This is the practice of feng shui that has gotten the attention of most people, particularly for use in their homes.
Here are some useful feng shui home tips that you can make use of to make your home filled with that positive "chi".
Your Doorway and Chi
First off, you can start on your doorway. Doors should always remain free and clear of clutter.
With this in mind, you should try to remove any slippers or shoes that may be lying around the doorway.
In feng shui, it is said that "chi" flows with the wind.
With the slippers and shoes at the doorway, the "chi" would bring with it the smell coming from the slippers and shoes into your house and cause sickness.
The "chi" would then go about the home interior trying to find water where it can stay.
In the absence of such bodies of water like water fountains and aquariums, the "chi" would easily be dispersed by the wind.
Of Water Tanks and Fountains
In feng shui, water is said to be a repository of the energy called "chi".
That is why it may be good to have one in the home. But positioning is also important.
A water fountain or fish tank should be positioned in an area that would attract positive "chi".
But a wrong or unfavorable position would also bring in the opposite.
While good fortune awaits, wrong positioning would also bring in misfortune and bad luck.
If you have noticed the latter happening to you after positioning a water fountain of fish tank at a certain area in the home, you may need to shift it to another location.
Chi in the Kitchen
In designing your kitchen at home, make sure that you do not place your refrigerator opposite of your stove.
These appliances can stand for fire and water.
With the two clashing, it may bring family members to experience frequent disagreements at home.
This also goes the same with the stove being opposite with the wash basin or washing machine in your kitchen.
Feng Shui in the Living Room
If you recently have been experiencing considerable pressure at work, your marble table might be a factor that may be causing it, feng shui speaking.
You can either try to work your way through the pressure or you can remove the marble table in your home and exchange it for a wooden one.
In the same way color may also affect some things in feng shui.
For instance having a red sofa set in your living room may bring about work pressure, problems as well as obstacles.
The color red that signifies fire just doesn't work well in some areas of the home.
These are just some of the feng shui home tips that you can apply to make sure that the flow of "chi" in your home remains on the positive side.
