Next, Cris Bevilaqua teaches you how to prepare your home for the arrival of 2023.

Balance Yin-Yang energy

Yin-Yang is about the opposing and complementary energies related to Feng Shui. For Cris Bevilaqua, the feminine energy present in the Yin has the power to move the Yang, the masculine side of her. In order for both to be in balance, the interior designer advocates the use of stones that enhance and protect the feminine side, regardless of gender identity. The primary crystal that performs this balancing is moonstone, but options such as garnet, obsidian, emerald, and jasper also perform this function.

For the specialist, the use of magenta – considered the color of the year by Pantone – and white in the decoration is indicated to reinforce this balance. It is possible, then, use flowers or decorative objects with these shades. In the case of plants, the professional points to species such as peace lily, roses and magenta flower.

Transition to the Year of the Rabbit

The Chinese calendar reminds us that, from January 22nd, the transition to the year of the Rabbit takes place. According to Chinese tradition, this new phase will bring periods of reflection. “It will be time to finally reap the benefits of all the work done in 2022 and make plans for the future,” underlines Cris Bevilaqua.

Feng Shui believes that, at the very beginning of the new year, a protective egregore is formed around the Earth – a spiritual force that represents the beginning of new cycles for all areas of life.

Decorate your home for Christmas

The Christmas tree is set up in different cultures as a symbol of prosperity and love. Within Feng Shui, this tradition goes even further. According to the Chinese technique, this iconic Christmas element bears the representation of the fire element, which has a strong connection with prosperity and the role of accelerating, modifying and transmute spaces.

As they are a spontaneous manifestation of feelings, Christmas lights are essential when thinking about decorating your home during this time. The shapes and colors of the objects we have chosen for the trees have a strong resonance with the home and are very significant within Feng Shui. Therefore, it is important to focus on a palette that conveys the best energies.

“The green details, for example, represent the element of wood, which symbolizes health. The color also provides a connection to nature, bringing more warmth and snuggle up at home and its inhabitants. The red and gold ornaments refer to money, bringing more chances for prosperity. The silver ones allude to the Moon, a satellite that will be of great importance in 2023,” completes Bevilaqua.

organize the house

Before the end of the year, it’s important to clean up the house and remove anything that no longer makes sense to you. Take the opportunity to donate clothes, shoes, furniture or household items. “To start new phases it is important to try to let go. With this attitude it is possible to help others and make room for new things”, explains the interior designer.

Have two guardians at the entrance to the house

Place two stones, such as black tourmaline, between the baseboard and the door frame, one on each side. The crystals will act as two protective guardians. You can still put two flowerpot outside the house (one on each side). The plants will also protect the house and its inhabitants.

Clean the room

Do a little cleaning of the room before bed or first thing in the morning. Put nine amethyst stones in a container, mix with water, drip a few drops of lavender essential oil and spray on the bed, sheets and around around the room. “This blend calms and aids in restful sleep, bringing more health to the resident,” says Cris Bevilaqua.
