Feng Shui for the living room

For ease of understanding use the Ba-gua map. Place the front part of this map facing the door. Place the map flat so that the entire living room matches the various faces of the map.

Corners and alcoves will deaden the flow of chi, and should be paid special attention to. Try to light up corners with lamps, or liven up the area by hanging a favourite painting - preferably one that is colourful.

Put a potted plant (with round leaves, never straight or spiky) in this space. Try and create wide spaces also by strategically placing a mirror to make your living room look bigger. Be carefull with mirrors. Mirrors, if badly placed can create negative energy so make sure that it is placed so that it reflects something you'd like to see more of, such as the view from a window.

Try to not clutter your living room up with too much furniture. Also, don't give your TV or sound system a place of importance; your TV's electromagnetic waves may interfere with the flow of chi.

The layout of your room should encourage relaxation; so make sure that the furniture isn't pushed up against the walls, but in a more intimate, maybe circular formation, so that your guests feel comfortable. A guest should ideally sit facing the door.
