Get Help with SAD Using
Feng Shui
According to Pyramid Feng Shui, bringing more yang energy, which is
represented by light, bright colors, activity, nature, sounds, and even
scents that remind you of spring and summer might help you through the
hazy, glooming, darkened skies of autumn and winter.
To add yang energy or to create balance of yin and yang energy – for
your energy and your spaces energy - you can take certain steps to
‘clean and unclog the water’ so everything is flowing freely, and add
enough of the fire element to your spaces so your fire can’t be put out
by the water. Implement some of the following recommendations:
Outdoor Spaces:
1. Spend as much time outdoors as possible, especially at midday.
According to nmha.org, “one study found that an hour’s walk in the
winter sunlight was as effective as two and a half hours under bright
artificial light.”
2. Create a winter garden. Gabriele von Zon, FSII of
www.fengshuiuniversal.com tells us in her article, Feng Shui in a Winter
Garden, “A winter garden restores color and meaning to the landscape. A
winter garden will force you to go outside because it requires changes
and attention. This garden will restore and refresh your energy (chi in
feng shui)….”
3. Set out bright red and yellow feeders - which you can view from
inside - for wildlife, such as birds and squirrels.
4. Add sound and movement outside a window or door, such as a wind
chime, bird feeder, or a brightly colored flag or windsock.
5. Set a small shallow bowl of water or bird bath near the outside of
a door or window. If you live in an area where the water might freeze
overnight, dump out the water at sunset and replenish in the morning.
Indoor Spaces:
1. Arrange your furniture to be closer to windows
2. Turn on your lights and check the wattage
3. Light candles or a fire in the fireplace
4. Open the blinds or curtains, even on an overcast day
5. Get a small pet to care for. A nice pet to introduce to your home
that doesn’t take that much care yet can bring you much joy and song is
a male parakeet. (You can teach male parakeets to ‘talk’).
6. Add splashes of bright color, especially red, through the use of
throws and pillows.
7. Remove all clutter.
