Feng Shui
Ancient Chinese philosophy is an inspiration to some people and mere
superstition to others. There is a lot of interest in the practice of
Feng Shui, both in the East and in the West. The guidelines affect every
aspect of life for those who believe in it. Recently, the New Age
movement has been influenced by elements such as wind chimes and
crystals.
The energy flow or lack of it is the core of the philosophy. How objects
are placed in relation to each other dictates this flow and has a
positive or negative impact on the environment. The quality of the
energy affects relationships, finance and health. Many people arrange
the contents of their homes, following the rules and recommendations of
Feng Shui.
Different rooms in the house have different requirements and cannot be
treated in the same way. The bedroom should have just one door and the
bed must not be placed in between the door and the window as this will
result in troubled sleep. The bed should be constructed from wood and
inhabitants should sleep at least 45cm above the floor and be facing the
door. Mirrors and pictures of wild animals or water should be avoided.
Thick curtains should drape the window and the walls should be painted
in red, blue or green shades.
In the kitchen, the cooker and sink should not be adjacent as the
proximity of fire and water can lead to conflict. Cookers should be
positioned in the south corner, the room must have a wide entrance and
microwaves are not recommended. Feng Shui is also applied to dining
rooms and living rooms. There must be at least one wall without a window
and the paintwork must be in bright colors. Elements that bring luck
include mirrors to reflect food on the table, the hanging of family
pictures and television sets or hi-fi systems that stand at the west
wall.
Even the smallest room in the house, containing the toilet, has
guidelines. To keep out negative energy, the toilet lid and door must be
kept shut. The room must always be clean and it's bad luck to have
plants or pictures. Stairs must be brightly lit as a dark stairway can
bring negative energy. Good fortune will fall through open stairs and a
spiral staircase will bring confusion. Entrance halls should also be
brightly lit but be painted in muted colors. They should be warm and can
be decorated with plants or water features. It's fun to experiment with
Feng Shui and see its affects, if any.
