We're talking about chi in your home, right? Chi is energy and life force, and what better way to bring chi and life force into your home than to use a plant. This is a fake plant, but that doesn't matter because this plant is never going to die. It's okay to use plants that aren't real. I'm just going to show you how this area that we worked on before for relationship and bringing color in could be even more energetic just by placing a plant on it. This is literally bringing in life force because the plant is life. The other thing is you could bring in fruit, food. Jason and Michelle have this beautiful stand where they keep their fruit. Again, this is adding color, but it's also adding life force because these come from the earth and from the ground. If you don't have an actual plant, or you don't want them in your space, you could use art that has nature in it. You don't have to be so literal about it. You could have a painting that is a beautiful nature scene, and that's going to bring life force in. You could also have animals that are chi and life force, so to get a fish tank with fish in it is a great way to raise the chi. They're living in that corner. It's another thing that you could do in your wealth corner is to have fish because they're swimming around in the water. Pets are great chi, children are great chi. Obviously, we all have chi, but if we want to increase it outside of ourselves then these are some great ways to do it. Plants, animals, pictures of nature, all of that will increase the chi in your home. A couple other ways to use life force in your home is things that some people might not think of because they don't seem alive, but they are from the earth. That would be stones and crystals. A lot of people have those, and they use them for various reasons. Certain ones are supposed to help you with certain things, parts of your personality, or things that are going on in your life, but just a little collection of stones is going to be bringing life force in because they're from the earth. The other thing is if you have stoneware that's made from clay this is from the earth. An even better thing besides just using this on your table is to put some flowers in it. That's another great way to bring life force in is flowers. You could also get a jar and fill it with sand. That would be very grounding, and that would be bringing some earth and some life force inside. There are lots of things you can do. Feel free to get creative with it, and do what you like.
