here is a lot that the west has not given us credit for as Nubian beings. But as we come into this new golden age of the golden people, we must ourselves take charge of our own narratives in life, tap back into our ancient practises and rewrite our own beautiful his and her story and our future stories to come.

Based on the principles of balancing energies connected with nature and our internal and external environment, Feng Shui attempts to create a positive flow of force to impact in our prime areas of life where we have developed tension and stressful living in these mortal bodies as God and light beings.
To innerstand the importance of Feng Shui practically, we must first take out some moments in our lives to survey our internal lives and energies then our house or business. This is of utmost importance, for us to better gain an accurate measure of our energies and their flows, good or bad.
In a dwelling place, like the Kitchen and the Bedroom. These spaces are the most important spaces and features of our home. This space is so important that the Chinese even bestow the kitchen stove as being the source of health and prosperity.

The best way of energy flow, would be to create a triangle, that the cooking gas, stove and refrigerator form.
While cooking, you as the cook should not have your back towards the door to avoid any feeling of startling while cooking. If this can’t be helped you could use a reflecting mirror as a great solution where all the other factors are sound.

On entrance, it is advised to place something pleasant—your art, vase and sculpture pieces or a family photograph. This is done to symbolise abundance greeting.
For optimum functionality, there should be a clutter-less area—closets, almirahs and storage furniture. Symbolically clutter means that there are things left undone in your life. Organisation definitely feels like empowerment, and brings a feeling to you of a neat space and serenity to any room in your home, especially your bedroom.
Resting rooms need to be quiet and peaceful with little chaos.
The best sleeping direction would be the one that helps you face the door. When you get up, your feet should be towards to door to help you feel in command and control.
A mirror opposite the door where there is a wall will help circulate energy. Bright lights above the bed are a big ‘no, no’.
