- Use your kitchen! Whenever I see that a client’s kitchen isn’t regularly used or learn that they don’t cook or eat meals at home, I make a point of stressing the importance, from a Feng Shui perspective, of cooking and using their kitchen. I usually recommend at the very least preparing soup or another nourishing meal at once a week—and, if appropriate, I’ll even offer easy recipe suggestions.2. Keep your kitchen clean and uncluttered. As someone who does a fair amount of cooking, I know that this isn’t always easy. However it’s worth the effort.
– Start with your stove. Clean the burners and oven regularly.
– Clear away existing kitchen clutter. If there’s clutter in the kitchen, someone in the family is probably struggling with the flow of money and/or their health.
- Use the oven and all of your burners.Make sure your burners all work. The burners are related to money and the oven is the wealth generator of your home.
-
Protect Your Back!If your stove is facing a wall, place a mirror on the wall behind the stove. If that’s not possible, place a metal teapot or something with a highly reflective surface on a burner so that it will reflect the area behind you.
Our brains are hardwired for safety and we can subconsciously experience stress if we can’t see who or what is approaching from behind. Even though you may feel positive that you know everyone who might enter from behind, by not honoring this important Feng Shui principle, you’re creating subtle stress, which can block both your financial well-being and your health.
-
Have some open counter space.Store appliances and other items that you don’t use daily. Having open counter space corresponds to your ability to be relaxed and creative in your kitchen.
6. If you haven’t cleaned out kitchen drawers and cabinets in awhile, begin to methodically clean out each drawer and shelf. The chi’ of your kitchen needs space to move around. This also creates an opening for abundance in the area of the Bagua where your kitchen is located.
Toss duplicates, along with broken items, anything you never use or hate using, and tools that have been replaced by better models. Also, recycle excess plastic containers and glass jars unless you use them regularly.
- Store your knives out of sight.Having knives openly displayed on your counter, sets the stage for potential personal and family conflict.8. If your stove is visible from an outside entrance, hang a round leaded crystal somewhere between the door and your stove. When the stove is seen from the entrance there is potential for conflict over money and anything related to the area of the Bagua where it’s located. This is also one of the things that can contribute to weight gain.
- Add a healthy plant to your kitchen to increase your vitality.
