Feng Shui is an ancient science that tells how to balance all aspects of our life. Observing the principles of this science, you can achieve success in all areas of your activity. No matter how unrealistic it may seem to a modern person, practice confirms the effectiveness of Feng Shui.
One of the most important aspects of Feng Shui is the correct organization of the space that surrounds us. The location of different zones in relation to parts of the world, the materials from which the objects we use are made, the colors of the wallpaper and interior items - all this has a strong effect on us. In case of an unsuccessful choice, we will experience constant discomfort, get tired quickly and often get sick. Feng Shui can teach how to attract positive energy into your home, because it is she who gives a person vitality.
So, what does a person who wants to change their life need to know about Feng Shui? First of all, we advise you to get acquainted with the Bagua mesh. It is a regular octagon divided into sectors. Each of its nine parts (including the central area) has its own meaning and is responsible for a specific area of life. It is important to take into account that the zones are equal in area, which indicates the need to pay equal attention to all areas of their activities. After all, this is the only way to become a harmoniously developed personality.
So, armed with a Bagua net, and at the same time a compass for determining the cardinal points, you can start working on the furnishings of your home.
How to find the right places for Feng Shui zones in an apartment
The point from which the "countdown" of the zones begins is the part of the apartment located in the north. The space between the north and northwest direction is considered to be the first sector with the most active energy required for successful career growth.
According to Feng Shui, the activation of the apartment zones will help to enhance the circulation of positive energy, which will make it possible to achieve success in various areas. Each zone has its own rules, but there are general recommendations. So, crystals have a beneficial effect: they can be used to decorate walls or interior items.
Of course, it is impossible to bring all zones in exact accordance with the Feng Shui recommendations, especially when it comes to a typical apartment in a multi-storey building, and not a dwelling built according to your own plan. Sometimes, in order to solve the Feng Shui zones of an apartment that have arisen in the process of activation, it makes sense to contact a specialist who will tell you exactly how best to distribute the space. However, applying the most basic advice does not require a global reshuffle.
So, let's find out which zones are responsible for each area of life and how to activate them.
Career
The quarry zone is in the north. It is best to arrange it in blue and black colors. If this decision seems too gloomy for you, you can get by with small details: paintings on the walls, vases, figurines, etc. The element of this zone is water, so it would be appropriate to put an indoor fountain or an aquarium here. It is also advisable to decorate this area with a turtle image.
If you sometimes work from home, then it is best to place your computer and phone in the career area. Things just reminiscent of work - a souvenir with corporate symbols, a photo of the team, etc. will also have a beneficial effect. This will help you move up the career ladder faster.
Knowledge and Wisdom
The northeastern part of the apartment is a zone of knowledge and wisdom. Here it would be most appropriate to place a library or just put a bookcase. The wisdom zone is the most comfortable for learning or any other mental activity. If you are studying foreign languages, studying history or trying to master new skills, it is best to do it here. Items directly related to the learning process will help to activate this zone. But low-grade entertaining literature or piercing-cutting objects negatively affect the energy of the wisdom zone.
Teachers and travel
By activating the Teacher's zone, located in the north-western part of the apartment, you will attract people who can help you cope with difficult life situations. To do this, you need to take care of good lighting in this area. Also, the placement of small figures depicting gods protecting people: Guyin or Ganesha will have a positive effect on the energy of this zone. You can hang photos of your teachers in this area: school teachers or people who helped in the formation of your personality.
In addition, the northwest sector is responsible for travel. If you have long dreamed of seeing distant lands, decorate your walls with images of landmarks or landscapes. This part of the apartment is also suitable for storing souvenirs brought from abroad.
It is highly undesirable to store images and objects of an erotic nature in this area, as well as any weapon or its photographs.
Family
The eastern part of the dwelling is the family area. Its correct design will strengthen the attachment of household members to each other, will avoid quarrels and misunderstandings. According to Feng Shui, the zone is activated by placing family photos or objects associated with loved ones in it. Gifts from relatives or children's crafts will find their place here.
This zone corresponds to the green color and the element of wood. Flowers or wooden trinkets will attract additional energy here.
It is important to note that it is strictly forbidden to post photographs of deceased family members, stuffed animals, dried flowers in the family area. Sharp objects or thorny plants in this area will contribute to conflicts in the family, so it is better to refuse them too. It is not recommended to use metal elements in the design of the family area.
Creativity and children
The zone for children and creativity is in the west. It is necessary to activate it if you have difficulties in understanding with your child, or if you are in search of new ideas. However, even if the urgent need does not arise, the correct design of this sector will improve family relations and help to reveal your potential.
In the design of the space, white is preferable. Don't forget about lighting, especially if the area is far from windows. Bright lights will promote more active movement of Chi energy. Children's crafts and drawings will be the perfect decor for the western sector. Houseplants or flowers in a vase will fit perfectly into the overall picture. The latter, however, need to be monitored and thrown out of before wilting.
Wealth
Material well-being will help ensure the correct design of the wealth zone located in the southeastern part of the house. Good lighting, the use of red and green colors or details in the interior will help to activate it. Plants with red flowers or a money tree will find their place here. They will attract energy and fish here: it can be either a drawing or a small figure, or a real aquarium. Water attracts energy by itself, so if you don't want to take responsibility for your pets, put an indoor fountain in the wealth area.
Glory
The southern part of the house is a glory zone. It is she who determines how your relations in society will develop. To activate this zone, it is necessary to strengthen the lighting, use red light in the design. This sector is ideal for storing evidence of your own achievements: diplomas, cups and medals. Placing a wooden figurine of a bird here: a dove or a crane will contribute to the achievement of a good position in society.
Love
The southwest sector is responsible for love and marriage. Its characteristic color is yellow, and the corresponding element is earth. A photograph with a loved one or something reminiscent of the object of sighing will find a place here. The movement of energy here is stimulated by a pair of candles, preferably red and white. Romantic souvenirs, objects decorated with the Ying-Yang symbol, various toys for adults - all this is a place in the love sector. But the symbols of loneliness and objects that evoke sad memories, it is better to remove from here.
Health
The central part of the house unites all the others. It primarily affects your health - after all, it will be difficult for a sick person to succeed in any of the areas of activity. Wooden items will help to activate this zone, because this element is the key here. It's great if the layout of the apartment allows you to put a table here. It can be decorated with a porcelain figurine depicting fruit (always an odd number). A basket with real fruits will not be superfluous. And various crystals will help attract a large amount of Chi energy here and direct it to all other sectors.
It is the center of the house that is best suited for family communication, discussing common affairs and just having a pleasant pastime.
Separate rooms
Each person who decides to organize the living space according to the rules of Feng Shui has a choice, to do this in relation to the entire apartment, or to be limited to one room. Either way, this approach will improve all areas of your life. You can apply the principles of Feng Shui even when organizing a single desktop, and this will give its results!
The most important thing is to maintain order and not place objects in different zones that are unfavorable for them. This will allow you to maintain a sense of harmony for a long time.
What about the impossibility of correct organization of zones?
If you are not sure that the layout of your home allows you to take into account all the requirements listed in this article, do not despair. Even part of the recommendations will affect your well-being. And you can solve very difficult problems by consulting with a Feng Shui master. A specialist who knows all the intricacies of this teaching will be able to find a way out even in the case of the most non-standard layout.
