Feng Shui Tips
When you first look at a structure, take a good look at its exterior features and ask yourself the following questions:
-
Does it look balanced? Is it pleasing to the eye? If it is then it denotes good feng shui
-
Does it look stable? Is it crooked? Leaning on one side? Solid foundations are part of good feng shui.
-
Does it make sense? For instance, make sure the bathroom is not in the center of the living room. If the house has a bizarre or chaotic design to it or boasts too many additions then it is considered to be bad feng shui.
-
Is it too top heavy or bottom heavy? The house should feel like it is in proportion. Avoid houses supported on pillars or houses with a first floor that seems to be supporting heavy arbors.
-
Are the front steps, porch and front door in good shape? If the entrance of the home is dilapidated crooked or smothered in brambles or bushes than those elements will have to be renovated or re-thought to encourage good feng shui.
Design Elements to avoid:
-
Avoid a house with dark, narrow, or maze-like hallways, and steep stairways. These generate negative energy.
-
Bedroom Feng Shui suggests that oversized windows might look glamorous but they also leak positive energy and offer poor protection for the occupants.
-
Stairs that face an entrance can route unpredictable and destructive energy directly to the upper levels and cause good chi to tumble down the stairs and out the front door!
-
Triangular spaces are considered to be shar chi. The “poison arrows” of the triangle shape create aggressive energy in the home.
-
Inside the house, exposed beams are considered unlucky and inhibit chi movement. They create the feeling of the weight of the world on one’s shoulders. Ways to fix the negative effects of beams include hanging a small Pa-Kua in the center of the beam, or two small flutes with tassels. Flutes or hollow flumes (such as bamboo stalks) represent the air element.
-
Avoid a house whose front door faces oncoming traffic. An example is a house that is sitting at the top middle of a T shaped intersection or a house that is hidden in the curve of a road.
