Feng Shui, or Feng Shui(Chinese trad. 風水, ex. 风水, pinyin: fēngshuǐ- literally “wind and water”) - Taoist practice of symbolic development (organization) of space, East Asian version of geomancy. With the help of Feng Shui, it is supposedly possible to choose the “best” place to build a house or burial, the “correct” layout of the site; counts [ by whom?] that a feng shui specialist can predict events.

The goal of Feng Shui is to find favorable flows of qi energy and use them for the benefit of humans, achieving energy balance.

There is no scientific evidence that the mystical claims of Feng Shui are real; The scientific community classifies Feng Shui as a pseudoscience.

History of Feng Shui

Feng Shui attaches great importance to orientation in the area, the direction from which qi - energy comes. It is traditionally indicated on the compass using hieroglyphs (in China), where each direction/division/hieroglyph has its own properties. The Chinese compass "lopan" has several meanings, such as "spiral on a plate" and "everything in a bowl" (container of everything). It can have up to 360 divisions (one division for each degree), but the minimum is 4. These directions/divisions determine the quality of energy at a certain point in space and a person (in acupuncture, acupuncture, moxibustion, this system of divisions is also used - up to 360 points per human body).

Directions, parts of the room, types of life activities, furniture, trees, people and other surrounding objects are classified in accordance with the accepted notation system. The Chinese used a non-personalized system of elements of nature (fire, metal, water, wood, earth); in other cultures, the division of energy may be called differently. In China, the attributes of the “elements” determine harmony or disharmony at a specific point in space and time.

The Chinese summarized their knowledge of astronomy (using the cycles of rotation of the planets around the Sun and Moon) and created a system of divisions in their calendar through the symbolic designations of “heavenly trunks” and “earthly branches”, each of which carries the specific characteristics of one of the elements (fire, water, metal, wood, earth). The year, month, day and hour are indicated respectively by two hieroglyphs - “heavenly trunk” + “earthly branch”.

All seasons, therefore, had their own characteristics. The Chinese calendar used up to 24 seasons.

The practice of Feng Shui is aimed at harmonizing the energies within which a person lives. With proper development of space, you can achieve positive results in all areas of life.

Feng Shui of an apartment requires a serious approach. Based on Eastern practice, it is necessary to clearly delimit zones and place symbolic attributes in them that will concentrate the flow of positive Qi energy in the right place.

Recently, many have become interested in various practices for the harmonious arrangement of their homes. Using the tenets of the teaching, it is necessary to clearly delimit the zones of residential premises and correctly arrange the symbols in order to activate positive processes. At the same time, negative flows are weakened or completely neutralized.

Feng Shui is used to activate positive processes

Feng Shui of an apartment opens up opportunities for its residents, helps to improve family relationships, make good profits, promotes career growth and improves health. All this happens without much effort on the part of humans. The main condition is knowledge of the fundamental laws of Taoist practice.

Interior arrangement according to Feng Shui

When arranging Feng Shui for an apartment, you need to pay attention not only to global issues, but also to smaller ones. There are several basic rules that, if followed, will help you control your life.

  • Maintaining cleanliness. The presence of trash leads to the closure of favorable flows and stagnant energy – Sha – accumulates in these places.


It is very important to clean your home regularly

  • Getting rid of unnecessary items of clothing. Only an empty place can attract the appearance of a new one. There is no need to regret that it is no longer useful. If you feel bad about throwing away your clothes, you can give them to those in need.


Get rid of unnecessary clothes

  • Repair of all non-functioning devices. Not everyone has the opportunity to throw away broken expensive equipment, as you can do with clothes. However, the presence of inoperative appliances in the house also leads to stagnation. It is necessary to do minor and global repairs of what can be repaired, and everything else must be disposed of.


Throw away non-working household appliances

  • There should be no broken dishes in the house. This tradition is voiced not only in the teachings of Feng Shui. Broken dishes were traditionally considered a bad omen and were discarded.

