Dreamcatcher
While not traditionally associated with Feng Shui, the dreamcatcher has become a popular item for those seeking to enhance positive energies and create a serene atmosphere in their homes. Originally from Native American cultures, dreamcatchers are believed to filter out negative energy and bad dreams and let only the positive ones pass through, promoting a sense of peace and tranquility.
In Feng Shui practices, dreamcatchers are often utilized as symbolic elements to help ward off negative energy and encourage good vibes. The traditional design of dreamcatchers includes a woven net or web with feathers and beads, each element holding significance. The woven web is believed to catch negative energies, while the feathers act as a channel for positive energy to flow through. The circular shape of the dreamcatcher is believed to represent the cycle of life and the interconnectedness of all things.
Hanging one near your bed is common for its protective qualities, helping to ensure restful sleep and warding off negative dreams. Placing them in areas where you seek relaxation or where energy feels stagnant can help rejuvenate the space. Caring for a dreamcatcher is simple—occasionally gently brushing or shaking it helps release any trapped negative energies, keeping it primed to capture good energy.
