Feng Shui at Your Service
Vikki Albers, Consultant

New to Feng Shui? Start here!

If you are a beginner to Feng Shui,
you have found a great place to dip your toe in.
No previous awareness required.

Feng Shui acknowledges the energy of your surroundings
and your relationship with it.
You will see as you become more familiar with this website,
my approach is very easy to understand and practical.
You are encouraged to look at and appreciate your spaces
as well as tend to them.

Whether you are familiar with the Feng Shui of your surroundings
or if you are just becoming curious about the concepts,
you've selected a great time for this energetic nudge.
We begin your introduction to Feng Shui with opportunities for
a greater balance of energy in your homes and work spaces
translating into greater harmony for you.

You will find these suggestions easy to implement
with uplifting results.

Be gentle with yourSelf as you begin. Take this one step at a time,
Rome was not built in a day, nor will your Feng Shui shift occur overnight.
(Actually, there are times it does happen just that fast.)

Take this auspicious time for an observant walk
around and through your home.
Start at the entry and meander into each room,
down every hallway,
up the stairs,
around,
and out to the garden.
What do you see and how does it feel?
Are there rooms you prefer to be in more than others?
Make a note of what you find uplifting and let that ripple to the rest of the house.

As you begin this Feng Shui observation, take time
to look at the front door area of your home.
Here we have the Mouth of Chi where the life force enters;
quite significant from a Feng Shui perspective.
We want this area to be open and welcoming,
attractive to all the grand possibilities on their way.

Clean the front door, inside and out –
clean the window, polish the knob, and wipe the threshold as well.
Oh, goodness! Yes, by all means, remove the holiday wreath,
and put away the outside decorative lights if they are still on the house.
If you replace the wreath, please use a material other than dried – try silk.

The beginning of the year marks a good time to replace the door mat – worn or not.
If that got by you this year, you may replace the mat now.
As you tidy, be conscious to set an intention of gratitude
for all the blessings finding their way to you.

Things are starting to sparkle now!
Sweep the dust and fallen leaves from around the front door and path leading to it.
Broom-away the cobwebs.
Illumine the way by washing the outside light fixtures and replacing burned-out bulbs.
Pull out or cut away any plants not strong and healthy – replace the greenery.
Trim bushes and trees blocking the view from the windows.
See those opportunities coming your way?
Clean the birdbath and feeders, stock up on seed and nectar.

The inside entry way will want to be tended to also.
Remove clutter – especially if it keeps the front door from opening all the way.
We don’t want our knocking good-fortune to inhale and contract before entering.

Swing open the door,
these opportunities are enormous!

Sweep, vacuum, mop, dust.
Clean mirrors, pictures, and frames.
Polish the light fixtures.
Add your favorite scent.

Peek into the pantry.
If it’s been a while since you cleaned there,
empty the contents and put back only edibles that are future-dated and fresh.
Do the same in the medicine cabinet tossing all medications
prescription and over-the-counter lingering beyond the shelf-life.
Check with your pharmacist as to how to dispose of medications properly.
Move forward fresh as a daisy, leaving yesterday’s foodstuffs and remedies behind.

Look under the beds. Don’t be afraid.
The only thing you want to find is a clear space
for Chi to circle around you as you sleep.
If you find shoes, boxes of long-forgotten treasure,
or a colony of dust bunnies your work is cut out for you.
Empty the space and clean.
(If you are pregnant,
leave under-the-bed as-is to clear and clean after the baby arrives.)

How about the garage? Bad?

I know.
Terribly difficult to resist putting all the odds and ends
we aren’t ready to let go of in that big space.
We typically add as much horizontal surface there as we possibly can.
Let me tell you, it may be possible to hide clutter from Aunt Eileen in the garage
but not from Chi.
A suggestion:
every week when you roll your garbage and recycle containers to the street,
drop some little unused and neglected thing in with it.
Over the weeks this will make a difference, painlessly. Try it.

As you move through your home making these Feng Shui adjustments
be conscious of your thoughts.
Set an intention adding power to the mundane changes you placed.
Here’s an example:
“My intention is to sincerely welcome all imaginable
empowering opportunities (and even more) to my life.”
or
“I intend great happiness to all who live or visit here.”
An awareness of your thoughts while making Feng Shui changes
adds oomph (i.e. power) to your actions.

Are you wondering whether this is really Feng Shui?
After all, so far no mention of moving your sofa.
You will find as you move through your own Feng Shui process
that so much of it begins with a consciousness of your environment,
tending to your surroundings,
and releasing a need to clutter.
This would not be all of it, but a solid beginning.

Pretty easy so far?

It feels invigorating, doesn’t it? I hope you find these suggestions helpful
as you begin your own Feng Shui process.
May this shiny, spruced-up space honor you,
and everyone and every thing entering your home.
Actually… let it be a blessing to everyone who so much as gazes upon it!
