Everything is Feng Shui. Dining area with mirror

According to Feng Shui, any dwelling has its own individual energy, which can be both good and bad. The main goal of the ancient teaching is to activate the flows of positive energy, turn it for the benefit of people and at the same time resist the negative. Arranging an apartment according to the laws of Feng Shui will help increase its energy potential, reduce or completely neutralize the harmful effects of adverse zones and negative energy. To properly organize your living space, first of all, you need to install Feng Shui zones in the apartment.

Definition of apartment zones

According to the ancient teachings of Feng Shui, everything that happens in the life of every person can be divided into nine main areas. All of them are reflected by the octagon or Bagua grid. Feng Shui uses it as the main tool for assessing and analyzing the energy of any room. This octagon is an energy map divided into nine sectors, each of which corresponds to one of the main aspects of life and a certain zone in the room. Well-being, well-being, success and other areas of human life will depend on how well such zones are equipped.

To designate feng shui zones in an apartment, you will need a compass, a Bagua grid or a simplified version of it - a Lo-shu square (they can be printed on a printer), as well as a plan of the apartment. You can find the exact plan in the documents for your house. If for some reason this is not possible, try to draw it yourself.

First, use a compass to determine where north is in your home. Now mark it on the apartment plan, take the Bagua grid (you can also use the Lo-shu square) and attach it to the plan so that north is aligned with north. Well, then, according to the markup, set all the other zones.

In the absence of a compass, just remember where the sun rises from - it will be east. Mark it on the plan and overlay the Bagua grid on it so that the east is aligned with the east, and then determine all the other zones.

Unfortunately, everything is simple only at first glance. In fact, you may encounter a lot of surprises. For example, your apartment may not be in the form of a regular rectangle, but shapes with missing or protruding corners, so you may simply not have enough of some areas. Or the most important sectors may coincide, for example, with the location of the hallway or toilet. In such situations, Feng Shui apartments can be corrected with the help of special tools and techniques.

So, if any zone in your apartment is simply missing, the missing sector can be restored by hanging a mirror on the wall in this place. Or you can overlay the Bagua grid on the diagram of only the main room and designate, and then activate the zones in it.

If the zone of influence does not correlate well with the functional purpose of the room, this can be corrected by placing talismans, symbols of the elements, lighting, color, etc., corresponding to the sector, in it. For example, if the wealth zone coincided with the bathroom, so that money does not “leak” from you, always closely monitor the health of the plumbing and close the toilet lid. You can place bamboo rugs, a money tree or other indoor plant with round leaves in it. In addition, the bathroom can be hidden behind a large mirror.

Feng Shui apartments - zone activation

By activating a certain area of ​​the apartment, you can influence the corresponding sphere of life. In order for Feng Shui to work in full force, several sectors should be activated at once. This is done by placing certain objects, colors, symbols, etc. in them, which help to strengthen positive energy. All of them are selected individually for each zone.

dragon, bamboo, family photos.

The Feng Shui family zone is responsible for relationships with parents, children and other relatives. To reduce disagreements between loved ones and improve relationships with them, you can place a family photo and objects that you associate with your family in this sector. Wooden things, especially handmade ones, indoor plants, images of forest landscapes and bamboo sticks will also help to activate it.

It is forbidden to place photos of dead and domestic animals, any metal objects, dry flowers, thorny plants, sharp objects, stuffed animals, herbariums in the family sector.

Helper Zone

It is also a zone that is responsible for travel. Its main element is metal. Colors: silver, gold, metallic, white. Talismans: exotic landscapes, photos of parents, metal bell, horseshoe, crystals.

This zone determines the number of people who are selflessly ready to help you. Well-being in it promises the presence of patrons, timely help from relatives, friends and even strangers and authorities.

In order for a mentor or assistant to appear in your life at a difficult moment, increase the lighting in this sector, place in it a photo of your mentors and figurines of guardian deities, for example, Ganesha or Guin.

To ensure good luck in business, put a model of a sailboat, but so that its bow is directed into the room.

Health Zone

Its main element is earth. Colors: orange, terracotta, yellow, beige. Mascots: bamboo, turtle, heron, monkeys, images of cranes against the background of pine trees.

This sector is responsible for general well-being and health. Also, the center of the apartment is considered a spiritual center or a center of good luck. The health zone unites all other zones and affects them, so if it is out of order, other areas of life will also suffer.

