Feng Shui for the home: location and layout of housing, furniture

Owners of private houses can provide themselves with a decent and happy life, improve family relationships, build a career, earn enough money, and also not complain about their own and their relatives’ health. It's not easy to have a roof over your head or realize the dream of owning your own home. Anyone who builds a country cottage is free to implement the project, taking into account all the rules and requirements of the ancient teachings of Feng Shui.

An example of the correct layout of a house according to Feng Shui

Private builders have much more opportunities to do everything according to ancient canons, unlike apartment owners. Initially, anyone who plans to move to live in the country can choose the right site, design it accordingly, calculate the location of the house according to Feng Shui and make a competent interior layout.

Location of the house

To feel cozy and harmonious in your home, carefully consider its location. Feng Shui tips will help you navigate and start construction in the right place.

The ideal location for building a house would be south or southeast. The sun should constantly shine through the windows. This arrangement allows heat energy to freely enter the house. Your building should blend harmoniously with its surroundings.

House number

Take care of the beauty around your home. If you plan to plant a garden or vegetable garden, choose a rectangular shape for them. It is better to avoid triangles, as they negatively affect the residents of the house. It is advisable that the garden is located behind the building, on a flat surface. Plant trees a little away from the house so that no shadow is created and the sun's energy calmly passes through the windows.

Water will fill the area with good energy. Fountains, a pond, a swimming pool, a stream have a beneficial effect on the financial side of the home owner.

According to Feng Shui, the entrance to a house is the main channel through which energy flows. Take care of the beauty, cleanliness, and serviceability of the main entrance. Place flowerpots with flowers on the sides of the door. Do not place any large objects in front of it, this will overwhelm the occupants of the house.

The location of the door relative to the cardinal direction is very important:

entering in the north will bring stability and tranquility to the owners; It is better to paint it black or blue;
a door in the south will help residents become more sociable and strive for power, but let it be red;
located in the western side will have a beneficial effect on the children in the house; It is better to make it metal, paint it with black, gray or white paint;
on the eastern side, it will help the owners of the house achieve their goals, strive for something new, and boldly go towards their dreams; ideal in the east would be a wooden door in pink, blue or green.

Keeping it clean

The key rule of Feng Shui is cleanliness. It is believed that a house is a reflection of the events that occur in a person’s life. The home is filled with geomagnetic energy. It affects the condition of the owner of the house, his aspirations and character traits. The teaching itself cannot bring good luck or influence the outcome of an important event. Compliance with the rules gives self-confidence and stabilizes the psycho-emotional state.

The presence of unnecessary things affects energy flows. Clutter can distort or completely transform the aura. As a result, a person is affected by negative energy. Stagnation occurs. Progress in business is slowing down. This is due to the presence of obstacles in the energy circulation zones.

To prevent negative influences, it is recommended to get rid of any things that have lost their functional or emotional meaning. Items that do not evoke pleasant memories for the home owner or are not used for their intended purpose are not charged with positive energy. The category of unnecessary things includes old clothes, toys and broken furniture, as well as some household appliances.

To make the task easier, it is recommended to sort all items into 3 boxes. In the first you need to place those things that are definitely not needed. The second contains items that you doubt are necessary. In the third box they leave things that are a pity to get rid of. Mentally, you should constantly ask yourself whether objects bring benefits or positive emotions.

After freeing up the space, you should get rid of dust and debris. It is believed that dirt can also slow down or disrupt the flow of energy. During cleaning, standard methods and tools are used. It is advisable to pay special attention to hard-to-reach places: cracks, far corners, shelves, etc. At the end, it is recommended to sprinkle the carpets and floors with salt, wait 10-15 minutes and take the crystals out of the house. This will help get rid of the negative energy that accumulates below.

In the future, order should be maintained. Before purchasing any item, you should definitely mentally ask yourself what this thing is for and where it can be stored. If in doubt, it is recommended to refuse the purchase.

