Your physical mouth takes in food, air, and energy (chi).<\/p>\n<p>If your Mouth of Chi is blocked, cluttered or just plain messy, it can block you from moving forward in life and have a negative effect. If it is bright, well lit, cheery and full of positive energy, your life is more likely to flow in a positive way. Good fortune, blessings and opportunities will be yours.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, when you fill your physical mouth with unhealthy foods, too much food, or bad air, it will block your energy and have a negative effect on your body. In addition, if you don&#8217;t take care of all that is in your mouth (gums, teeth, tongue, et al.), or if your words are peppered with negativity, another type of block will form, your energy and life flow will be compromised and your body will be negatively effected.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to learning about the Mouth of Chi, I confess that I hadn&#8217;t give much thought to the importance of \u2018point of entry,\u2019 nor had I even considered my physical mouth an entry point or boundary between the \u2018inner\u2019 and the \u2018outer.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Now, however, having a different level of awareness, I can\u2019t help but to be mindful and give more thought and meaning to what I put in my mouth and what comes out of it, as well as keeping the entry way to my home well lit and clutter free!<\/p>\n<p>For more (or less) on clutter, lighting, food, Feng Shui and Chi, join Our Lady of Weight Loss\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/30757154492\/\" target=\"_blank\">KICK in the TUSH Club\/FB<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><em>Spread the Word \u2026.
