Let Nature’s Art dominate the design of the home, rather than a human ego.
Keep it simple so you can use all of your senses to ‘feel the aura of Nature’ embracing you. Feng Shui is about the subtle energies that cannot be seen in your home or surroundings.
Americans tend to gravitate towards grand structures that boost an image, rather than simple structures to boost a sense of well-being and health.
But, this is changing as more people are concerned with the global environment. Did you know that feng shui was the precursor to the green movement?
Real Estate clients I have worked with ask about what feng shui influences contribute the most to a serene, calm, healthy home or environment;
5 green feng shui attributes to consider when buying/re-doing a home:
- Good feng shui size needs to be proportionate to the number of inhabitants to feel cozy, comfortable, and connected. Mc Mansions can feel lonely!
- Exterior environments are the most important: well lit, safe, quiet and with a green landscape. This will absorb toxins and noise, provide shade, natural beauty and a place for the birds to sing their songs- a natural relaxant. A tree on the sidewalk, a place for pots of flowers on the balcony, or a walk to a park near your home -all work.
- Natural finishes like tile floors, bamboo wood floors, and shoji screens to filter the natural light. The more natural vs. synthetic, the fewer health problems like asthma will occur.
- Like minded community members who also value green living. Build & buy only what is needed.
- .Well placed windows and doors to let in the gifts of sunlight to illuminate the surroundings and uplift you. These will also provide pleasing views to expand your horizons, and gentle breezes to gather in fresh, clean air, and release the stagnant energy.