Don't keep broken dishes at home

  • In order for all areas in the apartment to work for the benefit of the owners, it is necessary to achieve good lighting at any time of the day. During the day they should be illuminated by the sun's rays, and in the evening by lamps, sconces and lamps. In the dark, stagnant energy is formed that can spoil life in all its manifestations.


All areas of the apartment should be well lit

  • Cleanliness should not only be in furniture and things. Feng Shui requires frequent renovations. Ceilings and walls should not be dusty, and cracks have a detrimental effect on all processes occurring in the apartment.


Carry out repairs in your apartment regularly

  • Energy should circulate throughout the apartment unhindered. That is why there should be no heavy bulky furniture in rooms and corridors. A crowded space will not allow the wind of change into your home.


Don't crowd your apartment with bulky furniture

  • One of the rules for decorating an apartment according to Feng Shui is the correct placement of doors. In rooms they should open inward, with the exception of the toilet and bathroom.


Interior doors should open inward

  • Nothing should hang from the ceiling in the bed area. In all other places, you should avoid sharp objects in the upper part of the room.
  • There should be no neglected, uninhabited places in the apartment. Rooms filled with old junk have a negative impact on the entire space. You cannot store dirty dishes and linen. Only purity can open the way for energy.
  • The abundance of plants and the presence of animals have a beneficial effect on the aura of the room. According to Feng Shui, many areas of the apartment require the presence of indoor flowers in pots.


Indoor plants have a beneficial effect on the aura of the room

  • The main rule of housing registration within the framework of eastern practices remains the desire of a person to return home. If all household members feel cozy and comfortable in the apartment, then everything has been done correctly, and the all-encompassing energy of Qi has begun its work.

To release positive energy into your home, you need to keep it clean. Dirt and neglected places create negativity and hinder development. External cleanliness is not an indicator of complete well-being. All problems are hidden in hard-to-reach places, so cleaning the premises must be comprehensive and global.

To clean out your living space, you need to sort out your closets and chests of drawers. Everything that is no longer wearable must be mercilessly thrown away. Storing junk prevents new things from coming into life. While the closet is full of unnecessary clothes, new clothes will not appear in it.


Get rid of unnecessary junk without regret

The same can be said about non-working equipment, watches and broken dishes. If they are subject to repair, then this must be done without delay. Even one non-working clock can slow down time and prevent positive energy from entering your home. Broken dishes should be thrown away immediately, guided by the truth that a broken cup cannot be mended. Light and warmth will not appear unless you throw away all non-working lighting fixtures and bulbs.

In order for the Feng Shui of an apartment to be complete, it is necessary to decorate the home with plants. They symbolize flourishing and growth in all areas of human life. Animals are also welcome guests in the house. There cannot be bad energy where they live.


Animals maintain good energy in the home

When arranging your apartment, you need to remember that this is a gradual process and you don’t have to do everything at once. Dramatic changes may not be beneficial.

Creating an interior in each room

If the house is large, then it is difficult to furnish it, but it is even more difficult to work with a small apartment. It is necessary to find the right place for everything in order to open each energy zone.

Feng Shui for the bedroom

Particular attention should be paid to the resting place. There should be nothing superfluous in the bedroom. All unnecessary things must be taken out immediately. At the moment of rest, a person is relaxed and defenseless, so he can be overtaken by negative energy. To avoid this, you need to remove items related to sports and work from the room, and fill the bedroom with peace and tranquility.

The room should not contain a large amount of furniture; it will clutter the space. There is no need to place heavy objects on the walls of the bedroom; they inspire fear on a subconscious level and deprive you of peace. The door in the room should open inward.


Bedroom organization according to Feng Shui

The bed should be in the center of the room or diagonally. The door does not have to be opposite, but it must be visible. The fireplace cannot be located in the back. The best place for a bed will be the Love zone.

There should be no things in open places; there are closets for that. Everything that lies outside clutters the space. There should be no electrical appliances in the bedroom; in extreme cases, they should be turned off while sleeping. In order for love to reign in the recreation room, it should not be crowded with small objects on the shelves. All this distracts people from the true purpose of the bedroom.


There should be no household appliances in the bedroom

Feng Shui for the living room

The central element of the living room can be a large crystal chandelier. It helps attract positive energy. The chandelier will provide sufficient illumination to activate all zones.

