Feng Shui Cure

Lighting is an effortless Feng Shui cure for the home. Lamps, scones, and chandeliers are simple home decorating items for the home. Bring yin or yang lighting into your home to activate or deactivate the energy of a specific life area.

If you want to activate a life area, put on the lights and be creative with their design and use a variety of energy saving lights. If you want to deactivate an area, turn off the lights but not indefinitely as you need a balance of all the life areas.

Activating Home Lighting Ideas

Fame (South): Place a bright light in this area. The light should face up and illuminate a specific part of the area. Highlight your goal plans or an object that symbolizes your life goals.

Career (North): A medium light in this area is ideal, but not overpowering or you will be only focused on your career endeavors. A blue lampshade or blue light is one home lighting idea for this area.

Wealth (Southeast): Have a vertical rectangular light that represents upward growth. Place small energy saving Christmas lights on a tree and have the lights on a timer.

Personal Relationship (Southwest): Keep the spark alive with a small decorative lamp. Have a green or pink shade to represent growth and love in your relationship. Ideal place for the decorating item is the bedroom or living room.

Family (East): Have a light on in the family room. A fireplace is also a great Feng Shui cure for this area. It promotes closeness and warmth.

Children/Creativity (West): Have a unique lamp for the west area of the home. Place it in the family room or the child's bedroom, something that is silly and outrageous. Medium light you don't want to over activate the area, unless you want the kids jumping off the furniture.

Travel/Helpful People (Northwest): Place a spotlight on a globe or have a globe lamp. This would keep the energy moving in the Northwest area of your home.
Knowledge (Northeast): A small lamp that directly highlights your work. You may use a desk lamp, book lamp or a small lamp that can be easily moved.

The home decorating idea of lights is a key Feng Shui cure. All of the life areas can benefit from the proper use of lighting objects. Be sure to be selective, you do not want all eight lights on at once. You want to highlight 2 life areas at one time and get them in balance before activating the other life areas.

Incorporating energy saving lights into your home is an inexpensive Feng Shui cure. Often we just need to put a little extra illumination on a part of life that needs to develop.
