Feng Shui tips for your home
De-clutter
Remove all clutter inside and outside of the house. This includes piles of unorganised paper, rubbish and refuse. You will be guaranteed to feel refreshed and clearer in your mind.
Fresh air
Keep a constant flow of fresh air throughout your home. Open doors and windows when you can. This will enliven your living space and assist with a general sense of wellbeing.
Spring clean
Throw out or give away unwanted goods, including clothes, shoes and various household items that are no longer to your liking. They may be others who may need these things more than you. This will also allow you to ‘let go’ of the past.
Clearing out
Clean out your pantry and kitchen cupboards. Throw out any expired food, broken crockery and anything else you no longer require.
Repairs
Repair any broken items of furniture, including any damage to the structural details of the house. This may include cracked roof tiles, broken or chipped windows, even flaking paint. Our house is a representation of us, and a house gradually becoming rundown represents a gradual decline in health.
Sleep well
Avoid sleeping with your head within 1 metre of electrical equipment including clock radios, TVs, computers, electric blankets and mobile phones. This includes having the metre box on the other side of your bedhead wall. Electromagnetic fields, although not seen by us, can have tremendous effects on our bodies and our sleeping patterns.
Plant life
Ensure all plants and flowers are kept fresh and alive. Always remove dead or sick plants from a home. Fresh and abundant plant life will bring in good energy as well as lifting your spirits.
Sounds & smells
Playing beautiful music and having beautiful smells [aromatherapy] in your home are also a great way to attract good energy. Your home will not only ‘sound’ and ‘smell’ amazing, you will love being there!
Garden
Keeping your front garden beautiful and tidy will entice opportunities to come to you. Ensure it is clutter free and all the plants are alive and healthy.
Leakage
Always repair leaking taps. Symbolically, this may suggest a gradual loss of income, ‘money is going down the drain’.
Maintenance
Regularly clean floor surfaces, keep cobwebs at bay in the corners of the wall and clean curtains, rugs and carpets often. This will allow fresh energy to enter and well in your home regularly.

Feng Shui tips for your business
De-clutter
Remove all clutter within the office. This includes piles of unorganised documents and rubbish. You will be guaranteed to feel refreshed in order to approach your work with a clear mind.
Get organised
Put a filing system in place. Know where all your documents are, both hard and soft copies. Being organised reflects well on your business as well as saves you precious time.
Fresh air
To keep yourself alert and feeling 100%, keep a constant flow of fresh air throughout your office. Open doors and windows when you can. This will enliven your mind and assist with a general sense of wellbeing.
Plant life
Ensure all plants and flowers are kept fresh and alive. Always remove dead or sick plants from an office. Fresh and abundant plant life will bring in good energy as well as providing lots of oxygen.
Lighting
Ensure that your office is well lit, with as much natural light as possible. Opt for focus lighting on your desk like a lamp, to reduce eye strain.
Facing direction
Place your desk chair in a ‘Power Position’. This entails having a solid wall [or bookshelf] behind you, with your desk between you and the door. This allows you to see all who enter and leave. It will allow the flow of energy to move directly to you and your desk.
Website
Ensure your website is up-to-date, concise and attractive. Avoid clutter and too much jargon on each of the pages, especially the Home Page. A good website augurs for good energy to come to your business and has the largest potential for bringing in opportunities. It is the ‘front garden’ of your business.
Advertising material
Can people find you? Do they know what you do? Is your advertising material well laid out and a representation of your professionalism? Attracting good energy and prosperity to your business is relatively simple through well laid out and well written advertising material.
Repair
Repair any damaged or broken furniture and electrical items in your office. Ensure everything is in good working order as this represents your ability to work effectively also.