In order to accurately determine and activate the zones of an apartment in Feng Shui, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the basic principles of Eastern teachings, which considers housing as the main factor affecting the fate and energy potential of a person. Every house, apartment or room has an aura on which the health, well-being and success of the residents depends.
The apartment number has a semantic meaning
To determine the apartment number in accordance with Eastern teachings, add the digits of the house and apartment numbers. For example, house 35, apartment 164 is reduced to the following form: 3 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 4 = 19 => 1 + 9 = 10 => 1 + 0 = 1. Each number has a direct impact on household members:
- if the Feng Shui apartment number is equal to one, then the energy of independence, creative energy and healthy risk hovers in it;
- number two provides a harmonious combination of masculine and feminine principles, defines a life of love and harmony;
- apartment number three will help to realize the potential of open and energetic people;
- the four contributes to gaining a sense of security in the house or room, improving health, helping to find a job to your liking and reliable friends;
- people seeking to develop their intellect and acquire new knowledge should look for apartment number 5. Photos of Feng Shui apartments corresponding to this number are presented in purple shades, with accents in the form of historical artifacts and travel attributes;
- in the house marked with six, the desire for all-embracing love, a passionate attitude to the profession and a caring approach to all aspects of life reign;
- the atmosphere of housing, corresponding to the seven, is conducive to asceticism and spiritual development;
- people living in apartment number eight are accompanied by success in love, in any endeavors and areas of life;
- nine gives calmness and self-sufficiency, regardless of financial situation. Therefore, it is undesirable for people with ambitious plans to live in such apartments.
Apartment zoning
It is possible to determine the Feng Shui zones in an apartment (one-room or with a large area) using the Bagua scheme, which divides the space into nine zones. To obtain the exact location of Feng Shui zones in a house or room, a magic scheme is applied to the plan of the house in accordance with the cardinal points. Finding a photo of a diagram is not difficult and does not take much time, but the reward for creative work will be positive changes in life.
Financial Wellness Sector
The Feng Shui wealth zone is located in the southeast. To attract financial flow, install in the room aquarium with fish or a small fountain. In a one-room apartment, to activate energy flows, they have Money Tree, a pyramid of stone, or a model of a yacht with the bow oriented deep into the room. Fire symbols cannot be placed in this sector: candles and red objects.
Health sector
The health zone is in the east and center of the Bagua scheme. The main talismans of the sector are paintings and photos depicting animals and nature, houseplants and wood products. The center of the health zone should be as illuminated as possible, ideally glass or crystal chandelier with an abundance of faceted crystals.
To activate the health zone, Feng Shui experts recommend placing potted plants or a bonsai tree in the eastern part of the zone. If there is a table in the health sector, then a vase filled with fruits should become its indispensable decoration.
Love and marriage sector
This section of the apartment is located in the southwest direction and requires activation if it is necessary to improve relations in marriage or make new acquaintances. The love zone should be well lit, and in the sector it is also necessary to place a joint photo with the subject of your passion. The presence of paired symbols of love is obligatory: two candles of red and white color, figurines of kissing doves, as well as postcards in the shape of a heart and decent erotic photos.
Glory Zone
The sector is located in the south and symbolizes your achievements. If you need to reach new heights in the profession or study, place diplomas and awards in the zone of fame, a photo with your image at the time of the presentation of awards, statuettes of birds.
Career sector
The Feng Shui career zone is located in the north of the apartment and is activated by enhanced lighting and wind chimes. To consolidate career success, it is advisable to place a small fountain in the center of the sector. In conditions studio apartment support will be provided by a photo or painting depicting a pond, as well as paired turtle figurines.
Knowledge and Wisdom Sector
This is an ideal area for organizing intellectual activities. Activate the sector with subjects related to mental activity - dictionaries, textbooks, your photo against the background of a geographic map or a blackboard with calculations.
Advice! Never leave entertaining literature, cutting and piercing objects in the knowledge sector!
Assistant sector
The Zone of the Teacher or Assistant is located in the northwest sector. In the fateful moments of life, the activation of the zone contributes to the appearance of an assistant. Strengthen the lighting in this sector, post photos of people whom you consider to be your teachers and spiritual guides.
Family area
An important sector is located in the east, affects health and symbolizes the closest people. To ease disagreements, stabilize your health and live in love, place in the sector objects associated with people dear to your heart, family photos, flowering plants and home crafts: weaving, embroidery, appliques, carvings.
Sector of Creativity and Children
The zone is located in the west, and its activation is necessary in case of contradictions with the growing child, difficulties in the educational process, and also if the child does not establish communication with peers. Place figurines of protector deities, children's crafts and photos, fresh flowers in this area.
Feng Shui in a studio apartment
A one-room apartment or a huge house - according to Eastern teachings, the size of a dwelling does not affect any of the spheres of life! The above methods for defining sectors and how to activate them are suitable for small one-room apartments, rooms, and even tables. It is no coincidence that people of the East decorate tables with fruit vases, figurines or metal saucers. For proper zoning, use the Bagua grid and activate the desired zone.
Advice! Areas of a one-room apartment intended for vigorous activity should have intense lighting and brightly decorated areas.
Secrets of activating feng shui zones
It is recommended to create Feng Shui apartments at the stage of renovation or purchase of housing. Small city apartments, especially one-room apartments, do not allow to take full advantage of the wisdom of their ancestors. But the influence of space on a person cannot be canceled, and methods of correcting space and neutralizing negative energy come to the rescue. With the help of simple actions, try to attract well-being and good luck to your home:
- Clean and free-flowing energy feeds everyone in the household, so keeping order should become a permanent habit. Avoid clutter and dust accumulation, regularly empty cabinets and shelves from unnecessary things.
- Fix any broken appliances in your home or dispose of them without regret. Replace burned out light bulbs.
- Dispose of cracked, broken dishes.
- Neutralize unpleasant odors and eliminate their sources.
- Do not store money near water pipes or in a toilet.
- Flowers and pets noticeably improve the feng shui of an apartment or house.
- The corners of the furniture should not be directed towards seating areas. In a one-room apartment, you can neutralize the impact of negative energy flows by decorating the corners with soft drapery or climbing plants.
Advice! Feng Shui of any apartment is always possible to correct and improve. To do this, invite a specialist who will divide the apartment into energy zones and give the only correct recommendations for zoning and improving the premises.
My home is my castle. The more comfortable, benevolent and more favorable it is, the more successful our life is. Undoubtedly, the benevolence of our fortress depends primarily on its household members. However, according to the ancient Chinese teachings of Feng Shui, the auspiciousness of our home depends on the harmony of a person and the surrounding space. If this harmony exists, then your life is a constant non-stop arrival - in your personal life, in health, in business. And if something goes wrong, you can turn to the Feng Shui master, who will individually adjust the energy flows in your house, and harmony will come again in life. But when there is no opportunity to contact a master - paid feng shui consultations do not fit into planning your costs - our advice can be useful. They are common and universal for everyone, and since all houses are individual, you still have to walk around the apartment with a compass. I note that in the process of creating harmony at home, there are a lot of pleasant moments according to the rules of Feng Shui. For example, throwing out old stuff, moving furniture and decorating an apartment with beautiful and mysterious objects.
Start small - general cleaning
First, you will be surprised how much the living space will increase as a result of getting rid of trash and junk. They say that if you do not use a thing for a year, you should think about the need to store it. Of course, this does not apply to the beloved children's toys that guarded your dreams from the nursery until high school, the first grade diary, the first love letters, etc. This is already a historical relic. But the inserts of the "Turbo" and "Love is ..." chewing gum can be safely thrown away.