The living room does not like sharp corners and objects. When choosing furniture, we must not forget about this. Round tables, soft chairs, and an oval-shaped slide will give the room a residential look. Even plants should not have sharp leaves.


When arranging your living room, try to avoid sharp corners in furniture

Electrical appliances have a great influence on the activation of energy in the apartment. They need to be placed in the zones of wealth, love, children and career. These sectors most often need increased stimulation. The Family area in the living room should be equipped with a cozy sofa and decorated with flowers. This will allow you to achieve harmony in your relationship.


Living room arrangement according to Feng Shui

Feng Shui for the kitchen

The kitchen is the place where the family hearth is located. He must also be given due attention. If the kitchen is located correctly, then the decoration will not take much time. It is enough to arrange the objects as needed.


Arranging furniture in the kitchen according to Feng Shui

  • The hearth or stove is installed in the south.
  • The southeast is reserved for the refrigerator.
  • A wooden element must be placed between the ice and the flame.
  • The cleanliness of the two main elements of the kitchen must be maintained at all times.

The rules apply not only to large, but also to small objects and utensils. Stabbing, cutting instruments and spoons must be hidden in cabinets. Electrical appliances tend to stimulate energy, so they should be placed in areas of stagnation. You cannot cook food with your back to the door. This affects the quality of the dishes. The light in the room should be placed in such a way that there are no dark corners. There is fire and water in the kitchen, so you need to dilute them with wood. This element in the interior brings energy to balance.


All corners of the kitchen should be well lit

Feng Shui for the bathroom

Water has a very powerful force. Her energy can make a person rich or completely ruin him. Bathroom and toilet doors should always be tightly closed. It is preferable if they are painted white or shades of blue.

One of the main conditions for installing a bathroom and toilet is that all plumbing fixtures are in full working order. Water flowing from a tap can take with it money, fame, health and all other benefits. The doors of these rooms must open outward.


The bathroom door should open outwards

There are no unimportant or insignificant corners in the apartment. Each of them contains powerful flows of energy that must be activated correctly.

The power of mirrors according to Feng Shui

In many beliefs, mirrors have magical powers, and Eastern practices have not ignored them. Feng Shui of an apartment involves their correct placement to achieve a positive result and advancement in life. The main point in this is given to what the mirror reflects. According to the canons of Eastern practice, it should not be located in the following places:

  • Opposite the exit holes. The energy of strength, wealth and happiness leaves through windows and doors.
  • To preserve love, you need to remove mirrors from the bedroom. If they are needed there, then the reflection should not represent the bed.
  • To prevent the housewife from feeling tired, the mirror should not be located in the kitchen, opposite the stove.


Mirror placement according to Feng Shui

In order for the Feng Shui of the apartment to be observed, you need to know where the mirror surfaces should be placed.

  • If the reflection shows the kitchen table where the whole family gathers, this helps attract wealth and prosperity.
  • A mirrored hallway will allow you to expand the boundaries of space and, as a result, your own horizons.


A mirrored hallway will expand your horizons

In order not to lose a part of your soul, you should not look into a cracked or broken mirror. It must be thrown away immediately, after washing it first. Practitioners claim that in this way information about the owner is deleted.

Feng Shui loves cleanliness. Mirrors that are placed correctly but are dirty and dusty will only cause harm. Washing them will help get rid of negative energy. When buying rare copies, you need to be careful. The mirror contains a memory that can bring trouble to the new owner.


Keep your mirrors clean

Zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui

For a happy and fulfilling life, according to Taoist practice, it is necessary to observe the zones in the apartment according to Feng Shui. Each of them has a different color palette and must contain a special symbol. This helps to reveal the flow of positive energies and change the lives of the inhabitants of the home in the right direction. Several main zones can be distinguished:

  • Wealth;
  • Love and marriage;
  • Health;
  • Careers;
  • Wisdom and knowledge;
  • Assistants and travel;
  • Families;
  • Children and creativity;
  • Glory.

