Have you heard of the ancient pseudoscience of Feng Shui? It was developed in 4000 B.C. and historically was used in many hallowed structures as a guide to orienting the contents of a building in such a way as to collect and circulate energy or chi. More recently it has grown in popularity as a way of arranging the contents of one’s home. It can be a very complex process but here are a few simple Do’s and Don’ts.

Do

• Always keep bathroom doors closed and toilet seats down. This relates to the ancient belief that water and wealth coincide, you do not want water/wealth escaping your home.
• Use Crystals to generate energy, in spots that may be lacking.
• Have a nice fountain or aquarium to generate good energy.
• Utilise symbols such as Buddha, lucky bamboo, Fu dog, or dragon statures as talismans for good energy.

Don’t

• Place your chair facing away from the door in a home office as it does not put you in a commanding position.
• Place a baby bed near the door or electrical devices as electronics are thought to put an electromagnetic energy around the child.
• Neglect to use mirrors to activate, circulate, expand and deflect energy.
• Forget to apply Feng Shui to less used rooms, as all parts of the home need to incorporate the practice to generate good energy.
