A new year means a new opportunity for a fresh start. It is the time to reset and attract positive energy into your life.
In Feng Shui, preparing your home and environment to remove unwanted energy and welcome fresh energy (chi) can help bring positivity and abundance.
To get you started, we listed 30 tips you can do to help welcome good fortune as the new year 2025 approaches:
1. A cluttered space blocks positive energy flow. Declutter every room by removing or donating unused and unwanted items.
2. Throw away broken items to make room for more fresh energy.
3. Remove stagnant energy by deep cleaning your house.
4. Leaks represent lost wealth, so ensure all faucets and pipes are in good condition.
5. Clean your windows to allow light and positive energy to enter your home.
6. Hang windchimes near windows or doorways to attract positive energy.
7. Your home’s entrance symbolizes the "mouth,” so keep it welcoming and well-lit.
8. Remove any clutter or obstructions blocking your house’s entrance and other pathways to your house.
9. Cleanse your space of negative energy by burning sage or incense, especially on New Year’s Eve.
10. Keep your garden well-maintained to bring positive energy to your home.
11. A small fountain or pond in your backyard or garden can enhance the flow of chi to your house.
12. Keep indoor plants healthy to bring growth and vitality to your home. Avoid plastic or dying plants.
13. To promote a smooth flow of energy, arrange your furniture where it doesn't promote obstruction. Your bed, desk, and stove are in positions where you can see a door nearby.
14. Sharp corners in your house can create "sha chi" (negative energy). Soften them with plants, artwork, or rounded furniture.