It should be well lit, it will unite all the inhabitants of the house, push them to an interesting joint pastime. It is here that it is recommended to place a crystal chandelier with many crystals that will spread positive energy throughout the apartment. The health zone can be activated by clay jars, wooden objects, live houseplants, waterscapes, a crane figurine, an odd number of peaches, green objects, sea pebbles, bamboo sprigs.

In order for your entire home to help you achieve your goals and help you achieve successful self-realization in all areas of your life, you should follow a few simple rules. Feng Shui experts recommend minimizing the negative impact of corners, problematic objects outside windows, and improper layout.

View from the window

An ideal house can only be if you yourself have chosen a site for construction, adapted the project to the rules of Feng Shui and correlated the location of the rooms with the location of the sectors that are “responsible” for certain aspects of life. If you live in an apartment or move into a ready-made cottage, then there will definitely be something that interferes with the harmonious flow of Qi energy or completely destroys it. However, this can and should be dealt with.

The first thing you should pay attention to is the view from the window. If you have a power line under your windows at a distance of up to 15 meters, there are no trees at all, another house is standing almost close, or construction is underway in the foreseeable space, then this negatively affects the energy of your home.

In order to neutralize Sha (evil energy), it is recommended to keep negative-absorbing plants on the windowsill: geranium, basil or cacti (the more unfavorable the situation outside your window, the longer the cactus should have thorns).

In addition, it is advisable to hang a Bagua mirror on each window with the reflective side facing out. They will not allow negative energy to penetrate into your home, respectively, the overall atmosphere of the premises will improve.

The music of the wind will also be a good protector. The best for a window is a Chinese pagoda with 5 or 7 pipes, as well as a bell decorated with feathers. In this case, the material from which your aeolian harp will be made is not so important. The main thing is that you like the sound that this "musical instrument" makes.

Corners, mirrors and wall color

It negatively affects the energy of the house and the abundance of sharp corners. Of course, it is unrealistic to remove them - you can’t remake square and rectangular furniture into a round one, but you can easily neutralize their impact. Hang small crystal balls on chandeliers or floor lamps, and place rounded vases on tables. Thus, you will balance the flows of positive and negative energy, respectively, there will be much more favorable events in your life.

In order not to aggravate the negative, choose the right location for the mirrors. Do not hang them so that they reflect objects with pointed corners. Best of all, when mirrors double the number of useful things - round jewelry boxes, houseplants, dinnerware sets. This not only strengthens Qi, but also increases your well-being and promotes peace of mind.

Feng Shui House: Basic Rules

The color of the walls will also help you stabilize the energy situation. If you have too many sharp corners in a room, and also if your kitchen has an abundance of knives, forks and other pointed objects that you do not put away in drawers, it is best to use yellow wall coverings. They perform several functions at once: visually increase the space, make the room sunny and joyful, calm the nervous system and neutralize the flow of Sha.

Green color will help to balance the energy. However, it is important to remember here that light green and grassy contribute to increased efficiency, give a charge of vivacity, while dark green, bottled and rich emerald, on the contrary, relax. That is, the color that is perfect for the bedroom and for the living room will interfere with the working mood in the office.

layout

In an ideal house, in which everything is adjusted to the principles of Feng Shui, each room should be in its place:

  • In the north, in the career zone, and in the south, in the sector of fame and self-realization, it is best to do an office.
  • In the west, in the zone of children and creativity, the location of a children's room or an art workshop is favorable.
  • In the east, in the family and health sector, it is recommended to arrange living rooms and kitchens.
  • The center of the house is also a great place for a room in which all the household gathers and in which you receive guests (but not for the kitchen).
  • In the northwest, in the zone of assistants and travel, it is advisable to equip rooms for storing equipment, as well as sports and tourist equipment - bicycles, balls, tents, etc., and it is better not to put a washing machine here.
  • In the northeast, in the sector of wisdom and knowledge, they have a library or equip a child with a space where he will do his homework. In addition, this is the most suitable place for a computer.
  • In the southwest is the sector of love and marriage, respectively, this is an ideal area for a bedroom.
  • In the southeast, in the zone of wealth, you can equip an office, a safe, a workplace, but you should not arrange a kitchen and make a fireplace here.

Feng Shui House: Basic Rules

As mentioned above, this is the ideal arrangement of rooms, but in reality it is rarely possible to unquestioningly follow the principles of Feng Shui. In addition, in apartment buildings in the indicated sectors there may be pantries, bathrooms and toilets, hallways. And that is why it makes sense not to rebuild the room, but to activate the zones you need in the places available for this. Often, to achieve a positive effect, it is enough to simply rearrange the furniture.

