What is Feng Shui
Feng Shui (pronounced ‘fong shway’) is a Chinese philosophy about harmonious relationship with the earth’s environment and it’s energy lines. This ancient mystical practice is based on the laws of nature.
Its theories allow us to understand why certain things occur and how by influencing the natural energy (called chi) we can attract good health, wealth, loving relationships, exam success, improve career prospects, reduce stress and create harmony and success to name but a few. The same energy, if blocked, can cause disease, disharmony and disruption.
Who uses Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is used by millions of people all over the world in both homes and businesses. Many celebrities and successful businesses, such as, Virgin Airways, Microsoft, House of Fraser, Harvey Nichols and Midlands Bank use the Feng Shui guidelines to improve their business success.
Guidelines for Feng Shui
You do not need to believe in Feng Shui for it to work. Many of its guidelines are pragmatic and make sound common sense and do not require huge sums of money to implement.
Feng Shui guidelines can be used to enhance any area of your personal or professional life, for example, if money is what you want, there are specific corners of your home that you can activate by using enhancers such as lighting, green plants and water. By energizing the parts of your home that represent wealth, the prospect of increasing your income will be considerably improved. Likewise it is also possible to enhance your career opportunities, attract the partner of your dreams, enhance existing relationships, and assist your children in their studies or just to create a harmonious living environment for yourself and your family.
Top 10 Feng Shui Tips
To give you a flavour of what this wonderful ancient technique can do for you, the editorial team here at ewomen.com have put together some of our favourite Feng Shui tips for you to try – enjoy!
1. Placing plants and flowers in the eastern and southeastern sectors of your home will enhance family relationships and wealth prospects. However, do make certain that the plants remain healthy and throw away any that are dead. Dead plants create Shar Chi and create bad luck. Plants with thorns or prickles, such as, cacti, should be avoided.
2. Pink bed sheets raise subtle yang energy, which heightens the feelings of love and passion for those seeking conjugal bliss in the bedroom.
3. Do not allow children to sleep on double bunk beds. The child sleeping underneath will not have ‘fresh chi’ so his health may suffer If this cannot be avoided then put a metal 6 rod hollow wind chime to break up the stale chi around his bed.
4. Place a fishbowl in the northern sector of your home or room but avoid going overboard and introducing a large tank in a small area, too much water can drown your prospects. Keep small guppies or goldfish but avoid predator fish and angel fish, whose angled bodies deflect benign chi. The water must be kept clean at all times.
5. There should be no mirrors opposite your bed or at the side of your bed. Mirrors opposite the bed attract the third party to the relationship – you have been warned!
6. To improve your child’s concentration, make sure your child is not sitting with his/her back against the door, if this is the only position make sure you place a mirror so that he/she can see the door behind them.
7. Natural crystals placed in the south western and northeastern sectors of your home will activate your marriage corners, enhancing romance and understanding.
8. In the kitchen, make sure the cooker is not opposite the refrigerator, washing machine or the sink. This is because the fire and water crash, causing family members to have disagreements
9. Red roses are symbols of romance, in Feng Shui terms. So, place 2 red roses in a southwestern area of your home to attract the partner of your dreams.
10. By installing bright light in your southern sector you will enhance your personal fame and reputation.