Corners, mezzanines, niches, cabinets should not be crammed to capacity with things, especially not used. In such places, you need to clean up and throw away everything unnecessary more often. It is very important that the house is clean, as negative energy accumulates in dirty places, affecting the health and well-being of the family. Secondly, if you have broken appliances or broken things in your house, be sure to fix them. Even a small clock that has stopped and is now lying in the far corner of the desk drawer can negatively affect your life. Check your lighting fixtures for burnt out light bulbs. Do not keep broken, cracked, or glued dishes in your home. Even if this thing is very dear to you, it is better to get rid of it.
Take a critical look at your flower "plantations". Are there dry or dying plants in your home? If there is, then get rid of them without regrets, otherwise, instead of the beneficial energy of growth created by healthy flowers, you will receive the painful energy of wilting.
In search of luck, a compass will help
Now let's delve into the teachings of Feng Shui and get acquainted with the magical octagon of Bagua. This is such a nice regular octagon, in each sector of which there is a trigram. According to Feng Shui, everything that happens in life can be divided into nine aspects of life: wealth, fame, love and marriage; family, health, children and creativity; wisdom and knowledge; career, assistants and travel. All of these nine categories, combined together in a specific order, form the Bagua. Each part has its own compass direction, its own color, its own element and its own trigram.
You can superimpose this magic octagon on the plan of your house, apartment, or even a separate room. So you can determine where is which sector of Bagua, what it means and how to activate it to achieve your goals.
To determine a particular area of your house, you need the most common compass, a plan of your home to scale and a Bagua grid (see table).
If you're ready, pick up a compass. Now you have to determine the main parameter of your house from the point of view of Feng Shui - the direction of the front door. This is where you look from at home. Stand facing the front door and wait for the arrow to calm down. Let me remind you that the red arrow always points north. Now mentally draw a perpendicular from the center of the compass to your front door. This imaginary line shows the true direction of your front door.
Now you need to draw the plan of the apartment into nine equal parts and align the compass north with the north on the plan. Oriented on the terrain? Wonderful! Now carefully write down all the compass directions in the plan of your apartment and start assessing the state of different zones of your apartment with a tenacious glance from a Feng Shui specialist.
The difficulty you may face is the problem of missing corners. After all, our apartments and houses do not always have the shape of regular squares or rectangles. Therefore, when overlaying the Bagua grid on the plan of the house, you may find out that one or even several sectors of the Bagua grid are missing. This negatively affects the quality of Feng Shui, but the missing angle can always be compensated for, because Feng Shui corrects the space not so much by changing the shape of the room as by symbols.
So, as I mentioned, each Bagua sector and each zone symbolizes one of the 9 aspects of life. Now you can determine which of the zones to do first in order to realize your most urgent desires.
Wealth zone
As you can see from the Bagua grid, the wealth zone is the southeast. If this sector is activated, Feng Shui promises abundance and prosperity. The color of this zone is green and purple, and the element is wood. To activate the tree, water is needed, as it nourishes it. The energy of water in Feng Shui is almost the main symbol of money. The most powerful representatives of this element of the elements in Feng Shui are sources of "living" water - waterfalls, fountains and aquariums. It is they, and especially the first two types (the infinite variety of which you will find in stores), are responsible for attracting additional funds and symbolically creating a source of wealth. If you want to use an aquarium for the same purposes, then it is better to choose one that you can keep open - the water hidden under the lid does not have the same force as the one that directly comes into contact with the air in the room. Make sure that the water in it is always clean, since dirty and stagnant water brings financial problems instead of abundance.
You can also activate the wealth zone with the help of talismans. One of them is a sailboat model. This is a wonderful talisman that attracts good luck in business. For its efficient operation, it is necessary that the sailboat be turned towards the inside of the house, that is, it “sailed” and provided you with uninterrupted cash receipts.
Many successful businessmen do not hide the fact that they use Chinese coins to attract money luck. These round coins with square holes in the center depicting hieroglyphs or magical animals can now be purchased at any gift shop. The easiest way to use them is to tie three coins with a red ribbon so that the hieroglyphs are on top and place them in your wealth sector. And one more piece of advice: do not keep your money in unfavorable places, for example, in the toilet, otherwise you will constantly lose it in life.
Glory zone
The Fame Sector, in the South, is responsible for success in life, achieving popularity and moving up the social ladder. The zone element is fire and the color is red. The most effective fire talismans are associated with an open fire - a fireplace, candles and aroma lamps. For example, to enhance the energy of fire, you can use red candles. Just keep in mind that the energy is activated by the flame, and not by the candles themselves, so do not be lazy to light them at least once a week.
Zone of love and marriage
The area of love and marriage is located in the southwest. She holds great potential to improve your love, sexual and social relationships with people. Its element is Earth, and its color is terracotta. The traditional talismans of the Love Zone are, first of all, paired things. They are great at activating romantic luck. It doesn't matter what kind of pair they are. A pair of pillows, for example, will work just as well as a pair of candlesticks with candles, and a pair of dolphins will work just as well as a pair of crystal eggs. This can be your photo, where you are together and happy, and figures of a boy and a girl who are kissing. Now, just do not forget to periodically glance at your "love corner", imagining your dream come true, and your desire will surely come true. It is also desirable in the zone of Love to have flowers - living or images. It is good to hang in here "chimes of the wind" with pendants in the form of hearts. Chocolates, chocolates and everything connected with them will be appropriate in the Love sector, because these are symbols of romantic relationships.
Zone for children and creativity
This zone is located in the west of the Bagua grid. Its element is Metal and its color is white, metallic, gold and silver.
Everything related to children (yours, strangers, future and present) is presented here. The happiness of motherhood, taking care of the health, development and well-being of children is a very important aspect in the life of every person. It is also a zone of creativity. If you feel the need for self-expression, then it is important to activate this sector. The traditional mascot for this zone is the wind chimes. These jingling tubes can be purchased at any gift shop. Just be careful: air bells should be full of tubes, without sharp corners and sharp design details. Not everyone who makes the "wind chime" knows Feng Shui. Also, by the way, figurines (netsuke) of babies are suitable for this zone. They symbolize happiness, heavenly protection and protection for young children.
Zone for assistants, mentors and successful travels
In the Bagua grid, it is northwest. The element is metal and the color is white, metallic, gold and silver. This zone affects the owner of the house most of all, and is also associated with people who help you along the path of life: mentors, colleagues, leaders. With the right activation, the sector helps to get the favor of people important to you, as well as help from the most unexpected sources. Also, this area is responsible for travel. Therefore, if you dream of going on a cruise, I advise you to pay special attention to it.
Traditional talismans for this zone are portraits of people and images of those whom you consider your earthly and heavenly patrons: figurines or paintings of angels, icons, portraits of real friends, portraits of famous and authoritative people for you.
Career and Life Path Zone
This zone is located in the north. Its element is Water, and its colors are black, blue and cyan.
Everything related to your work, career, is represented in this sector. Its activation will help to climb the career ladder, get the desired job, change the profession, and increase earnings. Another interpretation of the northern sector is the path of life. This is why it is very useful to analyze this area. If in your house she finds herself in the hallway lit by a dim light bulb with the shelter of your school bike, then most likely you will have difficulty achieving your goals.
