Feng shui is the power of nature and the energy of universe.It uses the laws of both Heaven(astronomy)and Earth (geography) to help people improve life by receiving positive Chi(energy)

People use Feng Shui to determine locations, design buildings, organize spaces, or get the best timing for certain important things in life, for example, get married, make a move, be buried. . .

Feng Shui is a truly complex system, but you can easily take it as it’s about space and airflow. It is for making our surrounding environment harmonized and balanced.

Here are 6 easy Feng Shui tips to make your life better 

1 Open your window more 

Fresh air is the basic element for human survival. When you open the window, you can get the smell of trees, flowers, even the deep earthy smell from the soil to make your day fresh and cheerful. By Feng Shui’s side, fresh air brings movement into your home, it makes Chi flow better. Especially after all-night sleep with the window closed, you want to get some fresh air in the morning. You should open the window after sunrise, according to the theory of Yin Yang, in the morning before sunrise is the Yin period, if you open the windows by that time, there is negative messy or evil energy that may get in.

2 Get plants 

Plants are living and spiritual things, they make great natural air purifiers and provide positive Chi into the room. For making the environment harmonized and balanced, you shouldn’t miss these positive vibes. Be aware not any plants release oxygen during the night, if you are not sure about your plants, put them away from your bedroom is security. If you want to put plants with sharp points indoor, put them on your desk is a better idea, because they do take care of the computer radiation for sure, but Feng Shui also believes that those spiked plants carry and attract the devil spirit.

3  Put electronics away from the bedroom 

Electronics have seemed to penetrate every aspect of our life. Feng Shui is an ancient traditional practice of using natural elements to get better positive Chi, it has no interest in such modern technology. The “addiction” to electronics makes you lose time of sleep and less time communicate with your family. The long-term radiation can be harmful to your health. The bedroom should be a fully harmonious and balanced place to relax and rest. Quality sleep at the night time can help protect our mental and physical health, its the main way to recharge our energy. Try to make an electronics-free bedroom.

4. Clean your clutter

There is a lot of stuff that you don’t like or stop using are creating blocks of negative energy(nothing like being rejected). When you often getting exhausted or feeling down without logical reasons, try to clean the clutters. It is not just cleaning up and reorganizing your space, it also can be a healing process for both your physical and mental. letting clutters go, in a way it means to give them the chance to be acceptable or valuable somewhere else, so it is not bad at all. Especially you get more space for positive Chi to flow. Of course, you also may fill some stuff that you need and like more to get you more enjoyable. So clean clutters is a win-win thing.

5 Upgrade your social circle

We all experienced “energy vampires” in our life. They are dramatic and negative, they are nitpickers and complainers. They suck all the positive energy from us and leaving us drained exhausted and unhappy. But we also have people who are grateful, humble, kind, and optimistic too, they always find the bright spots in life, their beautiful humanity is the best thing for creating and attracting positive Chi. When you keep company with them, you are already being one of the positive synergy and ready to bring positive Chi to others.

6 Do meditation

The things we have been through in life are not always pleasant, we are unconsciously holding negative thoughts and emotions,and they are the negative energy(negative Chi). Our body is a material container when it filled more by A, then it leaves less for B. Meditation is a easy way to clean the negative for our body and mind. It is free and it doesn’t require a special space. Do it daily or only when you feel you need will all work. Give yourself those moments cut off any kind of issues in this material life, there is only you and the universe between inhale and exhale, it is a fun and touching spiritual trip to discover how precious you truly are, and you will love yourself more and more. . .

The Wisdom Of Silence

A nomad walked into the temple, he saw Bodhisattva was sitting on the lotus platform for worship, he was very envious.

He asked: “Can I change to your position”?

Bodhisattva answered: “Only if you can keep silent, no matter what you see or hear”.

Then the nomad sat on the lotus platform. Things were not as lovely as he thought. There were messy and noisy all day long, so many prayers and wishes. He struggled to keep the promise to Bodhisattva.

One day, a rich man came in, he said: “Bodhisattva,please give me virtue”.He knelt and got up, his wallet dropped on the floor, but he didn’t know. The nomad who was being “Bodhisattva” just wanted to tell the rich man about that, then he reminded himself of real Bodhisattva’s words. So he kept his mouth shut.

Then, a poor man came in. He said: “Bodhisattva, please let me get some money, my family is dying, We need some cash to see a doctor”.He knelt and got up, he suddenly found the wallet on the floor, he was so happy, he thought it was the manifestation from Bodhisattva. He took the wallet and walked away.

The nomad wanted to tell the poor man it is nothing about Bodhisattva’s manifestation, it is just because a rich man dropped by accident.

In the meantime, a fisherman came in. He asked Bodhisattva to give pleasant weather to keep him safe during fishing. Still, the same as others,knelt and got up. When he was just about to leave, the rich man came back in a hurry and stopped him, the rich man thought the fisherman must be the one who picked up his wallet. Of course, the fisherman had no idea about it, Seeing they spent the time discussing the problem, the nomad could not bear the mess anymore, he said: “stop”! , then he told them the truth about the wallet. 

They found the poor man at the gate of the temple, he hadn’t left yet. So, money was back to the rich man, things cleared, and the fisherman was free to go back to fish.

This mess seemed to be handled well by the nomad, but Bodhisattva said: “just go back to your life, you thought it was impartial that you opened your mouth to tell them the truth, but nobody got the things they wished. If you have kept silent as you promised, the rich man could have got his virtue by his money helping others, the poor man would have saved family’s life and if things were not cleared soon by your mouth, the fisherman could have stuck in the temple more to avoid the bad weather, then he wouldn’t have died.

The nomad was silent then walked out of the temple . . .

Everything happens for a reason, they are under the best arrangements.  Things happen when it meant to happen.Sometimes, all answers can be found in silence.

Humans learn to speak in two years, but take the rest of life to learn when to keep silent.
