Your Weekend Feng Shui Guide
Living room edition! 🎀
I looove the weekends! Although Saturday is busy in our house, Sunday’s are for rest and energy tweaking ✨️
This weekend i am going to do a living room refresh, so I thought i would share what I am going to do and update my Feng Shui living room tips from a previous blog post.
In my house, my living room happens to be my wealth and prosperity area so I refresh it regularly. I always make sure I set the intention of abundance flowing into my home before I do.
Why intention setting is important
Without setting clear, strong intentions, Feng Shui simply won’t work. If we rearrange our home but we are not clear about why we are doing it, we can sometimes block ourselves of that energy.
Before you decide to do any type of Feng Shui, grab your journal or notes app and write down 3 intentions for each of the Bagua map areas.
For example: In your love and relationships Gua your intention could be to find your soulmate. Get very descriptive about what they are like and how they make you feel.
✨️ Tip: If you are having trouble feeling the feelings of your intentions, look on pinterest to find images to support them. Sometimes visually seeing your intentions can help.
Feng Shui living room tips
1. Check your furniture layout
Take a step back and look at the way your furniture is placed. Is there anyway that you can improve the flow?
Ideally, the main seating, usually a couch, should be placed in the command position. This is when the back is placed against a solid, supportive wall and you can see the door easily when you are sitting down.
Maybe you could play around with how furniture is placed to give your living room a little reset and shake up the energy.
2. Enhance the coffee table
You should have a coffee table. Coffee tables are usually the center of the living room. They help Chi to flow steadily around the room. A living room with no coffee table can feel chaotic because Chi is flowing to fast through the space.
If you have a coffee table, does it usually collect clutter? This could indicate that somewhere in your life you are available for people to pile their problems onto you.
Take everything off this weekend, wipe it down, and only put back what you love and want to display.
3. Balance the seating
Your living room furniture should be balanced. For example: If you have your main couch and then accent chairs, make sure you habe two or 4. Balance in the place you rest is important for balance in every area of your life. If you have broken chairs or furniture, replace them.
The living room is a gathering space. If you have uneven seating or not enough, you may find you have not enough in some areas of life. It could even make one member of the family feel left out.
Everything is energy ✨️
4. Check the corners
The corners of any room are important. They often are forgotten about as they are behind furniture or hard to reach. They also collect the most dust and dirt and that could be what is causing your life to feel stuck.
Clean the corners of your living room. Amplify the energy by place lamps, plants, or even pieces of quartz crsytals. This will help to elevate the Chi. This is great to do if you are going through a stagnant period in your life and you want to get things moving again.
5. Wash away negative Chi
We may not know it but the cushions on our furniture absorb the energy of everyone that has been sitting on it.
If you are in bad mood or feeling down, and lay on your couch, the energy of that bad mood is absorbed.
Take off all of the cushions and wash them if you can. If you can’t take them off, you can vacuum them and then spray a furniture refresh mist in a scent you love.
The one I use is lemon scented and it uplifts the energy immediately!
You can also wash any blankets or throw pillows cushions you have.
6. Check your Art
What we hang on our walls affects are subconscious more than we think. Even if we are not physically staring at the art, we know it is there and it is sending our minds messages.
What is hanging in your living room? Do you like it or was it a picture your old self chose?
If it is just art you hung up to fill the wall, remove it as a blank wall will always be better. You can also just replace it with a mirror, just because mindful of what that mirror is reflecting.
