Feng Shui is a complex system of ordering your life by ordering your personal space. Start by locating the compass directions of your home. The West is the direction of romantic feelings, but the Southwest is the direction of family harmony. According to Lillian Too, a cluster of natural quartz crystals is extremely effective in the Southwest of your home for attracting romance. Glass crystals can also be used, especially when they are placed to catch sunlight. Illuminating the crystal is important in any case, and even a crystal chandelier-type lamp turned on for at least 3 hours each day will enhance the romantic aspect.
Remove any clutter from this area so that it is open and artful. Don’t hang coats or hats there, and don’t dump your keys, books, or other items. If the Southwest part of your home is a bathroom the Feng Shui experts recommend you stop using that bathroom altogether, especially if the toilet is in the Southwest. When Feng Shui was invented no one had bathrooms, and the room is viewed as a drain on resources, whereas Europeans view the bath as revitalizing. You can minimize the bath’s negativity by hanging a five-rod, black-painted, wooden windchime over the toilet, or by placing a full-length mirror on the outside of the door thereby implying the bath doesn’t exist.
Another thing you should do is make sure your home has a balance between male and female energy. If your art is all sports, hunting, cars, etc. you should balance it with some feminine art, and I don’t mean your Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar. Pairs of objects are considered good for romantic luck. Mandarin ducks, dragons, and fish in pairs are traditional decoration. Below is one link to recommendations on Feng Shui.
I’m looking for a general book to outline the basics of this ancient practice. I want to do it to my bedroom and office. I heard if you do this properly you will make more money too. Is this true? Please just give me the name and author (if possible) of a book you read and liked and why you liked it. Thanks!
I am a certified Feng Shui Practitioner black hat sec.
When I went for training one of the recommended books for us as reference believe it or not was Feng Shui for Dummies.
Found this rather interesting but in reading it gives very black and white explanations to questions you have.
There is also a book by Carol Bridges A Soul In Place, reclaiming home as a sacred space you might find interesting. Carol Bridges runs seminars and training sessions in Nashville IN A wonderful and insightful experience.
My desk faces the door so that I can view everyone coming in and my back to the wall. Should my mirror go there or somewhere else?
Mirrors serve several purposes in Feng Shui. First mirrors reflect and deflect chi. Secondly, mirrors are used to draw in the energy of an object outside of the room.
It is not advised to have a mirror in your office at all. If you place the mirror behind your desk, which faces the door, you’ll be sending all the good chi out of your office. In fact, you’ll prevent chi from coming into the office in the first place. If you have a window in your office, you can not place it opposite the window, because it will send the chi out the window.
Why do you need a mirror in your office in the first place? If you really need a mirror, then place it on the wall that will have another solid wall opposite it. This way, you are not sending any chi out. However, with the presence of a mirror the chi will be constantly moving, which means that you will lack focus while at work. Therefore, it is best not to have one at all, because mirrors cause more harm then do good.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know of a good website where you can get free advice and see a chart for the home? Specifically a bedroom.
i doubt if you can find a good one that offers free advice. you cannot just apply fengshui to your bedroom and not to the whole house. anyway, i am just saying that it does not have any significant effect on your life – doing fengshui just to your bedroom. and all effects are just in your mind.
Books, Websites, Blogs, Anything?
There are tons of books on feng shui. Just hit your local book store and find one that suits you.
just purchased beech and metal bunk beds from argos (oslo) if this is bad feng shui, please tell me how best to correct it. p.s cannot split into two beds.
ah well now thats a tricky one … but i would say its pretty good chop suey any day… hope this helps.x
I know rose quartz is good for that area, but I was wondering what other crystals are good there.
Also if anyone knows of any good websites with good information about what crystals work well in the different areas, I would appreciate the referal
In feng shui, the south west represents marriage and partnerships.
To activate this area of your life, place two rose quartz crystals (to represent two people, a couple) in the south west corner of your bedroom. Place two lovely candles with your crystals, and anything else which reminds you of a loving relationship, such as a postcard of a couple dancing, or a picture of a couple embracing, or two people on a picnic. Every time you see your crystals/candle display, state this affirmation ‘I have a wonderful loving relationship’ or something along those lines. Ensure you have two bed side tables, two bed side lamps. Ensure the rest of your bedroom, and home, does not have photos or pictures of single people.
Any crystal can be programmed, so you don’t have to buy rose quartz. Find something you like that has a soft and gentle energy. Program the crystal to assist you in finding the ideal partner. Write down the characteristics in the partner you would like, and place the note under the crystals.
I hope this is helpful! In case you have any further questions I have created a Feng Shui Tips group on Yahoo to answer feng shui questions at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fengshuitipsgroup/
I have found an old house built on a triangular plot of land, around 465 sq mt big. I plan to break the old house andbuild a new one there. The location of the plot is nice, corner plot open on two sides but I am not sure whether in Fengshui it is considered good to build a house on triangular plot.
a triangular plot is not recommendable because a triangle denotes fire, which in fengshui means many bad things like inflamation of, actual fire, sickness related to blood and heart, etc. but, if it is big enough, you can have a retangular house with 3 triangular garden around the house… making the house better as oppose to having a triangular house. but this still is not important as far as fengshui is concerned. but it just helps a bit – as form is also an important aspect of fengshui.
If it is bad luck could anyone tell me what I can do to use it in a good way. I am renting so I can t remove it.
Hi, a good question!
The energies that circulate within the house, come from 8 directions externally and for them to interact, would need a fairly open centre inside the house.
It is not generally positive to have any enclosed room in the centre for this reason. I would suggest in your situation to keep the room open as much as you can, (considering the circumstances) and evaluate how your life has been before and since you moved in and with this change.
Also find out the history of the house and how long other tenants have been there and why they moved out, it may give some interesting information on how the feng shui of that house has been for them. Do this also when looking for a new place to rent.
I hope this helps.
Wishing you good health, abundant wealth and lasting happiness,
Priscilla
Just moved into a new place and would love some good karma to come along with it. Thanks!
Well, if I had just moved, I would start by giving the place a really good clean (you’ve probably done that!) and then I would smudge each room, preferably with frankincense incense which is amazing for clearing away negative energies and vibrations.
Lots of fresh, green, healthy plants with rounded leaves, no clutter (as much as humanly possible!), a little fountain or aquarium in your front hall ~or~ in the top left corner as you come in, and you have some great basics set up. For lots more simple tips and advice, take a look at this webpage on Feng Shui and good luck in your new home!
