The first day of spring is officially Sunday, March 20 and as we count down the days to warmer temps and more opportunities to be outside, we are also preparing for a new season with spring cleaning and decluttering.

Practicing feng shui for Spring is similar to practicing the art of meditation – you get the same relaxing and restoring effect while also refreshing the chi (life) energy in your home and office.  In feng shui, we often hear that the state of our spaces mirrors the state of our minds so finding moments to clear negative energy makes all the difference especially if you’re looking to boost your business ahead of summer.

If you follow me on Facebook, you’ll find that I’ve already shared these tips to boost your business:

• First, let’s start with your desk. It’s where you spend the most time working so you’ll want to make sure it’s free of clutter to bring in new opportunities and clients for success.
• Activate your Southeast (Wealth Sector) for more money by placing money symbols, cleaning out old financial records or even by adding a lush green plant.
• Advance your career by adding a water feature to your office and placing it in the North corner of the space.
• Write intentions for your business and place them in a green envelope with some real money. Place the envelopes with your intentions in the Southeast or Northeast areas of the room as these will activate money sectors this year.

There are many other ways to boost your businesses and finances this spring including these foolproof tips for success:

• Declutter other areas in your space
• Make sure your entryway is not only mess-free by welcoming, bright and inviting for good energy to enter
• Buy plants or fresh springtime flowers for other parts of the office, some can even improve air quality and focus
• Burn a sage stick to clear and purify the air or contact me for a space clearing if you’re overdue for one
• If you can, let fresh air in! Open a door or a window, fresh air can open a space and release unwanted energy that may be stagnant but it also invites the benefits of nature and spring inside for a peaceful moment of zen
• Position your desk in a command position to ensure control and success as you take on meetings and see clients
• Add pops of color to promote joy while working
• Dust away dirt and debris as this represents a clear mind and a form of self therapy
• Add crystals to enhance a space even more as these can be targeted for different purposes including manifesting prosperity

Don’t forget spring is a bright season. Stiff muscles? Don’t forget to get up and stretch! It’s easy to go, go, go but harder to remember when to take a break. Spring is about finding time to pause, take a walk, join a meditation, have a relaxing lunch and practice balance. We can enjoy success that comes from feng shui more when we are our best selves.

Happy Spring,
