Ah! The holidays are rapidly approaching. It’s an exciting time of year where we gather together with loved ones, exchange presents, partake in decorating our home and Christmas tree, eat lots of good food, and yes, gain a few pounds. This time of year is fun, right? Okay, so making holiday preparations can be overwhelming. Many of us are dashing around trying to find the perfect gifts for family and friends, stressing over the invitation list, the table setting and centerpiece and deciding what to serve your guests.

Consider some of these Feng Shui tips to relieve stress and help us to embrace the holidays. Tip 1: Clearing Clutter
In feng shui this is a very important step to take prior to any decorating.

Want to reduce your holiday stress … then Ho… Ho… Hold the Clutter!
If the countdown to Christmas turns you into a ticking stress bomb… it is time for you to reevaluate your holiday plan. This year, put stress reduction at the top of your list by incorporating some of the basic principles of feng shui into your festive planning.
I love getting out my holiday decorations. But, before I start unpacking things, I pack away some of my everyday ornaments to ensure that my home does not looked as stuffed as a Christmas turkey. Not only is my home clutter-free; it allows me to display these special items with the reverence and pride they deserve to celebrate the real reason for the season. Christmas, we all need to remind ourselves is not just about presents and Santa!
As you unpack your Christmas decorations, look at each one and determine if it is something that you love or that holds special meaning for you. If not, consider donating it to charity or pass it on to someone setting up his or her first home. Giving during the holiday season is also a great way to foster positive personal energy. . . . → Read More: Feng Shui for the Festive Season

Feng Shui Office
Clear the clutter in your office! When you clear clutter, you create new space for new opportunities and your energy and creativity will increase as well. This includes your computer’s inbox.
Make sure everything at your desk allows you to be comfortable. A comfortable chair set at the right height, a mouse that fits your hand, prevent eyestrain & headaches with a glare screen on your monitor, etc.
Create a pleasant view. Make sure what you see uplifts your thoughts and nourishes your creativity.
If possible, position your desk. Sit with a solid wall behind your back to ensure that you have support in your business. Don’t face away from the door if you run a business from your home.
Treat the files in your office with respect. They represent your past, present and future business.
Use INTENTION to manifest success and good fortune. The power of positive thought supersedes negative social, financial and political environments. You cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought into your business.

“Using essential oils on your body (Chakras) and throughout your home (Feng Shui) has many deliciously fragrant applications and life-enhancing benefits. Essential oils are received by the pituitary gland which governs growth and cell generation. True essentials, unlike synthetics when sprayed or diffused will minimize EMF (electro-magnetic frequency) toxicities. They are anti-bacterial and anti-microbial. Additionally, their individual medicinal properties aid in healing and good health which positively alter mind-body-spiritual energies. Best yet…they smell good!
Thus, aromatherapy is perfect adjunct to Feng Shui, adding to my quips, ‘if it catches your eye it alters Chi, and if it catches your ear it alters Chi,’ it is quite logical that ‘if it catches your nose, it also alters Chi through its powerful aspect of thought association.’”

So at the very least avoid sleeping with your feet pointing out of the entry door and/or your head under a window…”

“Cats, dogs, hamsters, fish; animals not only are our best friends, they’re excellent sources of Yang energy. They help by keeping energy moving regularly in your home, therefore keeping it from being too stagnant. Just make sure these non-human companions are clean, well-kept, and healthy. Dog runs and cat litter boxes can be a source of negative energy if you don’t keep them up. Please keep the litter box in the garage or bathroom. A goldfish bowl with will not bring good chi if the water is green and dirty. Even in multiples of 9.”

“Labyrinthine paths and the principles of feng shui, the art of positioning objects in a spiritually satisfying manner, intersect neatly on this philosophical point. Feng shui is subtle and can be hard to spot amid the lush plantings, but you can assuredly feel it.
Walks and paths impart movement to gardens. Chi flows smoothly along them, but they also direct your feet, your eyes and your thoughts, just as the paths in a labyrinth carry you along. Whether it is on a garden path or on a walking trail in a park, your feet are guided, like they’re in a groove, and you can give your attention to your surroundings and your thoughts.”

The essence of Feng Shui embraces balance and harmony, a connection and alignment with the earth and nature around us. Gardens provide us with the opportunity to connect to the natural world around us and be one with nature. Incorporating Feng Shui into your garden will create a sense of balance, welcome and embrace.
“More than anything else, a garden is a portal, a passage into another world, one of your own thoughts and your own making; it is whatever you want it to be and you are what you want to be.” – William Longgood
Gardens are truly magical places. They can soothe and calm you and they can delight your senses with color, shape, textures and scent.
