Traveling can be fun and an exciting adventure or a hectic, frustrating nightmare. There are some simple Feng Shui travel tips to follow that will make the trip a pleasure. One traveling Feng Shui tip is to take part of your beloved home with as you travel. Pack a special travel Feng Shui bag to hold personal things. This travel bag holds personal pictures, scents that will clarify the smell and energy of a stagnant hotel room, and possibly a candle or two.Another Feng Shui tip is to pack incense to adjust the chi of a room. Create a semi-Feng Shui sanctuary or alter of the personal items and allow their positive energy to carry through the entire traveling experience with you. Bring along some inspirational reading material. If some affirmations are needed, a quick glance helps boost the attitude. The traveling items bless and strengthen you on your journey.
If a motel or cabin is located too close to a busy street, try moving the bed further back in the room if possible. If the big television is “staring at you in the room, a quick tip is to cover it with a towel. Place flowers around the room and play soft music. As part of the travel plans, ask the hotel manager the colors of the interior. Ask if the windows open to the outside. Taking a few extra minutes making these travel arrangements assures a quiet, comfortable stay. If a room feels stagnant, hand a crystal in the center of the room. Think natural in a sterile environment. The fresh flowers will work wonders for brightening up your travel plans. Be careful to maintain your personal chi.

If traveling by car, a good Feng Shui tip is to clean the car thoroughly inside and out. Cars just seem to run better if they are well taken care of. Energy can get stuck and stagnant in a car too so have an air purifier or potpourri in the car. Bring traveling things to make the trip fun and comfortable. Pack a few snacks and relax on the trip. In China, red is desirable so tie a red ribbon to the rear view mirror of the car implying safety. Consider the car an extension of the living space.

Some spaces you might discover yourself in might have very high energy, and some might have poor feng shui. If fortune is on your side, you will have to waste very little time in rooms, or homes with bad feng shui.
The number one level of excellent feng shui is personal cleanliness on the physical level. You know a clean area versus an area that looks clean but has all the unwanted items stuffed in closets, basements or under the beds and coffee tables. That rarely works, as you cannot fool Chi, or energy.
So, a physically clean area is the number one obvious choice. Having it clean and keeping it clean. If you come up with a decision to make between renting diverse spaces, look for purity and freshness as the absolute must, not for pretty decor.
After you have a more or less clean foundation, you can continuously create Excellent energy with a small "feng shui on-the-go" assortment of items. These would be items that will help cleanse the energy, as well as keep up first-rate energy around you.
In addition to adding some ambient light, you will also want to bring in symbols of growth and energy. Adding plants to your cubicle or office is a great way to do this. The only trick to adding plants is that you need to water them and take care of them, much like you might take care of your career. Plants that are dying or that are on the verge of dying aren’t going to be of much help to your career energy. If you can’t sustain a plant in your space, try adding pictures of forests or flowers to help attract this life force energy. You can even use silk plants if there is not enough natural light to sustain them.
Carrying one or two small crystals is always a sound idea while you are away from home. Clear quartz and rose quartz are exceptional choices. Black tourmaline for protection or kyanite for balancing work well. Do not forget to purify your crystals from time to time. You can incorporate the crystals subtly as chi laden jewelry/body feng shui, or by carrying small mixed crystals in your pockets.
¬ Essential oils you like the most are forever an excellent "feng shui on-the-go" tool. Carrying lavender oil to refresh your energy during the day is a great way to travel. Lavender also has strong shielding properties. Explore numerous essential oils to see which scents strengthen your energy field the most.
¬ Burning or smudging incense is a wonderful idea for any room, but you might not maintain the ability to do that while travelling. However, an air spray with a high-quality essential oils mix would work well to quickly pick up the energy of the room.
¬ Stay safe by sussing out the energy around you and avoiding the bad areas. A place can look pretty but have treacherous energies or bad feng shui still. The only way to access this information is with your gut feelings or intuition. Does it feel good or doesn't it? Do not let your mind interfere for the first few seconds and you will perceive things that might be hidden and not particularly obvious about the feng shui of any space.
¬ Next, learn as much as you can about beneficial feng shui basics before going away and you will quickly know which spaces would be better for you: From the energy of spaces close to the water to the energy of houses on a cul-de-sac.
¬ If you are traveling with your partner and worry about maintaining the strength of your loving relationship, it is continuously a beneficial idea to keep with you a small photo of your best fun and loving moments together. The photo can be part of your "feng shui on-the-go" package and help smooth your communication as needed.
