I hope this post inspires you also to make some adjustments in your living space and transform the energy in it which will benefit you in a highly positive way. I am about to explain further why Feng Shui is so useful and why it should be an essential part of every home space, so keep on reading to find out more.

How I Discovered Feng Shui?

I found out about Feng Shui about 6 years ago accidentally, but I believe it came into my life at the perfect moment and when I needed it the most. When I came across Feng Shui practice, I was moving quite often for career reasons. I lived in many different homes - apartments and houses across the Middle East and shared homes with other people for several years in a row. People that I lived with came from different nationalities, countries and backgrounds. It's a common thing unfortunately that not everyone has the same habits and it's not equally as clean and organized, but for me somehow it always happens that I end up living with people that are taking it to the extreme levels when it comes to not taking care of the household. In other words they didn't care about the cleanliness or condition of our living environment at all. The situation at home was often unbearable and the state of the common living areas, such as a living room and the kitchen was so bad that I would prefer not to use that rooms at all and always eat outside in the restaurants, since the kitchen was always messy, very dirty and unusable.

Being at home was very uncomfortable for me and the vibes inside of it weren't pleasant and positive, taking into consideration that place is not being cleaned and taken care of, it's not a surprising fact at all. So, I started to think heavily about a solution to this situation and for me this was already an ongoing issue for a very long time, since I always ended up living with the same profile of the people when it comes to this.

Of course, I already tried and did everything I possibly could to change the condition of the home. I spoke with my flatmates several times, sometimes things would get better for a day or two and then they would go back to their old ways, I realized, you can't change people's habits and their behaviour unless they decide to do that by themselves. I also tried cleaning after everyone, but that wasn't fun at all after a very long day at work which happened to be most of the week and at the end we are all grown ups who should take responsibility for the place that we live in. It doesn't make any sense that one person cleans for everyone else and babysits other adults. Moving out was no option either, since I was working hard on growing my career and the accommodation was usually owned or chosen by the company, so it wasn't basically my personal choice at that time where I was gonna live and with whom. So, everything I could possibly think of to improve my living conditions and state of the home - I tried and it didn't work, so what now?

Basically, at that same time, I started to see Feng Shui everywhere, popping out randomly and out of nowhere on my phone when I would search for something online or just scroll, which was interesting because it caught my eye and I started reading about it. I knew it was no accident and definitely came into my life for some reason. Before that I was really looking for a solution, I was even praying about it, so I do believe this was a sign and the answer from the Universe for my troubles. What I didn't know at that time is that Feng Shui will help me to actually completely change my life and improve it greatly on many levels in the upcoming months.

As I was reading about Feng Shui more and more every day, I was thrilled and fascinated with everything I discovered and I couldn't wait to try it for myself.

I consider myself as a highly spiritual person and spirituality takes a huge part of my everyday living, so I am always on the lookout for an energetic solution to anything that is happening in my life that is not comfortable or pleasant. I meditate regularly and I know how much I benefit from it, so I knew intuitively that Feng Shui must work as well, since it's basically based on energy work, but I had to try it first to convince myself that it really does. And this is how it all started. I  decided to apply and implement Feng Shui in my personal area of the home which happened to be a master bedroom with a bathroom and did almost everything that Feng Shui suggested to create the best possible energy in it. Of course, the size of the space didn't allow me to do apply exactly everything that Feng Shui advised but I did as much as I possibly could; I moved the furniture in the way that creates a better energy flow in the room, I brought plants such as Lucky Bamboo and Jade Plant, I surrounded myself with beauty and gaiety. I was cleaning regularly and doing the sound healing for the space. I chose the colors as per Feng Shui suggestions and those were soft and warm, earthy tones which created grounded, stable and peaceful energy, My personal space became a true sanctuary for me and it was very fast reflected onto my own well-being. My state of mind was way more positive and clear and I also felt more comfortable than ever being at home and wasn't looking to escape anymore. Somehow I made peace with the entire situation thanks to the great energy of my personal space. It wasn't long afterwards since I started to see the real magic of Feng Shui.

'Views from my luxurious apartment in Doha'

A few months after, the biggest change occurred and it was undeniable for me that Feng Shui works. I got promoted at my job - my biggest career achievement so far and I also moved to one of the most luxurious areas of Doha - Qatar. After a few years of struggles and difficulties that I faced at all my previous homes, I finally had my own apartment which was a dream come true for me since the building had everything I could imagine and more; gym, spa, outdoor pool, restaurant, room service and the private beach nearby. I also had the most glorious views overlooking the ocean from my apartment.

Of course, the change didn't occur just because of the Feng Shui. There were a lot of factors that made that happen, but Feng Shui certainly played a certain part and a role in making all of that happen. Ever since then I have been a huge fan of Feng Shui, it's a part of my life, my lifestyle and part of every single home I ever lived in. It did much more for me and created many miracles for me in the upcoming years but that story I will keep for some other blog post.

Until then, I hope I inspired you a bit to try it for yourself and experience the benefits of using Feng Shui.

With Love,

Tanita
