Staging your home with Feng Shui in order to sell faster

Staging your home with Feng Shui in order to sell faster

Not everyone is capable of visualizing a home with their own furnishings and customized to their taste. Subconsciously, all those red flags go up and potential buyers might pass up their dream home, because they just weren’t able to visualize a real life in your home.

My cure spilled accidentally / My cure is overflowing

Hey there…

So your cure spilled?

Pets, children, other household members (and even us) might have knocked over our precious salt water cure. Clearly, it’s not ideal, as the whole purpose of the salt water cure is to attract and trap the negative energy present in our homes into a contained space.

What you should do if your salt water cure accidentally got knocked over?

You should wash the area where it spilled thoroughly with latex gloves on if possible. Toss the cure. When tossing the cure, best to place it in a plastic bag, toss your gloves and seal the bag right away. Then put it in the outdoor trash. Afterwards, wash your hands thoroughly.

You can then smudge with open windows and reset intentions. Here is a video that explains how to smudge.

After airing out the room, you can proceed to making a new salt water cure.

Another example of a spillage that can occur if the cure is hyperactive (meaning that it’s probably working hard to remove any the negative energies in your home). Here is an example below:

You proceed the same way as if the cure spilled: wash, toss, air out (smudge if possible) and make a new one.

We are soon to celebrate the Metal Ox year starting on Feb 12, 2021. So if you need to renew your cure or prepare one for the first time, now might be the time to think about buying what you will need!

  • a glass container that you won’t mind throwing away

  • a plastic plate for accidental spills / overflow (better than the cardboard pictured)

  • 6 Chinese coins

  • coarse salt (I like Himalayan salt)

And you’re good to go!

Looking forward to sending my yearly updates in the coming weeks.

Please let me know how things go with your cure!

Many blessings,

Marianne

The most important part of your home to keep clean, according to feng shui

The most important part of your home to keep clean, according to feng shui

Lighting should be adequate so that your porch or front door stands out. It is also important that the house number be very visible from the street or in case you live in an apt, your apartment number should be visible from the hallway. Treat “chi” like a guest who is searching their way to your home.



Why affirmations are better for you than New Year's resolutions

Why affirmations are better for you than New Year's resolutions

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power in it. Begin it now." (Goethe) This has a lot to do with my career and it also reminds me of the importance to follow through, work hard, surmount obstacles and accept any outcomes. It also reminds me of the magic of creation.
