Feng Shui Christmas Decorations Tips for a Healthy, Happy Christmas through Feng Shui

Feng shui is the ancient Chinese art of creating harmony and attracting luck by working with the environment.

By considering a few basic feng shui rules this Christmas, you might also be helping to enhance family relationships, health and happiness.
Decorating the Christmas Tree with Feng Shui

When decorating the Christmas tree, think about colours. If you have chosen a silver tree, add plenty of green too, to balance red decorations. Red is a popular festive colour; it is also a fiery and energetic colour, whereas green will help calm and soothe all the feisty red energy.

When putting up the tree, encourage family and friends to add something of their own as this puts something special of themselves into the festive decorations. This also helps make Christmas more cordial. Making decorating the Christmas Tree a shared experience will help create a special moment increasing the good energies of this festive ritual.
Decorating Rooms for the Holidays Using Feng Shui

When decorating rooms, again colours should be considered. Avoid too much red. Blue is a thoughtful and spiritual colour and like green, it has a calming influence. Purple is associated with power, riches and fortune. White is not recommended for Christmas in Feng Shui as it is a colour of innocence and naivety. Where it is used for angels and snowmen etc. it should be balanced with warmer, more vibrant colours.
Christmas Plants and Decorations and Feng Shui

Ideally, to promote family closeness and harmony, the Christmas tree should be at the centre or towards the left of the main room.

Angels and cherubs are lucky Christmas symbols, bringing peace and goodwill into the home and inspiring good feelings.

Add Christmas plants to the room. Mistletoe is thought to inspire calmness and a peaceful state of mind. This is believed by some to be a magical, healing plant. Holly is a sign of good wishes towards all. The Poinsettia represents love and passion.

Add candles to the table as these create warmth, positive energy and goodwill. You might also include wood in your decorations such as a wreath, to help promote harmonious family gatherings. Other items that represent warmth and fire are: stars, lights, holly and reindeer.

To increase family prosperity in the new year, add Christmas decorations that represent money to the room such as hanging chocolate coins on the Christmas tree or keeping a fresh bowl or basket of fruit on the table. Gold and silver ornaments represent ostentation, money and fame.
