#38: Welcome Angels Into Sacred Space Refined Through Feng Shui Principles

Create sacred space in which to regularly welcome the angels into your life, and further enhance the beauty and spiritual energy vibration of that space by utilizing some of the principles of feng shui, the ancient Chinese art of placement. Feng shui emphasizes the placement of shapes, colors, and symbols in ways to achieve balance, harmony, and pleasing aesthetics.

For an indoor space, organize, clean, and clear the space of clutter. Removed items can be stored in boxes or baskets with lids but out of sight. The space should be clean with a few pieces of furniture to fit the scale of the room, soft textiles, furnishings (pillows, window dressings, oriental carpets, and cushions, for example), and a well-placed plant such as an orchid or a lush dieffenbachia (never plants with spiky, sword-like leaves because they symbolize strife and aggression). Hang a clear crystal by a red string in a window to catch the light, and add angel artwork such as a painting or statue. Let in the light—through the windows or better illumination of lamps, overhead lights, pendulum lights, or sconces. Use flower essences or oils to scent the space. A beautiful piece of stained glass positioned at a window could add interest, but must work with the rest of the objects in the room to increase the energy vibration.

Outside the front door, a melodious wind chime welcomes the angels, and according to feng shui principles, also brings prosperity into your home. Let the room be one in which you feel peaceful upon entering. The vibration in the room must necessarily be high to help you tune into angel energy. Think of this space as holy and blessed. It should make you feel special when you enter it as if you are there to welcome your unseen friends—the angels—who, with you, support your soul’s purpose, reinforce your spiritual intentions, continue helping you to work on self-examination and knowledge, and maintain balance in all you do.
