The winter holiday season is the season when many of us spend extra time decorating our homes to create a special holiday atmosphere. Anytime we spend time creating home environments that make us feel good it’s good feng shui - but in this case, it’s limited.
Feng Shui encourages us to create home environments that embrace us with comfort and warmth; environments that make us feel good about ourselves - year round, not just during the holiday season.
Your home contains the story of your life, ever-changing and evolving. Embracing your story enables you to embrace your personal sense of comfort and style. And style goes deeper than just design or decorating. Style has meaning; it embraces your individuality, your authenticity, your memories and connection to family. Style is about understanding yourself, gaining confidence and expressing your creativity. When you express yourself in your home, your life becomes richer and more meaningful.
“When everything at home contributes to the story of the house and of those who live there, that place-be it house, home or heart-cannot be anywhere else than where it is. In places like these, it’s possible to understand the spirit and the rhythms of the lives lived within, day after day, because their presence is visible and palpable. In houses like these, there’s always someone home.” Jeffrey Bilhuber (The Way Home)
Top 3 Feng Shui Tips for the Perfect Holiday Home
- Review your holiday decorations. This year, instead of putting out everything, put out only those items that you really love, items that truly create a sense of joy and comfort for you.
- As you rearrange your space to make room for your holiday décor, view your belongings and rooms with a fresh perspective. Look past current and previous usage to how your rooms and things can be adapted to suit your actual needs, now. Allow yourself the freedom to create living spaces that support your needs and desires. (That dining room doesn’t have to be a dining room, it can be whatever you want it to be…a home office, a library, a study, etc.)
- Take another look at the things, (furniture, accessories, objects), you own. Keep only those things that resonate with positive energy, and positive memories and connections. When you surround yourself with things you love, things that resonate with positive memories and associations, you create the energy that makes a house into a home.
Make this holiday a season to remember, embrace your personal sense of style and come home for the holidays.