So, for example, if you do not have a bedroom, then put the sofa on which you sleep in the far right corner of the room. Arrange a workplace (desk, computer) in the middle of the wall opposite from the entrance or in the far left corner of the room, and place the dining table in the center of the left side of the kitchen or living room. This way you will follow the basic rules of Feng Shui without making any special changes to the layout of your home.

clean up
Always keep your home clean. For the unhindered flow of Qi, sharp corners and unfavorable objects outside the window are not so terrible as “deposits” of unnecessary things and dirt under cabinets and beds.

Use talismans
Feng shui talismans, affirmations and items related to the elements to which a particular sector belongs will help you activate the zones.

The practice of Feng Shui is aimed at harmonizing the energies within which a person lives. With the right development of space, you can achieve positive results in all areas of life.

The feng shui of an apartment requires a serious approach. Based on Eastern practice, it is necessary to clearly delimit the zones and place symbolic attributes in them that will concentrate the flows of positive Qi energy in the right place.

Recently, many have become interested in various practices for harmonious home improvement. Using the postulates of the doctrine, it is necessary to clearly delimit the zones of residential premises and correctly arrange the symbols in order to activate positive processes. At the same time, negative flows weaken or are completely neutralized.

Feng Shui is used to activate positive processes.

Feng Shui of an apartment reveals opportunities for its residents, helps to establish family relationships, make good profits, promote career growth and improve health. All this happens without much effort on the part of the person. The main condition is knowledge of the fundamental laws of Taoist practice.

Feng Shui interior design

Arranging Feng Shui apartments, it is necessary to pay attention not only to global issues, but also to smaller ones. There are several basic rules, the observance of which will help control your life.

  • Maintaining cleanliness. The presence of rubbish leads to the closure of favorable flows and stagnant energy - Sha - accumulates in these places.


It is very important to clean your home regularly.

  • Getting rid of unnecessary items of clothing. Only an empty place can attract the appearance of a new one. No need to regret what is no longer useful. If it is a pity to throw away clothes, then you can give them to those in need.


Get rid of unwanted clothes

  • Repair of all non-functioning devices. Not everyone has the opportunity to throw away broken expensive equipment, as can be done with clothes. However, the presence of non-functioning appliances in the house also leads to stagnation. It is necessary to do minor and global repairs of what lends itself to it, and everything else must be disposed of.


Throw away non-working appliances

  • There should not be broken dishes in the house. This tradition is voiced not only in the teachings of Feng Shui. Broken dishes were traditionally considered a bad omen and were disposed of.

Do not store broken dishes at home

  • In order for all zones in the apartment to work for the benefit of the owners, it is necessary to achieve good lighting at any time of the day. During the day they should be illuminated by the sun's rays, and in the evening - from lamps, sconces and lamps. In the dark, stagnant energy is formed that can spoil life in all its manifestations.


All areas of the apartment should be well lit.

  • Cleanliness should be not only in furniture and things. Feng Shui involves frequent repairs. Ceilings and walls should not be dusty, and cracks adversely affect all processes occurring in the apartment.


Regularly carry out repairs in the apartment

  • Energy must circulate throughout the apartment unhindered. That is why there should not be heavy bulky furniture in rooms and corridors. The crowded space will not let the winds of change into the home.


Do not force the apartment with bulky furniture

  • One of the rules for decorating an apartment according to Feng Shui is the correct setting of doors. In rooms, they must open inward, with the exception of the toilet and bathroom.


Interior doors should open inward

  • Nothing should hang from the ceiling in the bed area. In all other places, sharp objects in the upper part of the room should be avoided.
  • The apartment should not have neglected uninhabited places. Rooms in which old rubbish is collected negatively affect the entire space. You can not arrange warehouses of dirty dishes and linen. Only purity can open the way for energy.
  • The abundance of plants and the presence of animals have a beneficial effect on the aura of the room. Many areas of the apartment according to Feng Shui suggest the presence of indoor flowers in pots.


Indoor plants have a beneficial effect on the aura of the room

  • The main rule for the design of housing within the framework of Eastern practices remains the desire of a person to return home. If everyone in the household is cozy and comfortable in the apartment, then everything is done correctly, and the comprehensive Qi energy has begun its work.

