Feng Shui TIPS FOR THE HOME
IN THE BEDROOM
The bedroom is your sanctuary and should be a calm and restful place.
• Place your bed with the head against a solid wall, not under a window.
• Don’t place your bed with the feet pointing towards the door; this is called the “funeral position”.
• Find out your good directions according to your Kua Number and place your bed with the headboard facing one of these directions.
• This also applies to children’s bedrooms – and it can instantly turn kids into good sleepers!
WORKING FROM HOME
Not everybody has a home office but even if you just use a small work corner or the dining table, there are feng shui rules for creating a space where you can focus and be productive and successful.
• Sit with your back to a wall.
• Choose the “command position” from which you have a good view of the room, including the door.
• Hang a mountain picture behind your seat to receive continued support from your superiors.
• Check there are no “poison arrows” coming from sharp corners pointing at you when you sit at your work station.
• Facing one of your auspicious directions, especially your “Success” direction, would of course be a great advantage!
Bringing feng shui into your home doesn’t mean you have to completely revamp your space. According to LUCY RICHARDSON of Feng Shui Focus, small changes can make a huge difference. Here are her easy-to-follow tips:
SAFEGUARDING YOUR HEALTH
To protect your family’s health, you need to locate the East sector of your house or apartment, as this is connected to health luck.
• Use wooden furniture in your East room or add objects made of wood.
• Place plants in your East (but not in a bedroom), ideally upward-growing plants with rounded leaves.
• If neither is possible, using the colour green is a good alternative.
