Evaluate Your Home’s Feng Shui

Did you know that the words feng shui actually mean wind and water, respectively? To the Chinese, this is all about the environment’s effects on the lives of human beings. They believe that energies exist in the environment, water, landscapes, mountains, etc. All these natural forces can significantly impact every person.

 

Since this is so, people should be in the best location to become recipients of the best energies that are meant to improve their health and wealth. On the other hand, people who find themselves in the midst of bad energy are believed to encounter bad luck.

 

Feng Shui, therefore, is the Placement Art since knowing its rules will help people create an environment that’s geared towards prosperity and health. This is an age-old technique has been among the Chinese people and they have used it to optimize the harmony in their homes and work spaces.

 

You, too, can create a harmonious and healthy environment if you apply this knowledge. You can use Feng Shui to –

 

• Pick a prosperous area where you could build your house.
• Choose the best house orientation for maximized prosperity.
• Create an auspicious interior design for the different rooms in your house such as the bedroom, living room, kitchen, home office, etc.
• Place the furniture where they will bring in only the positive energies.
• Pick the lucky colors for every room.

 

A spot Feng Shui analysis involves a thorough inspection of the directions and dimensions of a space. The consultation will then be based on these readings as the birth data of the house’s occupants are taken into consideration.

 

The detailed study of the interiors, physical environment, and the occupants’ data all lead to the Feng Shui consult that will be discussed. A physical inspection of the house must be done to provide the needed information.

 

Check the Outdoors

 

A huge part of the Feng Shui consultation is to begin by studying the outside of a house. If you live too close to, say, a railroad, then there’d be an effect on the energies that will flow towards your house. Houses that have sloped backyards tend to have challenging Feng Shui so an expert is supposed to realign the energies.

 

The outdoors must have a garden no matter how small because it will surely invite good energies.

 

Entryway Feng Shui

 

Improving the front door Feng Shui is easy. Just don’t block the entry with old pots, recycling bins or shoes and you should be fine. Since you’re supposed to channel and welcome good energy, then make sure that there is no staircase that’s directly facing your front door. Make sure also that the front door is not directly aligned to your back door.

 

Remember that the front door serves as the mouth of qi (chi) so this must be given ample attention during Feng Shui consultation.

 

Living Room Feng Shui

 

The living room is a pretty busy area in any home this is why you should have nothing but good energy there. Check the baguas that you place in that room as well as the family room.

 

The bagua or pa kua is a Feng Shui tool that’s known to provide energy for homes, offices, and gardens. This is the energy map of any space which are connected to particular areas in your life.

 

Bagua means eight areas and these correspond to the eight areas of a person’s life namely –

 

• Family and health
• Wealth
• Reputation and fame
• Love
• Children and creativity
• People and blessings
• Career
• Spiritual growth

 

Bedroom Feng Shui

 

This is the most important room of a house so be sure to use Feng Shui there.

 

This room must be free from gadgets such as computers, TV and exercise equipment. The air must also freely flow in this space so make sure that there is daylight during the morning.

 

Kitchen Feng Shui

 

This is the heart of your home so the energy here must be one of abundance and wealth.

 

Here are some don’ts for the kitchen –

 

• Don’t place it near the bathroom.
• Don’t place it near a staircase.
• Never place it adjacent to the laundry room.
• Don’t place the kitchen at the very center of your house.
