Feng Shui tips for your home
• There should be no shoes or slippers lying around outside the main door of your house. Remove it if you can. Allow that space at the main door to be free and clear.
• There should be no television sets in your bedrooms: If you cannot get rid of that habit then after watching the television, cover it with a plastic table cloth.
• There should be no mirrors opposite your bed or at the side of your bed. Mirrors opposite the bed can attract a third party to the relationship and ill health.
• In your kitchen, ensure that opposite your stove there is no refrigerator, washing machine, washbasin and toilet. The fire and water crash causing family members to have disagreements.
• Try not to allow children to sleep on mattresses on the floor. Yes, this allows young children not to fall off beds but it also causes young children to fall sick frequently.
• For young children, try to have their back to the wall when they write. It is important there should be a solid wall behind a children's writing table. This allows the child to have support so that he can sit there and study longer rather than for only half an hour and then they tend to move about because there is no solid wall behind their back. Adjust your writing table.
• Do not allow children to sleep on double bunk beds even if it means saving space. The child sleeping underneath will not have "fresh chi" and so his health might be weak.
• Your bed should always have a solid wall behind you. This is important if you wish to have a good rest. A solid wall simply means that you can go into deeper sleep and therefore enabling you to have good rest so that when you wake up in the morning, you will feel fresh and well rested.
• There should be no beam on top of your bed. The beam above causes chi to be pressured thus enabling you to have pressures in life.
• Always open your bedroom windows at least once 20 minutes a day to allow fresh chi to come in, we do this so that it allows fresh new chi from outside to come into your bedroom, if not you will be sleeping with stale chi every night.
• Cleaning up clutter help you to relax.
• Widening and cleaning the front path makes coming home more inviting.
• Do not put anything directly in front of your Main Door – neither inside nor outside. The flow of energies into your home or office would be blocked.
• In some places, this is a widespread practice of keeping your dustbin in front or side of your Front Door. It is like keeping the dustbin in front of your mouth.
• Your Nameplate either at your home or office should be placed at a height more than that of the tallest person in your home or office.
• Plants and Deities photos in the bedroom is a no-no.
• The Stove is very important in Feng Shui and it is believed that a Prosperity Deva/Angel resides in the stove of the house. So if any sharp object like knife is left open in the kitchen with the sharp blade facing the stove, it is considered to be showing a knife to the Prosperity Deva/Angel of the house.
• Nothing hanging over the stove.
• The knives and sharp objects should be kept away from the stove. The stove should be kept as clean as possible.
• Do not sit with your back to the door or a window. It results in back-biting and/or back-stabbing as per Feng Shui.
• Changing the vibration of an area involves a 2 step process - Cleansing ~ Cleansing the area ~ Removing the clutter Energizing ~ Energizing the area ~ Adding symbols/cures
• First cleansing the area of old vibrations represented by clutter, the things no longer in use or those that are not needed now. Without this cleansing, putting symbols won’t be so effective.
• Whereas, even just cleansing is sometimes very powerful in changing the vibrations of that area.
• Oiling doors so they didn't squeak reduced irritation.
• Closing your toilet lid made it quieter and seems to stop money from going down the drain.
• Put things away when it not in use. Everything are alive they all need “homes”. By honoring our belongings, we honor our self.
