When the days get shorter and you start spending more time inside your home, it's the perfect time to use a few Feng Shui tips for Fall to make seasonal changes around the house. Here are a dozen of my favorite Feng Shui tips for the autumn season.
1. To attract new opportunities, replace your doormat in the Fall, and at the beginning of every new season, and add a fresh new one.
2. Make sure your house number is clearly visible from the street, especially at night now that the days are getting shorter, so positive chi can always find you.
3. Things stored in an attic weigh down on you, so Fall is a good time to remove anything that you don’t need or that has negative associations to lift burdens off your shoulders.
4. Pull up dead summer annual flowers and cut back perennials in the garden because they represent stale chi, then replace them with colorful mums or hardy pansies that will give you active chi until the first frost.
5. Display a bowl of fresh fruit or vegetables, like red apples or colorful fall gourds, on your dining room or kitchen table to symbolize that your table will never be empty and you can always afford to feed your family.
6. Clear the cobwebs from your outdoor furniture before you cover it for the winter because accumulated cobwebs symbolize being so wrapped up and stuck that you can’t move forward.
7. Even if the weather outside is chilly, open your windows occasionally during the cooler Fall months to let in some fresh air and fresh chi energy.
8. Remove dead leaves from your gutters and roof since they represent dead chi accumulating on top of your home, and trim back any large limbs that overhang your house.
9. Fall is a good time to rearrange your furniture, even if you only move the sofa a few inches closer to the window or the lamp to a different side of the table, so you can bring new energy into your room.
10. Burn scented candles in your home to change your perspective for a new season; choose vanilla to make a room feel comforting, peppermint to curb your appetite, strawberry to boost energy and make you want to exercise, a floral fragrance to enhance learning, pine to enhance well-being.
11. It’s fun to wear a mask for Halloween, but remove masks from the wall, especially in a bedroom, because they represent hiding or covering up something.
12. Start a new habit this season -- when you change your clocks from daylight savings time back to standard time, also clean your refrigerator and toss expired foods and old spices from your pantry.
