My home is my castle. The more comfortable, friendly and favorable it is, the more successful our life is. Undoubtedly, the goodwill of our fortress depends primarily on its household members. However, according to the ancient Chinese teachings of Feng Shui, the auspiciousness of our home depends on the harmony of man and the surrounding space. If this harmony exists, then your life is a constant non-stop flow - in your personal life, in health, in business. And if something goes wrong, you can contact a Feng Shui master, who will individually adjust the flow of energy in your home, and harmony will return to life. But when there is no opportunity to contact a master - paid Feng Shui consultations do not fit into your cost planning - our advice can be useful. They are common and universal for everyone, and since all houses are individual, you still have to walk around the apartment with a compass. I would like to note that in the process of creating harmony at home, following the rules of Feng Shui, there are a lot of pleasant moments. For example, throwing out old things, moving furniture and decorating the apartment with beautiful and mysterious objects.
Start small - spring cleaning
Firstly, you will be surprised how much your living space will increase as a result of getting rid of trash and junk. They say that if you don't use something for a year, you should think about the need to store it. Of course, this does not apply to your favorite childhood toys that guarded your dreams from kindergarten to high school, to your first grade diary, to your first love letters, etc. This is already a historical relic. But the inserts of the “Turbo” and “Love is...” chewing gums can be safely thrown away.
Corners, mezzanines, niches, cabinets should not be filled to capacity with things, especially those not in use. In such places you need to clean more often and throw away everything unnecessary. It is very important that the house is clean, as negative energy accumulates in dirty places, affecting the health and well-being of the family. Secondly, if you have broken appliances or broken things in your house, be sure to fix them. Even a small watch that has stopped and is now lying in the far corner of your desk drawer can negatively affect your life. Check for burnt out light bulbs in lighting fixtures. Do not keep broken, cracked or glued dishes in the house. Even if this thing is very dear to you, it is better to get rid of it.
Take a critical look at your flower “plantations.” Are there dry or dying plants in your home? If there are, then get rid of them without regret, otherwise, instead of the beneficial energy of growth created by healthy flowers, you will receive the painful energy of withering.
A compass will help you find luck
Now let's delve into the teachings of Feng Shui and get acquainted with the magical Bagua octagon. This is such a nice regular octagon, in each sector of which there is a trigram. According to Feng Shui, everything that happens in life can be divided into nine aspects of life: wealth, fame, love and marriage; family, health, children and creativity; wisdom and knowledge; career, assistants and travel. All these nine categories, combined together in a specific order, form Bagua. Each part has its own compass direction, its own color, its own element and its own trigram.
You can apply this magical octagon to the plan of your house, apartment, or even a separate room. This way you can determine where each Bagua sector is, what it means and how to activate it to achieve your goals.
To determine this or that zone of your home, you will need the most common compass, a scale plan of your home and a Bagua grid (see table).
If you're ready, pick up a compass. Now you must determine the main parameter of your home from the point of view of Feng Shui - the direction of the front door. This is where you look from the house. Stand facing the front door and wait until the arrow calms down. Let me remind you that the red arrow always points north. Now mentally draw a perpendicular from the center of the compass to your front door. This imaginary line shows the true direction of your front door.
Now you need to draw the apartment plan into nine equal parts and align compass north with north on the plan. Are you oriented to the area? Amazing! Now carefully enter all the compass directions into the plan of your apartment and begin to evaluate the condition of the different zones of your apartment with the tenacious eye of a Feng Shui specialist.
A difficulty you may encounter is the problem of missing corners. After all, our apartments and houses do not always have the shape of regular squares or rectangles. Therefore, when applying the Bagua grid to the house plan, you may find out that one or even several sectors of the Bagua grid are missing. This negatively affects the quality of Feng Shui, but the missing angle can always be compensated, because Feng Shui corrects space not so much by changing the shape of the room, but by symbols.
So, as I already mentioned, each Bagua sector and each zone symbolizes one of the 9 aspects of life. Now you can determine which zone to tackle first in order to realize your most pressing desires.
Wealth Zone
As you can see from the Bagua grid, the zone of wealth is the southeast. If this sector is activated, Feng Shui promises abundance and prosperity. The color of this zone is green and purple, and the element is wood. To activate a tree, water is needed, as it nourishes it. The energy of water in Feng Shui is perhaps the main symbol of money. The most powerful representatives of this element of the elements in Feng Shui are sources of “living” water - waterfalls, fountains and aquariums. It is they, and especially the first two types (an endless variety of which you will find in stores), that are responsible for attracting additional funds and symbolically creating a source of wealth. If you want to use an aquarium for the same purposes, then it is better to choose one that you can keep open - the water hidden under the lid does not have the same force as that which is in direct contact with the air of the room. Make sure that the water in it is always clean, since dirty and stagnant water, instead of abundance, brings financial problems.
You can also activate the wealth zone with the help of talismans. One of them is a model of a sailboat. This is a wonderful talisman that attracts good luck in business. For it to work effectively, it is necessary that the sailboat faces the inside of the house, that is, it “sails” and provides you with uninterrupted cash flows.
Many successful businessmen do not hide the fact that they use Chinese coins to attract monetary luck. These round coins with square holes in the center, depicting hieroglyphs or magical animals can now be purchased at any souvenir store. The easiest way to use them is to tie three coins with a red ribbon so that the hieroglyphs are on top and place them in your wealth sector. And one more piece of advice: do not keep money in unfavorable places, for example in the toilet, otherwise you will constantly lose it in life.
Glory Zone
The fame sector in the south is responsible for success in life, achieving popularity and moving up the social ladder. The zone element is fire and the color is red. The most effective fire talismans are associated with open fire - fireplaces, candles and aroma lamps. For example, to enhance the energy of fire, you can use red candles. Just keep in mind that the energy is activated by the flame, and not by the candles themselves, so don’t be lazy about lighting them at least once a week.
