Five Tips to Make Your Home Happier By Samantha Fey

Candles

When you’re at home, light a candle and consciously ask the light of the candle to lead your day, enlighten your path and illumine your home. According to Feng Shui, the color of the candle is important too. If you’re hoping to get a promotion, a raise or a new job, lighting a red candle will help get you noticed. If you’re working on increasing your wealth and general happiness, light an orange candle. Orange symbolizes the sun in Feng Shui and therefore brings in the joy of the rising sun. Placing two candles next to each other increases harmony between two people living together. When you light a candle in your home, say a prayer and ask for the light of this candle to enlighten and lift your energy.

Cluster Quartz

Placing cluster quartz in the main areas of your home - dining room, kitchen, family room - will clean, clear and uplift the energy so that everyone gets along. Cluster quartz are a variety of small quartz clustered together on one base, so it symbolizes everyone rooted in the same base (home) and getting along in a cohesive group (family). Place a clear quartz cluster on your dining room table to create harmonious family gatherings. Place a rose quartz cluster in your family room to bring in loving feelings. Rose quartz clusters in the children’s bedrooms help the kids to get along, share and compromise. Place an amethyst cluster in your kitchen to bring in an abundance of joy and happy emotions.
