Energizing Our Homes, Apartment Feng Shui When we move into our home, be it house, apartment or unit, and have an unpleasant experience, the energy generated can become stuck and heavy. We can lighten it to some extent by clearing out all of the clutter- everywhere and thoroughly. Vibrations are important and we can resonate at a level which is in harmony with the natural vibrations of the Earth. The senses also work at a vibrational level, and if we can improve their quality in our homes we will feel the benefit. Often the vibrations which have caused the previous owner to behave in a certain way, or adopt a certain way of life, will have the same effect on us, and we should take note of any problems which have befallen them before moving in. Stress Indicators Leaning trees Cankers on tree trunks Elder trees Illness shortly after moving Uneasy atmosphere Tunneling activity Cold damp rooms Remove the negative energies from your apartment or home. Avoid areas of negativity; that create bad feelings. Introduce items that stimulate your senses, and make you feel welcome when you arrive home. A fresh, welcoming home is a homely home!

These give rise to the Five Elements and their associated color representations, from which arise the whole spectrum of colors. Color is vibration, and we each respond to it on many levels, both consciously and unconsciously.
