I have studied Feng Shui for years and have learned a lot along the way. But some of the most basic and useful tools I use have really increased the positive energy flow (Chi) within my home.
Tip #1 WEALTH to find your wealth area in your home stand at your front door facing in. The Farthest left hand corner is your wealth area (this area can sometimes be outside of your home depending on your structure). If you have an upstairs this area is a wealth area too. MOST important is to keep this area free of clutter. So before anything clean this area if it needs it. To enhance this area for positive energy flow add green plants, crystals, the colors red and purple and display anything here that represents wealth ie; coins, collections,expensive china ect… Open blinds or windows and let in natural light and keep this area clean and free of dust and keep plants watered and healthy.
Tip #2 LOVE to find your love/relationship area in your home stand at your front door facing in. The Farthest right hand corner is your love area (this area can sometimes be outside of your home depending on your structure). If you have an upstairs this area is a love area too. MOST important is to keep this area free of clutter. So before anything clean this area if it needs it and keep it clean.
