practice, it is not a religion. Like yoga, it is unnecessary
to
promo, believe or even know about its spiritual history. Here
are the absolute basics for Feng Shui Beginners, using the art
of placement and design, an idea that came into existence in
China a long time ago.
For Feng Shui Beginners, it is
not important to get into the
details, but they should just stick to the aspects of (Feng Shui
homes and Feng Shui in bedroom...Feng Shui uses a design and
to choose colors, and other decorating elements, be it the
redecoration of a room, a house or even a building.
If you use the traditional Feng
Shui, then the grid is oriented
according to the compass directions. It you are using the
western style Feng Shui, then it is oriented according to the
entrance or the door that is used.
There are certain tips that can
be used when setting up a
house. These tips are as follows: |

Feng Shui Homes:
1. Shoes and slippers should
not be left lying around outside the entrance door of the house.
Let the place in front of your door be free of any clutter. The
chi (energy) that rides with the wind will bring the dirt and
the stink of shoes into the house, which causes sickness. Once
in the house, the chi looks around for water to stay in. If there
is no water fountains or fish tanks, then it will flow away with
the wind.
2. The water fountains or the
fish tanks in the house should be placed in a favorable direction
or area to help your get whatever you want.
3. Fire and water crashing family
problems and disagreement among members. Hence, in the kitchen,
in front of your stove, washing machine, dishwasher or even a
sink/basin should not be placed.
4. Chi should ideally flow around
the mattress where the children sleep. The children should not
be made to sleep on the floor even though it is much more sager,
because then the chi is unable to flow underneath the bed.
5. Do not use a red sofa set:
The color red represent the element of fire. As far as Feng Shui
is considered, some places simply are not suitable for the color
red. 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.
6. If there is a marble table
in the house, then it should be removed as it increases the work
pressure. Instead, a wooden table should be placed in the house.
Feng Shui In Bedroom:
7. Open the windows in the bedroom
or use a good quality air-purifier so that the chi that surrounds
you is fresh at all times.
8. Have several levels of lighting
in the room or use a dimmer switch for the lights, as light is
one of the most important sources of energy.
9 You should choose images wisely
for the room, as they carry a lot of chi. The best option to
use would be to keep images of something you want to achieve.
10. Keep all the bedroom doors,
closet doors, bathroom doors closed at night, as it helps you
to have a healthy relationship as well as helps strengthen your
health.
