Out With The Old, In With The New

The confetti and champagne associated with New Year's Eve is gone, but our new resolutions are just getting underway. Whether your desires for 2014 involve better health, more prosperity, or improved relationships, feng shui can help you reach your goal.

Feng shui is an ancient art and science that emphasizes living in harmony with your environment and creating supportive surroundings.

It utilizes the same five-element theory used in acupuncture and is often called “acupuncture for a space.”

In feng shui, the Chinese New Year has special significance. It's an opportunity to start fresh, usher in healthy energy, and set things in motion for an auspicious year.

To take full advantage of the power of the Year of the Horse that will come galloping in on January 31st, start a few days beforehand by giving your home a thorough cleaning to clear out stagnant energy. Replace burned out bulbs, throw out old food, and don't forget the closets.

Clear clutter. It exhausts us, costing us emotionally and financially. Get rid of anything you don't use, don't need, or don't like. Pay particular attention to anything that is broken. Broken things have broken energy. Fix it or toss it.

In your entryway, fix squeaky hinges and peeling paint, put out a welcome mat, and place something lovely to see as you walk in the door, the “mouth” through which energy enters your home.

Surround yourself with symbols of abundance and good luck, such as fresh flowers and a bowl of oranges on your kitchen table.

On January 31st, take a break. No cooking or cleaning on this day. The belief is that handling sharp objects such as knives “cuts” good luck, and cleaning “sweeps” it away. Take a deep breath, put on a new outfit, and seek out positivity and joy to set the tone for the entire year.

Wear red on the final day of the 15-day Chinese New Year celebration, which falls on Valentine's Day this year.

Don't fret if you don't get it all done “in time.” Feng shui can be used to help you create abundance all year long.