The most common traditional talisman for the Career zone is considered a turtle - a symbol of heavenly support, protection, wisdom and longevity. She is considered the image of the Universe: her shell is the firmament, and her stomach is the earth's surface. She brings money and support to influential people. The more turtles in your house - the more luck!
To activate the energy of the water, the "mistress" of the career zone, you can turn to the already mentioned fountains, waterfalls and aquariums. Also, the water element can represent a painting or photograph with a landscape of water.
Zone of wisdom and knowledge
In the Bagua grid, it is northeast. The element is earth and the colors are beige and all shades of brown. Helps to achieve success in learning and retain the knowledge gained. Activating this zone will help you improve yourself, become wiser, and a sage can have everything, including money, and power, and love. The traditional talismans of this area are crystals and figurines or images of a snake. The latter is a symbol of perpetual motion and renewal of the universe. In the East, she is also a symbol of female beauty. "You are beautiful as a snake" - a very flattering complement for a woman. But most often the snake personifies wisdom and deep knowledge. Also, this sector can be activated with a globe, ceramic and porcelain vases and figurines.
Family area
This zone is in the east. Its element is Wood and its color is green.
Family affairs and relationships of all members of the clan are represented in this sector. If you activate it, you can significantly improve the family climate and even help the addition of a family. The zone's classic mascot is the green dragon. He personifies power, wisdom and kindness. Family photos, where each family member looks contented and happy, can be an excellent talisman.
Health zone
This zone is in the center of the Bagua grid. Its element is earth and its color is terracotta.
Since this sector is located in the center, then, in contact with all other sectors, connects and unites them. And in fact, if there is no health, then there is no joy from anything.
Classic symbols of health and longevity are peaches. In China, it is believed that a sick person should be given these fruits as a gift. And the cranes are also the favorite symbol of this zone. Especially those depicted against a pine background. In the center of the house it is very useful to place all sorts of funny things and humorous pictures, books with cartoons, video tapes with comedies. Laughter is the best medicine. Also, if it is appropriate in your apartment, Feng Shui advises to put a large dining table. He will be a wonderful talisman.
Now think about what you want the most. Not enough money to buy a new TV? Take the Wealth Sector. Can't cope with the piled-up volume of work? The Helper Sector is at your service. Relationships with the opposite sex don't work out? Activate the sector of Love. Looking for a job? Pay attention to the Career sector. In general, there are no such goals, aspirations and desires, in the fulfillment of which Feng Shui cannot help. No wonder the wise Chinese have been using the knowledge of Feng Shui for more than one thousand years!
Create "good Feng Shui" in the bedroom
I think that one of your favorite places in the apartment is the bedroom. This is the most important room for health, since it is in this room that you spend about a third of your life. How to achieve comfort and harmony here in this room?
To begin with, of course, it is necessary to determine the main purposes of using this room. If you are more inclined towards relaxation and sleep, then it is better to decorate the bedroom in soft colors so that the relaxing yin energy can manifest itself more strongly. If, on the contrary, you want the most active use of the bedroom, so that you don't even want to sleep, use bright Yang colors that help not to succumb to fatigue. You might find a more sensible overall pastel design with a bit of bright spots. Their number, if necessary, you can easily increase, using, for example, candles, flowers, or even "randomly" left clothes.
There are several taboos related to the bedroom. The number of plants must be kept to a minimum, especially all climbing plants must be excluded. According to Feng Shui, during sleep, they take energy away from a person. Therefore, if your windowsill looks like a botanical garden and is completely lined with flowerpots with vegetation, then at night fenced off from the window and greenery with thick curtains. In addition, you should not put an aquarium and other "water" objects in the bedroom - this is detrimental to romantic luck. By the way, the computer and the TV in the bedroom, especially opposite the bed, have a similar effect. Therefore, Feng Shui advises to get rid of them in the bedroom first. According to Feng Shui, there are mirrors with the same energetic "vampire" in the bedroom. In no case should mirrors be hung so that sleeping people are reflected in them. But, if you really need a mirror in the bedroom, then hang it with some beautiful scarf or just a cloth. And be sure to remove the shelves above your bed and slide it out of the corner - you immediately start getting enough sleep, and sex will become enchanting.

What do you know about feng shui talismans? (it is interesting)
Feng Shui with talismans, symbols, advice has long ceased to be unfamiliar to us. We receive and give each other beautiful and unusual pyramids, bells, netsuke, money toads and other little things with wishes for happiness, prosperity and all those benefits that we ourselves need, and which are not a pity for our family and friends.
But often we do not understand the symbolism of Feng Shui talismans, we do not even know how to correctly place the talisman at home. It may happen that the apartment is a real museum of amulets, but luck and prosperity are not added.
If you want to choose a Feng Shui talisman as a gift for the New Year, then do not grab the first thing that comes across that you liked. First you need to figure out what exactly you are missing now, or what wishes you have for those people to whom you intend the talisman as a gift. And then study the meaning of the figurine or object you like.
But this is not enough for the talisman to bring good luck. It is important to choose the right place for it. And for this you need to know what aspects of life the different zones in your home correspond to. Equip yourself with a compass, and Feng Shui will help you decide.
Centre- this is a health zone, and the most traditional talisman for this zone is the netsuke in the form of a wise old man. Fu-hsing, Lu-hsing, Shou-hsing - the figures of these elders symbolize prosperity and longevity. In this area, you can place images and figurines of cranes, which, according to Feng Shui, symbolize a happy and long life.
Southeast considered a zone of wealth. It is customary to lay out symbols of wealth - Chinese coins with a square hole in the center and hieroglyphs around the edges, which are best tied with a red ribbon (three coins are enough). There is also a place for a popular mascot - a money toad with a coin in its mouth, and it is best to put it on a desktop.
In the zone of wealth, there is the very place for the symbol of good luck in Feng Shui - a boat. It is believed that goods and money are transported on it, so it needs to be turned with its nose inside the house, then good luck will come to you on this boat. Luck is also personified by netsuke - statuettes of Chinese gods and animals. The most famous of them is Hottey, the god of happiness, prosperity, fun and carelessness. It is believed that if three hundred times
rub Hottei on the stomach, thinking about something good, your envisioned will definitely come true! Daikoku, the god of wealth, also brings wealth. He is usually depicted with a mallet, a rat, and a sack of magic rice.

Lesson 38. Secret assistants of Feng Shui
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art, and that is why, many of its recommendations and practices are based on the principles of the Eastern calendar. Yes, we ourselves, when talking about our zodiac sign, often mention in the year of which animal we were born.
If you are still in the dark, then the table at the end of this article will help you put everything in its place.
According to Chinese teachings, each zodiac sign has its own astrological friends, with whom you can not only go into fire and water, but also overcome mountains. It is very easy to find a common language with such people, do business, start a family, etc. Masters share four main groups of friends:
Pig - Goat - Rabbit
Dog - Horse - Tiger
Snake - Rooster - Bull
Monkey - Dragon - Rat
For example, it is easiest for a person born in the year of the Dog to establish relationships with the Horse and the Tiger.
In addition to astrological friends, everyone has secret assistants of feng shui... They are also calculated according to the Eastern calendar, but they are activated according to the Bagua grid.
How do secret feng shui assistants work?
They bring good luck and easy victory to the one who takes advantage of their protection. Their influence most of all extends to the sphere of well-being, that is, financial issues are resolved and problems that hinder career advancement are eliminated. However, for some they affect other areas as well, but in any case, their purpose is to attract success!