House number

The number of a house is very important for Feng Shui. After all, even such a small thing will direct positive energy in the right direction. To find out the meaning of the number on the door, add up all the numbers until you get a simple (single digit) number. The vibration of each number is individual:

The unit is influenced by the Sun. This is a good number that brings joy to the home and reveals creativity.
The deuce is under the control of the Moon. Promotes calm, contemplation, self-knowledge, harmony.
Three is ruled by Mars. Symbolizes optimism, communication, dating, reveals talents.
Four is under the influence of Mercury. Promotes work, promotion, communication.
The number five is ruled by Jupiter. Causes emotionality, impulsiveness, and sometimes even outbursts of anger. But it is favorable for scientists.
Venus holds the patronage over the six. A house with this number has a friendly atmosphere, love and understanding reign here. It is favorable for children, guests, and pets.
Seven is ruled by Saturn. This is a difficult number, it brings trials, financial problems, and loneliness to the owners. At the same time, it is favorable for studying.
Eight is under the influence of Uranus. The owners of a house with this number will receive wealth if they work hard.
Nine is ruled by Neptune. Not a very good figure, trouble reigns in the apartment, dreams are not destined to come true, bad habits simply drag the owners into their net.

Home interior

If you come across a negative apartment (house) number, you can cheat a little: choose the number you like and write the desired number on a piece of paper. Place it next to the house number.

Feng Shui sectors and Gua number

The Gua number is determined for each person personally and depends on the year of birth. If you calculate your Gua number, you will be able to understand which areas are worth working on and which are better left alone. Of the eight sectors of Feng Shui, one half is favorable for humans, the other is not. Such knowledge will not only help you create a better life, but will also help you avoid possible troubles.

Calculating the Gua number is not difficult. The main thing is to know the rules of calculations.

First. For women and men born before 2000, the calculation is made using the same system. For girls and boys whose birthday is after 2000, it’s different.

Second. Our lunar calendar does not coincide with the Chinese one. In the latter, the date of the new year varies from January 21 to February 20. A person born before February 20, in order not to make mistakes in calculations, must first check the Chinese calendar. If the date of the new year in the Middle Kingdom is later than the date of its birth, then the initial year will be the previous one - the one before January 1.

Let's give an example. Let's say you were born on January 27, 1986. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the New Year was on February 7th of that year. It turns out that to correctly calculate the Gua number you need to start from 1985.

Calculating the Gua number is simple and clear , but in order for the number to be correct in the end, you need to try to concentrate. If you make a mistake even just a little, you can completely wrongly choose favorable feng shui sectors for yourself. The calculation formulas are as follows:

If a man was born before 2000, you need to add the last two digits of the year of birth. Ultimately, you should get one number, so if you add two digits, add its two digits again. the resulting number from 10.
If we are talking about a woman, do the same, only add the number 5 to the final number.

People who were born in 2000 or later must calculate their Gua number using a different formula.

Girls add not 5, but 6 to the final number.
The boys subtract the final number from 9 . There is one caveat here. The Gua number cannot be zero. Therefore, if a boy was born in 2009 or born in 2022, Gua is defined as 9.

Important points

Gua number 5 does not exist! If this is exactly what you get when counting, then the “male” number will be 2 , and the “female” number will be 8 .
The Gua number divides all people into two groups: eastern and western. Each group has 4 favorable directions, and the same number - no.
1, 3, 4, 9 – numbers of the eastern group. They correspond to certain cardinal directions and mean that east, southeast, north, south are good for people with such Gua numbers .
2, 6, 7 or 8 are numbers from the Western group. West, northwest, southwest, northeast are suitable for people with similar Gua numbers

It turns out that the Feng Shui sectors and Gua numbers are inextricably linked.

Feng Shui house color

The color of the house plays a big role for others. It lifts your spirits, charges you with positivity, and makes you happy.

Each color has a different meaning:

White, beige and soft green shades suit everyone. They are discreet and evoke good emotions;
black color at home will bring aggression, depression, it is better not to use it;
yellow shades will help you better absorb information, study, and restrain uncontrollable emotions;
green - instills calm, harmony in the owner, relieves stress;
orange - will make the residents of the house kinder, more confident, and instill optimism;
red is the color of passion, so weigh how much hot, excited emotions you need;
shades of blue bring satisfaction, inspiration, people of a blue house live in harmony with themselves.

