Feng Shui tips for your home

Post by sunshinez » Fri Mar 03, 2006 5:06 pm

1) There should be no shoes or slippers lying around outside the main door of your house. Remove it if you can. Allow that space at the main door to be free and clear. The chi (energy) rides with the wind and will collect all the smell of those shoes and slippers into your house causing sickness. Ch’i then travels about in your house looking for water to stay but if there are no water fountains or fish tanks, then the Ch’i will be dispersed by wind.

2) There should be no television sets in your bedrooms: If you cannot get rid of that habit then after watching the television cover it with a plastic table cloth. Remember it has to be plastic and not simply cloth.

3) There should be no mirrors opposite your bed or at the side of your bed. Mirrors opposite the bed can attract a third party to the relationship. Therefore, do not place mirrors anywhere you like and especially in your bedroom.

4) Place an indoor water fountain in your home, position in a favourable area to attract whatever you want in your life.

5) If you already have a fish tank in your house, be careful. A fish tank placed correctly can bring about greater fortune, as you will tap on the "Divine Water Dragon's Den". But if you tap wrongly, it can cause you to have lawsuits, bankruptcy, work pressure, troubles and problems. If you noticed any of these after placing the fish tank for approximately four months, shift your fish tank to another location.

6)
In your kitchen, ensure that opposite your stove there is no refrigerator, washing machine, washbasin and toilet. The fire and water crash causing family members to have disagreements.

7) Try not to allow children to sleep on mattresses on the floor. Yes, this allows young children not to fall off beds but it also causes young children to fall sick frequently. The reason is: chi is not able to flow underneath the bed. Ideally, chi should circulate around the mattress where our children sleep to allow them to be healthy.

8) For young children, try to have their back to the wall when they write. It is important there should be a solid wall behind a children's writing table. This allows the child to have support so that he can sit there and study longer rather than for only half an hour and then they tend to move about because there is no solid wall behind their back. Adjust your writing table.

9) Do not allow children to sleep on double bunk beds even if it means saving space. The child sleeping underneath will not have "fresh chi" and so his health might be weak. But if due to space constraints, then monitor your child's health if not add in a metal 6 rods wind chime or a crystal sphere, to break up the "stale chi" around his bed.

10) Your bed should always have a solid wall behind you. This is important if you wish to have a good rest. A solid wall simply means that you can go into deeper sleep and therefore enabling you to have good rest so that when you wake up in the morning, you will feel fresh and well rested. This also allows you to be able to concentrate on your work better.

11) There should be no beam on top of your bed. The beam above causes chi to be pressured thus enabling you to have pressures in life. Therefore, don't place furniture underneath it or alternatively level the beam. But make sure if you choose the latter, it is important that you have enough height for that space.

12) If you have a lot of work pressure, maybe it's the marble table that you have in your dinning room that causes you to have those problems. Remove that marble table and change to a wooden one or alternatively live with that work pressure!

13) If your child usually falls sick in that bedroom: Then either change them to another bedroom or simply hang a six rod metal wind chime as the metal element will break all the earth energies in that room. After hanging, if the wind could not do the job for you then you will have to "chime" it yourself and then watch for the good results.

14) Do not use a red sofa set: The colour red represent the element of fire. And for Feng Shui, some places simply cannot have the colour red in that sector. For example: the wealth area or some other sectors which without a Feng Shui check would be unable to tell you where it is. A red sofa sets gives rise to heavy work pressure, troubles and obstacles.

15) Always open your bedroom windows at least once 20 minutes a day to allow fresh chi to come in, we do this so that it allows fresh new chi from outside to come into your bedroom, if not you will be sleeping with stale chi every night. And if that happens, then how can you expect your life to bring in more good fortune to come to you? So open that window and never mind if dusts comes in! The great good fortune that you can have will far exceeds the time you take to clean off the dust.

ABOUT your windows

Post by waf_1988 » Sat Jan 06, 2007 2:56 am

I suggest not to place your bed straight facing the windows. It can cause you bad dreams or difficulty to fall asleep...^^

Hope it can be a useful addition in the forum

Feng Shui in the home

Hi Sunshinez, You have a lot of knowledge in the home with regards to Feng Shui, and here is just one of the additions to make to your last post. Never put pictures of a female, especially naked, in the bedroom of a married couple, and never have anything reflective in the bedroom.

I tried to follow the No TV rule in our master bedroom but O got shot down by the wife....

As to opening windows - that too is a bit of a problem since most of my family members have allergies....


I try to read to feng shui and apply it to my daily routines but sometimes it seems so hard to compromise...

Great information.  Just recently my writing came to a screeching halt.  I threw all my old furniture away and replaced it will all glass.  Thank goodness my muse started visting me again.

I am a little confused about feng shui but I am trying to learn. My children would have a hissy fit if I tried to take the TV out of their rooms. I read somewhere though that you can cover it when not in use, with cloth to hide it so it doesn't distract you.

This could be quite true! However, I am not sure what we can do about it. We live in an apartment where the stovetop is built into the wall with a fridge below it, and the toilet is directly opposite. It is a small place. My husband and I argue over food 90% of the time...is there a way to block the negative imbalance of fire and water from disrupting our home? I really do not want to move as I do not have the time right now or anytime in the near the future to undergo such a laborious task.
Thanks for your replies!!!

After read some articles, I discoverer that: my partner and myself are type 4 and 9 respectively..Our house is type 9 wich means we are all on eastern group...

Then I followed the description of this web site to identify the areas of my house: http://www.wofs.com/index.php?option=co ... iew&id=498

My front door is faced to North..How can I identify the best flow of energy, the relation between orientation and areas of life (what does south means?) and the best way to organize furniture? Could anyone help me with this?
