Hi, Ken Lauher from kenlauher.com. In Feng Shui as in life, certain factors or areas must take priority over others. In Feng Shui, the three most important areas of a home or apartment are the main door, the kitchen and the bedroom. If positive energy or chi collects outside and flows in this spaces, you’ll bring money and opportunities in your life. If these areas are affected by a lack of chi, or negative chi, any other positive changes you make won’t have as much of an impact. Now what I want to do is actually explore basic ways you can use Feng Shui for these 3 areas.
Feng Shui for your front door represents the way life comes to us; our opportunities and possibilities. It represents the young dimension of experience. It’s important to have a good main door and entrance to allow money, wealth and opportunities to come in your space in your life. Now if the chi or life energy is not able to get into your house to circulate freely, it’s not going to matter much what else is going on in your space or what else you’re doing.
The main door is also what’s called the chi mouth of the house. So make sure nothing is repelling, expelling or blocking the chi from entering the house. Additionally, make sure no objects that exude shah or killing chi points in the front door. This may include a corner of a building from across the street, a T intersection that’s coming right up against your door; an item that’s blocking your door or directly in line with your front door.
The questions ask yourself regarding these items is how far is it actually from your property or from your door? So, to evaluate your entrance, stand at the front door, look out and verify that there are no trees, lamp post, mail boxes, pillars, planters or any other items that sit directly in line with the door. These items can have an impact on your ability to take advantage of incoming chi and may negatively affect and impact the health of your household. Now, also what you want to do is do the opposite, stand outside your front door and actually look into your home or your apartment. This area directly in front of the property is called the break hall or the Ming Tam. Now chi settles here and collects before the residents receive it. Make sure the chi can collect in circling; avoid placing anything here that repels, squeezes or blocks the chi from entering the space.
What I want to move on to now is actually the Feng Shui of your kitchen. Now, the kitchen specifically the stove, represents our source of food and our ability to gain food thorough our work and careers. Now, the stove has a great deal to do with our public life, our career, the recognition we receive and the ability to manifest our goals and our dreams. As a result, make sure the top of the stove is clean and all the burners are working correctly. Use your stove regularly and even if it’s just boiled water or you’re cooking something very quickly, it’s okay. Just make sure that you begin to use the burners. And try to use all the burners rather than your favorite burner.
Now if there is poor chi in the kitchen, this could result in career issues, money difficulties and bad health. Now let’s move on to Feng Shui in your bedroom; now we spend 1/3 of our lives in the bedroom. It’s a space to heal, rejuvenate and relax and proving our health and vitality. A bed is energetically connected to each of us. Sleep is the yin condition, that the bed shelters, comforts and enables us to truly rest, illustrates its great importance. So when evaluating this space, look at not only how the chi is entering the room but evaluate where your bed is located in relation to the incoming chi and what you want to do is rightly put your bed in what called the command position; so you’re not in direct lying with the door but you still have a view of the door.
You don’t want to be on the same wall as the door is. Your bedroom should be square or rectangle, this represents the ability that makes the room suitable for sleeping. So avoid rooms that are round, L-shaped, triangular or other odd shapes as they don’t allow the balance flow of chi. So what I want to do is invite you to learn more and with free Feng Shui tips and daily words of wisdom a kenlauher.com and look forward to seeing you again soon.