Zone of love and marriage
In the southwest there is a zone of love and marriage. It contains enormous potential that can improve your love, sexual and social relationships with people. Its element is Earth and its color is terracotta. Traditional talismans of the Love zone are, first of all, paired items. They are great at activating romantic luck. It doesn’t matter what kind of pairs they are. A pair of pillows, for example, will work just as well as a pair of candlesticks with candles, and a pair of dolphins will be just as good as a pair of crystal eggs. This could be a photo of you, where you are together and happy, or figures of a boy and a girl kissing. Now, just don’t forget to periodically look at your “love corner”, imagining your dream realized, and your wish will surely come true. It is also desirable to have flowers - real or images - in the Love zone. It’s good to hang “wind chimes” here with heart-shaped pendants. Chocolate, chocolate candies and everything connected with them would be appropriate in the Love sector, because these are symbols of romantic relationships.
Children and creativity zone
This zone is located in the west of the Bagua grid. Its element is Metal and its colors are white, metallic, gold and silver.
Everything that has to do with children (yours, others, future and present) is presented here. The happiness of motherhood, caring for the health, development and well-being of children is a very important aspect in the life of every person. This is also a creative zone. If you feel the need to express yourself, then it is important to activate this sector. The traditional talisman for this zone is airy wind chimes. These jingling straws can be purchased at any gift shop. Just be careful: air bells should have full tubes, no sharp corners or sharp design details. Not everyone who makes “wind chimes” knows Feng Shui. Also, by the way, figurines (netsuke) of children are suitable for this zone. They symbolize happiness, heavenly protection and protection for young children.
Zone of assistants, mentors and successful travels
In the Bagua grid this is northwest. The element is metal and the color is white, metallic, gold and silver. This zone affects the owner of the house the most, and is also associated with people who help you on your life path: mentors, colleagues, managers. When properly activated, the sector helps you gain the favor of people important to you, as well as help from the most unexpected sources. This zone is also responsible for travel. Therefore, if you dream of going on a cruise, I advise you to pay special attention to it.
Traditional talismans for this zone are portraits of people and images of those whom you consider to be your earthly and heavenly patrons: figurines or paintings of angels, icons, portraits of true friends, portraits of people famous and authoritative for you.
Career and life path zone
This zone is located in the north. Its element is Water and its colors are black, blue and cyan.
Everything that has to do with your work and career is presented in this sector. Activating it will help you climb the career ladder, get the job you want, change your profession, and increase your earnings. Another interpretation of the northern sector is the path of life. This is why it is very useful to analyze this area. If in your house it ends up in a hallway lit by a dim light bulb housing your school-era bicycle, then most likely you will have difficulty achieving your goals.
The most common traditional talisman for the Career zone is considered to be a turtle - a symbol of heavenly support, protection, wisdom and longevity. She is considered the image of the Universe: her shell is the vault of heaven, and her belly is the earth's surface. It brings money and support from influential people. The more turtles in your house, the more luck!
To activate the energy of water, the “mistress” of the quarry area, you can turn to the already mentioned fountains, waterfalls and aquariums. Also, the element of water can be represented by a painting or photograph with a landscape of water.
Zone of wisdom and knowledge
In the Bagua grid, this is northeast. The element is earth and the colors are beige and all shades of brown. Helps achieve success in learning and retain acquired knowledge. Activating this zone will help you improve yourself, become wiser, and a sage can have everything, including money, power, and love. Traditional talismans of this zone: crystals and figurines or images of a snake. The latter is a symbol of perpetual motion and renewal of the universe. In the East, she is also a symbol of female beauty. “You are as beautiful as a snake” is a very flattering compliment for a woman. But most often the snake represents wisdom and deep knowledge. This sector can also be activated with the help of a globe, ceramic and porcelain vases and figurines.
Family zone
This zone is in the east. Its element is Wood and its color is green.
Family affairs and relationships of all members of the clan are represented in this sector. If you activate it, you can significantly improve the family climate and even help add to your family. The classic mascot of the zone is the green dragon. He personifies power, wisdom and kindness. An excellent talisman here can be family photographs where each family member looks content and happy.
Health zone
This zone is located in the center of the Bagua grid. Its element is earth and its color is terracotta.
Since this sector is in the center, it comes into contact with all other sectors, connects and unites them. And in fact, if there is no health, then there is no joy from anything.
Classic symbols of health and longevity are peaches. In China, it is believed that these fruits should be given to a sick person as a gift. Cranes are also a favorite symbol of this zone. Especially those depicted against a pine tree background. In the center of the house it is very useful to place all sorts of funny things and humorous pictures, books with cartoons, videotapes with comedies. Laughter is the best medicine. Also, if it is appropriate in your apartment, Feng Shui advises installing a large dining table. He will become a wonderful talisman.
Now think about what you want most. Don't have enough money to buy a new TV? Take on the Wealth sector. Can't cope with the overwhelming amount of work? The Helpers sector is at your service. Are your relationships with the opposite sex not working out? Activate the Love sector. Looking for a job? Pay attention to the Career sector. In general, there are no goals, aspirations and desires that Feng Shui cannot help fulfill. No wonder the wise Chinese have been using the knowledge of Feng Shui for thousands of years!
Create “good Feng Shui” in the bedroom
I think that one of your favorite places in the apartment is the bedroom. This is the most important room for health, since this is where you spend about a third of your life. How to achieve comfort and harmony in this room?
To begin with, of course, it is necessary to determine the main purposes of using this room. If you are more inclined towards relaxation and sleep, then it is better to decorate the bedroom in soft colors so that the relaxing yin energy can manifest itself more strongly. If, on the contrary, you want to make the most of the active use of your bedroom, so that you don’t even want to sleep, use bright yang colors that help you not succumb to fatigue. You may find it makes more sense to go with an overall pastel design with a little pop of color thrown in. If necessary, you can easily increase their number by using, for example, candles, flowers, or even “randomly” left clothes.