What is Feng Shu

Feng Shui as a movement originated more than five thousand years ago. It developed over many generations, influencing Chinese civilization and its culture. The philosophical base of this movement is very extensive, it includes many ideas based on a set of views taken from the I Ching (Book of Changes) and the Tao Te Ching (Book of the Path and Virtue). If the authorship of the first treatise is unknown, although some historians attribute it to the mythical Fu Xi, then the second was written by Lao Tzu (6-5 centuries BC).

For a long time, knowledge was secret, it was not written down, it was passed on from father to son. Trained masters were respected people, and important decisions were not made without their advice. Only since the founding of schools in the 9th century AD, after they laid out the basic rules on paper, did Feng Shui become a real teaching. However, no one in the world knew about him. The first information about this system in Europe appeared only in 1873, after the publication of the book “Feng Shui or Rudiments of Natural Sciences in China,” written by missionary Ernst Eitel.

The worldwide spread of the movement began from the moment Mao Zedong came to power, who considered this discipline to be contradictory to the new communist ideology. The masters who fled from the Celestial Empire dispersed to different countries, where they continued their practice. Gradually, the philosophy of the direction began to spread among ordinary people. It reached its peak of popularity in the United States at the end of the 20th century, after Thomas Lin Yu significantly simplified the teaching by creating symbolic (isoteric) feng shui.

The new system formed in 1986 was very different from the traditional one, which included complex calculations, formulas, and laws developed over centuries. An American of Chinese origin divided his living space into different zones responsible for love, wealth, success, career, health, etc. In addition to the correct arrangement of furniture and interior items, to activate a certain area, various figurines, amulets, and talismans began to be popularized to improve everyday life and solve life problems.

Unlike simplified teachings, classical Feng Shui is an entire science based on centuries-old observations of nature. Literally translated as wind and water. The main goal is to search for favorable flows of qi energy, which is the basis of all things. In the traditional view, there is no concept of zones. Each house, like a person, is unique, the energy of the home is calculated individually, taking into account time and space, to determine the direction of arrival and accumulation of positive qi energy.

House layout

Before you start building a house, plan everything carefully, following the tips and rules of Feng Shui:

The shape of the house should be square or rectangular; under no circumstances should it be narrow or elongated.
It is advisable to make the roof symmetrical and not sloping.
Designate the porch, the entrance, let it be beautiful and inviting.
Plan the guest room in the north-west, bedrooms, offices - on the north side, place the children's room in the north-east, the master bedroom - in the south or south-west, the best place for the kitchen - in the south-west of the house.
If you are planning to make a staircase, keep in mind that it should not be in the center of the home.
Build your house in such a way as to protect it from the wind, since a building that is blown around will negatively affect the health and life of household members.

Dinner Zone

Following the rules of Feng Shui in the home in the case of the kitchen helps get rid of diseases and strengthen the immune system. The room should be spacious and bright. If you cannot allocate a large space, you can visually expand it with the help of mirrors. It is advisable to place the dining area in the southern room.

It is recommended to avoid having an entrance door near the kitchen. This will cause an increased influx of negative energy. Family members will have a poor appetite, and guests will rush to leave the house after the feast. If redevelopment is not possible, place something bright in the kitchen near the door to shift the accents.

It is undesirable to have a bathroom or toilet nearby. In this case, all financial resources will leave the house. To protect yourself from negative influences, you can hang a transparent crystal on linen threads above the entrance to the kitchen.

Dishes

When choosing the colors of furniture and accessories, it is important not to use opposite natural shades. If the kitchen is located on the south side, blue and red tones should be avoided. In south-eastern and eastern rooms, metallic shades should not be used. The dishes should be beautiful and evoke pleasant associations. Do not use cracked containers.

Doors and windows according to Feng Shui

Windows and doors to the house are of great importance according to Feng Shui, because energy flows circulate through them. Positive qi enters the house, negative sha leaves it.

