Motion is something we forget about… until things get blocked up and boring. Today’s fast feng shui is all about elevating rooms… by making them move!
To the left provides a very beautiful example of adding energy to a room- real potential energy to move life forward- without adding something typical like a fan or a fountain: a rocking piece of furniture! This little rocking horse is a playful and divine way to add motion (you know it moves, you almost want to give it a nudge) without actually adding motion to a room.
Actual rocking chairs are another great way to loosen up stuck energy and add more motion to a still space.

We’ve become accustomed to thinking of furniture as being inanimate… but it does have life force… especially if it moves! Motion is an essential ingredient, even in in a quiet bedroom, to create a dynamic space and unlock its potential.
If you feel a room is languishing in your home, try adding something that rocks, sways or purposefully moves. And, yes, you can always reach for a fountain, but rocking furniture is so subtle and sweet and rare to find these days!
Still is nice. Stuck is not. Keep things moving. See the potential to move them. Bring that energy to your life.
