Feng Shui - Hints & Tips
Feng Shui is more than just moving the furniture around. But at the simplest level of applying good feng shui principles, arranging furniture to let the energy flow better round your house and your work space certainly helps.
Remember, for the best results you will need the help of a competent professional, and it takes many years of study and experience to reach the level of true professionalism.
So don’t be too disappointed if your interventions only produce small gains.
Occasionally they will produce spectacular gains as you also stimulate something
you didn’t even know was there -
Similarly, occasionally they will do nothing whatever, because something more powerful and also unknown to you is squishing your efforts.
As well as arranging the furniture these tips can help too:
- Don’t sit or stand with your back to the door.
- Clean up clutter.
- Widening and cleaning the front path (but do NOT move it).
- Putting a large mirror behind the stove so that you wouldn't be surprised when someone
comes up behind you.
- Putting a mirror up at the end of a hallway so it no longer seems like a dead end.
- Making paths between rooms and through rooms wide and easy to use allowing you and
the energy to move around easily.
- Oiling doors so they don't squeak reduces irritation.
- Adding something you love to the view when opening your front door makes coming home
feel more welcoming.
- Closing your toilet lid can make it quieter and stop money from going down the drain.
- Avoid television sets in your bedrooms.
- Avoid mirrors in your bedroom, especially opposite your bed or at the side of your
bed.
- Avoid sleeping under beams.
- The foot of your bed should not be in a direct line with the door into the room, nor should your head be under a window.
