3:00 pm on Feng Shui Friday
I may have bitten off more than I can chew this Friday. Here is a “before” shot. Actually, it is a “during” shot. I was looking for one receipt and ended up deciding to tackle *all* the piles that have accumulated in my home office. BTW, this photo was taken from the doorway of the room so you are looking right at my wealth corner. This clutter is literally affecting my wealth. I uncovered an unpaid parking ticket, a past due credit card bill, a prospect’s business card whom I forgot to call . . . you get the idea. I am determined to get everything to its place before the day’s end – either a file folder, the recycling bin, the shredder or a give away pile.
I did unearth a great flyer from a real estate agent called Indoor Plants and Feng Shui. I don’t know who published it or whom to attribute it to, but I’ll reprint it here. Some wonderful tips for the home office. Enjoy!
“Houseplants are an integral component of the feng shui approach to a healthy home by providing life and vitality to your indoor environment. According to feng shui, plants connect us to the natural world and increase the flow of positive energy throughout our home . To take full advantage of the feng shui philosophy when it comes to your indoor garden, consider the following:
- Choose plants that have round or soft edges over spiky, more aggressive-looking species.
- Get rid of sick or dying plants to avoid negative energy. It is better to have no plants at all than ones that are sick.
- Create a positive impression and energize the entry of your home by placing a plant or floral arrangement near your front door.
- In feng shui, the angles and corners so abundant in Western architecture are seen as dumping grounds for negative energy. In order to allow energy to flow freely throughout your home , place plants or indoor trees in the corners of a room.
- Conceal electronic equipment – it gives off an artificial energy as opposed to the natural energy of plants. Drape or hang a potted plant near your computer or stereo equipment, or place a plant that can be easily moved in front of the television to counter negative energy.
- No matter where you place them, know that the best way to enhance your home ‘s feng shui with plants is simply just to have them.