There are several taboos related to the bedroom. The number of plants should be kept to a minimum, especially all climbing plants should be excluded. According to Feng Shui, during sleep they take away energy from a person. Therefore, if your window sill looks like a botanical garden and is entirely covered with flowerpots with vegetation, then at night, isolate yourself from the window and greenery with thick curtains. In addition, you cannot place an aquarium or other “aquatic” objects in the bedroom - this has a detrimental effect on romantic luck. By the way, a computer and TV located in the bedroom, especially opposite the bed, have a similar effect. Therefore, Feng Shui advises getting rid of them in the bedroom first. According to Feng Shui, the same energy “vampire” in the bedroom is mirrors. Under no circumstances should you hang mirrors so that sleeping people are reflected in them. But, if you really need a mirror in the bedroom, then hang it with some beautiful scarf or just fabric. And be sure to remove the shelves above your bed and move it out of the corner - you’ll immediately start getting enough sleep, and the sex will become enchanting.

What do you know about Feng Shui talismans? (this is interesting)
Feng Shui with talismans, symbols, tips has long ceased to be unfamiliar to us. We receive and give each other beautiful and unusual pyramids, bells, netsuke, money toads and other little things with wishes of happiness, prosperity and all those benefits that we ourselves need, and which we do not regret for our family and friends.
But often we do not understand the symbolism of Feng Shui talismans, we do not even know how to properly place the talisman in our home. It may happen that the apartment is a real museum of amulets, but luck and prosperity do not increase.
If you want to choose a Feng Shui talisman as a gift for the New Year, then don’t grab the first thing you come across that you like. First you need to figure out what exactly you are missing right now or what wishes you have for those people to whom you intend the talisman as a gift. And then study the meaning of the figure or object you like.
But this is not enough for the talisman to bring good luck. It is important to choose the right place for it. And to do this, you need to know which aspects of life correspond to the different zones in your home. Arm yourself with a compass, and Feng Shui will help you decide.
Center is a health zone, and the most traditional talisman for this zone is netsuke in the form of a wise old man. Fu-hsin, Lu-hsin, Shou-hsin - the figures of these elders symbolize prosperity and longevity. In this area you can place images and figurines of cranes, which according to Feng Shui symbolize a happy and long life.
Southeast considered a wealth zone. Here it is customary to lay out symbols of wealth - Chinese coins with a square hole in the center and hieroglyphs along the edges, which are best tied with a red ribbon (three coins are enough). There is also a place for a popular talisman - a money toad with a coin in its mouth, and it is best to place it on the desktop.
In the zone of wealth there is a perfect place for the symbol of good luck according to Feng Shui - a boat. It is believed that goods and money are transported on it, so you need to turn its nose towards the inside of the house, then good luck will come to you on this boat. Good luck is also represented by netsuke - figurines of Chinese gods and animals. The most famous of them is Hottei, the god of happiness, prosperity, fun and carefree. It is believed that if three hundred times
rub Hottei on the stomach, thinking about something good, your wish will definitely come true! Daikoku, the god of prosperity, also brings wealth. He is usually depicted with a mallet, a rat and a bag of magic rice.
In the wealth zone, according to Feng Shui, there is a place for figurines or images of a dog, bull, goldfish, wooden wind chimes or amethyst crystals.
South According to Feng Shui, it is considered a zone of glory. The energy of prosperity is activated by the symbols of glory and success placed in this zone. This is an image and figures of the Phoenix, the king of all winged creatures, a rooster, an eagle, and a peacock. According to Feng Shui, fame and fame are brought by images and figurines of horses and twisted shells.
Southwest According to Feng Shui, it is responsible for love and marriage. If you have problems in love or family relationships, buy couples talismans. This could be a pair of dolphins, pigeons or other birds. You can give the same gift to those to whom you wish success in love or a happy family life. In addition, you should know that according to Feng Shui, the romantic side of life is activated by the color red, so use red flowers, candles, stones, lanterns, hearts in this area - these bright elements will fill your home with love and happiness.
West- an area for children and creativity, and the traditional talismans for this part of your home will be air bells and wind chimes. And the continuous movement of the metal mobile will activate creative energy in your home. According to Feng Shui, netsuke figurines in the shape of babies will protect children from diseases and other ailments.
Northwest according to Feng Shui, the zone that is responsible for your travels and trips. In this side of your home it is best to place portraits of friends, loved ones, celebrities or those whom you consider your idols and inspirations, as well as images of saints. And Feng Shui symbols - angel figurines will give you strength and inspiration.
North This is the zone that, according to Feng Shui, is responsible for your career. A talisman depicting a turtle is traditionally a symbol of wisdom, provides support in endeavors and brings wealth. If a turtle figurine has three toads on its back, then this is a symbol and wishes for a long and happy life, full of wealth and prosperity.
Northeast- zone of wisdom and knowledge. The symbol of wisdom in Feng Shui is the snake. In addition to images and figurines of a snake, crystals, a crystal ball or a globe should be placed in this zone to attract good luck - they dissipate negative energy and accumulate positive potential.
East- family zone. And the talisman - a dragon figurine, placed here, will protect your home from evil, accumulate kindness and understanding.
Lesson 38. Secret helpers of Feng Shui
Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art, and that is why many of its recommendations and practices are based on the principles of the eastern calendar. Yes, we ourselves, when talking about our zodiac sign, often mention the year of which animal we were born.
If you are still in the dark, then the table at the end of this article will help you put everything in its place
According to Chinese teaching, each zodiac sign has its own astrological friends, with whom you can not only overcome fire and water, but also overcome mountains. It is very easy to find a common language with such people, do business, start a family, etc. Masters share four main groups of friends:
Pig - Goat - Rabbit
Dog - Horse - Tiger
Snake - Rooster - Bull
Monkey - Dragon - Rat
For example, it is easiest for a person born in the year of the Dog to establish relationships with the Horse and the Tiger.
In addition to astrological friends, everyone has secret helpers of feng shui. They are also calculated according to the eastern calendar, but they are activated according to the Bagua grid.
How do secret Feng Shui helpers work?
They bring good luck and easy victory to those who take advantage of their protection. Their influence extends most of all to the area of well-being, that is, financial issues are resolved and problems that impede career advancement are eliminated. However, for some they also affect other areas, but in any case their purpose is to attract success!
