Feng Shui for Traveling

Feng Shui While You’re Away: Tip #2

Bring candles. There’s no better way to bring warmth, ambiance and romance into a space than with candles. Lots of nice ones are available in travel sizes. Check out these in small tins from Teavana. Or this Organic Fair Trade one from Amazon.

Just as with choosing mood music, which I wrote about in my earlier post, choose candles based on the mood (or energy) you want to cultivate in your “home away from home”. Scents like lavender, chamomile and cedarwood invoke relaxation. Grapefruit, orange and mint can be uplifting.

Whatever you choose, the cozy glow they offer will make you feel more at ease in the space. And as their scents fill the room with a pleasant aroma, they’ll alleviate any stale air or lingering unpleasantness.

Happy Travels!
