Fall is a season that gives people a chance to take it slow and to enjoy the fruits of their hard work. As the nights lengthen and the days grow ever shorter, we tend to desire to create a balance between our indoor and outdoor lives. If you’re feeling that a particular aspect is eating your life, then this is the time to do some Feng Shui.

Here are some suggestions that can help you transition smoothly to the colder seasons –

Increase the Flower Power

What could be an even more awesome power or energy during fall than to harness the beauty of marigolds, chrysanthemums, and the equally colorful nasturtiums? These are the kinds of colors that will make you feel better when you’re feeling stressed or burdened by something.

Just imagine the golds, oranges, reds, and greens that beautifully mix to give you’re the soothing effects that you would need after a long day at work or at school.

Harness the Flow

Have you ever thought of adding a water element to your home? Having a fountain will give you that welcoming sight when you come home from a hectic day at the office. Wouldn’t it be nice to hear the sound of flowing water after spending hours in a traffic jam? This sound can also appease your nerves especially when you want to sleep more soundly at night.

Lights: Lower the Notch Please

It’s time to change those bright light bulbs and have them replaced with low-watt ones. Summer was a time to be active and to frolic in the sun but those days are long over. Now that fall is here, it’s time to slow things down a bit and to soften your home’s lighting as well.

With dimmed lights, you can better enjoy a cup of tea in the afternoon or listen to soft music prior to going to bed.

Feng Shui Your Social Life

Yes, you read that one correctly. If you want to transition peacefully to fall and eventually to the colder months of winter, it is best that you do not only declutter physically but also socially.

A good way to begin is to remove all the things that deplete your energy. If you have to update your address book as well as your online friends, then do so. You don’t have to tolerate intolerable people.

Move, Move, Move

If you’re still feeling energized from summer’s activities, then you can harness the power of Feng Shui to help you adjust. Just reposition 27 elements in your place. The Chinese believe that nine is the number representing longevity and when you multiply that thrice, then you get the number representing growth.

The number 27 is an auspicious number that will bring about many positive changes in your life.

Be Inspired

If you’re one of those people who have a hard time disconnecting from the business and hustle and bustle of modern life, then you have to learn to lift your thoughts to a much higher level.

You can do this visually by putting a lovely vase right where you normally rest your eyes when you are in your bedroom or you can also hang a wall painting that evokes peace and harmony onto your entryway.

If these don’t work for you, then set up a special spot where you can meditate when the time permits. A yoga room should be far from the busiest parts of your home such as the dining room, kitchen, and the living room. Ideally, it should be neighbors with your bedroom.

Lastly, you can also create boundaries such as shielding the home office desk with a group of potted plants or hang a curtain between the home office and the bedroom so that there’s a distinction between these zones.
