All You Need To Know Regarding Feng Shui -- Find Practical Guide

By: Nathan Knightley

Ancient Oriental way of life is an inspiration to some people and plain superstition to others. There is a lot of interest in the practice of Feng Shui, both in the East and in the West. The guidelines affect each aspect of life for individuals who believe in it. In the last years, the New Age movement was influenced by elements such as wind chimes and crystals.

The core of the philosophy is the energy flow or lack of it. The flow is dictated by how objects are placed in relation to each others and has a positive or negative effect on the environment. Relationships, finance and health are affected by the quality of the energy. Following the rules and recommendations of FengShui, many people arrange the contents of their house. (Some call it Fen Shui or FenShui but its an error)

Different rooms in the home have different requirements and they have to be treated in a different way. There should be only one door for the bedroom and the bed must not be positioned in between the door and the window as this could disturb your sleep. The bed should be constructed from wood and people should sleep at least 45cm above the floor and be facing the door. Pictures of wild animals or water as well as mirrors should be avoided. The windows should be draped by thick curtains and the walls should be painted in green,red or blue shades.

In the kitchen, the cooker and sink should not be adjacent as the proximity of water and fire can lead to conflict. Stoves should be positioned in the south corner, the room must have a wide entrance and microwaves are not recommended. Feng Shui is also applied to living rooms and dining rooms. There must be at least one wall without a window and the walls should be painted in bright colors. Elements that bring luck include mirrors to reflect food on the table, the hanging of family pictures and television sets or hi-fi systems that stand at the west wall.

Even the powder room has guidelines. To make sure there is no negative energy, the door and toilet lid must be kept shut. The room must always be clean and it's bad luck to have plants or pictures. Stairs must be brightly lit as a dark stairway can bring negative energy. Good luck will fall through open stairs and confusion will be brought by a spiral staircase. Entries must also be brightly lit but be painted in soft shades. They must be warm and can be decorated with plants or water features. It's fun to test Feng Shui and see its affects, if any.
