Feng Shui from the Inside, Out – Day 11
Feng Shui from the Inside, Out? Day 11

The Kitchen
As mentioned yesterday, the kitchen is a place of nourishment and the perfect place to illustrate co-creation, to show that not only does your space affect you but that you affect it as well.
When we prepare food, even if that preparation is no more than lifting the lid from a microwaveable container, (though I really hope not!), our energy goes into the food. In other words, we feed ourselves – and anyone else who may be sharing that food – our mood. Food prepared in a poorly lit space with counter tops that beg for a cleaning is tinged with the low level of dissatisfaction that is generated by working in such conditions. Likewise, food prepared with love tastes better than food prepared begrudgingly. Food consumed around contented, happy people is digested more easily than food consumed in an atmosphere of tension. All of this has been known since time immemorial.
The kitchen in any home is reflective of the health of the people who live there while in turn it affects that health and well-being in its innate efficiency, effectiveness, comfort level and cleanliness. Is your kitchen clean? Is it organized efficiently? The body loves organization; it responds to order as a reflection of its own internal order. Is it easy to work in your kitchen? Struggling to find a good spot to work generates a low level of agitation that creates a mild energetic field of discomfort which your body and the bodies of anyone else in that kitchen will register at an unconscious level, an energetic filed that will permeate every porous surface in that space from ceiling to floor and grow more dense with each passing day.