To bring positive energy into your home, you need to keep it clean. Dirt and neglected places create negativity and hinder development. External cleanliness is not an indicator of complete well-being. All problems are hidden in hard-to-reach places, so the cleaning of the premises must be comprehensive and global.

To clear your living space, you need to sort out cabinets and chests of drawers. Everything that is no longer wearable must be ruthlessly thrown away. The storage of rubbish does not allow new things to come into life. While the closet is crammed with unnecessary clothes, new clothes will not appear in it.


Get rid of unnecessary junk without regret

The same can be said about non-working appliances, watches and broken dishes. If they are to be repaired, then this must be done without delay. Even one idle clock can slow down time and prevent positive energy from entering your home. Broken dishes should be thrown away immediately, guided by the truth that a broken cup cannot be glued together. Light and heat will not appear if you do not throw out all non-working lighting fixtures and light bulbs.

In order for the Feng Shui of the apartment to be complete, it is necessary to decorate the home with plants. They symbolize prosperity and growth in all spheres of human life. Animals are also welcome guests in the house. Where they live, there can be no bad energy.


Animals keep the good energy in the house

When furnishing your apartment, you must remember that this is a gradual process and you do not have to do everything at once. Fundamental changes may not be beneficial.

Interior design for every room

If the house is large, then it is difficult to equip it, but it is even more difficult to work with a small apartment. It is necessary for everything to find the right place to open each energy zone.

Feng Shui for the bedroom

Particular attention should be paid to the place of rest. There should be nothing superfluous in the bedroom. All unnecessary things must be taken out immediately. At the moment of rest, a person is relaxed and defenseless, so negative energy can overtake him. To avoid this, it is necessary to remove objects related to sports and work from the room, and fill the bedroom with peace and tranquility.

The room should not contain a large amount of furniture, it clutters up the space. Heavy objects should not be placed on the walls of the bedroom, they inspire fear at a subconscious level and deprive you of peace. The door to the room should open inwards.


Feng Shui bedroom organization

The bed should be in the center of the room or diagonally. The door should not be opposite, but it must be seen. The fireplace cannot be at the back. The best place for a bed will be the Love zone.

There should not be things in open places; there are cabinets for this. Everything that lies outside clutters up the space. There should be no electrical appliances in the bedroom, in extreme cases they should be turned off during sleep. In order for love to reign in the rest room, you can’t force it with small items on the shelves. All this distracts people from the true purpose of the bedroom.


There should be no household appliances in the bedroom

feng shui for the living room

A large crystal chandelier can become the centerpiece of the living room. It helps to attract positive energy. The chandelier will give enough light to activate all zones.

The living room does not like sharp corners and objects. When choosing furniture, you should not forget about it. Round tables, soft armchairs, a slide with oval shapes will give the room a residential look. Even plants should not have sharp leaves.


In the arrangement of the living room, try to avoid sharp corners in the furniture.

Electrical appliances have a great influence on the activation of energy in the apartment. They must be placed in the zones of wealth, love, children and career. These sectors most often need enhanced stimulation. The Family Zone in the living room should be equipped with a cozy sofa and decorated with flowers. This will help to achieve harmony in the relationship.

feng shui for the kitchen

The kitchen is the place where the family hearth is located. He must also be given due attention. If the kitchen is located correctly, then the design will not take much time. Enough to arrange the items.


Feng Shui furniture arrangement in the kitchen

  • The hearth or stove is set in the south.
  • The southeast is reserved for the refrigerator.
  • A wooden element must be placed between the ice and the flame.
  • The cleanliness of the two main elements of the kitchen must be maintained at all times.

The rules apply not only to large, but also to small items and utensils. Stitching, cutting tools and spoons must be hidden in cabinets. Electrical appliances tend to stimulate energy, so they must be placed in stagnation zones. Cooking with your back to the door is not allowed. This affects the quality of the food. The light in the room should be placed in such a way that there are no dark corners. There is fire and water in the kitchen, so you need to dilute them with wood. This element in the interior brings energy to balance.


All corners of the kitchen should be well lit.

Feng Shui for the bathroom

Water is very powerful. Her energy can make a person rich or completely ruin. Bathroom and toilet doors should always be tightly closed. Preferably, if they are painted white or shades of blue.

One of the main conditions for installing a bathroom and toilet is the full serviceability of all plumbing. The water flowing from the tap can take away money, fame, health and all other benefits. The doors of these rooms should open outwards.


