how to create more peace in your life

Did you know that creating a peaceful life is the third most popular reason why clients want to work with me? After improving love and money, more peace is why a lot of people turn to Feng Shui.

Now i am the queen of peace. I an unbothered, i don’t pay attention to things that don’t improve my life and i have mastered the art of shutting my mouth and only talking about what i want to create and not the opposite. Now if you didn’t know, i home school three children, have a whole husband and home to run, plus, i have to go out in the real world and deal with bad drivers, grumpy people and all the things the real world brings and i still sleep peacefully at night!

Now don’t get me wrong, i am not perfect, i have days where i let myself feel the things that are bothering me but, it is how i deal with them that allow me to come back to peace. I choose peace.

I have learnt that my energy is expensive. My time, may sanity and my thoughts are all so high value and worth too much to let the little things matter. If someone chooses to gossip about me, is it true? No. Do i need to respond and start a rumor about them? Well, that might make me feel good for a while but still, no.

When i say my energy is expensive, it really is. That might sound arrogant but you’re energy is expensive too. It is worth millions and you need to be selective on where you spend it. I promise you, that will bring you peace in itself.

Changing your energy from within is crucial for Feng Shui. It is an element that many Feng Shui consultants and experts miss. Just like placing 100 money cures in your home won’t make you rich (blog post coming soon!) Placing cures around your home for peace won’t actually bring you lasting peace, unless you choose that your energy is expensive.

So now that you have chosen peace, let’s go through some Feng Shui tips that will help you to change your environment to match!

Tip: To help you foster your new belief repeat this affirmation through the day: I am worthy of peace. My energy is worth millions.

Nature is medicine. Taking a walk in a forest can help you feel grounded and zen. Bringing the outside, inside is always my first suggestion for a peaceful life. Not only are plants are amazing for the air quality in your home, they help to bring calm. If you are not a plant person try to start small. Bring in one plant and see how the energy changes.

Plants create calm.

If you really can’t do plants. The earth element will be the next best thing. The earth element can be shown in the colors brown and green and natural fabrics like cotton and bamboo. Even a brown or green rug in the living room will help bring a grounded energy or even sleeping with sheets that are made of cotton.

De cluttering your home is so important for calming the chaos. Not only will it create a more peaceful life, it will help to stop the mind chatter. When we remove things we don’t need we physically make space for more of what we do want to come in. If you are ready for change, we have to do the action to start the process of change.

Doesn’t a clutter free, organized pantry just make you feel better?

Mirrors. It is well known that in Feng Shui, mirrors can help redirect energy in the home. Sleeping opposite a mirror will create disharmony but a mirror in your front entrance can help move Chi or energy around the home. Please note that the mirror should never be opposite the front door as this will push energy back out, but on the right or left side is perfect.

A well balanced entry table makes me smile.

This tip is so simple. Natural light! Opening the curtains or blinds daily will bring in natural light. Natural light is amazing for reducing stress and helping to feel calmer. The sun is my favorite. Open all of the curtains and blinds in every room, even the bedroom. A lot of my clients do not open the curtains in the bedroom and then wonder why the energy feels cold, stagnant and they have trouble sleeping.

If the curtains where closed, this room would feel so different.

Choose colors in your home that feel calming to you. This is different for everyone as we all love different colors but color therapy is so real. Some Feng Shui consultants will say to avoid dark colors but personally i love the color black! In fact my bedroom is sparkling emerald and that brings me calm.

Have a room that doesn’t make you feel peaceful? Add a hanging crystal to the window in the room or to the entrance of the room. The light will shine through them and disperse little rays of happiness around the room. Try it and then watch how you learn to love that room. This can also work in dark hallways and areas of the home that don’t get much light.

A hanging crystal like this one will bring you happiness.

I hope this helps you and i truly wish peace for each and everyone of you. If you are interested in working together and changing the Feng Shui of your home please visit ModernFengShuica.etsy.com
