The kitchen is perhaps one of the rooms in your home where we spend the most time. That’s why it’s important to feel good and inspired within that space.
There are, in fact, many Chinese traditions based on cooking and especially on the stove. In this way, the kitchen is precisely a symbol of the way we take care of ourselves, and our resources – like money and food.
The Feng Shui technique is based on ensuring a good flow of good energies to circulate abundantly in the various spaces of our homes.
The objective of applying this type of techniques is precisely to attract good energies, optimize their vibrations and find harmony and balance, reflecting positively in each one’s life.
The better the energy we feel in the kitchen, the better our quality of life will be. And best of all is the fact that applying Feng Shui in the kitchen is accessible to any of us.
To leave your kitchen with the positive energy it deserves, apply the following Feng Shui techniques in the kitchen without fear:
Keep the kitchen well lit and ventilated
Keeping the kitchen ventilated and lit is more important than you might think. Eating meals with a view of the sun, preferably the one most exposed to natural light, can automatically change the way you spend the rest of your day.
If your kitchen is not exposed to much sunlight, choose to maintain good lighting with the use of yellow lamps, to create the most comfortable environment possible. And whenever you have the opportunity, you should ventilate the space – either by opening the windows, opening the doors to circulate the air or even turning on the exhaust fan.
Organize and clean regularly
The kitchen is a sacred environment for Feng Shui. It is precisely in this place that we prepare and store our food.
Take advantage of food scraps such as husks, for example, to create fertilizer for plants or reuse empty plastic bottles to grow herbs and spices, for example.
Still important in relation to the kitchen, is the fact of organizing all your pans, cutlery, glasses and utensils in a clear and clean way.
Pay attention to the way your stove is positioned
In Feng Shui, the best place for the stove to be placed is so that the person who is cooking can have a direct view of the door, but it should not be facing the door because it prevents the passage of direct energy in some way. . The truth is that in Feng Shui, whoever cooks shouldn’t even have his back to the door.
Colors to consider
White is considered an excellent color because of the feeling of purity and cleanliness it conveys, it is also a great color because it is able to reflect light and create a wider environment.
If you don’t have an all-white space, beige is also a Feng Shui option in the kitchen – it brings harmony and stability to your family.
Yellow is a color that promotes socialization, green encourages good digestion, red and orange stimulate appetite, and blue is a color used to reduce hunger.
Use clear bottles
The fact that we see more and more transparent jars with seeds, pasta or rice in Portuguese kitchens is not by chance, it is directly related to the Feng Shui philosophy.
Placing certain foods in transparent jars will create an effect of abundance, that is, unconsciously it will convey a message of prosperity and abundance, but if you do not want to place them on the countertop, you can always choose to install shelves on the walls and leave Everything is very well organized and visible.
