Tip Of The Month

Have you always been interested in feng shui, but did not know where to start? Here are six quick tips to creating a calmer, more balanced environment in your home.

• Gain a renewed sense of clarity by taking care of things that have been piling up, such as bills and mail.

• A messy, cluttered environment inhibits the proper flow of energy. Keep your home clean and organized, and get rid of anything that you no longer use.

• If anything in your home is broken, either fix it or throw it away.

• Use plants in your home, and make sure to keep them well-fed and watered. Plants with round leaves are preferable in feng shui.

• Take care of any drafts in your home, as they can cause health problems and carry away money.

• Keep a minimum of sharp-cornered objects and avoid excessive overhead light.