Take a picture or sculpture with an assistant and place it in the sector of your animal. Do not forget that Bagua is applied not only to an apartment or a separate room, but also to a shelf or desk. That is, if you wish, you can put the assistant directly on the table at work (only in the right corner).

Today, such a phenomenon as feng shui is popular not only in the East, but also in the West. Today we will discuss feng shui for the home, and we will try to show the zones on the diagram.
According to various sources, this current appeared from 2000 to 5000 years ago. Initially, feng shui was used to find the right place to build a palace, starting from the landscape of the area. This branch was called the school of forms. Later, a second branch appeared - the compass school. In the 19th century, they united.
Today feng shui helps people create a harmonious space in order to live there in harmony with the Universe and themselves. "Feng" (Chinese) - wind, "Shui" (Chinese) - water. Life is impossible without water, change is impossible without wind. If you are careful while studying Feng Shui for the home, then you can show the zones on the diagram of your own house or apartment.
Feng Shui is based on three principles:
- Chi energy that creates everything in the Universe,
- balance of yin and yang forces,
- interaction of the five elements.
To harmonize a room, it must first be divided into zones or sectors. To divide, for example, an apartment, take a copy of its plan and connect it to the Bagua grid. It is necessary that all sides of the world coincide.
The Bagua grid is shown below and using Feng Shui for the house, as well as dividing a house or apartment into zones, you can show on the diagram different options for zoning a room.
So, here are the benefits of feng shui for the home (zones are shown in the diagram):
- Career - North. To activate this zone, it will be useful to place an aquarium, a fountain, and an image of a turtle there. Also, any items reminiscent of work will be appropriate here.
- Knowledge and wisdom - northeast. Learning-related items, bookcases, shelves. Here, of course, it will be best to master new knowledge and skills.
- Teachers, travel - northwest. Good lighting, figurines of gods, pictures of your teachers will attract people into your life who will help you cope with a difficult life situation. Pictures of landmarks or souvenirs from different countries will help you get on your journey faster.
Family - east. Place here family photos, gifts from relatives. The location of indoor plants will also be helpful. Green is preferred. When this zone is activated, the attachment of households to each other will be strengthened, and quarrels will be bypassed. 
Following the teachings of Feng Shui, it is important to know that everything that happens in our life is divided into nine aspects of life, which are combined in a certain order and are reflected in the Bagua grid.
Bagua mesh
Bagua mesh Is a regular octagon with a trigram corresponding to each side. An ancient legend says that about two thousand years ago a huge turtle appeared on the shore. On the back of the turtle was inscribed the message of the Gods: the order of the arrangement of trigrams, which were deciphered by the greatest sage Fu Xi.
Each of the nine areas of the Bagua grid is responsible for a specific area of a person's life (health, fame, love, wealth, etc.). All zones are equal in size. When shaping the feng shui of an apartment, the zones that you want to influence must be designed purposefully. By focusing on the Bagua grid, you can multiply the influence of Chi energy on the areas of your life that are more important at the moment.
How to determine feng shui zones in an apartment
In order to correctly arrange the zones of an apartment according to Feng Shui, first of all, you need to determine where they are. To determine the location of the zones, you need to arm yourself with a compass, a Bagua grid and a plan of your apartment (or house) to scale.
Feng Shui apartment zones
- First, using a compass, you need to determine where the north is in the apartment - it will serve as a starting point.
- Next, you need to divide the plan of your apartment into nine parts of the same size.
- And finally, align north on the compass and north on the plan - this is how you define the Career area. Now you can easily identify the other eight zones based on the compass directions and the Bagua grid.
It is very important to correctly determine the location of the zones in your apartment, but this is only half the battle. It is equally important to be able to activate the found zones so that the impact on them would bring tangible benefits.
It should be noted right away that there are “universal” activation methods for each zone. First of all, this is the placement of crystals in the desired zone, which accumulate Qi energy and distribute it throughout the apartment. Naturally, there are many items that are selected individually for each of the nine zones.
Career Zone
The element of the Career zone is water, its colors are blue and black.
Career symbol
The Career Zone, located in the north, is activated with the help of intensified lighting, wind chimes, as well as objects symbolizing the element that corresponds to your astrological sign and Gua number.
If you are looking for a promotion, place a small indoor fountain in the Career area. If you want to build on the gains you've already made, painting or photographing calm waters can help. A turtle figurine (representative of the element of water) will help provide reliable support for your career success.
If your goal is to quickly move up the career ladder or search for a new business, you can additionally activate this zone by placing any office equipment (computer, telephone, etc.) and a positive photo of your work team in it.
Zone of Wisdom and Knowledge
The element of the zone of Wisdom and Knowledge is earth, its color is beige.
The Zone of Wisdom and Knowledge is located in the northeast of the apartment. This is an ideal place for a library or study, as this area maximizes the learning process. Here, any activity that requires mental activity will be crowned with success.
Activate the zone of Wisdom and Knowledge with enhanced lighting, as well as subjects directly related to the purpose of your study (dictionaries and textbooks, if you plan to study foreign languages, etc.). Also place here objects related to the educational process in principle (geographical map, globe), and books that contain great wisdom (Bible, Vedas, Koran, etc.).
Never leave sharp objects, cutting objects, entertainment literature, or anything of cruelty or unhappiness in this area.
Assistant and Travel Area
The element of the Helpers and Travels zone is metal, its color is white.
The Assist and Travel Zone is located in the northwest sector. It is often called the zone of the Teacher, as its activation contributes to the emergence of a “teacher” or “helper” in difficult or turning points of your life. To do this, it is necessary to enhance the lighting of this zone, place in it statues of guardian deities (Guyin, Ganesha, etc.) and photographs of your spiritual mentors.
If you are waiting for the help of a specific person (knowing the date of his birth), place an object symbolizing the element that corresponds to your astrological sign and the number of Gua in the area of Helpers and Travels.
In order to intensify the influence of this zone on your travels, put in it an object symbolizing the element that corresponds to your astrological sign and the number of Gua, photographs of the places in which you dream to visit. Also post in this sector photographs of people traveling and various means of transportation (motorcycles, trains, cars, ships, rockets, etc.).
Try not to leave in this area broken objects, images of an erotic nature, as well as firearms (even photographs of them).
Family Zone
The element of the Family zone is a tree, its color is green.
Bamboo - the mascot of the family zone
The Family Zone is located to the east. It symbolizes all people close and dear to your heart and additionally affects your health.
To strengthen family ties and weaken disagreements between people close to you, place a family photo in the Family area, increase the lighting, put objects associated with people close to you. An image of a forest landscape, plants growing in pots, as well as any wooden things, preferably made by hand (various weaves, carvings, etc.) will help activate this zone.
It is strictly forbidden to place metal objects, old coins, photographs of dead people and pets, as well as herbariums, stuffed animals and dried flowers in the Family area! By accidentally placing sharp (cutting or stabbing) objects or thorny plants in this area, you run the risk of provoking unnecessary family quarrels, and climbing or creeping plants placed there can give rise to intrigues in the family.
Kids and Creativity Zone
The element of the zone for Children and Creativity is metal, its color is white.
In the west is the zone of Children and Creativity. There are several ways to activate this zone, depending on your goals and needs.