Take an image or sculpture with an assistant and place it in the sector of your animal. Do not forget that Bagua is applied not only to an apartment or a separate room, but also to a shelf or desktop. That is, if you wish, you can place the assistant directly on the table at work (only in the right corner).

The masters say that secret assistant feng shui also works great if you carry a picture or pendant with his image with you. You can even hang it around your neck or attach it to a bracelet; in any case, their effect will not go unnoticed.

When arranging rooms, arranging furniture, choosing the color of the walls, most people are increasingly turning to the ancient science of Feng Shui (for a home or for a very small apartment - it doesn’t matter). After all, all these factors affect the well-being and peace of mind of the owners. By listening to the recommendations of the Feng Shui technique, a person most favorably directs the flow of life-affirming energy Qi.
Room zoning
Arranging an apartment using the Feng Shui method can not only attract Qi energy into the home, but also help “grab luck by the tail.” Ancient science allows you to increase your luck by correct zoning of the room. Determine in which area you would like to reach the top, and change your interior in accordance with the recommendations. Let's consider what the science of Feng Shui advises for the home?
The zones, according to the ancient methodology, are distinguished as follows.
Health
The eastern part of the room is responsible for it, the one where the sun rises. Green, red and black colors can enhance this zone. It is recommended to hang photographs, pictures of trees, lakes with swimming fish, and streams. Flowers and plants should be placed in this part of the apartment.
For good health, it is important to properly arrange items in the bedroom and kitchen. Taking into account the feng shui of the apartment, it is forbidden to place the refrigerator near the stove. The head of the bed (necessarily high) should be away from extraneous energy and radiation. It is not recommended to keep your phone and books near your bed.
Family and Children
The West, the place where the sun sets, is responsible for this area. It is recommended to use yellow, dark blue and white colors here. In this area, photographs of the family are hung and toys are placed. Objects made of natural stone, as well as round-shaped products, can enhance the energy in this part of the house.
Business
White, grey, blue and black colors in the northern zone or near the main entrance can improve the work environment. In this part of the house it is useful to place metals - copper, bronze, something like gold, as well as irregularly shaped products.
Love
The right corner (farthest) in each room, as well as the southwestern zone of the entire house, is responsible for matters of the heart. Here you should use the colors of the Earth - brown, yellow. Useful shades of Fire - red, pink.
Be sure to consider the fervor of your mood. Depending on it, reservoirs with bubbling and calm water, stones, and metals can be placed in the zone.
Money
Properly arranged furniture in the south-eastern zone will improve your financial situation. Pay attention to the left corners of each room. They should add red, black and green shades.
Arrange plants that have round leaves. To enhance the beneficial effect, tie the pots or the stems themselves with red ribbons. A little secret will allow you to further enhance the positive energy - place three coins under the plant.
Electrical appliances, kettles, and plants with sharp leaves should be avoided in this area.
Living room interior
What should be the location of the house according to Feng Shui? Let's start with the living room. After all, it is the heart of the house and represents a multifunctional room for the owners.
An unfavorable place for a living room is opposite the main door. It is undesirable for the window in the room to be located opposite the entrance. The most suitable option is a rectangular or square room. Semi-oval walls, non-parallel, a room with 5 corners, various projections or depressions are not the best option for a living room. But even in such a room you can eliminate the negative impact in the form of stagnation of energy.
It is very important to place furniture correctly according to Feng Shui. The energy should move smoothly without bumping into various objects and angles. Therefore, it is not recommended to place a lot of furniture in a chaotic manner in the living room. Place armchairs and sofas so that people sitting in them feel calm and confident. It is recommended to place them along the wall. Never point chairs and sofas towards a door or window. It is undesirable for the person sitting opposite the door. There is a feeling of confrontation with those people who come through the door. It is not recommended to clutter the central area of the room. But a coffee table is a completely necessary thing. The main thing is not to forget that the living room should be comfortable to move around.
Negative energy in protrusions or depressions can be neutralized by indoor plants or various draperies. In dark corners, it is recommended to periodically ring a bell or hang a wind chime. This will neutralize stagnant energy that often accumulates in such areas.
It is acceptable to use a mirror in the living room. But it should be placed so that it does not reflect the front door. The mirror should not be placed opposite the window. Otherwise, the Qi energy will be reflected very easily and instantly leave the house.
Bright colors are favorable for decorating a room. But avoid flashy colors. The living room should not feel stressful. That is why it is recommended to use various details in bright colors - pillows, talismans, fresh flowers.
Bedroom interior
This room is an intimate space in which everyone wants to feel at ease and comfortable. Feng Shui in the bedroom will help create the necessary harmony.
Dimmed light is recommended for this room. Choose furniture that has smooth shapes and does not contain sharp corners. When decorating your bedroom, use soft colors. They can be diversified with bright small objects - a decorative pillow, a night light.
The main subject of the bedroom is the bed. This is where you should start arranging the room. When choosing the most successful place, you should take into account that Feng Shui of the bedroom implies the following rules:
- The bed should not be placed opposite the door. A person should not sleep with his feet facing the exit.
- The headboard is not placed under the window. Neither the legs nor the head of a resting person should be under it.
- The bed is not placed in a corner. In such places, astral dirt accumulates, which makes sleep difficult.
The best bed position is considered to be:
- The headboard is located directly against the wall.
- Centered placement.
- Diagonal position of the bed. In this case, it is recommended to place a small object at the feet to help drain the flow of energy. This could be a screen, pouf or chest of drawers.
Electrical appliances are absolutely not welcome in the bedroom. This applies to TV, computer and other equipment. If there is nowhere to move such equipment, it must be de-energized at night. It is advisable to cover the screen and monitor with a cloth.
An important attribute of the bedroom is a mirror. But here there are also a number of rules that must be followed. The science of Feng Shui for the home recommends:
- Sleeping people should not be reflected in the mirror. It should either be hung or covered with cloth.
