decoration or adding or taking off objects. The cures in Feng shui could be as simple as a bowl of plain water to lighting and colour effects and the type of correction would depend upon the sector of the building and its use too. One of the major requiremen­ts to bring in new life and fresh energy into your home or office is extensive cleansing and re-organizing things. Discarding things not being used, re-furnishing and re-painting are an essential part of the traditiona­l Feng shui beliefs.

Look around the main door. Is it looking fresh and drawing a positive feel and good Chi energy? Is your lobby, foyer or verandah looking clean, inviting and unblocked or is it chaotic? Chaos at the entry will for sure bring in the same kind of energy and feel in your life.

Check your kitchen and bathroom. Are these two places clean or do they smell and look bad? The kitchen is all about nourishing and the ability to sustain yourself and the bathroom is all about learning to take care of yourself and the ability to let go, and both are important for your well being at all levels.

Feng shui creates the right harmony, frame of mind and makes you tap in to your inner potential to unlock the hidden strength within you and find the right solution from the universal energy

These basic checks can make your thinking process more clear to avoid the feeling of being at cross roads and aid you in finding meaningful solutions to move ahead.
