If You Do Just One Feng Shui Practice For Your Home, Do This

 Feng shui is the art of applying unique variations of an ancient
practice to improve our wealth, health, and happiness. But it is not
meant to be complicated, esoteric, or even weird. Having studied and
practiced shui for almost a decade, I’ve distilled my work down to
simple mechanics that, if observed and honored, will deliver megawatt
results. The biggest darling of them all: sweeping.

What began
as a simple starting point for an overwhelmed client has become the
vertebrae for all my feng shui consults. Whether you're at a crossroads
or just want to keep your energy upright, sweeping will change the air
around you.

If you’ve never heard this before, you're in for a
fascinating surprise. Here are three reasons to grab your broom and give
sweeping a whirl:

1. Sweeping is an excellent ritual to incorporate into a daily or weekly routine.

First, think of a ritual as a servant of your intention.
And since frequency creates frequency, the more you honor any ritual
you set, the more energy you collect around your intention. Eventually,
those intentions manifest and become a frequent experience in your life.


A simple ritual I LOVE is to regularly sweep outside our front door.


This signals to the universe we're open for luck to find us. I give
thanks for the day or week and all its possibilities. Whenever we align
quality attention with a ritual, our intentions are given the spotlight.


2. If you aren’t sure where to sweep, follow me and start outside your front door.

Feng shui
holds that our entryways welcome all universal blessings into a home,
so if you want luck and opportunity to find you, make your entrance
entrancing. The more we use the front door, the more we invite
auspicious energy into our homes and lives. A sweeping ritual is the
perfect way to stitch the door’s frequent use into a meaningful routine.


The other gorgeous note of any observed practice is that we
begin showing up for ourselves differently. Something sacred happens
when we excavate what isn’t serving us and pursue simplicity as an
everyday experience. A small pattern habitually repeated makes a BIG
difference, and you'll find yourself living energetically at a much
higher octave. Better flow, more synchronicity, and a surge of
inspiration will become constant companions.

3. The act of sweeping is synonymous for out with the old, in with the new.


Not only are you sweeping away dirt and debris, you are symbolically
releasing the past and low-vibe energy while preparing room to receive
refreshments. By declaring spots in our home as sacred space and
maintaining them, little improvements ripple into other areas of our
lives. Sweeping is a simple gesture toward our home, and a powerful
statement to the universe. And this message gets her attention. Every
time.



Once you start sweeping, watch for delightful little
synchronicities — the universe will answer the call. As you reclaim your
home and all its potent power, listen to your instincts. Your house
will give you clues and cues precisely where to take your attention
next. Lean into your space and find ways to anchor your own rituals of
LOVE into your days — they will become beaming beacons of light,
attracting the necessary ingredients for a really good life. And when
you don’t know what else to do, sweep.
