We all wish our home to be a peaceful place. Positive energy is a key element in human being’s development capabilities. Likewise, it bolsters the relation between members of a family. There are some actions you can take to condition the atmosphere in your home and transform it into a relaxation space of complete harmony.
Give space to light and natural air. Open your windows in such a way that airs flows from the street. Don’t keep your curtains closed for more than three days. Try to use transparent materials such as glass for window building, since it lets sunbeams in your home and puts positive energy in motion. It’s also a good habit to open your windows very early in the morning.
Welcome plants. According to NASA’s Clean Air Study, the Spathiphyllums, also known as peace flower, is one of the best air purifying plants around, it reduces xylene and toluene, elements that compromise our health and the energy of our spaces.
Areca palm is on the second spot as an air purifier plant. This type of palm reduces the effects of benzene and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. Chlorophytum comosum, also known as spider plant, Brazilwood, Golden Pothos and the Areca palm are other plants the International Institution recommends.
The role of order. Housekeeping and order is essential for the energy in your home to be positive: Discard used decoration, enforce the “one in, two out” rule, put your laundry away after taking it off, focus at least 15 minutes a day in keeping spaces tidy.
Shift positions. According to Feng Shui, it’s essential to invest time in the furniture arrangement. Regularly shifting the order of the cabinets, appliances, couches and tables; allows the energy to remain in motion.
Doing the laundry, drying the dishes: Negative energy is retained in dirty or stacked objects. Thus, make sure to put away your laundry as soon as possible. If you can, drop the habit of leaving your dishes out to dry.
Decorate a fruit basket. Many people keep fruits in the fridge. Don’t hide them as they are a great source of positive energy; showcase them in a basket over the kitchen table and try to get differently colored fruits in it.
Paint the house the right colors: Depending on a room’s purpose you must choose the right colors for it. The best colors for bedrooms are relaxing ones, like white tones combined with blue or green; yellow being counterintuitive for instance, since it tends to feel annoying and bothersome.
Finally, don’t forget to spray your home with natural perfume. Sweet smells attract freshness, driving the bad smells away and stimulating good vibes. Besides, tidiness and order speak really well about your personality.