If you have any difficulties in communicating, raising a child, or he himself has problems, it is necessary to activate the Children and Creativity zone by maximizing the lighting and placing in it objects related to the element corresponding to the astrological sign and Gua number of your child.
Place in this zone bronze figurines of deities-defenders, the most "light" in weight, children's crafts, photographs and drawings. Additionally, it is recommended to place pots with young plants or a vase with fresh flowers in this area. The main thing is that there are no dried or withering flowers in the children's area!
Wealth Zone
The element of the Wealth zone is a tree, its color is red, green.
The Wealth Zone is located in the southeast. It is she who is directly related to the material component of your life, the abundance of your financial well-being.
It is not difficult to activate the Wealth Zone: it is necessary to increase the illumination of this sector in order to attract the Chi energy. For additional activation, place any symbol of money, jewelry made of precious stones and metals, and a silver vessel with water in the Wealth area. Place in this sector any metal object, an aquarium with goldfish (if you are not a representative of the fire sign) or a red decoration in the form of fish (fish symbolize success), an indoor fountain, a pot with a plant and a "money" tree. You can also place any item in the wealth zone that symbolizes an element corresponding to your astrological sign and Gua number.
Glory Zone
The element of the Glory Zone is fire, its color is red.
To the south is the Glory Zone, which symbolizes your position in society. If your goal is to become a famous person, be sure to activate this zone. This can be done by enhancing its lighting, placing your own awards (and even diplomas) in the Glory Zone, an object symbolizing an element corresponding to your astrological sign and Gua number, statuettes of non-predatory and non-wood birds (ideally a dove statuette), as well as stones ( excluding marine).
Zone of Love and Marriage
The element of the zone of Love and Marriage is earth, its color is yellow.
The Zone of Love and Marriage is located in the southwest direction. Be sure to activate it if you want to improve existing relationships or seek to start new ones. The enhanced lighting will draw the Chi energy into the Love and Marriage area. Place in this area a photograph showing you next to your loved one, objects symbolizing elements that correspond to your astrological signs and Gua numbers, any object that evokes warm feelings and love associations in you, as well as two candles (one red, and another white), personifying a man and a woman.
Be sure to put paired feng shui symbols in this sector: a pair of mandarin ducks (a symbol of the constancy of love and happiness), butterflies (a symbol of joy and love), doves (the embodiment of romance) or geese (the personification of fidelity in marriage). This is an ideal area for storing erotic "paraphernalia": items for love pleasures, magazines, books and photographs of erotic content, essential oils, aphrodisiacs, erotic incense.
If you are single, place a picture of a couple in love in this area, as well as stuffed animals, boxes, valentines and cards in the shape of a heart.
In the zone of Love and Marriage, you cannot use sharp objects, photographs of lonely and sad people, climbing and thorny plants, muzhegon and monster.
Health Zone
The element of the Health zone is earth, its color is yellow, orange.
At the very center of the Bagua grid is the Health Zone. If you want to live a long life, be sure to clean it up. Place wooden things, a pot of soil, houseplants, clay jugs and green furnishings in this sector - they will help improve your health. Also try to saturate the area with water landscapes, paintings of nature, sea pebbles and decorative boulders.
To activate the health zone, in addition to the standard methods (enhanced lighting), use more symbolic items: a bamboo branch, pine trees, an odd number of peaches, a figurine of a crane or a deer. Closer to the east of this zone, it is recommended to place a bonsai tree. If there is a table in this section of your apartment, decorate it with porcelain peaches (five or nine), a porcelain figurine, or a bowl of fruit.
The center of your apartment is also known as the "spiritual center" or "luck center". This place should be as well lit as possible, which will push the inhabitants of the house to communicate, an interesting and exciting pastime. Ideally, a large crystal chandelier containing many crystals should be located in the center of the apartment. The abundance of crystals contributes to the spread of Chi energy throughout the area of your entire apartment.
Private rooms
If necessary, all of the above can be applied to very small areas: a room or even a table! It is not for nothing that almost all the inhabitants of the East put several figurines on their table. The most common table decoration is a metal saucer or a frog with a coin.
In order to determine the location of the zones in a particular room, you need to do the same thing that you did when defining the zones in the entire apartment: using the compass and the room plan, find the north, starting from which and using the Bagua grid, you can easily understand where the zone you need.
What to do if some zones "drop out" from your apartment
Due to the sophistication of modern architecture, most of our apartments cannot boast of a square shape, and accordingly, when the Bagua grid is applied to the plan of an apartment with sophisticated shapes, some zones may simply be absent in this room. In this case, you can compensate for the missing zones by defining and activating them in other rooms of the room.
Directions for areas outside of your apartment
We have figured out how to determine the feng shui zones in an apartment, but what to do if their activation seems too little to you? Naturally, Bagua's influence is not limited to the confines of your apartment - they stretch to infinity, far beyond the walls of your home. With this in mind, you can pay attention not only to the area within your apartment, but also to the direction of this area outside the apartment.
For example, by following the direction that the zone of Love and marriage indicates, you increase the likelihood of meeting your betrothed. Hungry for a promotion? Take short walks in the direction indicated by the Career zone in the morning before work, and you will activate the Career zone additionally.
Let's summarize
If it seemed to you that it is rather difficult to form the Feng Shui of an apartment, the zones of which require so much attention, it is also worth noting that it is possible that you will not have to change anything in your apartment! Often people, listening to their own instincts, do many things exactly as they should be! Place a bagua grid on your floor plan and try to track if your own interpretations match the real picture. In any case, if something is wrong, you can always correct the situation by approaching your own happiness and harmony! Once you do this, the desired effect will not be long in coming!
Feng Shui zones in an apartment are an amazing way to transform your life. About a thousand years ago, the ancient Chinese doctrine of "feng shui" was born, which in translation meant "feng" - "wind", and "shui" - "water". The Chinese realized that the elements and the world around them generate energy, on which our life depends.
Living in certain places, the ancient Chinese began to notice that nature itself creates landscapes with different levels of energy: low and high. Therefore, having studied the "laws of nature", they began to use the knowledge they had acquired in everyday life, settling in the most favorable and protected places. Ideally, the teaching assumes not only the favorable arrangement of the sectors in the apartment or room, but also the correct initial choice of the place of residence.
What is the essence of Feng Shui teaching?
At present, of course, we are far from the landscape possibilities in which ancient people lived. Few can afford to have a country house near the sea and mountains, surrounded by gardens and shrubs. In the context of global urbanization, many are striving to harmonize their personal homes in accordance with the eastern knowledge of the pure life energy of Qi. Unfortunately, in a big city it is incredibly difficult, because a house or apartment should not be located near noisy places, old buildings, etc. As for the internal space, it can and should be harmonized.
How to define zones yourself
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, our home is a spiritualized living substance in which energy circulates that affects our life.
So, let's try to divide our home into zones of influence of this vital energy, so that our life becomes more comfortable and more harmonious.
First you need to know which zones exist. There are nine of them, according to the Bagua grid. The Bagua grid is one of the fundamental concepts of ancient Chinese teaching, which is a regular octagon with a center in the middle. This "sacred octagon" is divided into 9 sectors, including the central one, which is responsible for health. In order to understand which of the sectors (zones) this or that part of your home belongs to, you need to know the cardinal directions in relation to your apartment. It is possible that you need a compass for a more accurate determination.
Let's consider each of the zones in more detail
- The northern zone is responsible for careers, business success and the overall dynamics of the premises.
