How to Balance Spring Qi

Let’s look at a few ways to get you started:

Let the Spring Cleaning begin

This is the perfect time to get rid of old and unused items and clear that clutter from areas that need special attention like your storage room, filing cabinets at work or garage and closet at home.

Decluttering is a very important principle in Feng Shui. When you clean your surroundings it creates an opportunity to get rid of old stagnant energy and bring in much needed yang energy or fresh energy into your dwelling. Also use this opportunity to let go of any old habits or patterns of behavior that no longer serve you. Letting go of mental baggage helps you create more space and energy for new ideas and opportunities in life.

Create a natural energy flow

The power of Feng Shui lies in the ability to create an environment that encourages positive energy and activity. Start by clearing the clutter from your workspace, whether it’s a home office or commercial one. Reorganize furniture to ensure there’s plenty of open space available for Qi (energy) to move freely through your environment – this will help keep the balance between yin & yang in harmony.

Bring in nature-inspired accents

It is also important to incorporate elements of nature into your interior design, such as artwork with natural images or plants and flowers that symbolize fresh beginnings and growth. Freshly cut flowers are particularly popular during spring time – they bring both colour & life into a room, whilst bringing their own unique energy.

Practice the Art of Qi cultivation

In addition to physical changes in your environment, use this period of renewal as an opportunity to cultivate your own  Qi (life force) through simple exercises like mindful breathing or mindfulness-based meditation. This is a powerful way to re-energize both your body and mind with positive energy and allow yourself to recharge for the season ahead.

Refresh Your Front Door and Windows

It’s very easy to get excited & distracted by all the changes you need to make in the interiors of your space & completely forget & ignore the exterior of your property. Just like the interiors, what you do with the exteriors of your space has a big impact on your life as well.

As per Feng Shui – the front entrance of your business and home is called the ‘NaQi mouth’ or the pathway through which you welcome the new energy into your home in the form of opportunities & thus prosperity. So you want to ensure your front entrance to your work or personal dwelling is always clean & clutter free. While doors are the entry point for Qi, the windows are said to be your perception about the outside world. So take advantage of this time to clean your home’s exterior – especially your front doors and windows.

Add Fresh Plants

While it may be tempting to add fake plants due to low maintenance, we always recommended utilizing every opportunity to introduce the actual elements in their natural form of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth & Metal for adding their beneficial Qi to your space, as recommended by a Feng Shui expert.

Add a few fresh blooms, plants and fruits to a bowl or a vase. It represents abundance, fresh opportunities, removes bad odours which add to Sha Qi (harmful or negative energy), soothes the eyes & generate an overall sense of happiness & well being.

Feng Shui Fun Tip : Take this opportunity to bring a bouquet of fresh flowers home to your significant other or family, you can instantly see a transformation in their energy & how a small thoughtful gesture from you brightened up the energy of your home & those in it.

Plants also filter air, increase oxygen, allow breathing in fresh air & increase the serotonin also known as ‘the happy hormone’. So they are truly a no-brainer to bring into your home, simply based on the scientific & many health benefits they bring. All image credits – Canva.

In a workspace or business setting, scientific studies have shown that natural elements such as live plants have been linked with health benefits including decreased levels of depression, anxiety, better recovery from job stress & illness, increased psychological well-being & more. According to the principles of Biophilia, just a visual connection with nature is responsible for lowering blood pressure & heart rate, improved mental engagement & attentiveness, positively impacted attitude & overall happiness. So ensure you create a workplace setting which mindfully incorporates some if not all of the 5 elements in nature to enjoy the long term benefits that Feng Shui based Interiors can provide for you & your team.

Finally, it’s now time to turn our attention to ourselves – what types of intentions are we setting for ourselves this spring? What goals do we want to pursue? Once you have set these intentions, take action steps towards them with enthusiasm – as Chinese Proverb goes ‘The man who moves a mountain, begins by carrying away small stones’. So start small and move on to bigger and better ideas/plans and you will enjoy the blessings of abundance, harmony, peace, happiness and prosperity!

In conclusion, this Spring season is the ideal time to use Feng Shui for refreshing & rejuvenation. Remember cleaning, decluttering & re-organizing your space will help create a harmonious environment that can uplift and motivate you throughout the year. Focus on the wood element to bring balance and growth opportunities into your space as you make use of this season’s energy. Use this special period of renewal as an opportunity to optimize your environment to make it more conducive for abundance & joy!
