Feng Shui Lavender

Lavender is one of the most used scents in feng shui since it is known to promote good health and happiness. This scent works splendidly in a room designed for relaxation. In addition, the scent can also be used to energize and uplift the mind and spirit. A bedroom, meditation room, spa-like bathroom or office are rooms where you may want to use this scent.

Lavender Scents and Chi Energy

Lavender can raise your personal Chi, which can result in an increase of positive energy. This scent can also achieve the same results for your home. This is especially important if you feel that your overall home environment is not in good chi balance. A chi imbalance can lead to poor health and a decrease in energy. This scent can assist in lifting stagnant chi and ease the symptoms of depression. When your mood is lifted and the balance of chi energy in your body restored, then it flows unblocked.

Yin Energy

Chi energy is made up of both yin (female) and yang (male) energies. The goal of feng shui is to make sure the two energies are balanced. Lavender scents are considered to be yin (female) energy, which are receptive, passive and calming. Yin energy governs the bedroom. Using colors from the yin palette, such as lavender, for your bedroom design maximizes a relaxing environment. Lavender colors and scents are also ideal for spa-like bathrooms and meditation rooms. For true feng shui to really take effect, you need to incorporate furniture design and placement so the chi energy attracted by the lavender can move freely about the room.

For Calmness and Relaxation

The bedroom is an ideal location for using lavender since lavender is also known to promote a better night's sleep. It is a place to unwind and collect your thoughts. The simplest way to use lavender for relaxation is to burn a scented candle in a softly lit room and either meditate or ask your significant other to give you a massage. You can use a lavender eye pillow like those found at Feng Shui Emporium, a candle or essential oil to introduce the scent into the bedroom.
