The North direction in Feng Shui practice.

In general, for Feng Shui scholars, the North direction is related to Water element and is also associated with certain areas of life, such as: career, clear and defined path, journey, good ability to communicate internally and externally, etc.

So once you find the North side of your office or home, observe how energy flows in this area and try to stimulate it placing a water element object, such as art using black and dark blue colors, pictures of water, materials such as mirrors, glass, aquariums and all that can relate to water, this could enhance luck and opportunity in your career.

The placement of fountains, particularly, should be carefully thought with a Feng Shui specialist, making sure this strong element is definitely bringing beneficial energy and not the opposite.

Low ceilings in the bedroom.

In the ancient art of Feng Shui, low ceilings in the bedroom could cause too much pressure over our heads, sometimes causing discomfort or even headaches and insomnia.

Very often it’s difficult to find the “perfect Feng Shui”, as well as, there are no perfect solutions, only a deeper search for what’s best for our well being is possible.

So, in this case, it would be better to change the bed to another room or part of the room where the ceiling is higher and where energy flow is better.

Instead, try placing a dresser for example, since it wouldn’t be a place where we spend a lot of time like the bed and so it shouldn’t interfere with our sleep.

Clocks and Feng Shui.

Feng Shui practice takes into consideration, not only the space and the environment around us, but also the passage of time, such as the seasons, the years, the months, the days, and yes even the hours.

Many Feng Shui scholars take this matter very seriously, adding another layer of information that could be useful for those who are interested in having a more complete study.

So, when you have a broken clock that no longer has purpose, keep in mind that for Feng Shui practice, the unnecessary objects without being used could bring a stagnant energy.

This particular object also represents the passage of time, so when it stops it may no longer bring flow and movement to the space or direction where it’s located, and consequently, to the inhabitants life.