To get more good energy, follow some rules:

windows must always be clean, free from defects or malfunctions;
health and happiness will be brought to the house by the energy flow that passes through the eastern or southern windows;
The number and size of windows plays an important role. Their number should not be a multiple of ten. You shouldn’t make them too big, otherwise they will release positive energy;
a beautiful view from the window contributes to the health and happiness of the household. If there is a cemetery, a construction site, or too tall buildings outside your window, sha energy will flow into the house, but we don’t need this;
A square or rectangular window shape is considered favorable;
remove excess from the windowsill so that chi energy freely penetrates into the house.

The better the condition of the windows and doors, the more prosperous the family lives.

Door location

Corners, mirrors and wall color

Sharp corners negatively affect energy. If their presence cannot be avoided, exposure should be adjusted. This can be done using round vases or additionally hanging crystal balls on the chandeliers.

Mirrors should be positioned so that they double the positive energy. You can place them near jewelry boxes, fountains, indoor plants, etc.

If there are corners and pointed objects in the room, it is recommended to paint the walls yellow. This partially neutralizes the negative impact. Yellow color gives optimism and visually increases free space.

Furniture design and arrangement according to Feng Shui

According to the advice of Feng Shui, arrange the furniture in the house so that the chi energy circulates freely throughout the room. Each item should fit harmoniously into the room. If it is small, do not place massive furniture. Buy cabinets, chairs, etc. with legs, which will make it possible for positive energy not to stagnate. Leave space between pieces of furniture.

Place a wardrobe, chests of drawers, sofa or chairs with backs along the walls. Niches in which furniture is placed have an adverse effect on energy. Its items should look aesthetically pleasing, without breakages, scratches or other damage. There is no need to place anything in the center of the room, otherwise it will interfere with the free movement of energy flow.

Bathroom and toilet

According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the bathroom is exactly the place where Qi energy finds its way out of the house, so it can be considered unfavorable. In addition, these rooms are visited infrequently and the movement of energy flows here slows down. To remedy the situation, you can equip the bathroom with forced ventilation, which will turn on simultaneously with the lighting.

No additional decorations are required: just keep the bathroom and toilet perfectly clean. By the way, only the necessary hygiene attributes should be stored here: towels, cosmetics, bath accessories. Options with storage rooms under the bathtub or above the toilet are unacceptable.

Mirrors in the interior

In the practice of Feng Shui, mirrors have a special role, because they are conductors of qi energy.

Be sure to place a mirror in the hallway; it cuts through the rooms the flow of energy that penetrated through the front door. Hang small mirrors on the door of the bathroom and toilet, then the energy will not flow away along with the water. Hang mirrors so that they reflect beauty and harmony; point them, for example, at paintings or flowers.

There are places where you cannot hang a mirror so as not to harm the family:

do not place it in front of windows or the front door;
it should not reflect a bed with people;
hang mirrors so that they do not reflect the kitchen work surface or desk, since with this arrangement the household will have more work;
do not hang mirrors opposite each other, this will lead to panic, stress, and uncontrollable behavior.

Mirror in the bedroom

Choose round, square or rectangular mirror shapes. Once a week, wash off the negativity from them and keep them clean. With the help of reflective surfaces, you can not only correctly direct energy, but also correct the entire flow.

Bedroom

One of the main questions when arranging a bedroom is how to place the bed correctly.

Recommendations of Feng Shui philosophy:

the best place for the bed is the farthest corner from the entrance to the room;
the door to the bedroom should be clearly visible from the bed: this will help get rid of anxiety and groundless fears;
the size of the bed should correspond to the size of the room: a huge bed in a small bedroom is inappropriate;
The space above the bed should be free: it is better to hang shelves with books and heavy mirrors somewhere else.

Dishes in the house according to Feng Shui

The shape, color, appearance, and material of the dishes greatly influence the health and well-being of the family. Copper or glass utensils are considered the most positive in Feng Shui, and they are also non-toxic.

To gain strength and vitality, eat from wooden utensils.
Plastic objects carry destructive energy, suppress them, avoid them.
It is also not advisable to use utensils made of steel or aluminum, as they can lead to nervous exhaustion.
If you need comfort, warmth, and stability in your home, choose round dishes.

