Feng Shui is a practice that focuses on arranging your environment to promote harmony, balance, and positive energy (also known as “Chi” or “Qi”). It is based on the idea that the way objects, furniture, and spaces are arranged can affect your well-being, relationships, and success.
Key Principles of Feng Shui
- The Five Elements
- Wood 🌿 – Growth and vitality (use plants, green/brown colors)
- Fire 🔥 – Passion and energy (candles, red/orange colors)
- Earth 🌍 – Stability and nourishment (ceramics, yellow/tan colors)
- Metal ⚪ – Clarity and precision (metal decor, white/gray colors)
- Water 💧 – Flow and abundance (mirrors, blue/black colors)
- The Bagua Map
- A Feng Shui energy map that divides your space into 9 areas, each linked to aspects of life like wealth, career, love, and health.
- Example: The southeast corner of your home represents wealth—placing a plant or a water feature there can attract prosperity.
- The Command Position
- Important furniture (like your bed, desk, or stove) should be placed diagonally facing the door, never directly in line with it.
- This position helps you feel more in control and secure.
- Decluttering and Energy Flow
- Removing clutter allows positive energy to flow freely.
- A messy space can block opportunities and create stress.
- Yin & Yang Balance
- Yin (soft, passive, dark) and Yang (bright, active, strong) should be balanced for a peaceful atmosphere.
- Example: A bedroom should have more yin (soft lighting, cozy textures), while a workspace should have more yang (bright lighting, structured layout).
