How to purify your interior and make room for positive vibes?

With the multiple lockdowns, many of us have been reconsidering our relationship with our homes, the well-being we feel (or lack thereof) inhabiting a space. And many, detecting bad vibes or unpleasant waves, have decided to move or redecorate their homes.

Adopt a 'Feng Shui' lifestyle

To quickly cleanse your home of bad vibes and live better, adopt the art of Feng Shui! This Chinese art of living will place importance on the placement of objects and the colors of your interior. A few rearrangements and a couple of brush strokes can be enough to help you rediscover your home and free it from any feelings of anxiety.

Feng Shui was originally created to build your home in the best location based on the principle of the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Applying these principles is a sure way to gain serenity, balance, and comfort! Here are some tips for adopting Feng Shui at home, in your bedroom, or living room. And you'll see: all this is deeper and says more about what your interior should inspire than a few "Feng Shui decor" tips!

The placement of your furniture has a significant impact on your sense of well-being! Indeed, depending on the space your furniture occupies, energies circulate differently. Thus, certain pieces of furniture can contribute to retaining negative energies and darkening the energy profile of your home. To begin, focus on the entrance, which is the key room through which energies enter and exit. It should be as uncluttered as possible, bright, and decorated with plants and flowers.

Once the entrance is secure, turn your attention to the kitchen. The kitchen is essential in the art of Feng Shui because it combines two incompatible elements: fire and water. Thus, it's the place where energies clash and can become a very strong weight in your home. Therefore, avoid placing a fire-related item (cooktop, oven) opposite a water-related item (sink, dishwasher).

Last tip for your kitchen: avoid sharp corners and edges: store your knives and arrange your kitchen with rounded islands. Finally, using Feng Shui in bedrooms is imperative! In bedrooms, opt for simplicity. Above all, avoid electronic objects as well as mirrors: placed opposite the bed, they bring insomnia and adultery...

Regarding the choice of colors, you must alternate between yin (colors bringing calm, rest and serenity, pastel and cold) and yang (colors bringing life and dynamism, colorful). You will not adopt the same yin-yang balance depending on the living spaces. For example, blue, the color of concentration, is ideal in an office, but should be avoided in a bedroom, as it evokes nostalgic feelings... Conversely, yellow is the color of communication: it is a perfect choice to liven up shared living spaces like a living room or a kitchen. Often avoided, red is the perfect color to give vitality in small touches. A simple red cushion can bring life back to a space in which you feel apathetic or oppressed!

Using the elements…

Fire is an essential element for purifying your home. You can therefore use the Native American custom of lighting a bundle of sage and extinguishing it 30 seconds later. Go through your home with the fumigations and spread them throughout the rooms while saying a few words ("I wish to get rid of...").

Focus on the rooms or places where you feel the least comfortable (especially near the bed if you suffer from insomnia). Above all, while you perform this ritual, air out your home! This is essential to drive away the bad energies that you are chasing away with fire. As an alternative to sage, you can also burn a piece of Palo Santo – the sacred wood of the Incas, reputed to attract good energies.

You can also simply burn a scented candle! Be careful, however, to choose it carefully: scented candles or mood candles are often filled with additives that are harmful to your well-being and your home. They will therefore produce the opposite effect to the one you intended and will have negative energetic impacts!

See the energetic scented care for the home

Scented candles found in stores or traditional perfumeries can clutter your home and can be harmful to your health. Therefore, it's essential to use a natural or vegetable-based candle. Instead, opt for Hozho scented energy candles like "La flamme Purifiante," ideal for purifying your apartment or home. It's a high-quality candle, perfect for taking care of your home and letting positive vibes flow through it. These vegetable wax candles don't pollute the air and don't emit any harmful residue during combustion: they're the ideal companion for anyone looking for a healthy home.

A child of the earth, salt has always been a fundamental ingredient used in Greek, Roman, African, and Hindu civilizations for its magical properties. Salt is used to combat bad energies or evil spirits that can inhabit a home. To purify your home, fill several small bowls with coarse salt and place them in a corner of each room. Over time, the salt will turn black: this is a good sign; it means it is absorbing the negative waves that are present in your home. When its color is black, change the salt.

Repositioning yourself at home

We're increasingly surrounded by electrical and electronic devices that disrupt our environment through the waves they emit. Microwaves, cell phones, tablets, smart speakers... The best solution? Turning off your phone, spending a few hours without Wi-Fi, and unplugging devices are good habits to adopt when your home becomes too cluttered.

Do you sometimes feel like you don't really live at home in your own interior? That's because you don't really inhabit the space! The best solution: get into a meditation position, breathe with your belly, and close your eyes. Then let your mind travel within your interior. To do this, imagine that your mind leaves your body and goes into each room. Mentally represent the room and focus on each corner through visualization. Say out loud what you see in the room ("I see the table in the center of the living room, there are 4 wooden chairs," etc.). Repeatedly, these exercises will make you the true master of the place!

With all these tips, you'll be perfectly equipped to regain control of the energy in your home or apartment and purify it! Repeat these practices regularly, and you'll rediscover the exceptional feeling of a healthy interior filled with positive vibrations!
