Bathroom: The Secret to Keeping your Money from Going Down the
Drain
- by Carole Provenzale
Many people are actually becoming
fearful of where their bathroom is located. While it is true
in Feng Shui that bathrooms are notoriously "bad" from
all the drain energy they produce, there are simple and effective
methods to keep you money from going down the drain.
All bathrooms have several universal
principles to help avoid any negative energy coming your way.
We always ask you to put the seat down (which, admittedly is
not so easy with the little ones or even an uncooperative mate
in the house).

We also ask you to keep the door
closed to keep the energy inside the bathroom. Through the years
I have found this is not always practical; after a shower, without
ventilation, you need to let that steam out. Other homes just
get a musky type smell when the door is kept closed continuously;
you can then open it at certain times to relieve this.
Another "standard"
cure for this area is to add a plant on top of the toilet itself.
It deflects the drain energy as well as adding some much needed
life force to this room. Particular areas of where your bathroom
might be located may be a concern. For example, from the layout
of the bagua if your bathroom is in a Wealth area, we might want
to add some added enhancements while keeping our Intentions in
mind that we will not lose money simply because our bathroom
is located in that area. |

You might want to hang money
coins (you can put these behind a curtain or even a picture if
they are not in scheme with your décor), or even a Red
Envelope (which also symbolizes wealth) with 3 like coins (3
nickels, 3 dimes, 3 quarters) and can also be kept hidden.
Only you (and possibly your partner)
need to know they are there and why they are there. Remember
as with any Feng Shui changes you are making, your intention
behind the cures is every bit as important (if not more) then
the cures you are putting in place.
People used to ask why the Intentions
were so important; thankfully, with the enormous popularity of
"The Secret," ideas, thoughts and actions that haven't
been a secret to Feng Shui Practitioners are finally out to the
public in a big way. People see the reasoning behind it and they
resonate with it. After all, Energy follows Intent (known in
The Secret as the Laws of Attraction). So it makes sense that
it is the very energy you are sending out that will attract back
that which you are seeking.
Worry less about the location
of your bathroom and concentrate more on the positive aspect
of being able to simply turn that energy around to just another
wonderful place in your home. Particularly as bathrooms are now
being designed with some having views, people having Jacuzzi's
to relax in, the use of aromatherapy and soothing music, it's
now a room to renew and refresh, instead of the dreaded "drain"
energy. Enjoy it! |
