Feng shui, simplified, is the ancient Chinese art that aims to improve your life by rearranging your home. Feng shui means wind and water, and for centuries Chinese practitioners have believed that how a building is oriented, what you have in it and where you place those things can change the balance and flow of energy through your house. Below five experts share their tips to a happy home.
DO NOT have more than one pair of shoes near the entryway of your foyer.
DO allow sunlight and fresh air into the bedroom daily.
DO NOT have any electrical elements near your bedside, aside from a light. If it operates by an outlet, move it.
DO have stones that have a Zen feel in a small container on your nightstand to feel a sense of tranquility from nature.
DO NOT place headboard underneath a window or a beam
Avoid using the computer in your bedroom, especially on your bed since that will add fire energy and compromise your sleep quality.
Is there a piece of furniture that you keep bumping into? If so, it is out of the flow. Energy should be able to meander through your home to avoid stagnation.
Take an objective look at the pictures on your wall. Make sure that when you look at each picture, it makes you feel good. Does it evoke good or bad memories, positive or negative meanings? This also applies to photographs around your home. Are they energy enhancers or drainers?
Clutter is stagnant energy and taking up valuable space for new energy. If your love life is stagnant, then clear out stuff from past relationships. If your career is stagnant, clear out your office. If it's your body that's cluttered, then clean out your cupboards, fridge and clothing closet.
Make sure that the front door opens easily, the knob is secure and check that nothing is stored behind stopping it being opened fully.
Place a welcoming picture, mirror or table with a bowl on it on the right as you enter.
Place a small area carpet, any size, inside the front door to define an entrance space.
Try to arrange the seating so that most people can see the entry door from their seat.
Provide a single focal point for the seating group, for example, a picture, sculpture, fireplace.
