- 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home

Feng Shui is something I've wanted to implement into my room and home for years. For some reason though, I just never got around to it. This book made me want to get up and actually do these 27 things - and I did just that!

Here are some of my experiences with some of the suggestions from this book:

Clean Out Your Closet

Closets seem to get cluttered again shortly after cleaned, don't they? Well, this time I pulled out everything in my closets (I have 2 in my bedroom) and completely reorganized them. Even though I didn't get rid of too much, I did clean them and organize everything so the energy flow in them is 100% better.

The effect: I could notice a large change in my bedroom the same day I cleaned and organized the closets. It was like the heavy feeling was gone from the room!

Keep Doorways Clear

I have lots of cool stuff, and sometimes some of that stuff blocks doorways. Apparently, this is very bad for feng shui. So, I moved some stuff around and made it as open as possible (it isn't 100% but hey, I'm not perfect).

The effect: It is supposed to be letting in new opportunities, and I've gotten a few more writing jobs since doing this, so I think it worked!

Clear Out Old Pictures/ Change Your Wall Art

I don't have too many pictures of people in my bedroom, but I do love artwork. I've had a new True Blood poster of Eric waiting to be put out, so I hung that over my TV. I also rearranged some other items and artwork in the house as well.

The effect: I like not seeing the same thing where it was for years, moving it around seemed to help spice things up. I'm also loving my Eric poster, who wouldn't love a hot black and white picture of Alexander Skarsgard as a vampire hanging in their bedroom? Okay, not for everyone - but for me it is the best!

Add Purple to Bring in Wealth

My room is already a nice deep shade of purple. So, not too much new with this one, but the color is very soothing to me.

The effect: Maybe I need to repaint the room to get the fresh rich wealthy feeling. Moving everything would be a huge hassle though, so I just cleaned the walls. I think it gave the same feeling because the next week - I won a prize and got more writing jobs!

Overall, I am quite pleased with what I learned from 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home by Tisha Morris. I think that if you were ever interested in Feng Shui, or just want to make the energy and feel of your home better, this would be a great starting point for learning about Feng Shui in an easily readable and teachable way.
