Feng Shui is a Chinese art of arranging the environment to best suit the lives of individuals living in it. The primary goal of Feng Shui is to create harmony between nature and people.
If we surround ourselves with beauty,music,kindness,sympathy gentleness etc. and the expressions that describe the sweetness in life,we ennoble ourselves as well as the environment. However, If we surround ourselves with unkindness,symbols of death,contempt and indifference towards life and nature,we will corrupt ourselves as well as our environment.
There are some mistakes that we make in our everyday lives that doesn’t allows the energy to flow freely. Here are those:
1. Overuse of Mirrors:
While mirrors are powerful and stimulate the flow of energy but over stimulating can also have a negative impact. Avoid having too many mirrors around you,be especially careful having mirrors in the bedroom and do not position a mirror facing a bed since that can disturb sleep patterns.
2. Overuse of Color Red:
Red is a color that is very vibrant and creates a lot of energy. Red color if used in adequate amount won’t do harm but if used in large areas could cause harm such as accident or illness.
3. Avoid Dark Spots:
Good Feng Shui design doesn’t allows dark spots to be in the room since they can block chi(energy).You should choose colors in the room according to what they symbolize and represent. Different colors can represent different elements and could have various symbols.
4. Arranging Furniture:
Couches and chairs should be arranged in a way that whoever is sitting on them can easily see the door. According to Feng Shui guidelines, beds should not be right across the door and should have a wall on at least one side for protection.
5. Kitchen and Office:
Kitchen is the center of human nourishing and according to Feng Shui guidelines, kitchen should always be neat and tidy,symbolizing good health and providing clean and clear space to work effectively.
For office, Feng Shui recommends that the desk be arranged in a way that the person sitting on the chair has his/her back toward the wall and the face facing the door so whoever enters the room would be able to see clearly the person in the room. Another thing is that machines or other office equipment should not be placed in the center of the room as they will block the flow of energy. There must be a window in the office so natural light can come in and you will be able to feel more comfortable and relaxed in your office.
