We all feel better when we clean our space. Order around us, sparkling cleanliness, a pleasant fragrance, and beauty create order, peace, and tranquility within us. Because taking care of our home is taking care of ourselves.
Spring is the time when a new cycle of life begins. The yin energy of winter weakens, and through the awakened nature within us and around us, we feel the pulsation of yang energy.
To let all the power of spring into our homes and our souls, and to open up to the new – it is important to clear out everything old, unnecessary, and broken. Everything that belongs to past cycles.
Give a chance to the ancient art of Feng Shui – engage in spring cleaning. You will feel more energy, lightness, and life satisfaction.
Spring cleaning in the Feng Shui tradition:
- Get rid of excess things: The first step in any cleaning is to remove everything that is bothersome, no longer serves, brings heavy emotions, or no longer has its place or purpose in your life. This eliminates the burden that, like an anchor, ties us to the past, hinders us with commitments we no longer want to accept, and simply makes room for something new and better that we crave.
- Thoroughly clean your apartment: Many people do not like cleaning – but if you approach it as meditation, self-care, it becomes a spiritual practice that connects you with the space and yourself. Try it – you might be surprised at how changing your perspective changes our perception of things.
- Dust: Dust consists of particles of our skin that no longer serve us, dirt from the street, or other objects that obscure surfaces, hinder our breathing, and impede the free flow of energy – so it is important to remove it. The shine of clean surfaces and objects delights us and fills us with clean energy.
- Wash all the windows in the apartment: Shining clean windows provide a clearer view of the world, literally and metaphorically. Light entering directly through clean windows fills both the space and us with joy and energy.
- Wash the curtains: Clean curtains bring softness to the energy in the space – cleanliness makes them lighter, airier, and fragrant. Beautiful, clean, and fragrant curtains are a mini wellness treatment for your body, soul, and mind.
- Deep clean carpets and upholstered furniture: Carpets and upholstered furniture collect dust and mites – clean them yourself or order deep cleaning. Cleanliness permeates us with pure energy that nourishes and relaxes, making moments of rest more productive and nourishing for our body and soul.
- Bring fresh qi energy into your home: After getting rid of excess and cleaning stale energy, you will create space for something new – fresh energy, new experiences, opportunities, and moments of joy and ease. To support this process, apply some Feng Shui rituals that introduce and encourage the free flow of qi energy.
- Bring in fresh flowers: Fresh flowers are full of life energy; they provide a pleasant fragrance and delight us with their beautiful appearance. Spring is the right time to enjoy luxurious bouquets or simple bouquets of meadow flowers.
- Light sage and set intention: Sage smoke cleanses the space and enriches the air with negative ions, while a short meditation with setting intentions centers you and connects you with your needs and desires.
- Nourish your plants: Spring is the time when plants begin to bloom – nourish them, refresh their leaves, and enjoy the energy of young leaves, shoots, and flowers.
- Cleanse the space with sound: Using the sound of Tibetan or crystal bowls raises the vibration of the apartment and releases accumulated negativity. Focus on the present moment with the tones of the bowls and feel the pure and stimulating energy within and around you.
The space around us and the space within us require daily care and attention. So nurture your space and nurture yourself, creating harmony within and around you. Feng Shui is a great inspiration and aid in this process.