Division into zones according to Feng Shui

Each zone requires attention. If you follow all the advice of practice, you can find yourself in the epicenter of positive energies.

How to distribute Feng Shui zones in an apartment

Anyone who has decided to distribute zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui needs to get acquainted with the Bagua grid, which reflects eight aspects of human life. According to Eastern teachings, they are the most important and constitute the circle of interests of everyone.

There is an ancient legend about this. About two thousand years ago a turtle appeared on the sea coast. On her shell were depicted trigrams corresponding to the nine life aspects. Fu Xi, the great sage, managed to unravel the divine message. This is how people came up with the Bagua grid. Now, in order to influence your life, you need to purposefully direct your forces to the desired part of the room.


Bagua Grid

In order to correctly find the zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui, you need to find a house plan, a compass and a Bagua grid. A large-scale image will help you quickly navigate the area. What should I do?

  • It is easier to start the delimitation process from the north. To find it accurately, you need to use a compass.
  • The apartment plan must be divided into nine equal parts.
  • If you superimpose the compass readings on the plan, then the quarry zone will be located exactly to the north. This guide and the Bagua grid will help distribute all the other squares.

Finding zones in an apartment according to Feng Shui is not so difficult as activating their work. This will require many symbolic crystals and even more practical knowledge.

The activation of this room is directly related to its purpose. In this area you can put educational or religious books, put a globe or hang a map. To quickly master a foreign language, you can put dictionaries in the wisdom sector.


Place a small shelf with books in the Knowledge zone

The Feng Shui Knowledge Zone does not tolerate cutting or piercing objects, disposable reading material or symbols of cruelty. On the contrary, a transparent shell with a pearl will cause positive energy to activate.

What are the cardinal directions according to Feng Shui? Is there such a concept in traditional school of forms? We are primarily influenced by the massive things around us. In the traditional School of Forms, the cardinal directions are not a key factor, since the poles and the sun are far away - much further than furniture, interior items, walls, windows in our apartment or house.

And the longer we are in a room with a certain color, the more this color influences our consciousness and subconscious, shaping our mood and emotions.

Feng Shui importance of bedroom color cannot be overestimated. After all, at least a third of life passes in this room, so color design in the bedroom is especially important. Remember that pink on walls, curtains and bedspreads is not “romantic”. On the contrary, it can scare off a potential partner, scaring off a future husband or wife.

In his says that intense bright colors on the walls usually cause color fatigue in a person. In addition, the excessive influence of any one bright color creates a deficiency relative to other colors. A large number of bright colors leads to overexcitation, and, as a result, to physical fatigue.

The key to understanding Feng Shui symbolism is the basic tenet of the School of Forms, which states: “form determines energy and information.” Useful Feng Shui tips involve first of all paying attention to the integrity of the forms of all objects that are around us. The closer and more massive the object, the greater the impact it has on us. This refers to both the room and the virtual space. Including website design based on Feng Shui.

There are forms that affect a person more intensely than others. The ancient Chinese paid attention to such forms. They called those that have a beneficial effect Feng Shui symbols. Feng Shui symbols, amulets (they are also called fulu) help a person realize one or another area of ​​life to which they are dedicated.

Feng Shui horoscope

But you can always get a guideline that will help you feel more calm about life’s turns, ups and downs.

Regularly publishes Feng Shui forecasts for the year. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with them.
Master Su says that traditionally in China, marriages were arranged by the parents of the bride and groom with the help of a matchmaker. If both families and the bride and groom found that, by generally accepted standards, they were suitable for each other, then both parties named the dates of birth of the future couple to the matchmaker, who passed this information on to the astrologer, who made a conclusion about whether the young people were suitable for each other or not. This information included the year, month, date, and hour of birth of each person in the couple.

If, based on the horoscope, the astrologer found that two people were incompatible with each other, the upcoming wedding was most likely canceled, despite the fact that the bride and groom might be suitable for each other according to other criteria.

Today, people's attitude towards horoscopes and marriage is changing. We have a choice, it makes it possible to overcome the difficulties that horoscopes warn about. If we have the will and desire, we can shape the raw material of our destiny into the desired shape.
