Feng Shui – Windows and Scenic Property Views

It can be said that just like the eyes are the pathway to a person’s soul so are windows and scenic views in the practice and pursuit of Feng Shui.

It can be best said to think of the windows in your home, condo or office as the eyes and ears of your property. Openings that allow you to look out and view the world and its environs both allow for the view out and at same time take in the breadth and width of the vital Qi energy of life. In addition windows also let in most welcome warmth and sunshine of Yang Qi, which we should be more than grateful for.

On the other hand , or side of the fence, if you have a room or set of rooms that have just too much Yin and are dark , dingy or both then take the efforts and costs involved to install an extra window or windows. Failing that you can enlarge any existing windows or even put in a skylight if space and budget allow.

If you find that this is just not possible or practical then you can do your best to introduce other positive influences of Yang. For example you can add mirrors to expand the apparent space. Mirrors can do absolute wonders and in the hand of a competent designer can make the smallest cubbyhole look larger, bright, cheerful and cheery. All this just from a few mirrors. Other remedies in these cases, where you wish to introduce additional Yang are bright colors, lights, crystals, flowers and live (not dried, plastic or artificial) plants. Remember the goals are to introduce and cultivate additional Qi.

Windows help the healthy circulation of fresh, vital air and Qi as well.

Windows should best be relatively tall and wide to provide for the most generous flow of both fresh air and vital Qi. If you find it necessary, for your comfort, preferences or convenience you can simply regulate or control the flow with blinds, drapes, curtains or even shutters. It all depends on your preferences, tastes and budgets of course.

It can be said that where possible have two openings windows in any one room. From a practical point of view this creates cross-ventilation and a more even distribution of natural light. In addition having two windows that open to the outside can also mean a natural refresh of Qi so there is less chances of the vital Qi forces stagnating, being stale or not being refreshed and renewed on a regular, ongoing basis.

With all this open space of your windows, letting in fresh air, sunlight and Qi windows can also serve a protection function. For example if you feel that your neighbors are paying too much attention to you and your activities or even feel that your neighbors are prying on your personal activities then you may not feel comfortable in your own space . You may even become unfriendly and even somewhat hostile to what may be very nice, neighbors who may be both very helpful to you and serve as good friends and people to have enjoyable chats with. In order to maintain your sense of best well being and balance then consider that your privacy is essential to a sense of well being and good health overall. The answer to this situation is very simple; just make sure that your windows coverings, plants and ornaments provide for a basic screen to provide for the privacy level you desire.

In the end it can be best said that windows in a home, abode or office are the very eyes to the soul, good fortune and even health of its occupants, inhabitants and tenants. Feng Shui.
