Feng Shui 2021 – Preparing for the New Year
The end of this year has been a time long-awaited by many, especially because 2020 has been an odd year. But the expectation surrounding it goes far beyond celebrations: the festivities represent a period of renewal, where an old cycle ends to make way for the new. Feng Shui 2021 presents us with great tools to prepare for a new cycle that begins and its energies.
Feng Shui for 2021
For over 2 thousand years, Feng Shui has relied on knowledge from other spiritual arts such as acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Tai Chi, I Ching, and the Chinese horoscope to outline its strategies.
Through this knowledge, the technique manipulates a place’s energies to bring them to an ideal level. For example, some colors have an energetic vibration that favors relaxation and healing, so why not apply them in your room? Other colors and talismans can favor creativity and concentration. They make them ideal for environments such as the office, but this must also be combined with the furniture’s correct arrangement to allow a good circulation of energy.
In the end, the idea of Feng Shui is to integrate everything into an extensive system that purifies and minimizes negative energies, enhancing and strengthening positive vibrations. Check out some of our valuable tips to decorate your house and create an “ambient” for the Holidays.
AROMAS – OILS, INCENSES, AND PERFUMES
The scents of a place also play a role in influencing energies – remember that Feng Shui works with a complete package of tools. Using essential oils, incense, and specific perfumes help balance energies and make the environment much more pleasant and inviting.
The most used aromas are orange, lemon, cinnamon, and cloves. But it is possible to customize this choice for your home according to more specific needs. However, it is necessary to take into account the entire household. You can also perfume and purify the house using natural flowers in white, yellow, and red lilies of the peace and dracaenas.
THE CHRISTMAS TREE – THE 4 ELEMENTS IN DECORATION
The Christmas tree is an iconic decoration for this time of year. It plays a significant role when an element of energy harmonization. This harmony begins with the fact that the pine trees’ shape, pointed upwards, serves to stimulate this union between heaven and Earth – this attracts positive heavenly blessings to your home.
The wood element’s representation is important to complement your tree’s decoration with the other elements: Fire, Earth, Water, and Metal.
Fire: can be represented by triangular shapes, stars, and pyramids (the pine’s very form can be linked to Fire).
Earth: Leave square and rectangular gift boxes close to the tree. If you can, wrap each of them with yellow, caramel, beige, and brown paper. Stones and ceramic objects are also great for composing the decoration with Earth.
Water: bet on ornaments like balls and garlands in blue, silver, or transparent colors. Another option is to place a navy blue or black towel or rug under the Christmas tree.
Metal: use shiny pieces like golden or silver bells and candlesticks. Balls and ornaments in these colors are also well accepted.
From the moment the Five Elements cycle is complete, Chi will flow and bring good luck to your whole family. But remember to avoid placing the Christmas tree near the front door.
This is a place of significant traffic for people, so you never know what kind of energy goes through there. Then choose a light and bright area for the assembly – preferably opposite the door.
NATIVITY SET AND THE BIRTH OF CHRIST
Following the Christmas theme, we have the Nativity. Besides the Baby Jesus himself, the birth event has its own importance within Feng Shui 2021: he has extraordinary energy and must be treated with affection.
One of the places with the best spiritual connection to your home’s divine protection in the Northwest area. This area is considered a sacred place, and it is there that your crib should stay if possible. If it is difficult, at least try to direct it in that direction.
THE MAIN DOOR OF THE HOUSE
This is actually a suggestion for the whole year, but it becomes even more important during Christmas and New Year. Try to keep the entrance to your home always very well-lit and with some welcome symbols; leave the entrance to the house inviting so that it is easy to enter.
It would be best if you invited the new cycle and its positive energies into your home. To be more careful with the negative energies that can take advantage of this, place a plant right next to the entrance to purify those energies.
Still on the decor, do not miss a garland on your front door. Symbolizing a cycle, it is responsible for filtering and recycling negative energies. And when choosing or making your own, abuse the colors! The more colorful, the greater the concentration of good energy.
Another good tip in the New Year is to open all doors and windows in the house just before midnight. In doing this, you will be allowing and inviting all the positive energies to enter it; it also permits the negative energies to flow out more quickly. Turn on the lights to ease this process.
WINDOWS – YOUR PORTALS FOR THE FUTURE
Portals for the future, windows should be adorned carefully and without exaggeration. Frame them with white lights only. On the parapet, place an object that symbolizes your desire. If you want prosperity, put a pot with coins, for example.
PLANTS AND FRUITS
Speaking of plants, they are especially important in your decoration, not only now, but throughout the year. For now, try to put some plants in your home, without exaggeration, just enough so that they can play their part.
Some plants with very bright and colorful flowers can give an air of renewal to the environment. Natural plants and flowers are a symbol of life and rebirth, the arrival of a new life, which combines very well with the Christmas and New Year season. Give preference to white flowers with green leaves to decorate the table and other house points—the more beautiful the arrangement, the better the flow of energy.
