Christmas is a spiritual time so it provides a good focus for us to reconnect with our spiritual life, to our family and friends, which is important for our well being. 
But to connect with it we need to follow 6 basic steps for bringing the positive chi in the house. 

1. Avoid excess: Have a good clear out of your home before Christmas.  This allows some space for you not only to receive more gifts but also to welcome in friends, family and opportunities in the life.

So getting rid of your clutter now will help you have a more peaceful holiday season.

2. Decoration and Lighting: "Hang garlands and lights so they swag, 'smile and spread joy and happiness." If you have a fireplace, light it and keep your rooms well lit to help energises occupants. You can add floor lamps and side lamps to complement the surroundings. 

Floor lamps and table lamps brings more yang energy. Floor lamps, especially torchiere lamps, brighten up dark corners. A torchiere floor lamp is an excellent choice since the light shines up to the ceiling and is reflected back into the room. The upward lighting can serve as a cure for overhead beams by negating the inauspicious energy associated with beams.

3. Placing Christmas tree: The tree belongs to the Wood feng shui element, so place it in an area that is either compatible with the wood feng shui element, or benefits from its energy.

Here are the best feng shui areas for your Christmas tree:

* East (Health & Family)
* Southeast (Money and Abundance)
* South (Fame and Reputation)

Try to place the tree in the centre of your home it will fill your entire house with good festive spirit because this is the "Grounding/Balance" area of your home. Choose a yellow or gold tree skirt and a bright yellow star or angel with golden hair at the top of the tree.  

However avoid placing your tree near the front door, known as the "Work/Career Area," because it will drain energy from your career.

4. Bring Real plant: In feng shui, green is the colour of healing. It relieves and diffuses stress and creates a peaceful environment. Vibrant plants are always good feng shui, as they bring the healing essence of nature into ones home. Indoor air-purifying  plants are the best choice, because along with beauty and grace, they also do a great job of purifying the energy, as well as calming the space. 

Decorate with pine or evergreen branches and garland; consider hanging some over your entryway outside to ward off negative energies and invite fortune and luck.

5. Add Fragrance: As human beings, 
we are emotionally impacted by scent.  In fact, our sense of smell is considered the only sense that evokes a purely emotional response.The air you breathe creates the mood you are in.  Fragrances bring positive energy to your surroundings.

Using essential oils daily is excellent feng shui for your home, but see what works best for you. To enhance the Christmas mood, you can choose essential oils of sweet tangerine oil, zesty lemon, warm cinnamon, or spicy clove bud oil.

6. Candles: Candles are 
always excellent feng shui, especially during Christmas season! The fire of the candle purifies and cleanses the energy, while the warmth and soft glow can really soothe ones emotional unbalances and concerns.
