Feng-Shui and Window Blinds
April 5, 2008admin Comments OffThis is an interesting take on window blinds in a feng-shui situation..
One way in which energy enters and leaves your home is through your windows. By sitting close to a window, you will become part of the flow. Ideally, the front of your body should face the window, so that the incoming chi interacts with the phoenix side of your chi field. The aim is to benefit from the expansive outside the chi, making it easier to feel creative. You can adjust the way energy flows into your home by using different types of window treatment.
What to do
- Experiment with sitting so that you face a window you choose has an inspiring view. Try to arrange your position so that you also face a helpful direction.
- Keep the windows clean and uncluttered so that chi energy can move freely. Ideally, you will be able to choose between reducing the energy that flows through the windows when you want to settle down and relax and being able to fully open up the window to allow in as much light as possible when you want to feel more active.
- Use window blinds in situations where you want to calm the flow of chi and create a more cosy, comforatble atmosphere. Wooden blinds make it easier for chi to flow, creating a more dynamic and stimulating atmosphere; and you can angle them to let light through, without receiving the glare of direct sunlight. Fabric roller blinds have the advantage of leaving the windows unobstructed when they are rolled up and providing a softer surface when they are pulled down.
- You can match the material of your window treatment to the different chi energies present in each part of your home.
- Wooden blinds such as Venetian blinds (north, east, south-east and south)
- Fabric roller blinds or curtains (south, north-east, south-west, west and north-west).
