BAGUA

The magic square or Bagua, is also used by some Feng Shui practitioners as another tool for a more intuitive approach, this extra layer of information is a great way to complete any space interpretation.

Placing correctly the Bagua over the house or business plant, is the first step to decipher the energetic characteristics of the space.

Each section will correspond to a different area, and when matching this information, we should be able to evaluate in which parts of the home we can improve the energy, and consequently, which parts of our own life.

What Feng Shui tells about objects above and below the bed?

According to most of the experts in this matter, it’s not a good idea to place something heavy above your bed, even books on shelves or a big heavy piece of art, this might create an unstable energy that can disturb a proper sleep.

Also beneath the bed you might check if the energy is flowing in a way that is possible to clean all the dust that is usually there.

If you keep objects under the bed, only bed clothing is preferable, and properly organized and clean of course.

Beware that where you sleep is actually the place where we all spend most of the time in our homes, so the energy of this environment can have a big influence in your well being.

How important are front doors in Feng Shui?

Front doors are one of the most important aspects of a Feng Shui study.

Not only because they represent the “mouth” of the home, where most of the energy enters, but also because they separate the outside world from our inside universe.

While visiting Dublin city I took this picture and noticed most of the front doors are made of solid wood and each one with its own color, red, blue, yellow, black, pink, you name it, this is mostly for habitants to identify more easily their homes.

A red door like this for example, could be great for a South front house and adding this 2 plants on each side helps even more to bring balance to the front door.

So in order to welcome a positive energy to your front door:

  • Have a clear path, free from obstacles;
  • Guests should find your home easily;
  • The door should open smoothly with no difficulty;
  • Everything should be functioning properly, like the door bell, the lock, etc.

Check this general recommendations about your front door and always work with a professional Feng Shui consultant for better results.

Do you love fresh flowers at home?

Do you love fresh flowers at home?

Placing fresh flowers to bring your home a reinvigorating environment, is a great way to shift quickly the energy flow.

Fresh flowers are considered Yang energy, so most of the times they should be placed in more active rooms, such as dining, living rooms and entry halls.

Avoid them in the bedrooms where the energy should be calmer,unless somebody is convalescent or sick, in this case it will be great to elevate that person’s condition.

One important aspect of the flowers is that as soon as they start to wither, we should throw them out immediately, just like dry leaves, they represent stagnant and lifeless energy.

When choosing types and colors, choose according to your personal taste or with the direction in which it will be placed, like this example of yellow flowers at Northeast, one of the colors of the Earth element.