- A mirrored ceiling is unacceptable. It blocks man's connection with the cosmos. And this is an important component of health.
- The mirrors are not located opposite each other. This position creates a corridor for various astral entities.
- The mirror is not placed opposite the door to the room. The Qi energy will be reflected and will not enter the bedroom.
- A favorable place is the corner of the room for a mirror. This promotes the circulation of Qi energy.
- Give preference to mirrors that reflect full length. This is much better, since the crushed ones share the human energy field.
- It is not recommended to use furniture with mirror elements for the bedroom. They carry Yang energy, but Yin should predominate in the bedroom. Therefore, it is recommended to limit yourself to only those mirrors that are needed for personal care.
Books are undesirable in the bedroom, especially horror and thrillers. Open shelves are completely unacceptable. If books are stored in the bedroom, they should be placed in closed cabinets or chests of drawers.
The Feng Shui technique for the home advises not to place plants in the bedroom, since they are energy vampires and donors. In one half of the day they give Qi to the person, and in the other half they take it away. Therefore, it is better to do without plants in the bedroom or place them as far away as possible.
entrance to the house
Feng Shui recommends paying special attention to it. After all, this is the space through which Qi energy enters the home. The appearance of the door will determine whether you will attract it to your home or repel it. Therefore, it is recommended to use the following small recommendations:
- Make sure the lock is always in good working order. If it fails and is replaced with another, do not leave the broken mechanism in the door. Get rid of it by carefully sealing the remaining hole.
- Regularly monitor door hinges and lubricate them constantly. It is unacceptable for them to creak. In this case, even “wind music” will not be able to attract Qi energy.
- Choose a pleasant and melodious call. It should not irritate or frighten the owners.
- Do not allow cracks or cuts to form in the cladding. The paint should not come off the surface. Make sure that the apartment number is clearly visible.
- If a peephole is installed in the door, there should be no through holes near it. All parts are strictly adjacent to one another. It is recommended to choose a peephole with a protective coating on the inside. Such a device must always be closed and only open when necessary.
The energy penetrating into the house must have time to calm down, as it were, and only then begin its movement throughout the house. That is why it is great if there is a fenced space behind the door. If this area is cluttered, it is recommended to use light sources and mirrors to “encourage” the energy.
It is not entirely favorable if the front door is located opposite the emergency exit. After all, energy can jump through the house. To keep her in the house, you need to hang a crystal in her path or musical pendants.
Color palette
In addition to the correct placement of furniture, it is very important what kind of wallpaper will be hung. Feng Shui offers the following palette for each room or zone:
- Kitchen. According to ancient science, silver or beige colors are more suitable for this room. Red is ideal for small decorative elements.
- Bathroom. For this room, choose light wallpaper. Blue and green shades deserve special attention.
- Living room. This room should create a positive mood. Therefore, when arranging it, choose green, beige, yellow.
- Children's. It is very important to create harmony in this room and ensure a beneficial effect on the psyche. Therefore, it is recommended to use yellow and green shades. Black color is strictly prohibited.
- Bedroom. People who want their married life to roar like a volcano are advised to use pink and red tones. If the bedroom is intended more for relaxation, preference is given to calm shades such as blue and green.
Plants - pros and cons
According to Feng Shui, flowers in the house are very active objects. They can be both harmful and very useful. It depends on their condition. Flowers should always be well-groomed, pleasing to the eye and always healthy.
- Tradescantia. Capable of reflecting a positive energy microclimate.
- Geranium. A plant with powerful energy. Placement in a recreation area or bedroom is not permitted.
- Ficus. Gives household members harmony in relationships, neutralizes anger, anxiety, and aggression.
- Fern. Perfectly cleans the microclimate of the room. Absorbs negative energy.
Now let’s look at which plants according to Feng Shui are unsuitable for the home:
- Orchid. The plant can absorb human energy. In some cases, it even provokes depression, chronic fatigue, and poor health.
- Cactus. Along with it, imbalance and aggression will appear in the home energy. This plant can be an indirect cause of quarrels and discord. However, it also has a positive feature - it improves intellectual thinking.
- Monstera. Such a plant is considered an energy vampire. A short stay near it develops constructive thinking in a person. In addition, the plant contributes to making a serious decision.
All the above tips will help harmonize your home. This means that you yourself will create comfort and coziness in your home.
Did you know that your income directly depends on the energy flows prevailing in certain sectors of your home? Feng Shui Wealth Zone has such a powerful impact on the well-being of the owner of the house that the proper arrangement of its space can completely change fate.
Do you want to attract abundance into your home? Activate your feng shui wealth zone and try to maximize its impact.
And also use runes to attract wealth, and here’s how... read Money is an important component of every person’s life. Commercialism and greed have nothing to do with it. It’s just impossible to plan a good vacation, dress beautifully, eat right and enjoy every day without money.
The sector responsible for our material well-being is located in the southeast of the apartment. To find it, you don’t need to have a compass, although you can, of course, use it too. Many people try to use the Bagua grid and apply it to a schematic representation of their home.
If you also decide to try, first draw a detailed plan of the house. And do not forget that we are in the opposite direction from the historical homeland of the teachings of Feng Shui - all cardinal directions on the grid should be read in reverse.
We advise you to do it much simpler: to determine the zone of wealth, you need to stand with your back to the front door and look inside the room. The wall farthest to your left will be a landmark - the room in which it is located is the area we need.
Walk through this area immediately - there should be no obstacles in your way. Remove inconveniently located furniture, sharp corners and scattered things - Qi energy (the flow of well-being and vitality) should circulate freely.
To harmonize the spiritual space of your home and set it up to attract wealth, Feng Shui experts recommend following the following rules.
- Let's put things in order. Remember: the magic of Feng Shui only works in exceptionally clean rooms. Activating the zone begins with cleaning - do it as often as possible! Throw away all the junk. Do not store broken items or damaged dishes, especially in the wealth sector. While putting things in order, think about pleasant things, dream and imagine how your life will change for the better in the near future.
