26 Effective Feng Shui Tips

 

Straighten up your Home and Life

Do your personal finances need improving? could your career, health, or love life use a boost? The answer could be as simple as cleaning up and strategically decorating certain areas of your home.

Don't knock it until you try it! Many people have reported great results in all areas of their lives after getting their house feng shui compliant. The worst that can happen is you have a neater, more pleasing home interior. The best that can happen is, well, the sky's the limit.

It probably helps not to be too much of a skeptic going into it. But even if you are, you will still see results. It's hard not to get at least a little bit excited as you watch the living area of your home straighten up and become more visibly pleasing. That's the magic that makes it work - you have to apply the principles in a way that makes you happy.

The general idea of feng shui is to attract chi, which is a positive energy force, into your house and keep it there. It enters (and exits) through doors, windows, and other openings such as chimneys, vents, and even plumbing. Chi is greatly enhanced by positive feelings from within yourself. It likes clean, organized, and open spaces that flow well from one room to another, and prefers having a good view from any particular point. Chi is also attracted to living things: Plants, pets, and wildlife.

So the first and most important thing you need to do is eliminate clutter. This can be a big project for some of us! But it is critical. Dedicate a Saturday to cleaning your house up and throwing things out. Do not designate a clutter room or closet, as everything that you know about the Chi also knows about - there is no hiding from it. Once the clutter is gone you can move on to strategic decorating and arrangement of furniture.

On the left you have a simple feng shui chart that shows which areas of your life are affected by which areas of your home. This connection is drawn from the Bagua, which is is an octagon-diagram based on a  fundamental philosophical concept in ancient China. Applied by Taoist thought, it was successfully used in everything from martial arts to navigation.

To properly feng shui your house, you need to strategically decorate each area with the correct colors and elements, as shown on the right. You should also use the most effective tools, along with your own creativity - hang a painting of someplace you want to visit in the travel area, pictures of your family in the health area, etc.