Bathroom door should open outwards

There are no unimportant and unimportant corners in the apartment. In each of them powerful flows of energy are hidden, which must be activated correctly.

The power of Feng Shui mirrors

In many beliefs, mirrors have magical powers, and Eastern practices have not bypassed them. Feng Shui of an apartment involves their proper placement in order to achieve a positive result and advancement in life. The main point in this is given to what the mirror reflects. According to the canons of Eastern practice, it should not be located in the following places:

  • Opposite outlets. The energy of strength, wealth and happiness leaves through windows and doors.
  • To save love, you need to remove the mirrors from the bedroom. If they are needed there, then the reflection should not depict a bed.
  • So that the housewife does not experience fatigue, the mirror should not be located in the kitchen, opposite the stove.


Feng shui mirror placement

In order for the Feng Shui of the apartment to be observed, you need to know where the mirror surfaces should be placed.

  • If the kitchen table is visible in the reflection, where the whole family gathers, this allows you to attract wealth and prosperity.
  • The mirror hallway will allow you to expand the boundaries of space and, as a result, your own horizons.


Mirrored hallway will expand the horizons

In order not to lose part of your soul, you can not look into a cracked or broken mirror. It must be thrown away immediately, after washing. Practitioners claim that information about the owner is deleted in this way.

Feng Shui loves cleanliness. Mirrors placed correctly, but dirty and dusty, will only bring harm. Washing them will get rid of negative energy. When buying rare copies, you need to be careful. There is a memory in the mirror that can bring trouble to the new owner.


Keep your mirrors clean

Zones in the apartment according to Feng Shui

For a happy and fulfilling life, according to Taoist practice, it is necessary to observe Feng Shui zones in an apartment. Each of them has a different color palette and must contain a special character. This helps to open the flow of positive energies and change the lives of the inhabitants of the home in the right direction. There are several main areas:

  • Wealth;
  • Love and marriage;
  • health;
  • careers;
  • Wisdom and knowledge;
  • Assistants and travel;
  • Families;
  • Children and creativity;
  • Glory.

Division into zones according to Feng Shui

Each area requires attention. If you follow all the advice of practice, you can find yourself in the epicenter of positive energies.

How to distribute Feng Shui zones in an apartment

Anyone who decides to distribute zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui needs to get acquainted with the Bagua grid, which reflects eight aspects of human life. According to Eastern teaching, they are the most important and constitute the circle of interests of everyone.

There is an ancient legend about this. About two thousand years ago, a turtle appeared on the sea coast. On her shell were depicted trigrams corresponding to nine aspects of life. Fu Xi, the great sage, managed to unravel the divine message. This is how people got the Bagua grid. Now, in order to influence your life, you need to purposefully direct your forces to the right part of the room.


Mesh Bagua

In order to correctly find the zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui, you need to find a house plan, a compass and a Bagua grid. A large-scale image will help you quickly navigate the terrain. What should be done?

  • The demarcation process is easier to start from the north. To find it accurately, you need to use a compass.
  • The plan of the apartment should be divided into nine equal parts.
  • If you superimpose the compass readings on the plan, then the career zone will be located exactly to the north. This guide and the Bagua grid will help distribute all the other squares.

Finding zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui is not as difficult as activating their work. This will require a lot of symbolic crystals and even more practical knowledge.

Career Zone

The Feng Shui Career Zone is located in the north. She belongs to the water element, so she prefers colors such as blue and black. The symbolic sign of the sector is a turtle.

To activate this sphere of your life, you need to place wind chimes, the sign of your zodiac constellation, in the zone, and also fill it with bright light. For career growth, a small fountain helps, the acquisition of stability is facilitated by a picture depicting calm water. The Feng Shui Career Zone will receive powerful support from the turtle figurine.

Place wood crafts in the Families sector

So that well-being does not leave the house, it is necessary to ensure that the Feng Shui Family zone will not be framed in metal. It should not contain dry flowers, herbariums, photographs of the deceased, sharp objects and thorny plants. Also in this zone it is not necessary to perpetuate pets. In order to prevent intrigue and gossip, weaving flowers must be removed from the family sector.

Zone of Children and Creativity

In the west is the zone of Children and Creativity according to Feng Shui. The color scheme of the small metal corresponds to white, gold and silver. The activation of the sector depends on the goals, and in connection with them there are several effective ways.