- Ventilate the room regularly. Stagnation of energy in this zone is strictly contraindicated - let money flow to you freely.
- The lighting should be bright. The ideal option is a beautiful crystal chandelier. The energies of wealth love shine - place more mirrors and glass objects (crystals, crystal pyramids) in this area.
- Buy a decorative fountain. Nowadays there are plenty of similar decorative elements in stores. The main element of the wealth zone according to Feng Shui is water. In this room, water symbols should be everywhere. Choose a fountain, listening to your feelings - let it evoke associations with a pure source. The babbling of clear water in this sector has a very beneficial effect on attracting money.
- We choose the right color scheme. To decorate the interior, you should also focus on the element of water - give preference to blue and green tones. Violet and lilac are also considered classic colors of wealth.
- Get some fish and buy a beautiful aquarium for them. In Feng Shui theory, fish is one of the main symbols of wealth. You can also put souvenir fish in the room, but it is better if they are alive. And the presence of a mini-reservoir in the form of an aquarium in the money sector will further strengthen the aura of abundance. Just take care of the fish very carefully - money symbols do not tolerate negligence.
- Make sure that there is living greenery in the wealth area - flowers and indoor plants. Qi energy fuels any manifestations of life, and it interacts especially well with the plant world. The main material in this sector should be wood - let furniture be made from it, and place wooden figurines throughout the room. You should definitely get a crassula (money tree) - its leaves are very similar to coins. Feng Shui also recommends placing plants with wide, elongated greenery that resembles banknotes in an area of abundance.
- We decorate the walls. To attract wealth, hang pictures on the walls with images of the river, sea, and wildlife. Draw the Feng Shui hieroglyph “Money” on thick white paper - it will fit perfectly into the interior of this area. By the way! There should be a lot of money and their images in this room. Place bills in visible places, and scatter coins on the floor or hide them in holes between furniture and walls.
Place a cup of abundance in the money zone - you need to decorate it yourself. In a deep metal vessel with rounded shapes, place three Feng Shui coins, real coins and banknotes, photographs of successful people and a photo of a rich house or villa where you would dream of living.
To appease the gods of abundance, place cereals and a handful of earth from a rich person’s plot into the bowl. But you can’t steal land, the owner must donate it. A prerequisite is that the bowl must be closed with a lid, otherwise the energies of wealth will slip away.
The most famous Feng Shui talisman is the cheerful god Hotei. He does not need to pray, just buy a figurine and place it in the abundance sector - sorrows and sorrows will disappear, this god brings joy, prosperity and strength. From time to time, stroke the figurine on the belly - the ritual promises a happy life and health.
Place other Feng Shui symbols around the room - a toad, a turtle, an elephant and a boat sitting on coins. These talismans also have very powerful energy; they will help you achieve your goals and attract good luck to your home.
- Fireplace. It is better to remove everything related to fire from the money zone. There should be no candles or lamps here; when decorating a room, avoid even the color red. Money energy is water; fire can evaporate it.
- There are no images of the desert or autumn - these are symbols of withering and death. The photo of you in the autumn park should also not be displayed in a prominent place; store such images in an album.
- Spiny cacti, sharp objects, corners and triangular-shaped things weaken the wealth zone. By its nature, Qi energy is feminine; it loves smooth curves and rounded shapes.
- Antiques. No matter how beautiful expensive antique items may look, they cannot be placed in the abundance sector. Old energy has accumulated in them, and money is attracted by novelty and movement.
- Bin. Even if the wealth sector is in the kitchen, find another place for garbage. And in general, try to ensure that waste does not linger in your apartment for a long time.
Feng Shui magic is a very powerful incentive to attract wealth. However, remember - in a house where lazy and uninitiative people live, Qi energy loses most of its strength. Be active, develop, improve!
Love money and treat it with respect. Only in this case will abundance await your home.

Ba Gua Grid
Feng Shui for the home is practice. Follow these steps now:
- Print or redraw the Ba Gua grid.
- Using a compass, determine where the cardinal points are in the room, as well as the central part. If you don't have a compass, download the corresponding app to your phone.
- Find or draw a floor plan. Mark North on it with a dot.
- Knowing where the North is, taking it as a starting point, draw equal Feng Shui zones on the plan in accordance with the Ba-Gua grid.
Ba Gua Grid- an octagon divided into 9 sectors. This is a feng shui zone. One of them central, eight others match cardinal directions:
- North,
- Northeast,
- East,
- Southeast,
- Southwest,
- West,
- Northwest.
It's rare that an apartment fits perfectly into the Ba Gua octagon. It may turn out that some zone absent. Activate this sector in the room by distributing Feng Shui zones specifically for it. For example, according to Feng Shui, the wealth zone falls outside the house. In this case, organize it in the south-eastern part of your bedroom.
In the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, each of the cardinal directions corresponds to one or another sphere of human life:
- North - career
- Northeast - learning, wisdom,
- East - family, health,
- Southeast - wealth, material wealth,
- South - reputation, glory,
- South-West - love, marriage,
- West - children, creativity,
- North-West - helpers, travel.
The cent symbolizes personality - you and your health.
Once the location of all zones in the house is known, proceed to their revitalization. Pay special attention to the zone to the development and improvement of which you most direct your strength and attention, and also where you want to attract the life-giving energy of Qi.
Light Qi energy Not comes to a house where there is a lot:

Sometimes we want changes in the house and we begin a large-scale rearrangement of furniture and things. By doing this in accordance with the rules of Feng Shui, we will soon notice positive changes in our lives - our careers are skyrocketing, relationships with loved ones are improving, and our financial situation is improving. Arranging your workplace according to Chinese traditions will also have a positive impact on your business. If you decide to rearrange your desk or make improvements in your office, it is worth considering the key points of Feng Shui practice.
We spend a good third of our time working, so why not optimize this process? You will not be limited to an improved mood. Success, profit and career growth directly depend on the interior details you choose and their location.
- Place the table so that your back is not to the entrance to the room. From an energetic point of view, such an arrangement is dangerous and can attract betrayal into your life. Pay special attention to this point if the door opens into the room.
