Christmas Tree Placement Guidelines Based on Feng Shui Wisdom
Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice focused on achieving balance and harmony, can offer some interesting insights when it comes to decorating your home for Christmas. Here's a guide to help you understand how to use Feng Shui principles to enhance your holiday decorations.
Feng Shui is calculated using the map of Bagua, an eight-area grid aligned with the compass directions. This grid is overlaid onto your floor plan to analyze energy flow and identify areas related to aspects like wealth, health, and relationships.
For your home, you can use either BTB Feng Shui or Compass Feng Shui reading. In BTB Feng Shui, the Family area is located in the far left-side middle square, the Wealth area in the back left-hand square, and the Fame area in the back middle square. In Compass Feng Shui, the Family area is found in the East, the Wealth area 'lives' in the Southeast area of your home, and the Fame area resides in the South.
Christmas trees represent the Wood Element, which symbolizes a new beginning, breaking new ground, and the start of something. Placing a tree in the Family and New Beginnings area can help you live in the present moment, while a tree in the Wealth and Abundance area can symbolize growth of abundance, gratitude, and wealth in all forms.
Decorating with colors that harmonize with the chosen life area can further enhance Feng Shui principles. The Family area appreciates the color green, while the Wealth area adores those rich, regal colors often associated with holiday decor - like red, gold, silver, and green. Decorating in accordance with the Fame area, honor its appreciation of Fire energy by decorating with warm red, orange and gold ornaments.
The best place for a Christmas tree according to Feng Shui is a room where it will be appreciated and gathered around, such as the living room. A tree made of lights, a tree drawn on the wall or a mini tree made of donuts can bring the same intention and so bring the same energy.
To maintain the extra brightness and Wood energy that festive twinkle lights and trees bring into your home once the holiday season is over, consider adding extra lights or indoor plants. To avoid the customary post-holiday flatness once everything is packed away, these additions can help.
It's worth noting that real trees bring in the best Chi, but the most important thing is intention. If a faux tree is reused year after year, it can be a great option. However, if a live tree starts to die or a strand of lights completely burn out, it might suggest you share that sense of struggle or notice less 'energetic wattage' in that area of your life.
An unused room can also represent an area of your life which might need a little more attention. Placing a tree in an unused room can elevate the energy in that part of your life and 'attract' some new attention your way.
In conclusion, incorporating Feng Shui principles into your Christmas decorations can help create a harmonious and balanced atmosphere in your home, and potentially even improve certain aspects of your life.
