In Feng Shui, the kitchen has a long list of symbolizing health, wealth and profusion. The food you store and prepare there supplies nourishment and nourishment, enabling you to prosper in the world. Making meals and cleaning up afterwards are important methods to show how much you care for yourself and your family and friends.
Here are Top-Ten Feng Shui Tips for making your kitchen into the "healthy heart" of your home.
1. Clean everything inside ... out. This includes drawers and upboards, appliances, walls and counters. Line shelves with new liner paper, and give the floor a good scrub.
2. Appraise what you really use. Feng Shui asks that you keep only what you use, need, or love. As you remove things from cabinets and drawers, ask yourself when you last used this item, and what the likelihood is of using it. If you want to keep an item you infrequently use, consider deep storage, or make room for it on higher kitchen shelves.
3. Clear the counters. Remove everything from the countertops to wash them off and ask yourself, "How often do I use this?" before you put it back. Many appliances live on the countertop unquestioningly.
4. Put like with like. As you take things out, put like things together. As an example, separate sweet baking spices from savoury ones, and store coffee filters near your coffee mugs. You'll make your life feel just that much easier going forward.
5. Adjust shelves to maximise storage space. Most cabinet shelves are adjustable. As you think about putting your newly-organized things back in the cupboards, separate tall items from shorter ones and adjust your shelf-height accordingly .
6. Use "shelf helpers" for convenience and potency. Items like tray racks, lazy susans, and stacking shelves don't cost much, and they can change your life. Get good "chi energy" flowing by ensuring everything works. Fix things that are damaged. Check that doors swing openly. Replace chipped spoons and sharpen your knives. In Feng Shui this is a critical step - things that are well-cared-for indicate your goal to take the best care of yourself, too!
7. Create a secure place for paperwork. Paper processing in the kitchen creates confusion, and can be perilous. If your kitchen has turned into a mini home-office, is time to get the papers out of there.
8. Recognize the importance of your stove. The burner, a robust Feng Shui symbol of Wealth in your life, is the center piece of this "Heart of Your Home" and must be treated with particular respect. A technique to do this is by noting your disposition to use just 1 or 2 burners. Spread the wealth and use them all to bring more healthy energy into your house.
9. Use mirrors to form more wealth. In Feng Shui, the burners on your stove symbolize wealth coming into your house. You can multiply this by simply placing a mirror behind the stove so that it reflects the burners. This mirror also reflects activity behind you as you cook, so it brings in a desirable element of safety and comfort as well .
10. Balance the elements. Finally, your kitchen already contains four of the five components of Feng Shui : Fire, Water, Metal and Earth elements. The part that is usually missing, Wood, can be brought in simply with stuff like fruit or a small plant - or an image of one of these. When the elements are balanced, a space feels great.
Is your kitchen everything it may be? Take a look and use Feng Shui to make the changes -- you'll notice the uplift immediately!
