5 Tips For Vibrant Kitchen Feng Shui
The Kitchen is a very powerful place feng shuiwise. It is the heart of the home. Like your heart it is deserves special care for optimal health. Does your Kitchen delight the senses? Or it is usually an eyesore?
The kitchen will positively affect the part of your life and your body it relates to when :
1. The kitchen counter surfaces are primarily clear and ready to allow you to prepare yummy healthy meals. Even if you eat out nearly all the time. Youll want some beautiful colorful bountiful feeling art accessories or even just bowls of real fruit. A healthy plant or two.
What you dont want are counters so stuffed with occasionally used appliances and stacks of papers that it is impossible to use the kitchen without clearing a space first.
2. Ideally knives are kept in drawers. Yes they probably came in a beautiful counter top knife block but it is not good feng shui to have knives so easily accessible especially if there are children in the house. And even if they arent. Williams Sonoma has indrawer knife blocks.
3. Your kitchen will have two three or four drains. Drains can drain your finances your physical health your aspirations to travel clog your sinuses and otherwise wreak havoc depending on the kitchen location in relation to the feng shui grid.
Ideally you keep all those drains closed unless youre using them. In reality that can be a real hassle. Which isnt good feng shui either.
You can energetically keep your drains closed with kitchen sink strainers.
4. Can you see the front of your refrigerator? Or it is covered with photos kid art exercise class schedules calorie/fat charts coupons and a horde of marauding magnets?
It is good feng shui to display your childs art. Its even good feng shui to do so on your refrigerator. However not willy nilly and not in the midst of all that other stuff. If you are honoring your childs artistic endeavors honor it. Display it clearly.
Photos of people who love and support you depicting fun vacations and personal celebrations are great for the refrigerator door. Create a pleasing composition of items with the door as the canvas.
Tape exercise class schedules to the INSIDE of a cabinet door. Ditto calorie/fat counters. They are handy but dont nag you there.
5. Out of sight is not out of mind in feng shui so if your kitchen cabinets are stuffed with appliances containers multiple sets of china and even food you havent used in over a year its time for some clutter clearing.
Cleared out cabinets frees your creativity and your respiratory system if that is the part of the grid where your kitchen lies. If it is in your Relationship area cleared cabinets help you clear out your emotional baggage and be fully present with your sweetie.
The basic question to guide your Kitchen Feng Shui is this: Does your Kitchen delight your senses or not?
