They say that the kitchen is the heart of almost every home. Whether it has a bite to eat or drink, doing homework with children or preparing meals, almost everyone (guests included) gather in the kitchen.
Outside of the bedroom, the kitchen is one of the most important areas of family luck in feng shui way of thought.
For centuries, having enough food was a sign of luxury and financial prosperity, and it still is today
When the energy in the kitchen is robust and beneficial, families are more inclined to want to eat at home, and the family will be happier and enjoy better health and relationships as a result. If a kitchen doesn’t enjoy the beneficial energy, the feng shui luck of the whole family is affected.
The kitchen also affects prosperity and when actively used and in good condition, can attract beneficial monetary luck.
If your kitchen has been stagnant too long, is burdened with clutter, or needs a serious cleaning, by all means, make a point of revitalising it. And by revitalising your kitchen, you’ll energise your relationships, your health, and your wealth.
1. Make cleaning a habit to improve prosperity.
One of the most important things you can do for your kitchen is to keep it clean and organised– and the two areas that need it most are the pantry and the refrigerator. Why? Because this is where food, a symbol of wealth and health, is stored. Chip bags that are almost empty, old jars of old food, spices, and other items bring old chi to your life and invigorated chi means stimulated wealth.
By keeping the fridge and pantry clean and organised regularly, you’ll improve your health by finding foods to prepare nutritious meals quickly, and your wealth will grow because you won’t waste food because you couldn’t find it and clean, fresh foods are a symbol of abundance. Make a point to wipe or organise up spills right then when you see items out of place in the pantry or fridge.
2. Clean before storing uplifts your health and vitality.
The optimum time to clean your refrigerator or pantry is before you store your groceries after shopping. Taking just a few minutes to toss out almost-empty jars and boxes or wiping down shelves will make your refrigerator look clean and organised, and your pantry will be easier to find things in. Make this your habit, and you’ll see meals come together faster and easier and an overall improvement in your health and vitality.
3. Clear off benchtops to stimulate your life
It may sound counter-intuitive, but when you have bench tops that are full with small appliances, stacks of bills, and dishes, loaves of bread or bags of chips, really anything, it doesn’t inspire you and definitely does not inspire you to cook. On the other hand, when you see a kitchen in a model home, with its clear benches and an attractive bowl of fresh fruit or a bright lively potted plant, it just makes you feel like whipping up a batch of cookies doesn’t it? If you want to cook more, cook better, and enjoy your family more, clearing the benches means that the chi will flow in your kitchen– and that will impact your whole life.