For ill-wishers or strangers, place square plates.

A compass will help you find luck

Now let's delve into the teachings of Feng Shui and get acquainted with the magical Bagua octagon. This is such a nice regular octagon, in each sector of which there is a trigram. According to Feng Shui, everything that happens in life can be divided into nine aspects of life: wealth, fame, love and marriage; family, health, children and creativity; wisdom and knowledge; career, assistants and travel. All these nine categories, combined together in a specific order, form Bagua. Each part has its own compass direction, its own color, its own element and its own trigram.

You can apply this magical octagon to the plan of your house, apartment, or even a separate room. This way you can determine where each Bagua sector is, what it means and how to activate it to achieve your goals.

To determine this or that zone of your home, you will need the most common compass, a scale plan of your home and a Bagua grid (see table).

If you're ready, pick up a compass. Now you must determine the main parameter of your home from the point of view of Feng Shui - the direction of the front door. This is where you look from the house. Stand facing the front door and wait until the arrow calms down. Let me remind you that the red arrow always points north. Now mentally draw a perpendicular from the center of the compass to your front door. This imaginary line shows the true direction of your front door.

Now you need to draw the apartment plan into nine equal parts and align compass north with north on the plan. Are you oriented to the area? Amazing! Now carefully enter all the compass directions into the plan of your apartment and begin to evaluate the condition of the different zones of your apartment with the tenacious eye of a Feng Shui specialist.

A difficulty you may encounter is the problem of missing corners. After all, our apartments and houses do not always have the shape of regular squares or rectangles. Therefore, when applying the Bagua grid to the house plan, you may find out that one or even several sectors of the Bagua grid are missing. This negatively affects the quality of Feng Shui, but the missing angle can always be compensated, because Feng Shui corrects space not so much by changing the shape of the room, but by symbols.

So, as I already mentioned, each Bagua sector and each zone symbolizes one of the 9 aspects of life. Now you can determine which zone to tackle first in order to realize your most pressing desires.

Wealth Zone

As you can see from the Bagua grid, the zone of wealth is the southeast. If this sector is activated, Feng Shui promises abundance and prosperity. The color of this zone is green and purple, and the element is wood. To activate a tree, water is needed, as it nourishes it. The energy of water in Feng Shui is perhaps the main symbol of money. The most powerful representatives of this element of the elements in Feng Shui are sources of “living” water - waterfalls, fountains and aquariums. It is they, and especially the first two types (an endless variety of which you will find in stores), that are responsible for attracting additional funds and symbolically creating a source of wealth. If you want to use an aquarium for the same purposes, then it is better to choose one that you can keep open - the water hidden under the lid does not have the same force as that which is in direct contact with the air of the room. Make sure that the water in it is always clean, since dirty and stagnant water, instead of abundance, brings financial problems.

You can also activate the wealth zone with the help of talismans. One of them is a model of a sailboat. This is a wonderful talisman that attracts good luck in business. For it to work effectively, it is necessary that the sailboat faces the inside of the house, that is, it “sails” and provides you with uninterrupted cash flows.

Many successful businessmen do not hide the fact that they use Chinese coins to attract monetary luck. These round coins with square holes in the center, depicting hieroglyphs or magical animals can now be purchased at any souvenir store. The easiest way to use them is to tie three coins with a red ribbon so that the hieroglyphs are on top and place them in your wealth sector. And one more piece of advice: do not keep money in unfavorable places, for example in the toilet, otherwise you will constantly lose it in life.

Glory Zone

The fame sector in the south is responsible for success in life, achieving popularity and moving up the social ladder. The zone element is fire and the color is red. The most effective fire talismans are associated with open fire - fireplaces, candles and aroma lamps. For example, to enhance the energy of fire, you can use red candles. Just keep in mind that the energy is activated by the flame, and not by the candles themselves, so don’t be lazy about lighting them at least once a week.