To achieve complete family harmony, it is necessary to decorate the sector with bronze figures of defenders, children's crafts, drawings and photographs. Everything should be light and uncomplicated.

This will attract money to a specific person. You can complete the decoration with a Hotei figurine with a gold ingot in his hands. According to Feng Shui, the Wealth Zone should be filled with light and living energy of plants.

10 simple feng shui rules

Rule #1: There is no place for extra things at home.Do you want to improve the flow of energy in your home, reduce stress and increase your productivity? Do a general cleaning and fix any broken items. Conduct an honest audit of unnecessary things and get rid of them - do not just move them to another place, but get rid of them or give them to those who need them and will be happy to use them. It is useful to get rid of "energy junk" - broken things, abandoned work (for example, an unknitted sweater), things that you have not used for 1 year or a maximum of 2 years, dust collector trinkets and items that cause you unpleasant associations or memories . Thus, you contribute to the influx of energy, and consequently, the arrival of new opportunities.

Rule #2: the entrance to the house must be perfect The entrance to the house is the first impression of the house and apartment. Make it a pleasure to look at the entrance: a perfectly designed entrance area will attract positive energy into your home. The entrance should be well lit, clean and uncluttered. Pay attention to whether the door is clean, whether there is an apartment number on it, whether the lock and doorbell (intercom) are working, whether the rug in front of the door is clean.

Rule #3: mirror in the hallway - next to the door The mirror should not be directly opposite the front door: it can repel the favorable energy entering the house. The best place for a mirror in the hallway is on the same wall as the door or to the side of it so that you can see yourself when you leave the house. One-piece full-length mirrors are preferred, and according to the height of the tallest member of the family.

Rule #4: do not clutter the living room with furniture Arrange the furniture so that the energy moves freely and nothing interferes with communication. For example, do not place a sofa and chairs in the path of the passage. It is advisable to arrange the furniture so that while sitting on a sofa or armchair, keep the door to the room in your field of vision. To make communication comfortable and enjoyable, try to sit diagonally, and not opposite each other.

Rule #5: bed in the bedroom - diagonally from the entrance If your bed is still opposite the door, be sure to move it closer to the corner diagonally from the entrance: this is the place of the greatest accumulation of favorable energy. Avoid positioning the bed with the headboard facing a window, as this is too active an energy that is not compatible with sleep function. There should be no massive hanging objects above the bed and headboard that create a destructive flow of energy directed at you. Check if you are reflected in the mirror and other mirror surfaces when you lie on the bed: such an arrangement of mirrors can take away your strength due to the outflow of energy. If you can’t remove the mirror surfaces, then cover them at least at night, for example, with fabrics: in this way, nothing will prevent you from gaining strength during sleep.

Rule #6: choose a domed headboard The headboard should be solid and have a shape that will not visually separate the spouses. The headboard symbolizes protection - the stronger and larger it is, the more protected and comfortable your sleep will be. Avoid triangular and pointed headboards: they carry too aggressive and active energy, which interferes with the full restoration of strength. The ideal headboard shape is round, domed or rectangular. These harmonious shapes will provide the necessary stability and peace of mind during sleep.

Rule #7: get rid of storage under the bed There should be one large shared mattress on the bed (especially the matrimonial one). Even if you don't have a partner yet, still choose a double bed with one mattress and two pillows. Free space is always filled - this is the law of nature. It is desirable that there is a free and clean space between the bed and the floor, and not a warehouse of things. This does not allow energy to stagnate and provides replenishment of favorable energy during sleep.

Rule #8: no sharp corners Check that the corners of furniture or walls are facing you. Do massive objects hang over you when you are lying or sitting? If yes, then try to either rearrange the furniture, or decorate pointed corners. The effects of feng shui energy are perceived through our senses, and our mind and vision are the strongest channels of perception. The aggressive shape of the corners can cause anxiety, and overhanging objects will cause an oppressive feeling. All this cumulatively creates psychological discomfort and stress.

Rule #9: the kitchen area must be isolated The kitchen, dining area, stove and refrigerator must not be visible from the main entrance. Since ancient times, the stove has been associated with the family hearth, it is a symbol of the well-being and health of the family. The refrigerator as a place to store food also represents the wealth of the family. These important objects must be protected from prying eyes. It is advisable to place the slab diagonally from the entrance. Check if you are standing with your back to the door while cooking. If yes, then such a position will cause you psychological discomfort and affect the quality of the food you cook. If it is not possible to rearrange the slab, then hang a mirror behind the slab so that you can see the incoming, standing at the slab.

