Feng Shui for Halloween!

Halloween Feng Shui Tips from Elaine!

I love Autumn! I love Halloween! It reminds me of what should be the end of steamy summer and an opportunity to wear some cozy clothes. The other thing I love about Autumn are the colors. I’m from the east coast and I grew up with a ‘riot’ of colors this time of year. Today, it’s 90 degrees outside so I really have to use my imagination! But the colors of Autumn are beautiful and vibrant and we can love them and enjoy them and also use them for Feng Shui benefits!!

In Feng Shui the colors of Autumn connect with the earth element, and the area in the home that resonates with earth is near the center of your home. The center of your home is very important to the health and well-being of you and your family, and we always want to make sure that it’s in great shape! What we don’t like to see in the center area are staircases, stoves or bathrooms. These may contribute to negative health issues. If we use the colors of Autumn near the center of our home, it can have a protective effect. A gorgeous bouquet of earth colors on a table near your center space would be ideal!

Here are a few tips for this great time of year.

Hang a wreath of autumn colors on your front door
Add a wind chime near your front entrance to herald in the new season. Spray paint the metal tubes orange or black in honor of Halloween.
Light the pathway to your front door with lights or lanterns.
Place an odd number of pumpkins outside your front entrance. Use three, five or nine pumpkins. They don’t have to be clustered together, just visible on entering your walkway.
Add a colorful Halloween door- mat at your front door.

Happy Halloween and Good Feng Shui!
