Feng Shui for Health

Practicing Feng Shui for health was a concept that I hadn’t heard of until I was well into my twenties. It was described to me, initially, as being about the simply intentional placement of furniture. So I went ahead and did that, believing that I was opening up the energy flow in the home – it worked, I was happy!

Later a wise friend gave me a much deeper insight. From that moment on, practicing Feng Shui for health has become a major part of my efforts to take care of my body, spirit and environment in one. In fact I’d say it was pivotal.

Of course, there are plenty of skeptics out there who have never engaged in the practice but still believe that there’s no way it works. Honestly, I don’t think it works for everyone because not everyone is open to their own energy. So many of us scurry through life consumed with the bills and our ailing health and the kid’s issues that we never stop to consider where all the influence is coming from. My personal belief is that you have to be open to experiencing energy in order for Feng Shui to impact your health. Nevertheless, there will always be a critic that giggles at the concept of my home and my office.

If you’re interested in Feng Shui as a potential source of new energy for your daily health, let me make just a few suggestions. Read up on the subject first. I’ve recently added a post about the simple things you can do to start Feng Shui in your home or office. Starting simple is essential because your foundation will be the block upon which you build the rest of your Feng Shui practice. Firmly grasping the basics and being able to make adjustments as necessary is the beginning of learning how to manage an entire Feng Shui home.

Don’t be easily dissuaded by friends and family members who left their tact and their support at home. Sure, everyone has an opinion that they are entitled to but you have the right to increase your health in your own home. Those who practice Feng Shui have openly stated that they feel more energized, healthier, and even more balanced than before they began. It’s my opinion that those who have tried it are better sources of information than the naysayers who have not.

Your daily Feng Shui rituals should start off small and easy. As you become more familiar with their meanings and understand why you’re doing what you’re doing you will have a more positive experience. How often do we fully embrace anything that we don’t understand our own motivations? A ritual or an intentional placement is rather meaningless without the understanding. When your intentions are pure you will get so much more benefit from the action, which in turn will benefit your overall energy and health.

Using Feng Shui for health benefits can make your entire household balance better. I have even heard rumors of siblings fighting less. Who knew? Enjoy the process and enjoy learning about something new. Feng Shui is fun, interesting, and beneficial. What other household task can you assign those three words to?
