Feng Shui isn’t just about decorating one’s home as a replica of a Zen space. Rather it is looking into keeping your home clean, airy, filled with light and free of clutter so that one allows the flow of good energy within the house and thus ensure health and prosperity. Here’s what you should do when it comes to creating a space according to the guidelines laid down.

Sqeaky! No, please.

The front or entry door of your home is the first and last place that one encounters on a daily basis. A squeaky door makes it sound like that of a cry and this could adversely affect one’s well being and mood. The worst thing that one can do is to ignore it. But here is what needs to be done – oil those squeaky hinges so as to stop the ‘crying’ and help with the flow of positive energy right from the very staring point of your home. If there are other doors in the house that need the same treatment, do it.

It’s the front over the back or side

Now that you have taken care of that squeaking front door, it is high time you actually start using it. Some homes have a garage with a door that leads to the house. Most people tend to park their cars and use this side door to enter the house or even the back door. It is time for one to stop this practice. You may ask “why?” and here is the reason. The entry door is representative of how ‘Chi’ or energy enters the house and impacts one life. Using the back door or garage door only limits the good energy and the good opportunities in one’s life. Thus, using your front door will help take care of this dilemma. Opening and closing your front door, even if it is just to collect your mail or to take a walk on a regular basis will help improve this condition.

A Wealthy flow

Wealth is represented by the element water and thus a good feng shui tip would be to place a feng shui fountain somewhere near the entry of one’s house. It can be inside the house or even on the outside. What one needs to keep in mind is that the flow of water should be towards the centre of one’s house as it indicated the flow of wealth into one’s life.

Kitchen tops and dead energy

If there is some space between your kitchen cabinets and the ceiling then you need to do something about it. The empty space is likely to get dusty and the energy will remain stagnant here. Thus, have cabinets built right up to the ceiling or place some green plants (live ones preferred) and some lighting to do away with the dead energy here.

Shut that bathroom door

The bathroom poses the biggest challenge as water continuously flows out from here. Now that you know that water represents wealth, one wouldn’t want to flush away one’s wealth, would you? The water that flows out does come back in and thus the best way to deal with this is by keeping your bathroom door shut and covering your toilet seat as well.

The bed does matter

Your bed is an important piece of furniture and thus according to feng shui, must be placed in a commanding position. Keep in mind that you should face the door while sleeping but not be in line with the door when you are in bed. Thus placing the bed diagonally is a good idea. If this is not possible, try using a freestanding mirror to reflect the image of the door and be visible to you while you sleep.

Cover up that idiot box

If you have a television in the bedroom, you must cover it up when you sleep. This is because the energy from the gadget and as well as its electronic aspect could be disruptive and counterproductive to the calmness and quiet that defines a bedroom.

Eyes that help one see

Clean windows are imperative in this scenario. One doesn’t have to wait until spring approaches to clean the house and its windows. According to feng shui practitioners, windows are like eyes that help see the world. If it is dirty and dusty, visibility is impaired and we will miss out on all the good stuff that is being offered to us by the universe. Thus, it’s time to get dirty and clean up those windows.

Once in a while, one should carry out a space clearing. This can be done by burning some white sage or Palo Santo or even just spraying natural orange oil with water. This is done to clear the house of the old energy and make space for new energy. While carrying out this procedure one should think of positive thoughts about one’s home, life and career.
