simple shui | don’t be afraid to ring the bell!

in the spirit of ringing in a new year, let’s talk about bells! when it comes to getting your energy and intentions out there + into twenty nineteen’s auspicious current, they know how to bring home a world of good help to you.

a bell is one of the most reliable tools for energetic housekeeping – simply ringing a bell around a room or your house yanks (yangs) energy up and immunizes your space from wonky, unwanted vibes. so, if things feel off but you don’t have time (or the inclination) to smudge, ring a bell around the room + better energy will be yours – bada bing, bada boom!

bells are also used for safety + protection, so keeping one or a strand on the front door is smart shui. the rub here is any unwanted energies “attached” to your guests will be frightened away when they hear the bells ring upon entering your house. but let me make this even simpler – bells on the door or handle announce when someone is coming into your space, so think of it as simple shui security!

i keep bells on our front door because they enliven the whole manifestation process. in shui, we emphasize using the front door to call opportunities our way, right? when we add bells into the mix, they send your energy OUT into the world with every jingle! so, consider this a simple shui power move – set an intention, use the front door to welcome new energy in, and trust the bells are helping hustle it home to you. and if the front door isn’t your jam, keep a bell on your desk + ring it when you’re ready to summon a little somethin’ somethin’ your way!

finally, in shui, the number of doors to windows in a home is believed to affect family dynamics. why? doors represent the voice of parents; windows represent the littles’ and not-so-littles’ voices. and if there are more windows than doors (by a 3:1 ratio), you might notice competing opinions + back-talk coming from your kids. likewise, if the windows are bigger than the doors, the kids could ignore your input or seem rebellious. a quick fix is to hang a set of bells on a door so that when it opens, the ‘door’ is heard by the ‘windows,’ giving your voice the widest range of them all. xo