Rule #10: do not store broken dishes at home Say goodbye to cracked or broken dishes immediately, even if it is your favorite mug. Drinking and eating from such dishes is considered unfavorable, since a broken object carries destructive energy. In addition, it is unsafe and you can get hurt. Give yourself permission to use your holiday dinner set every day. Let every meal be a celebration that will bring your family together at the table and strengthen family relationships.

According to the teachings of Feng Shui, we can change the space in which we live in order to become happier, stronger, more successful, more successful and richer. However, understanding all the laws of Feng Shui, of which there are many, is a painstaking and troublesome business. Feng Shui masters study and practice for a long time in order to master all the subtleties of this ancient philosophical art.

What should we mere mortals do? Well, for starters, the best advice we can give you is to book a Feng Shui consultation with a real Feng Shui specialist. This will save you the most time. And the result - if the specialist is real - will be appropriate. However, if you have not yet matured to the professional intervention of a Feng Shui specialist in your life, then you can use a few simple techniques on your own.

How to find the right zone of influence in the house?

So, step one. We find on the Internet our main tool - the Bagua map. Print and cut with scissors. We put it in the middle of the house. Everything is almost ready, except for one thing: it is not clear how to orient the map. The north zone should face north.

Therefore, step two. Let's take a compass. A simple compass or a Feng Shui compass is not that important. Do you know which part of the arrow points north? That's right, usually one that is somehow marked or colored in a special way. Did you find north? Rotate the Bagua kata so that the north zone matches the one pointed by the compass. Ready!

On the sides of the Bagua map you can see which zone is located in your house. The map shows what each zone is responsible for.

Step three - determine what you want in life. Love? Wealth? Career advancement? The welfare of the children? Spiritual growth? Decided? Now let's activate the zone.

How to activate the selected zone?

The number one rule of thumb for Feng Shui success is: Before activating any area, please “turn on” the correct energy throughout your home using the laws of Feng Shui. How to do this, you can read here.

I want love.

Zone: Southwest. Feng Shui of love is activated primarily by paired objects and talismans. One of the most famous in Chinese philosophy is mandarin ducks, a symbol of fidelity. Also, since we live in the modern world, we can place in the love zone any symbols that carry the meaning of love for us - photographs and pictures of couples in love, hearts, valentines. Chinese texts recommend the image of peonies. The element of the southwest is the Big Earth. The earth is warmed by fire. Symbols and colors of fire that should activate the zone: red and orange colors, candles. It is appropriate to put candles in pairs. The area should be well lit. Do not place symbols of the element of wood in the love zone, for example, flowers in pots.

I want wealth.

Zone - Southeast. Element - A small tree. The tree is fed by water, so we place a fountain or an aquarium in this area. Place 8 goldfish and one black fish in the aquarium. Install a money tree - live (the name of the plant is a tree-like fat woman) or artificial, with leaves made of stone or Feng Shui talisman coins. Symbols such as a ship, Hotei, Feng Shui coins, a money three-legged toad with a coin in its mouth can be placed in the zone (the coin must be kept loose!). Do not place earth symbols in the wealth zone.

I want career advancement.

Zone - North. Element - Water. According to Feng Shui philosophy, metal stimulates water. Therefore, we activate the career zone with objects related to this element: metal objects, objects of gold and silver color. In the modern world, in the Feng Shui zone, you can place any objects-symbols of prosperity: for example, an image of an expensive mobile phone, cufflinks - everything that means a “successful career” for you. Also, a metal turtle and even a metal car are recommended. Do not place fire symbols in the career zone.

I want the welfare of the children.

Zone - West. Element - Small metal. Metal is activated by the symbols of the Earth element and the symbols of the Fire element are contraindicated for it. Therefore, in this zone it is appropriate to place plants in pots, natural stones. Also in this area place drawings and crafts of children, toys. Do not place antiques or used items in this area. The western zone in the house is ideal for placing a children's room.

I want spiritual growth.

You already have love, wealth and children. What more could you want? Of course, spiritual growth and personal development. Yes, even if there is nothing of this yet, anyway, according to the philosophy of Feng Shui, like any other philosophy, it is spiritual growth that is the main thing in life. As they say, everything else will follow. The zone you need is East. Her element is Big Tree. Wood activates water and suppresses metal. Therefore, place symbols of water in this zone and refrain from everything gold, silver and metal.
