As you make simple changes, you'll likely notice a big difference in your life.\n \nCreating a balanced space that we call home has a direct influence on our wellbeing.\nIn fact, research published by Psychology Today has shown that our immediate environment impacts not only our happiness and wellbeing but also our social interactions and reasoning ability.\nThat being said, it's no wonder that the practices of feng shui have persisted even nowadays. Let's discuss how you can use feng shui decorating to your advantage to level-up your home. \nBagua Map &amp; Decoration\nIn feng shui, our home can be divided into nine different sectors or Bagua areas. Each of these areas corresponds with a certain energy, element, area of life, shapes, and colors.\nTherefore, dividing our home into these sectors will help us not only choose the right decor but also improve the energy in each specific sector.\nNow, let's walk through how to use this ancient mapping system to decorate the home.\n\nFeng Shui Decorating in the Southeast Sector\nDecor in the Southeast Bagua area can help us attract more abundance and prosperity into our lives, and who doesn't want to do that? Here are some of the best ways to decorate this area...\nRectangular &amp; Vertical\nThis is the area of wealth and it resonates with any decor that is rectangular or placed vertically.\nWood\nIt is the area represented by the element of wood, which means its power can be amplified by using green and wooden tones.\nRich looking and well-kept wooden details, such as decorative tables, boxes, or handmade, carved decor can work great to improve cash flow and invite blessings in your life.\nLuxurious Fabrics\nDetails such as rich, natural fabrics, silk, cotton, or linen can have the same positive effect. This might include pillows, curtains, or furniture fabrics.\nAbundance Plants\nSince this is the area of abundance, choosing exotic, healthy plants such as the Bonsai Tree, Areca Palm, or Dracaena can inspire growth and bring beneficial energy into this area.\nYellow Crystals\nUsing rectangular mirrors and yellow crystals such as Citrine and Tiger’s Eye can help amplify positive energy and aid you in manifesting prosperity. To cure and enhance this area, use a figurine of a rhino.\nCitrine is a powerful attractor that will motivate us to aspire to the blessings we pray for. It will liven up the energy, helping us attract what we desire.\nTiger’s Eye is one of the most potent prosperity stones.
