Everything is made up of energy. Feng Shui, the Chinese Art of Placement is a methodology that strives to achieve the optimal flow of Chi (life force energy) by the strategic placement of objects and furniture.
- House numbers on the outside of your house should angle slightly upward from beginning to end. It encourages prosperity.
- Plants should never touch the outside of the house.
- Wind chimes are good outside the front door.
- If the first room you enter from the front door is the kitchen, you'll gain weight while living in this house. Try to partition off your entry so you don't go directly into the kitchen if possible.
- The front door should be solid wood. No glass!
- Keep the entire house and garage clear of clutter.
- Exposed ceiling beams cause a disruption in the flow of Chi. To lessen the effect, hang bamboo flutes at right angles where each beam meets the wall.
- In the kitchen, keep the stove immaculately clean to increase prosperity.
- If there is a fan, microwave or anything else hanging over the stove - hang a small bell there to keep your money from escaping up the vent.
- If your stove and sink are directly across from each other, hang a small crystal between them to reduce arguments between the husband and wife.
- If you can see the back door from your front door, hang a mirror over the inside of the back door to keep the Chi from escaping.