Colors correspond to it: from blue to black. Element - water, which geometrically takes the form in which it is placed. To activate this zone, it is recommended to place everything related to water in this part of the room: paintings with seascapes, aquariums with fish, non-heating electrical appliances.
Because, according to Feng Shui, electricity and magnetic field are also related to water. The metal that supports the water can be reflected in any metallic decoration (for example, coins tied with a red ribbon, or metal tubes - "chimes of the wind"). Aquariums with turtles and fish, all kinds of fountains, mirrors and a metal horseshoe will be a positive talisman.
- The South is responsible for the zone of fame, authority and social status
Represents the element of fire, which is characterized by red tints. By working to revitalize this sector, you will achieve the desired results, fame and success much faster. To strengthen this sector, it is important to use triangular and pointed shapes, wood and fire. Various paintings depicting strong animals, blooming sunflowers and poppies, sunrise are suitable here as decorative elements.
Photos of famous and successful people next to your bizarre spiky-shaped lamps, scented candles, a peacock's feather, etc. will bring good luck.
- The zone of creativity, children and their relationship with parents is represented by the western sector
The element is air. Undoubtedly, children are the best manifestation of creativity! If you are still haunted by thoughts of getting offspring, you should definitely pay more attention to this sector. To activate this zone, suitable metal decorations related to the air ("wind chime", which necessarily consists of 7 bell tubes), white shades of the interior in the room, ceramics, crystals, a horseshoe to attract good luck.
In this part of the apartment, it is good to place images with children and pets, netsuke figurines of babies. The influence of this zone on the work of creative people will be very positive if a workplace is located in it.
- Family relations are one of the most important places in our life. The east is responsible for this area

Chinese coins, figurines depicting a turtle or three-legged toad sitting on coins, a large amethyst, various Chinese gods of wealth (smiling Hottei, Fook with a large gold coin in their hands) will have a positive impact. Just place them in the southeast zone and you will soon see the result. Do not forget that true abundance must first be formulated in your head. It is not for nothing that thoughts are believed to be material.
- The zone of teachers, patrons and travel is considered to be the northwest zone.
The dominant element is metal. Square, round and oval shapes are favorable, as well as all shades of white and yellow. The location in these places of images of distant countries and exotic landscapes, photographs of authoritative people, a metal bell, crystals very well influences. You should not use bright lighting and candles in this part of the house, as fire damages the metal. Mainly this sector contributes to the support and protection of the heavenly forces. Therefore, in the case of the correct activation of this sector, their patronage will always accompany you on the path of life.
It is very important to install talismans in the form of statues of the god Ganesha and Kuan Kung (Kuan Di). These talismans will bring good luck in business and protect you from negative influences. Images of mountains will have a positive impact in this sector. By the way, by placing a picture of mountain landscapes in your office behind your back, you will always be under the reliable protection of their greatness even in the most difficult situations. But you should beware of images of mountains next to water bodies, otherwise there is a risk of financial losses.

The element is earth. Characteristic colors: from pink to red, shades of beige. Geometric shapes - triangular and square. In our life, love and happy relationships are the most significant and in demand. After all, when a person's "soul sings", any business is argued.

Therefore, in order to improve the situation in this area, it is necessary to correctly harmonize the energy in your home and the sector responsible for this area. If you are looking for a new relationship, then you should not hang pictures of your ex-partners or single people on the wall in this area. It is better to use hearts in the form of jewelry or their images, bouquets of fresh flowers, equivalent paired objects (a pair of doves, pillows, images of pairs of swans, flamingos). For more effect, you can purchase a couple of bright red candles in a stone candlestick and crystals.

Feng Shui practice is aimed at harmonizing the energies within which a person lives. With the correct development of space, you can achieve positive results in all areas of life.
The feng shui of an apartment requires a serious approach. Based on Eastern practice, it is necessary to clearly delineate the zones and place symbolic attributes in them that will concentrate the flows of positive Qi energy in the right place.
Recently, many have become interested in various practices for a harmonious home arrangement. Using the postulates of the teachings, it is necessary to clearly delineate the zones of living quarters and correctly arrange the symbols in order to activate positive processes. In this case, negative flows are weakened or completely neutralized.
Feng Shui is used to activate positive processes
Feng Shui of an apartment opens up opportunities for its tenants, helps to establish family relationships, make good profits, promotes career growth and improves health. All this happens without much effort on the part of the person. The main condition is knowledge of the fundamental laws of Taoist practice.
Feng Shui interior arrangement
When arranging Feng Shui apartments, it is necessary to pay attention not only to global issues, but also to smaller ones. There are several basic rules, adherence to which will help to control your life.
- Maintaining cleanliness. The presence of trash leads to the closure of favorable streams and stagnant energy - Sha accumulates in these places.
It is very important to clean your home regularly.
- Getting rid of unnecessary items of clothing. Only an empty space can attract the emergence of a new one. No need to regret that it is no longer useful. If you feel sorry for throwing out your clothes, then you can give them to those in need.
Get rid of unnecessary clothing
- Repair of all inoperative appliances. Not everyone has the opportunity to throw out broken expensive equipment, as can be done with clothes. However, the presence of inoperative appliances in the house also leads to stagnation. It is necessary to do small and global repairs of what lends itself to it, and everything else must be disposed of.
Throw out non-working household appliances
- There should be no broken dishes in the house. This tradition is voiced not only in the teachings of Feng Shui. Broken dishes were traditionally considered a bad omen, and they got rid of them.
Do not keep broken dishes at home
- In order for all zones in the apartment to work for the benefit of the owners, it is necessary to achieve good lighting at any time of the day. During the day they should be illuminated by the sun's rays, and in the evening - from lamps, sconces and lamps. In the dark, stagnant energy is formed that can spoil life in all its manifestations.
All areas of the apartment should be well lit
- Cleanliness should be not only in furniture and things. Feng Shui involves frequent repairs. Ceilings and walls should not be dusty, and cracks have a detrimental effect on all processes taking place in the apartment.
Renovate your apartment regularly
- Energy should circulate freely throughout the apartment. That is why there should be no heavy bulky furniture in rooms and corridors. The forced space will not let the wind of change in the home.
Do not make the apartment bulky furniture
- One of the rules for decorating an apartment according to Feng Shui is the correct setting of the doors. In the rooms, they must open inward, the only exceptions are the toilet and the bathroom.
Interior doors must open inward
- Nothing should hang from the ceiling in the bed area. In all other places, sharp objects in the upper part of the room should be avoided.
- The apartment should not have neglected uninhabited places. Rooms in which old rubbish is collected negatively affect the entire space. You cannot arrange warehouses for dirty dishes and linen. Only purity can open the way for energy.
- The abundance of plants and the presence of animals have a beneficial effect on the aura of the room. Many areas of an apartment in Feng Shui suggest the presence of indoor flowers in pots.
Indoor plants have a beneficial effect on the aura of the room
- The main rule of housing registration within the framework of Eastern practices is the desire of a person to return home. If all household members are cozy and comfortable in the apartment, then everything has been done correctly, and the all-encompassing Qi energy has begun to work.
To run positive energy into your home, you need to keep it clean. Dirt and neglected places create negativity and inhibit development. External cleanliness is not an indicator of complete well-being. All problems are hidden in hard-to-reach places, so the cleaning of premises must be comprehensive and global.
