Never Feng shui this way!

1

1. NEVER put a lot of Feng Shui junk in your house. Make sure it doesn’t looks like a Chinese trinket shop with lots of little toads, dragons, bagua mirrors, charms and Chinese symbols. You’ll find all kinds of information on these useless trinkets. For the most part these are nothing more than new age mysticism and a way for someone to profit on junk.

When Feng Shui is done properly, you should walk in your home or office and never suspect the presence of Feng Shui other than a harmonious feeling of beauty and balance. Your home should be beautifully furnished, simple, and never a hint of ‘Chinese trinketry’.

2. Don't position yourself with your back to the door when you sit at your desk, when socializing, and at night when you sleep.

When you sit with your back to the door or others, you have no power and you do not see what is coming to you in life. When you sit with your back to others at work, it promotes gossip and backbiting. Always face the door or at least be able to see it. This will give you the advantage over others approaching. You will have more energy, be more attentive, and be able to concentrate better. It is also very important for you to sleep so that the back of your head is not against the direction of the door!

3. Don’t clutter the mouth of your house (the front entry) with shoes, backpacks, etc., because this is where prosperity and new opportunities flow into your home.

Your entry way should be unobstructed and clean so that the energy can flow into your home. Keep shoes, backpacks, and anything that would block the energy coming into the home out of sight. Put those things in a closet where they are not seen. By cleaning up your clutter, you are making room for new experiences in your life. By cleaning up the clutter in your office, you are making a way for new experiences and customers in your business. An uncluttered environment is inviting, relaxing, and energizing. Just the process of organizing and decluttering will bring new energy flowing into your home and your workspace.

4. Don't keep the toilet lid up or the bathroom door open.

Only do this is you want to flush away your prosperity and good energy. Toilets are drains that can suck the wealth right out of your life. Keep the lid down and the door to the bathroom closed. This is not the energy you want flowing through your home.

5. Don't keep modern art in your bedroom, especially above your bed, if it has bright bold colors and the look and feeling of violence or loneliness.

Bright, energizing or extremely dark colors do not belong in the bedroom. The bedroom is a place to reenergize and be restful and romantic. Bright colors create a busy atmosphere and do not bring in restful energy. Dark colors create a cave-like energy. The art you have in your home is being constantly infused into your subconscious mind and you will attract exactly what you are constantly seeing. What you hang above your bed is especially important because you are receiving passive energy at night and the image that hangs above your bed is what you are contemplating all night.

6. Don't keep a fountain or picture with water in the bedroom.

Water in the bedroom will drown or wash away the emotions of those who sleep there or cause waves of emotional instability. Fountains are wonderful in areas, which are auspicious because they bring in prosperity. The bedroom is a place for rest and romance. Pictures of waterfalls, oceans, and flowing streams should be placed in other rooms.

7. You don't want to work and live in a place that is dimly lit, has poor ventilation, feels closed in, or has low ceilings.

The words Feng Shui means Wind and Water. It is vital that your wind, your ventilation is fresh and clean. Open your windows. Keep them clean. They are the lungs of your home. People who have dirty windows can attract breathing problems. Low ceilings and bad lighting do not invite the feeling of the fresh energy of nature. Remember, the energy around you has a huge effect on every part of your life!