- Sit with your face, not your back, to the window. This entails difficulties in mutual understanding with work colleagues, as well as the inability to enlist the support of your boss.
- Pay attention to the Water symbols. The table should be positioned so that they are never behind you. Water symbols include aquariums, decorative fountains, paintings depicting the water element, etc. They attract wealth and prosperity.
- Make sure there are no structures above your head, such as shelves, large chandeliers or an air conditioner. They create pressure, interfere with thinking and creative processes, and also block the flow of positive energy.
- Try to hide all wires. When they are in a visible place, they negatively affect the flow of profit and business success.
Office workspace design
In modern offices, in order to save space, workplaces are arranged very compactly: in separate cubicles or surrounded by partitions. A person feels pressure and discomfort, and the table turns out to be cluttered with computer equipment and office supplies. To visually expand such a small space, hang a picture with a landscape or any symbol of Water on the wall near the table - the sea, a waterfall, a mountain river, etc.
Lighting plays an important role. It is advisable to have a lamp on the desktop. Its light should fall from the side opposite the working hand, or from above. Blinds or curtains protect from bright sunlight and help you concentrate better. However, natural light should enter the room, as it brings harmony and comfort.
Any item that delights you will help to decorate a boring, gray place, thereby brightening up routine tasks. This could be a photograph of a loved one, an original pen stand, a decorative decoration for the monitor, in general, anything that comes to your mind. Looking at this, your mood will rise and fatigue will go away.
Feng Shui of the work area requires protection for humans. Indoor plants can provide such protection. People who work on high floors or sit near a window need it most. By the way, the choice of plants should be approached responsibly. Fern will improve relationships between employees, chrysanthemum will protect you from unwanted conflicts, geranium will help with career advancement, cyclamen will help you gain self-confidence. But the cactus, which many people like to decorate their table with, should not be placed - its spines attract negativity and have a bad effect on your financial situation. Although every rule has an exception - place it in the center of the table and you will protect yourself from intrigue and betrayal.
If your office does not have windows, be sure to place an aquarium, flowerpots with plants and paintings of the natural landscape in it.
The table, according to Chinese practice, must always be tidy, clean and tidy. Try to get rid of unnecessary papers or at least diligently put them in folders. The office needs to be cleaned regularly, wet cleaned and ventilated. Cluttering things and dust prevents the circulation of energy, so that luck and money always accompany you. Keep popular items within easy reach, and keep those you rarely use in shelves, nightstands and cabinets.
If you are a subordinate and cannot choose your workplace, at least try turning the desk. By calculating the Gua number, you will know your favorable location, and towards it you should sit. The best option for a seat would be a work chair with a straight, hard back and armrests. This support for backs and arms creates stability in the work environment. Its mobility, that is, the presence of wheels, will come in handy.
It would be wrong to place subordinates opposite each other. Employees' views overlap, causing discomfort, distraction, and hindering career development. If a superior person is sitting opposite you, you can forget about the promotion for the near future. It is best for management to be placed behind the backs of subordinates, controlling the work process and not “pressing” with their gaze. This also symbolizes their support and providing you with a strong and reliable rear.
According to Feng Shui, the boss’s desk should not only contribute to his and the company’s success, but also help achieve a friendly atmosphere in the team. It is best for him to sit with his back to the wall, symbolizing support and support. Be sure to avoid a position with your back to the door; this can lead to a weakening of authority and significant discomfort. The effect can be enhanced by placing paintings depicting mountain peaks. If the room is very small, hang pictures of lakes, meadows and other open, peaceful landscapes. Avoid sharp corners in the office, otherwise all your luck in business will evaporate without a trace. Good natural and artificial lighting in the manager’s office will charge him with positive energy and relieve him of bad mood and depression.
Furniture must emphasize the level and status of a person and his position. Strict design made of natural furniture, plain walls in beige, light green or pale brown tones are the best helpers. The chair should fit into the overall interior, be of the correct shape and preferably made of leather.
Any metal objects activate work activity, attract positive impulses and attract strength for a successful business.
Office decoration
When choosing a place in the house for an office, make your choice in favor of a room located close to the front door. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the room should have a regular square or rectangular shape, since each corner is responsible for one of the spheres of life. The absence of one of the corners in the room will negatively affect the area responsible for it. This can be corrected by placing a mirror in the corner. Diffused lighting and favorable colors will allow you to work with a clear mind every day.
Your office should not only be practical and in line with Chinese practices, but also reflect your character. Add a few of your favorite things to decorate it.
Clean your work area regularly. Get rid of unnecessary junk, carefully fold documents and wipe dust off your equipment. Don’t delay reading letters and other documentation, otherwise soon piles of papers will tower next to you and interfere with your work. Order is the basis of Feng Shui, remember this.
Use a metal table lamp for lighting. Place it opposite your working hand so that the light falls in the right direction and the shadow does not interfere with your work. The proximity of a window and sunlight is of course good, but too bright rays will be distracting, making it difficult to see the monitor. Use blinds or light curtains to diffuse sunlight slightly in the morning. You should not completely prevent the entry of rays and curtain the windows with thick curtains. The sun carries countless charges of positive energy necessary for thought processes.
To put yourself in the right mood for work, put up photos of your career successes - graduation and public speaking - and hang a nice picture of nature on the wall. We do not recommend sitting facing an empty wall, but when this cannot be avoided, it is better to see fields and harvests in front of you in order to collect them in life.
When sitting at your desk, you should not see the sharp corners of other furniture in the room. Of course, in some apartments it is difficult to find a spacious corner for working, so brighten up sharp corners with fabric, decorations or indoor plants. The simplest option is to stretch a woolen thread along them so that all conflicts and troubles at work pass you by.
To ensure future opportunities and prospects, make sure you can approach the table from multiple angles.
