Feng Shui Tips – Bathrooms – Part 2

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

In this article you will find Part 2 of Madonna’s Feng Shui Tips regarding how you may use Feng Shui to improve the balance of your bathrooms:

Traditionally, the north side of the house is considered the best location for the toilet and bathroom.

The bathroom and toilet should not be placed in the wealth fame or career sectors of the house. The death, disaster, six shars, and five-ghosts locations are all good places for the toilet.

The bathroom needs to be kept clean. Unpleasant smells, leaking taps, windows and doors that stick, and any other problems in the room all create negative ch’i, that can adversely affect the wealth and well-being of everyone in the house.

The water pipes should be concealed, if possible. Exposed pipes allow you to see the water-which equals wealth –drain away.

Consequently, this room should not be situated in the north or southeast parts of the house these are the career and wealth sectors.

Keep the bathroom door shut if this room can be seen from the front door, living room, dining room, kitchen, or anyone lying in bed.

A toilet facing the front door is believed to flush away all of the ch’i that enters the house.

The Chinese prefer to keep the doors to the toilet and bathroom closed anyway, as a matter of good etiquette. They also keep the lid down on the toilet as they do not like to see their money being flushed away.

Any upstairs toilets and bathrooms should not e situated over the front door or kitchen. Both of these locations are related to family problems.

A toilet above the kitchen means that water and waste is flushed directly past the most important room in the house.

En-suite bathrooms are not recommended from a feng shui point of view, as they spread negative ch’i out into the bedroom. The remedy for this is to use extractor fans as well as natural ventilation to get the negative ch’I away from the bedroom itself. Ceramic surfaces can also act as a remedy for en suite toilets.

It is interesting to note that ceramic surfaces are frequently used in bathrooms and toilets around the world. Perhaps people subconsciously knew that these surfaces can act as a remedy for negative ch’i.  Naturally, there are remedies for any problems caused by the placement of the toilet and bathroom.

A mirror on the outside of the door will remove any problems caused by these rooms facing the front door, or being directly above it.

I hope that all of my Feng Shui tips will help you!

Feng Shui Tips – Part 10 – Dining Rooms

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

In Part 10 of Madonna’s Feng Shui Tips Madonna shares some Feng Shui Tips regarding how you may use Feng Shui to improve the positive energy (ch’i) flow of your dining rooms:

1) The dining room should be either a separate room or a clearly defined part of another room.

2) The dining room should not be at a lower level than the living room.

3) The best shaped dining room table is round, oval or octagonal. Ensure that your square or oblong tables have slightly rounded corners

4)  Do not overcrowd the people sitting at the table with too much furniture. This constricts the valuable ch’i. Avoid clutter. The simpler this room is the better.

5) Even if you live alone, have at least three chairs around the dining room table. Make sure that you do not sit in the same chair for every meal. If all the chairs are used, you will encourage guests into your home.

I hope all of my Feng Shui tips will help you!
