Feng Shui & Astrology

If you're one of the many individuals that read up on different trends, you've probably read or heard about the concept of Feng Shui. Although Feng Shui has been around for centuries, it was kept as somewhat of a secret among the most powerful and wealthy of the Chinese.

It's only become known to the rest of Asian society and the Western civilization in recent years. However, since it's made its way to the United States, it's become very important in many areas of life from helping with home decoration to improve harmony in the home, to CEOs wishing to improve their profitability of their businesses.

Feng Shui was developed on the principle of "chi", which is another word for energy. The Chinese believe that we can use changes in our environment to affect the flow of 'chi' in our lives. Everything around us consists of energy. We affect our surroundings while at the same time our surroundings affect us.

So how do you use Feng Shui to create abundance in your home? There are a couple different methods used in Feng Shui for this purpose.

1. General Feng Shui directions

In our home or office, the direction Southeast is generally related to abundance. You would want to put pictures of landscapes, flowers or plants in this direction of your home or office because the element of this direction is wood. Also, any images you may have that represent abundance may also be placed in this direction of your home or office.

2. Personal Feng Shui directions

In personal Feng Shui, we all have favourable and unfavourable directions based on our personal number, called a Gua number. Depending on your personal number, there is a direction that is related to success. With a Gua number of 8 for example, your personal success direction is South West. In this direction therefore, ensure that the home office is neat and clean and that you face this direction (or one of the other 3 good directions) if possible.

3. Get rid of clutter in your home office

Clutter in your office or home also takes away positive energy. If you have a desk that is overrun with clutter, clean it up. The same applies for the entire home in fact. Start with the rooms you spend the most time in, and go from there. Afterwards, keep your home clean at all times to keep the good flow of chi happening.

4. Flying stars method for good directions

Another method, the flying stars method, is more complex and determines the most favorable areas of your home in a particular year. These good directions change, and means that you may want to spend more time in a particular sector of the home in this year more, and in other rooms, less. You can learn from a Feng Shui course, in order to do this properly.

So there you go. You now know 4 ways you can use Feng Shui to improve the flow of abundance in your home. Take it one step at a time, and see if each step brings you a good feeling and energy into your home, and attract the success and abundance that you want.

Many are interested in the art of Feng Shui because they are searching for a way to add energy and vitality to their lives, and want to do this in the most natural way possible. Others are looking for the opposite of energy; they want to feel calm and relaxed in their environment. Whatever your reasons for investigating this ancient art, there are a few simple tricks you can do to create a true Feng Shui bedroom for yourself.

Tip 1, Feng Shui bedroom:

One of the most important things you need to figure out before making any design changes to your bedroom is what type of look and feel are you trying to create. For instance, do you want to feel relaxed and warm when going to bed, and to create a room that helps you to go to sleep immediately, or would you rather create a room that has a sexy feel to it.

As mentioned earlier now that you have decided to redesign your Feng Shui bedroom it is important to think about what type of atmosphere you trying to create. You certainly don’t want to create an atmosphere that is relaxing within a room that is lacking positive energy, and you don’t want to create more energy and vibrancy in a room where you only want to sleep. Hence, you do need to sit back and decide first on what you want.

Tip 2, Feng Shui bedroom:

The next step you want to take when creating a Feng Shui bedroom is to de-clutter the room completely. The bedroom is not an exercise room, it’s not a laundry room, and it’s not an office. Whether you want the room to be peaceful and relaxing or you want some energy in this room, clutter is going to keep you from achieving either one.

You will notice that bedroom photos in decorating magazines do not show any clutter, whatsoever, so why would you want your room to be cluttered.

Tip 3, Feng Shui bedroom:

Colors are very important to Feng Shui practitioners, and using them in the bedroom can create different types of moods. To create relaxation and calmness dark and warm colors are used, and to bring in energy a practitioner will use bold and bright colors.

Depending on the decision you made above about the atmosphere you want to create in your Feng Shui bedroom, you can choose a bold and energetic color such as red or purple to create energy and tension, or warm and soothing colors such as brown and dark green to relax and calm you. However, with either decision, don’t go overboard and make either choice overwhelming. Nothing drains or depresses you faster than feeling overwhelmed by the color of a room the moment you walk into.
