Creating good Feng Shui in the kitchen is extremely important. This is the one room in your house that attends to all six aspects of your life, including the physical, mental, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual. The food that comes from the kitchen nourishes your body, which energizes your mind, and stimulates your emotions. Tasty, fragrant foods high in vitamin and mineral contents and low in sugar are best. Large quantities of organic fruits and vegetables to balance the carbohydrates and proteins will manifest the equilibrium of meals and help you connect to the four basic energies acquired from the life-supporting sun, earth, wind, and water.
The psychological effects of food in your life have created likes and dislikes, as well as good and bad habits. These should be observed carefully in case changes need to be made that will result in a healthier you. Socially, the kitchen offers a special communication through the sharing of good company, stimulating conversation, and laughter, along with a combination of efforts between family members when preparing delicious meals. The more well balanced the meal, the better organized the space, and the more harmonious the company; the more elevated beneficial energy will be derived from the natural Chi that you create in your kitchen.
Many people bring the spiritual aspect of a meal into the kitchen through the creativity they express while preparing it with a special flare and serving it with style to please the eyes and nose as well as the palate. Those who eat in the kitchen, generally offer up spiritual feelings of gratitude before enjoying its flavorful nutrition.
If it is at all possible, the kitchen should be kept from the traffic that moves in and out of the front or back door. It will disrupt the calming energy that you form as you work in the kitchen area. An atmosphere of positive vibrations in your kitchen will produce good feelings in the chef, which in turn will spread more well-being and happiness to those who share the meal.
To increase the benefits derived in the kitchen, arrange the area so it is bright with proper lighting, clean with uncluttered counter tops, and inviting to anyone that enters it. Try to keep it as spacious, airy, and as simple as possible, even if your work space is limited. Colorful, fresh cut flowers can add to the mood you are seeking to accompany your meals and a small house plant in the window will extend an uplifting energy.
Making a creative arrangement of different types of fruit and nuts in an attractive container will compliment the colors of your kitchen and continue the emotion you wish to share with others during the meal. If your kitchen is void of the color yellow, splash a little around in your fruit and flower arrangements, or get dishes or cups with a little yellow in them. Yellow is excellent for the digestion and can be selected in many hues and tones that will match your décor.
Perfect Feng Shui in the kitchen promotes wealth and prosperity, and when you attend equally to all six aspects in your life by absorbing impeccable positive energy through the food prepared and eaten in a well-composed uplifting environment, this is sure to follow.
