Energy is our most precious personal gift from the Universe. We all know when we meet good energy people and we instantly recognize the happy home where laughter, love and success reign supreme. Here are some surefire practical ways to zap energy stealers and change them into healthy positive energizers that will nourish and sustain our lives.

1. NOURISH INNER SPIRITUAL ENERGY

relax and meditate

Take charge and tap into your inner spiritual power. Discipline your mind to think positively and practice using your inner voice to maintain that healthy dose of optimism that surrounds you like a mantel of protection. Every day discard poverty programming. Keep negative people at arm’s length. Visualize your own success and take just five minutes out of your day to dispel negativity by sitting quietly to meditate. Passively pay attention to your own breath and let each new inhalation bring refreshed energy into your body. This powerful daily practice keeps the mind fresh and the body free from disease. Activate your creativity to tap into your inner power. Sleep enough, take time to dream, sing out loud and remind yourself to be generous to those who need your attention.

2. ENERGIZE YOUR HOME ENVIRONMENT

Re-energize, update and fire- up your living space every year before Feb 4th. Use a compass and know your correct room directions. Place the important elemental cures in the proper corners and rooms. Zap yearly afflicted areas (robbery star, illness star, three killings, five yellow etc) and learn flying star techniques to energize the corners in the home where positive chi resides. Incorporate the Eight Aspiration theory to enhance each of the eight directions and eight types of good fortune that reside therein. Learn the correct colors, symbols, and auspicious objects that refresh the chi. Zone in and develop a keen awareness to your surroundings and the impact they have on your energy. Move your furniture around to prevent stale blockages. Pay attention to the front door. Paint, fix the squeaks and leaks and make sure that there are no blockages to incoming chi. Open all the doors and the windows every New Moon to bring in that graceful yin energy that nourishes and refreshes.

3. FIRE UP YOUR LIFE

Create personal charisma and take charge of your appearance. Throw out old soiled clothes. Pay attention to your physical body and keep it clean, well groomed and smelling fresh. Wear nice clothes and be ready to receive the good fortune that the Universe can send you. Wear clothes that suit you, make-up that enhances your appearance and jewelry that brings energy into your face. Display only auspicious happy pictures and place lucky enhancers on your dressing table. If your life is stagnant, jump- start it and throw a party. Plentiful food, friendly laughter, and supportive loving friends all bring yang energy into the home. Learn how to activate mentor luck, generate recognition and move your career forward by incorporating feng shui symbols placed in the right corners. Leap out of your old comfort zone and dance into that new place you would love to be. Have courage, display hope and don’t be afraid to laugh out loud.

4. DISPEL ENERGY BLOCKAGES

Clear clutter wherever you can in your home. A home laden with clutter is a home that annihilates energy. It is as simple as that. Chi gets drowned out and turns unhealthy in stale environments that are bursting with old furniture, mold, dust, bad memories and unhealthy fighting. Energy needs room to gather and disperse and clutter gets in the way. Get rid of old pictures, love letters, sorry mates that only brought you grief. Mercilessly go through your past memories and relationships and consciously make the unhappy ones disappear. Celebrate only those times filled with special people that made you feel alive. Go through every closet, every room, every cupboard and clean, throw away and refresh every space. Give away old clothes, throw out broken pottery, jewelry and shoes. Add a fresh coat of paint to brighten and refresh the walls. Engage in space clearing on a regular basis. Burn sandalwood incense to dispel illness, negativity and fighting. Ring metal bells and learn healing mantras. Use singing bowls to go around every window and door. Pay special attention to the bedroom where blockages build up. It is amazing how powerful these practices are if you incorporate them into your daily routine, you will see wonderful results immediately.

5. HEIGHTEN AWARENESS

avoid beams

Attune your senses to your environment, give your space your full awareness and learn to see with feng shui eyes. Learn how to use protective elements creatively to neutralize harmful buildings or structures that may face your home. Understand how to use yin water to quiet nasty neighbors. Protect yourself from protruding corners that may hit your bed while you sleep with creative use of fabric or mirrors that wrap around the offender. Do not sleep under heavy beams in your bedroom as their pressing down energy has the potential to cause disease. Place lamps with very bright lights pointing at the beams to soften the power of the overhead structures or the downward slanting ceilings. Dispel yin energy from antique furniture brought into the home by rinsing it with salt, incense and fresh air. Disarm all energy blocks outside the door. Clear a pathway for the chi to enter. Invite yang energy into the home and avoid too much yin but be sensitive to your own personal needs to find harmony. Above all, be alert to negative people as malicious energy can be debilitating. Remember you are in charge of who enters your home and your life.

6. PREPARE FOR LOVE

If you are looking for love and marriage, feng shui techniques to the rescue. Choosing Mr. RIGHT is your decision as your own heaven luck, intuition and judgments make those decisions, but feng shui CAN bring lots of suitors for your perusal. Adorn your PEACH BLOSSOM DIRECTION WITH THE PROPER ELEMENTS AND SYMBOLS. Discover your personal love direction and sleep with your head pointed to that direction. Activate the southwest of your bedroom, office and living room (if you are female). If the toilet is in the southwest of the home, use another one if you can. Close ensuite toilet doors if they are in your bedroom. Place pairs of crystals, ceramic pots, scholar stones – earth energy in the southwest corners. Kindle the earth symbols with fire energy – lights-. Make sure your bed is big enough for two people and try NOT to sleep on a divided mattress on a bed jammed against the wall where chi is blocked. Remove reflective mirrors and never sleep under heavy beams. Keep computers out of the bedroom. Place double happiness signs, the lover’s knot, lotus flowers and happy pictures of lovers to remind the Universal energy that you are free and in the mood. Get started and learn to let go and surrender to your heart. Be sure to remember to have fun on your journey to renewed energy.