Zone of love and marriage

In the southwest there is a zone of love and marriage. It contains enormous potential that can improve your love, sexual and social relationships with people. Its element is Earth and its color is terracotta. Traditional talismans of the Love zone are, first of all, paired items. They are great at activating romantic luck. It doesn’t matter what kind of pairs they are. A pair of pillows, for example, will work just as well as a pair of candlesticks with candles, and a pair of dolphins will be just as good as a pair of crystal eggs. This could be a photo of you, where you are together and happy, or figures of a boy and a girl kissing. Now, just don’t forget to periodically look at your “love corner”, imagining your dream realized, and your wish will surely come true. It is also desirable to have flowers in the Love zone - real or images. It’s good to hang “wind chimes” here with heart-shaped pendants. Chocolate, chocolate candies and everything connected with them would be appropriate in the Love sector, because these are symbols of romantic relationships.

Children and creativity zone

This zone is located in the west of the Bagua grid. Its element is Metal and its colors are white, metallic, gold and silver.

Everything that has to do with children (yours, others, future and present) is presented here. The happiness of motherhood, caring for the health, development and well-being of children is a very important aspect in the life of every person. This is also a creative zone. If you feel the need to express yourself, then it is important to activate this sector. The traditional talisman for this zone is airy wind chimes. These jingling straws can be purchased at any gift shop. Just be careful: air bells should have full tubes, no sharp corners or sharp design details. Not everyone who makes “wind chimes” knows Feng Shui. Also, by the way, figurines (netsuke) of children are suitable for this zone. They symbolize happiness, heavenly protection and protection for young children.

Zone of assistants, mentors and successful travels

In the Bagua grid this is northwest. The element is metal and the color is white, metallic, gold and silver. This zone affects the owner of the house the most, and is also associated with people who help you on your life path: mentors, colleagues, managers. When properly activated, the sector helps you gain the favor of people important to you, as well as help from the most unexpected sources. This zone is also responsible for travel. Therefore, if you dream of going on a cruise, I advise you to pay special attention to it.

Traditional talismans for this zone are portraits of people and images of those whom you consider to be your earthly and heavenly patrons: figurines or paintings of angels, icons, portraits of true friends, portraits of people famous and authoritative for you.

Career and life path zone

This zone is located in the north. Its element is Water and its colors are black, blue and cyan.

Everything that has to do with your work and career is presented in this sector. Activating it will help you climb the career ladder, get the job you want, change your profession, and increase your earnings. Another interpretation of the northern sector is the path of life. This is why it is very useful to analyze this area. If in your house it ends up in a hallway lit by a dim light bulb housing your school-era bicycle, then most likely you will have difficulty achieving your goals.

The most common traditional talisman for the Career zone is considered to be a turtle - a symbol of heavenly support, protection, wisdom and longevity. She is considered the image of the Universe: her shell is the vault of heaven, and her belly is the earth's surface. It brings money and support from influential people. The more turtles you have in your house, the more luck you have!

To activate the energy of water, the “mistress” of the quarry area, you can turn to the already mentioned fountains, waterfalls and aquariums. Also, the element of water can be represented by a painting or photograph with a landscape of water.

Zone of wisdom and knowledge

In the Bagua grid, this is northeast. The element is earth and the colors are beige and all shades of brown. Helps achieve success in learning and retain acquired knowledge. Activating this zone will help you improve yourself, become wiser, and a sage can have everything, including money, power, and love. Traditional talismans of this zone: crystals and figurines or images of a snake. The latter is a symbol of perpetual motion and renewal of the universe. In the East, she is also a symbol of female beauty. “You are as beautiful as a snake” is a very flattering compliment for a woman. But most often the snake represents wisdom and deep knowledge. This sector can also be activated with the help of a globe, ceramic and porcelain vases and figurines.

Family zone

This zone is in the east. Its element is Wood and its color is green.

Family affairs and relationships of all members of the clan are represented in this sector. If you activate it, you can significantly improve the family climate and even help add to your family. The classic mascot of the zone is the green dragon. He personifies power, wisdom and kindness. An excellent talisman here can be family photographs where each family member looks content and happy.

Health zone

This zone is located in the center of the Bagua grid. Its element is earth and its color is terracotta.