An important decision is purchasing a desk chair. You will have to sit on it for long hours, so it should be as comfortable and convenient as possible. Adjustable soft wide chairs with straight backs and armrests will help minimize back fatigue and neck tension. Leaning back on it for a few minutes will be a real pleasure. The backrest plays an important role in protecting you from evil spirits. Upright posture characterizes a respectable business person.
There should be a minimum of furniture in the office. Choose brown and other natural tones, avoid dark shades. Black furniture will make your work completely fruitless. Avoid relaxing furnishings, such as a soft sofa. It’s not even an hour before you forget about work and lie down on the sofa to take a nap, submitting to its magic. If you want to place it, choose a hard leather sofa that promotes control and work. Leather furniture fits perfectly into the work environment - it has “yang” energy and activates brain activity. An office cannot be complete without a cabinet for documents and other professional utensils. Make sure that its doors are always closed, otherwise it will be difficult to collect your thoughts, and you will often suffer from absent-mindedness.
At the time of the birth of Feng Shui, there was no trace of technology, so its electromagnetic pulses interfere with the work process. Nowadays it’s hard to imagine working without a computer, but still try not to clutter your office with it.
Accurate table location
The teachings of Feng Shui help determine the best location for the workplace based on your own date of birth. For correct calculation, do not take into account the first two digits. Let's give an example. The lady was born in 1982, which means we take only the number 82. Subtract 4 from it, we get 78. Divide this number by 9. Subtract 8 from a hundred, we get 92. Divide by 9 again and get the number 10 - this is the desired number . A man born in 1982 first subtracts 82 from a hundred, getting 18. And then divides by 9, the resulting number 2 is his number. Pay attention only to whole numbers.
Once you have figured out your figure, all that remains is to refer to this simple explanatory table:
This will give you the optimal location for your desktop. It is worth noting that Feng Shui experts do not recommend placing it in the south side, as this contributes to conflicts and unpleasant working moments.
Desktop sectors
Chinese practice teaches us the correct placement of objects on the desktop. Let's roughly divide it into three main zones:
- The central part symbolizes good luck, a successful financial situation, and possible future victories in the professional sphere. This zone is also responsible for past victories, so for the right energy, place cups, frames with diplomas and certificates and other evidence of achievements here. If you don’t have them at all, then leave this sector empty, don’t clutter it with unnecessary things - then the path to a bright future will be clear.
- The left side is the zone of wealth. Are you looking for more profit? Then we advise you to put up a small money tree that attracts finances and success. Thus, you get 2 in 1: a plant on your desktop and an improvement in your financial situation. If for some reason you don’t want to see the tree, you can replace it with another Feng Shui talisman - a piggy bank or a frog with three legs. Place them on a red cloth and tie them with a red ribbon, because, as you know, this color attracts wealth.
- The right side is responsible for creative direction. Post here some of the results of your successful work, some projects or documentation. But don't overdo it with a bunch of things! Everything should be compact and neatly folded. Install a telephone in the right area of the table; this will help establish relationships with superiors.
- The computer desktop is also important for beneficial work. Place a relaxing photo on your screensaver, such as a landscape or, better yet, any image of water (remember the influence of water symbols). Remove all unnecessary icons, documents and folders.
Color spectrum
Feng Shui teaches that each color and each shade has its own energy, so it is important to take into account the range of the work area. Color not only improves performance and improves mood, but can also have a positive/negative effect on human health.
Modern white and black or gray office spaces are a bad solution, as they do not harmonize at all - there are literally no colors in this design. Neutral white color does not carry any energy, and black only absorbs light rays. The gray shade is just a mixture of the first two.
The presence of many motley bright tones pleases in the first minutes of being in the room, but after a few minutes it begins to tire and even irritate. Therefore, try not to overdo it with monotony and saturation, choosing harmonizing shades.
Beige, soft green, marsh, light orange, and coffee colors contribute to a relaxed and productive atmosphere.
Talismans on the table
Let's take a closer look at the useful talismans that should be placed on the table, as well as their positive impact.
The three-legged toad, which we mentioned just above, is an ancient Chinese symbol of material well-being. Choose this unusual figurine with a coin in its mouth, place it in the left area of the table and ensure yourself a stable financial position.
Any figurine in the shape of a pyramid is a very strong amulet that stimulates performance and has a positive effect on the circulation of energy. Place it in the right or central area of the table to help your career take off. Make your choice in favor of a crystal product.
The Indian elephant god called Ganesha increases your chance of increasing your salary in particular and your overall family income in general. It also has a positive effect on relationships with business partners and the successful conclusion of transactions. From time to time, stroke the hands and trunk of the elephant god to activate its action. You can also put candy next to it.
A variety of pictures with hieroglyphs of wealth, success or fame will also have a beneficial effect on work. A dragon figurine helps develop your creative abilities and protects you from ill-wishers, and an old man with a bag of money Hottei is useful for attracting wealth.
Do you keep a lot of information in your head and constantly forget important details? Then be sure to keep crystals that have powerful energy for working at the computer.
Feng Shui above and below the table
Above your desk, ideally there should be a flat ceiling with lamps, without huge lamellas, beams or other overhanging things that create tension and discomfort. Subconsciously, every person thinks that these pipes or lamps may fall on their heads, which means that working in such an atmosphere will not be productive.
The same discomfort is created by air conditioners or heaters, whose cold or warm air currents cause discomfort from time to time. If you don’t have the opportunity to change your place at work, stock up on an umbrella in advance that can block the air. It’s even easier to change the direction of the air conditioner air flow in the settings.
The space under the table needs to be given no less attention. Don't clutter it with countless "necessary" things just because no one will notice them. Get rid of boxes, tidy up wires, dust off dust, and remove lingering cobwebs from corners. The feeling of tightness will disappear and work will become easier. The system unit and the necessary things under the table should be on your left side.
The correct arrangement of furniture, the position of the table and the selection of objects on it contribute to a favorable and productive work environment, attract good luck and improve financial status. Support in the form of a wall at the back, space and opportunities in front. A tidy and clean table, a comfortable chair, the presence of talismans and relaxing objects help to properly tune in to work, accumulate positive energy and achieve new heights.
