ABC’s of Fine Design

Are you looking to gain back the good times you once had? When you had money and time to do things. Your job was going good and you didn’t have to worry about the mortgage? There may be a great secret that fung shui holds to help you get that back. This is not a grantee but it doesn’t hurt to try does it?

Reverse your fortune.

Start by checking out your front door. Is there a bunch of junk near it or did you add something there recently that was suppose to improve the look? Take it down and clean it up. The next area you need to look in is the corners of your home. Corners seem to be the place where we stick things we don’t really need. The problem is that when we do this we keep the good fortune that comes from these areas from being let out and able to help us.  You can have things in these areas, such as a decorative item, but make sure there is no clutter or that the items don’t block the flow of Chi.

With spring on the way many people are thinking about spring cleaning. I was just reading a blog about spring cleaning, it was for your blog, but it got me thinking about home spring cleaning.

In fung shui a clean home is a huge advantage to a not so clean home, but when you do spring cleaning you can also help make your chi even better by doing a cleaning ritual. The one I have chosen to talk about today is the use of incense. After you have cleaned your home use incense to cleans the chi. You can do this by lighting the incense and walking around the room clockwise three times. This helps to burn off the bad chi. There are two more steps to this process, check back next week for the second one.

For the inbetween Fridays of the now once a month Furniture Friday I will be having fung shui Fridays. All this will be is a short post with one or two fung shui tips for your home. I hope you enjoy!

Fung shui tip

If you have a stair case facing directly out your door you are letting out the good chi. To stop this you can place a bright light or a screen between the stairs and the door.

The stairs should also not face a toilet, a mirror or a bedroom.

The Bagua map is a very useful tool in feng shui. It is used to show where the 5 elements should be placed in your home, office and your yard, yes you can even Feng Shui your yard.

The sections area as follows: I will go into more detail on each on later

The north element is water, water can be represented in paintings, by small or large fountains or by a fish tank, make sure that the water is kept moving if it’s not it will harm you instead of help you. The north color is black , use this colors in the north area of your home or room. The north section effects your career and life path, keep this area well kept if your looking for a promotion.

The Northeast Element is Earth, you want to perk up this area if you are looking to get better grades in school, or are looking for the knowledge you need for a promotion. The color to use here is blue, but you can also use black and green.

When you want to improve your family ties, have better luck having children, or just looking to improve your sex life, look to the east. The color here is green, you can also use black or blue. The best Element for this area is wood, but you can also use water.

The Southeast area is the “I want money!” area, if you are looking for wealth perk this area up by using wood or water elements, and these colors, purple, green and gold.

The south part of your home, office or yard is in my opinion, the most important one, This area effect your reputation. If you want that promotion, or just to be liked more, this is the area you need to improve. The element here is fire, use red or green in this area.

If you are looking for love and friendship, the southwest area is where you want to perk things up. Earth is the element here and it can be very helpful, use red and pink colors here.

The west is one of the most powerful areas, I think because of what it helps with, Children problems and creativity. If your children are not getting along with you or other children perk up this area. Use metal, for your element and white for your color.

I will be posting more about each area in separate post, so keep checking back, If you have any questions please feel free to ask me. If I don’t know the answer, I will try to find it!