Since this sector is in the center, it comes into contact with all other sectors, connects and unites them. And in fact, if there is no health, then there is no joy from anything.

Classic symbols of health and longevity are peaches. In China, it is believed that these fruits should be given to a sick person as a gift. Cranes are also a favorite symbol of this zone. Especially those depicted against a pine tree background. In the center of the house it is very useful to place all sorts of funny things and humorous pictures, books with cartoons, videotapes with comedies. Laughter is the best medicine. Also, if it is appropriate in your apartment, Feng Shui advises installing a large dining table. He will become a wonderful talisman.

Now think about what you want most. Don't have enough money to buy a new TV? Take on the Wealth sector. Can't cope with the overwhelming amount of work? The Helpers sector is at your service. Are your relationships with the opposite sex not working out? Activate the Love sector. Looking for a job? Pay attention to the Career sector. In general, there are no goals, aspirations and desires that Feng Shui cannot help fulfill. No wonder the wise Chinese have been using the knowledge of Feng Shui for thousands of years!

Houseplants according to Feng Shui

Indoor plants saturate the house with positivity, comfort, vitality, good mood, calm, and take away irritation and dissatisfaction.

Each flower is charged with individual energy, so it affects the residents of the house differently:

The money tree symbolizes wealth, prosperity, financial well-being. It not only preserves, but also increases family income;
ficus neutralizes manifestations of aggression, anger, anger;
myrtle will help preserve family and love. With him you will overcome all the bad things and save your marriage;
the cactus has quite heavy energy, but at the same time restrains the rage and anger of the owners of the house;
the lemon tree reveals creative talents in children, increases activity, and fills the house with vital energy;
calla lilies protect family relationships and protect household members from diseases;
geranium calms nerves, balances emotions, purifies the air.

Money Tree

It should be remembered that you should not place tall plants on the window, as they prevent the penetration of qi energy. Do not place them in the bedroom: they negatively affect family relationships, especially if they are plants with thorns and prickles. It is better to take a fading flower out of the house. Plants located on shelves and cabinets will fill the room with good energy. Surround the plant with love and care - and it will become a talisman.

Household items

It is not recommended to place mirrors opposite the front door and windows. This can lead to the return of positive energy to the external environment. As a result, home owners will be haunted by a feeling of emptiness. It is advisable to look in the mirror only in a good mood, otherwise it will be charged with negative energy.

Large windows should not be located near the work desk or near the seating and eating area. This may make you feel unsafe. To get rid of discomfort, you need to place some large objects on the windowsill. For example, indoor plants are suitable.

House slippers can become a source of negative energy if they are torn or worn out. To prevent destructive influence, it is recommended to either stop using them or regularly purchase new ones.

Paintings and panels

You can decorate your home according to Feng Shui using various wall paintings, drawings on photo wallpapers, reproductions, and photographs. You should choose decorative elements only with positive energy. You should discard the canvas if it causes even the slightest feeling of anxiety. These include abstract drawings. Paintings donated by unpleasant people should not be hung in your home.

In order for the canvases to start working and attract positive energy, they should be activated in a certain area under the auspices of one of the elements. Mountain landscapes are suitable for the northern sector. In the West, it is better to post photos of children, crafts and other derivative works of creativity. The southern zone is suitable for placing items of personal achievements. These can be all kinds of certificates, diplomas and other attributes.

Main taboos

Feng Shui is the teaching of harmonious life. It is used in various fields. Used as a method of preventing physiological and mental diseases. Also, experienced craftsmen can help with building a house, organizing a workplace, arranging the interior, and choosing the most suitable time to open a business. As in every science, there are rules and prohibitions. In order not to be distracted from the topic under consideration, let us dwell in more detail on what should not be done when arranging a one-room apartment according to Feng Shui.

First of all, you should pay attention to your place of residence. You should not buy housing near a busy highway; the constant flow of cars takes away positive energy. If possible, it is better to settle outside the city near a lake or river, or, as a last resort, in a residential area near a park or square. It is also worth taking a closer look at your neighbors.
