Halloween is a fun autumn event that many look forward to. While the season brings scares, the energy it brings into your home will depend on your decorations.
To keep the season from negatively affecting your health, wealth, and general well-being, we created a guide on how to feng shui your home and maintain a positive energy.
1. Color Choices
Oranges and blacks are often associated with Halloween. In Feng Shui, orange is an excellent color choice as it represents the "fire element" and promotes social interaction. Use decorations of this color liberally in rooms where you are likely to hold festive gatherings.
On the other hand, black is synonymous with death and brings up intense emotions. The color black can also consume the energy in a space. As such, use it sparingly. If you have Black decorations, move them to a room you use the least for Halloween.
2. Decorate Your Front Door
When decorating your home for the season, emphasize the decorations on your front door. This is the first thing your guests will see and gives you an easy way to create positive energy. However, do not use dead or dried flowers for decorations; they represent dead energy and create stagnation.
For a more positive vibe, use wreaths with berries and acorns to represent rebirth.
3. Use Pumpkin Lanterns and Tea Lights
One of the most important components of Feng Shui is lighting. Placing your lights in the right place can help ward off ghosts and bring "yang" energy into the home. For the Halloween, use pumpkin-shaped lanterns and tealights.
4. Move Your Mirrors
If there is a mirror facing your bedroom, make sure to have it face away from your bed. In feng shui, the souls are believed to leave the body if directly reflected in a mirror. We recommend moving your mirror to an area you cannot see from the bed.
5. Incorporate Animal Symbols
Lastly, use animal symbols like owls, bats, and ravens in your decorations. Owls should be placed by your front door facing guests and trick-or-treaters. If you're using them indoors, put them in windows peering out.
