Are you ready for a new beginning in your space and your life? Finn Design’s Feng Shui expert Riitta Ylonen says it’s not too early to prepare for the clean start of spring.

BedroomSoon we’ll see the end of the Winter Yin season and the start of the Spring Yang season. As we are heading to the end of the exhausted winter (yin) energy cycle and approaching the new spring (yang) cycle, which is February 3 this year, it’s very important to clear, clean and remove old energies, Ylonen says. Then you’ll be able to welcome new energy for the start of the Chinese calendar’s Year of the Fire Rooster.

A good spring cleaning is a must in all our spaces and offices. Part of the cleaning should include eliminating items that are broken and can’t be fixed or that you haven’t gotten fixed. Also, it’s time to let go of anything unused or not liked, or things that no longer serve you, including relationships that cannot be mended. Stagnant and/or negative energy, as well as vibrant and positive energy, have an effect on how our lives are going.

Each of us has a personal element(s) and life situations that can be affected, elevated or balanced with the help of Feng Shui. Through consultation, Riitta Ylonen can help you use Feng Shui to enhance your environment and surroundings in your home, office or any space to support your intentions, goals and success for the rest of the year.

It’s never too late to start spring cleaning

110714finnweb23It’s time to start spring cleaning if you haven’t started it already. Finn Design’s Riitta Ylonen is a state licensed interior designer and certified Feng Shui consultant, and she has tips to help you make the most of your space and give yourself a fresh start this season.

In Feng Shui, it’s important to eliminate clutter to give room for new energy to enter. It’s good to start by removing items that no longer serve you. If there is no meaning or use for them, get rid of them. Also, Riitta says, broken items should be fixed or eliminated.

Start from one closet or a cabinet. Clean, reorganize and remove items that gather and hold stagnant energy. From there, it’s good to do a thorough cleaning in the whole room or space. By doing so, the old energy is cleared out, and the new fresh energy has room to step in to invigorate the space to be livelier and more energetic. This kind of thorough spring cleaning will have a direct effect on your well-being.