You can also place some fruit on the living room table as a symbol of abundance and prosperity. Some oranges, grapes, pomegranates, nuts, or dried fruits may be enough to attract these energies.
CANDLES AND LIGHTS
Candles are excellent energy vectors so that they can be positioned in your main rooms like the dining room, the master bedroom, the kitchen, and the bathrooms. Candles can be a great asset in working with Feng Shui 2021 in the house. It is still possible to choose your candle according to the most appropriate colors for each environment, favoring some energy or compensating for deficiencies. There are also aromatic candles associated with the house’s aromatic strategy, whether they match the colors. The important thing here is not to reuse old candles, even with a short fuse. For this Christmas and New Year, buy new candles.
Regarding the lights, I prefer blinkers with lights in white or yellow to attract good fluids. And attention! If any lamp burns out, replace it immediately as burnt objects attract a lot of negativity.
AUSPICIOUS TIPS FOR FENG SHUI 2021
What do you wish for 2021? Now that Christmas and New Year preparations are underway, let’s leave some decoration suggestions according to what you want for the next year.
TO ATTRACT HEALTH
In the central area of your home, abuse the decoration using objectives (and objects) in golden and yellow colors and/or that have square shapes.
TO ATTRACT LOVE
Subtly, position some decorative objects in pink color in the house rooms where there are many people. If you prefer, you can also select some items in pairs to do this attraction technique.
TO ATTRACT PROSPERITY
During the preparations, organize your kitchen cabinets, as they symbolize prosperity. On the dining table, prepare a beautiful bowl or fruit bowl with lots of fresh fruit. Then take a look at the baguá in your house and find the Prosperity guá. There, you should place the Christmas tree (or a small symbolic tree, if the “official” is already in another room) and hang positive phrases for 2021 on it.
TO STRENGTHEN SPIRITUALITY
Spirituality and the strength of faith are essential at this time of year. So, take care of the religious and protection symbols in your home. Have books on the topic, positive messages, prayers, chant mantras, place images of saints, angels, gods, or goddesses, make your home a temple.
Remember that the year 2021will have Metal and Water as its main elements. Try to keep amulets, symbols, and images in your decoration that refer to these elements (as in their colors or shapes) or are made of Metal.
Before decorating the house to receive friends and family, it is essential to follow this good energies checklist. See what Feng Shui 2021 says about prior organization and cleaning.
MONEY IN THE WALLET
Starting the year with a little money in your wallet is very good for attracting the energy of prosperity and ensuring that it is always full during the year. This tip is for those who will spend the festivities at home or places like friends’ houses.
GET RID OF WHAT NO LONGER SERVES YOU: MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW
Feng Shui 2021 talks a lot about getting rid of everything that no longer serves you or brings some negative feelings, such as sadness.
Before the 31st, try to eliminate any object that is not serving anything or refer to something terrible. Throwing away these items will make room in your life for new and positive things.
Let go of attachment and get rid of the accumulation of clothes.
Most people who have their wardrobe stuffed with clothes haven’t used many of them in years. Donate or even sell what you can and keep what really represents who you are. Like clothes, accessories that are no longer used only to attract negative energies and take up space. Broken or incomplete accessories are even more serious, like an earring without its pair, a watch that no longer works, or a necklace that no longer closes. If you don’t use it, you don’t want to repair a defect, or it’s something without great sentimental value, get rid of everything. Pieces like these can attract and accumulate a lot of negative energy and disrupt an environment’s entire energy balance without you even realizing it.
LEAVE ALL ACCOUNTS PAID
We know that this is a complicated subject for most people in crisis times, but if you can, pay as many bills as you can before the New Year to attract more positivity for 2021.
CLEAN THE HOUSE VERY WELL
A clean and organized house is important within Feng Shui 2021. Physical dirt is also synonymous with energetic dirt and hinders its good circulation. Start the year with a clean and tidy house.
Cleaning helps to purify negative energies and, in a way, “eliminate the old.” If you wish, you can wipe with a cloth bathed in water with coarse salt to help with the cleaning, be careful not to damage any more delicate furniture.
BOOKS
Reading material such as books and magazines stimulates energies of wisdom and knowledge; try to include this item in the decoration even if discreetly. If you have a study location or an office, be sure to have some well-organized books.
CUSTOMIZE THE ENVIRONMENT
This is a measure that applies specifically to professional environments, such as your office. It will serve you, whether it is located at home or in the company. The point is that this is a workplace and should be treated as such but having personal items that give your table a personalized touch, for example, is a perfect thing. However, many tend to exaggerate this regard, which leads to disorganization and a confused and unfavorable energy movement. In the professional environment, the energies dedicated to this purpose must prevail. Use a personal item as an anchor to help you in times of difficulty and reflection, and not as an element that holds you in place.
We wish you a terrific 2021. May the new year bring to the realization of all your heartful desires.
