Feng Shui Home and Garden Tips -Part I

My goal is to teach you to THINK so you can apply the Feng Shui concepts in your various life situations. As you "play" with me and Feng Shui you will begin to better understand what I am saying, so that you can practice Feng Shui principles in your daily life. For those of you who are interested, my TeleCourses offer a convenient way to better learn, understand and apply the concepts.

Blessings to all of you as you continue on this path. Thanks for joining the Feng Shui journey with me.

My goal is to teach you to THINK so you can apply the Feng Shui concepts in your various life situations.  As you play with me and Feng Shui you will begin to better understand what I am saying, so that you can practice Feng Shui  principles in your daily life.Feng Shui Garden Tips:

  • The entry of your home or office should be open and inviting, trim away foliage that may be blocking the path of Chi.
  • Throw out dead flowers or plants, they have lost their vitality.
  • Never use dried flowers: where possible live is always better than silk.
  • Try to make walkways leading toward your door and all paths of energy curvilinear to invite good energy to flow.
  • Do not have ant thorny bushes or shaped edged accessories any exterior or interior pathway.

Feng Shui Living Room Tips:

  • The living room should be close to the entry because it is usually an expansive space.
  • Good family feelings and friends should circulate in this area.
  • Furniture should be arranged in a square or octagonal shape.
  • Make sure that all visitors, especially your guest of honor can see the front door.
  • Do not have furniture face the fireplace is you want peaceful conversations and a harmonious environment.
  • Furniture should be comfortable and supportive.
  • Where natural light is not readily available, especially in corridors and entry vestibules, make sure they are well illuminated.
  • Avoid sharp pointed buildings, wall corners, furniture or accessories pointed directly at your house, bed or desk. It is reminiscent of a cutting knife edge or a disapproving finger.

Feng Shui Bedroom Tips:

  • Always position your bed, desk, and stove to have a clear view of the door.
  • Never sleep with a beam over your bed or put a shelf over it or your desk. Your world could fall down on you at any moment.
  • Avoid sharp pointed buildings, wall corners, furniture or accessories pointed directly at your house, bed or desk. It is reminiscent of a cutting knife edge or a disapproving finger.
  • Where natural light is not readily available, especially in corridors and entry vestibules, make sure they are well illuminated.
  • Be careful of sharp angles form wall partitions or furniture pointing at you: soften them by hanging crystal balls or a plant in front of them.
  • Heavy beams over where you sleep, work, or spend a lot of time can cause oppression and bad luck: Lift them up with a windchime or Chinese flute.
  • Give your life foundation by placing the headboard of your bed up against a wall.
  • Always keep garbage cans hidden.
  • Stimulate chi with mobiles, scarves, ribbons, or SPINS.
  • This is the most important room of the house, make sure that when selecting a new home, you consider all good Feng Shui aspects.
  • The bedroom is the place to regenerate and regain your strength.
  • Your health could suffer without proper Chi. Your bedroom is the most important!
  • With the entry in close proximity you may feel tired and feel the subconscious lack of privacy.
  • Do not have a mirror reflect the bed.

Feng Shui Dinning Room Tips:

  • A mirror facing your table will double your food, the sign of riches and plenty: perhaps the center piece can be a full bowl of fresh, crystal, paper machete (etc), fruitful fruit!
  • Give the chair of honor (facing the door) to your guest.
  • Avoid sharp pointed buildings, wall corners, furniture or accessories pointed directly at your house, bed or desk. It is reminiscent of a cutting knife edge or a disapproving finger.
  • Where natural light is not readily available, especially in corridors and entry vestibules, make sure they are well illuminated.

  • Your dining room shouldn't be too close to the front door, guests and family will eat and run.
  • Always try to eat facing one of your best directions.

  • The kitchen: nourishing part of house that allows you money access.
  • Money is nurturing & water represents wealth.
  • The kitchen affects digestion & your nervous system.
  • If the kitchen were close to entry, you may be food oriented. Guests often come to eat. Chi and wealth could be washed down the sink.

Feng Shui Entry/Foyer Tips:

  • This is your room of first impressions: what are the symbols, do you feel good? Are your "impressed" with yourself and your life? YOU can easily make changes!
  • After walking into your front door, it should open into an expansive and feel good space, not one that is restrictive in anyway or that faces a mirror, staircase or an open window.
  • Where natural light is not readily available, especially in corridors and entry vestibules, make sure they are well illuminated.
  • Avoid sharp pointed buildings, wall corners, furniture or accessories pointed directly at your house, bed or desk. It is reminiscent of a cutting knife edge or a disapproving finger.
