Bring Down those Walls for a Good Feng Shui Feeling
Who knew that walls were so important in the world of Feng Shui? Walls can actually have a huge impact on a space. And do you know which two walls are likely the most important in your living and work space? It is the wall that you last gaze upon before going to bed as well as the same one you first see in the morning. In addition, in the office, whether at home or in another location, the wall that you see while conducting business at your desk is also important.
The primary object in terms of Feng Shui is to make walls disappear, particularly when they are in close proximity of your body. Sometimes, you cannot get around having your bed located so close to a wall or your desk facing or bordering a wall. When that happens, you have to employ Feng Shui techniques in order to make that wall theoretically disappear. The only time when you don’t need to worry about walls close to you are those times when a wall is behind your work area or behind your bed’s headboard.
So how do you change the appearance of a wall to make it not seem like an hulking, energy sucking source in the room? You incorporate color, textures, wall art and more to transfer different energies to the wall. This is especially important when you want to emphasize a particular life center in Feng Shui.
Let’s take a wall in your work space. What if your desk faces a wall? The result in Feng Shui terms is that your energy is blocked or greatly hindered. This means that your creativity and productivity is stifled. You have to do something to open up those positive channels of energy! This is where the Feng Shui techniques come in. Choose photographs, pieces of art, framed quotes, diplomas and more. Anything that will provide you with the inspiration you need to succeed will help open those channels of energy to create a positive Chi in the work space. By incorporating these high energy producing pieces, your own levels will increase. Essentially it is like the equivalent of recharging your batteries.
If it is a wall in your bedroom, you will want to create a calming center so that you will not be jarred awake each morning or have a hard time falling asleep. Artwork in soft colors or even a few shelves displaying silk flowers or candles is appropriate. You want something that will make you smile each and every time you see it in the morning and at night.
There are other things you can do to fill a wall space. Paint the wall a base color of your choosing that is complementary of Feng Shui. Then choose another paint color in a shade that is slightly darker or lighter than the base color. Sponge this slightly different shade on the walls. The result is a wall color that is alive with subtle textures due to the slight variance of colors. This makes the energy just come alive in the room.
If you are in a work space and need to transform a wall, you can also employ lively plants to create an interesting effect as well. In addition, these plants will purify your space and remove pollutants in your air too. In your work space, you want more Chi to maintain your creative drive so that you can achieve success.
With Feng Shui, you can empower yourself and come up with some great plans to transform a wall that is stifling your positive energy. Before you know it, you will be enjoying the fruit of your labors. Feng Shui can be a powerful tool in your arsenal of success.
