The windows of your home not
only let light into your space, but they can also allow you to
have more energy in your life. By looking for ways to enhance
their ability to draw in energy, you can begin to change not
only the look of your home, but also the way it feels. They say
that the eyes are the windows to the soul and in Feng Shui the
windows are the openings or eyes to your life. In Feng Shui, you
can begin to see dramatic changes in your life by simply paying
attention to the way your windows are looking out into the
world.
Regulate the Flow of Energy
Windows can help to regulate the
energy that is surrounding a home. When you have a home that’s in the
middle of a busy street that is full of hard or sha energy, for example,
using drapes and blinds in the windows will help to diffuse the energy
while also blocking any energy you don’t want in your space. Of course,
if your home is surrounded by positive things, then you would want to
open the windows up more in order to share this positive energy in the
home. Look to the windows to help you begin to change the way the
energy moves in or doesn’t move into your home.
Cure Energy Arrows
Sometimes, your home might be in the
line of energy fire, so to speak. If you have corners or sharp items
pointing at your windows, this can cause hard energy to flow into your
home. In order to soften this energy, you will want to add plants or
other items in the windows. These Feng Shui helpers will deflect and
transform the energy into something more positive. Closing the drapes
will also help as will hanging crystal balls in the windows to transmute
hard energy (sha) into positive energy (chi) and prevent it from causing
harm.
Find a Good View
Ideally, you would want your windows
to open up into a beautiful setting. You would want to look out your
window and see a nature scene that makes the energy of a room and the
entire home more positive. If you are able to see a beautiful picture
when you open your windows, make sure to keep your windows open as often
as possible. This way, the energy of nature can infuse your home with
positive Feng Shui chi.
Fill Up a Blank Wall
Blank walls next to windows are a
no-no in Feng Shui. This can generate negative energy, so you will want
to add something beautiful to these spaces. Try to find ways to add
mirrors or other decorative touches to these areas so that energy is
positive.
Add Pretty Touches
Finally, if you’re not able to live
next to a beautiful nature scene, it will help you to spend some time
decorating the area around the windows. Though the window might not
open up to a beautiful mountain, at least the energy that surrounds a
window can be positive and supportive to your world. Look for beautiful
drapes and flowing curtains to help you draw in the positive Feng Shui
energy that comes from the world, even if the setting isn’t serene.
With your windows, you can begin to
make Feng Shui changes that will allow the space to feel calmer and more
relaxing.
