| ROOM SETTINGS |
Our homes and offices, in line with Feng shui philosophy, can be thought of as a metaphor for or lives. A cluttered house is a cluttered mind. Get rid of the old and make room for the new! Therefore, according the Feng shui, the perfect entry is one that is clear of clutter and obstruction. Trim back all hedges and make sure that the path to your door is clear, open and well defined. The stove is a central focus in a Chinese kitchen. If your back is to the door when you are cooking, place a mirror behind the stove to give you a view of who is entering the kitchen. The chef's energy is imparted into the food, so for this reason, pay special attention to your mood when you cook. Rotate your use of burners for prosperity. Bedrooms are sanctuaries for privacy, peace, protection and intimacy. Placing objects in pairs in this room is thought to increase marital harmony and balance (candlesticks, vases, etc.). Be sure to place the bed in the position that has the most commanding view of the doorway (the mouth of Chi). We are in a vulnerable state while sleeping and it is important that this area affords our being safety and support. |