To clear your living space, you need to sort out the wardrobes and dressers. Anything that can no longer be worn must be ruthlessly thrown away. Keeping junk prevents new things from coming to life. While the closet is full of unnecessary clothes, new clothes will not appear in it.
Get rid of unnecessary junk without regret
The same can be said about non-working equipment, watches and broken dishes. If they are to be repaired, then this should be done without delay. Even one non-working clock can slow down the time and prevent positive energy in the home. Broken dishes must be thrown away immediately, guided by the truth that a broken cup cannot be glued together. Light and heat will not appear if you do not throw out all non-working lighting fixtures and bulbs.
In order for the Feng Shui of an apartment to be complete, it is necessary to decorate the dwelling with plants. They symbolize prosperity and growth in all areas of human life. Animals are also welcome guests in the house. Where they live, there can be no bad energy.
Animals maintain good energy in the house
When equipping your apartment, you must remember that this is a gradual process and you don’t have to do everything at once. Drastic changes may not be beneficial.
Interior design in every room
If the house is large, then it is difficult to equip it, but even more difficult to work with a small apartment. It is necessary for everything to find the right place to open each energy zone.
Feng shui for the bedroom
Particular attention should be paid to the resting place. There should be nothing superfluous in the bedroom. All unnecessary things must be taken out immediately. At the moment of rest, a person is relaxed and defenseless, so negative energy can overtake him. To avoid this, it is necessary to remove objects related to sports and work from the room, and fill the bedroom with peace and tranquility.
The room should not contain a lot of furniture, it clutters up the space. It is not necessary to place heavy objects on the walls of the bedroom, they inspire fear on a subconscious level and deprive you of peace. The door to the room must open inward.
Organization of a bedroom in Feng Shui
The bed should be in the center of the room or diagonally. The door should not be opposite, but it should be seen. The fireplace cannot be in the back. The best place for a bed will be the Love Zone.
There should be no things in open places, there are wardrobes for this. Everything that lies outside clutters up the space. There should be no electrical appliances in the bedroom; in extreme cases, they should be turned off during sleep. In order for love to reign in a relaxation room, you cannot force it with small items on the shelves. All this distracts people from the true purpose of the bedroom.
There should be no household appliances in the bedroom
Feng shui for living room
A large crystal chandelier can become the centerpiece of the living room. It helps attract positive energy. The chandelier will provide sufficient lighting to activate all areas.
A crystal chandelier will attract positive energy
The living room does not like sharp corners and objects. When choosing furniture, one must not forget about it. Round tables, soft armchairs, an oval-shaped slide will give the room a living look. Even plants should not have sharp leaves.
When setting up your living room, try to avoid sharp corners in the furniture.
Electrical appliances have a great influence on the activation of energy in an apartment. They need to be placed in the areas of wealth, love, children and careers. These sectors most often require increased stimulation. The Family area in the living room should be equipped with a cozy sofa and decorated with flowers. This will allow you to achieve harmony in the relationship.
Feng Shui living room arrangement
Feng shui for the kitchen
The kitchen is where the family hearth is located. He must also be given due attention. If the kitchen is located correctly, then the design will not take much time. It is enough to arrange the objects as needed.
Arrangement of furniture in the kitchen according to Feng Shui
- The hearth or slab is set in the south.
- The southeast is set aside for the refrigerator.
- A piece of wood must be placed between the ice and the flame.
- The two main elements of a kitchen must be kept clean at all times.
The rules apply not only to large, but also to small items and utensils. Stabbing, cutting tools and spoons must be hidden in cabinets. Electrical appliances tend to stimulate energy, so they must be placed in stagnant zones. You cannot cook with your back to the door. This affects the quality of the food. The light in the room should be placed in such a way that there are no dark corners. There is fire and water in the kitchen, so you need to dilute them with wood. This element in the interior brings energy to balance.
All corners of the kitchen must be well lit
Feng shui for bathroom
Water has a very powerful force. Her energy can make a person rich or completely ruin him. Bathroom and toilet doors must always be tightly closed. It is preferable if they are painted white or shades of blue.
One of the main conditions for the arrangement of a bathroom and toilet is the complete serviceability of all plumbing. The water flowing out of the tap can carry away money, fame, health and all other benefits. The doors of these rooms should open outward.
The bathroom door must open outward
There are no unimportant and unimportant corners in the apartment. Each of them contains powerful streams of energy that must be activated correctly.
The Power of Feng Shui Mirrors
In many beliefs, mirrors have magical powers, and oriental practices have not ignored them. Feng Shui of an apartment assumes their correct placement in order to achieve a positive result and advance in life. The main point in this is given to what the mirror reflects. According to the canons of Eastern practice, it should not be located in the following places:
- Opposite the outlet openings. Energy of strength, wealth and happiness leave through windows and doors.
- To keep love, you need to remove the mirrors from the bedroom. If they are needed there, then the reflection should not represent the bed.
- To prevent the housewife from feeling tired, the mirror should not be located in the kitchen, opposite the stove.
Feng Shui mirror placement
In order for the Feng Shui of an apartment to be observed, you need to know where the mirror surfaces should be placed.
- If you can see the kitchen table in the reflection, where the whole family gathers, this allows you to attract wealth and prosperity.
- A mirrored hallway will expand the boundaries of space and, as a result, your own horizons.
A mirrored hallway will expand horizons
In order not to lose part of your soul, you cannot look into a cracked or broken mirror. It must be thrown away immediately after washing. Practitioners argue that information about the owner is deleted in this way.
Feng Shui loves cleanliness. Mirrors, placed correctly, but dirty and dusty, will only do harm. Washing them will get rid of negative energy. When buying rare copies, you need to be careful. There is a memory in the mirror that can bring trouble to the new owner.
Keep your mirrors clean
Feng Shui zones in an apartment
For a happy and fulfilling life, according to Taoist practice, it is necessary to observe the Feng Shui zones in the apartment. Each of them has a different color palette and must contain a special character. This helps to open the flow of positive energies and change the lives of the inhabitants of the dwelling in the right direction. There are several main areas:
- Wealth;
- Love and marriage;
- Health;
- Careers;
- Wisdom and knowledge;
- Assistants and Travel;
- Families;
- Children and Creativity;
- Glory.
Division into zones according to Feng Shui
Each zone requires attention. If you follow all the advice of practice, you can find yourself in the epicenter of positive energies.
How to distribute Feng Shui zones in an apartment
Everyone who has decided to distribute zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui should get acquainted with the Bagua grid, which reflects eight aspects of human life. According to Eastern teachings, they are the most important and constitute the circle of interests of everyone.
There is an ancient legend about this. About two thousand years ago, a turtle appeared on the seashore. On her carapace were depicted trigrams corresponding to the nine aspects of life. Fu Xi, the great sage, managed to unravel the divine message. This is how people got the Bagua mesh. Now, in order to influence your life, you need to purposefully direct your energies to the right part of the room.
Bagua mesh
In order to correctly find the zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui, you need to find a house plan, a compass and a Bagua grid. A large-scale image will help you quickly orient yourself on the ground. What should be done?
- It is easier to start the delimitation process from the north. To find it accurately, you need to use a compass.
- The apartment plan must be divided into nine equal parts.
- If you superimpose the compass readings on the plan, then the quarry zone will be located exactly to the north. This landmark and Bagua grid will help distribute all the other squares.
Finding zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui is not as difficult as activating their work. This will require a lot of symbolic crystals and even more practical knowledge.
