Feng Shui Tips - How Well Do You Know Your Feng Shui?

By Ferdinand Dubem Ferdinand Mekinsy Ferdinand Emy

Many of the feng shui home tips are misinterpreted leading to incorrect applications. For instance, many people avoid putting their aquarium in the kitchen because they consider water will extinguish the fire element specific to this house area. Such a principle has to be understood symbolically, particularly since the presence of the water tank in the kitchen could increase the prosperity of the home. Another erroneous feng shui home tip is that of never keeping books in the bedroom since they will stimulate you and prevent good sleep. False!

The feng shui home analysis further involves the investigation of the front and back structures as they are differentiated from houses. Also apartments tend to follow the light source, looking towards windows, but the problem under such circumstances would be the entrance that is usually dark because it's located more towards the center of the building. Compensations do exist in the feng shui design of an apartment. You can attract more positive energy when you can make the choice of floor you want to live at, not to mention that the selection of the flat with the best view is one other top point to benefit from in terms of feng shui home arrangement.

In order to be able to design a positive feng shui bedroom, one needs to be able to understand and know how to trigger the ways that nourish the flow of sensual harmonious energy. A good feng shui bedroom is recognized by the type of sensations and emotions it generates: it has to be luring and exciting while still offering a feeling of calm and security. One has to feel comfortable in a feng shui bedroom regardless whether we are talking about an afternoon nap, a great night sleep or an incredible act of passionate love. Here are some of the most common tips and tools to be used for the design of an incredible feng shui bedroom.

Chinese jade feng shui items have the highest value on the market because of the precious nature of the gemstone that is superior to the jade extracted from Mexico, Russia or Turkey. If you buy jade feng shui items online and you are keen on getting something authentic, then it is a good idea to ask for some form of certification. If the supplier cannot offer such an authenticity proof, you may consider another source. Just to make an idea of how expensive jade feng shui jewelry can be, consider the fact that some items go higher than a few thousand dollars.

Other colors feng shui relies on have the same complexity of interpretation. One could easily wonder why colors are so important to all traditions. The answer to this question is simple and deep if we think about the very essence of a color: they contain light to a higher or lower degree depending on the nature of the object they pertain to. Therefore, light, chi or life force become synonyms in the complex paradigm of the universe. Hence, the colors feng shui uses are vehicles for the chi and therefore they are able to influence moods, change fortune, improve health and so on.

Moreover, we have to acknowledge the trendy aspect of the feng shui tips. False values that do not take the essence of this practice into consideration but rather remain limited to the surface luster of apparent benefits are harmful by nature. Shallowness does not make a match with real feng shui; hence, do not make this practice a bombastic element of your life; the only thing that matters is what results from it. Understanding, analyzing, putting into practice and constantly learning, these are the ways to cultivate the spirit of feng shui in its authentic form. - 16459
