In Part 3 of Madonna’s Feng Shui Tips Madonna shares some Feng Shui Tips regarding how to encourage more ch’i into your home:

The front door should be easy to locate.

If your guests find it hard to find, the ch’i will find it hard to find too.

A front door that opens in rather then out is better.

Doors that open out discourage ch’i from entering.

The front door should open onto a bright, well-lit room, giving a glimpse of part of the interior of the home.

We want the entrance foyer to appear expansive.

If the front door opens onto a small lobby area, the ch’i is constricted and confined.

The remedy for this is to put up a large mirror. The mirror should be large enough that it does not appear to cut off your visitors’ heads.

A mirror in this position makes the entrance area appear larger and encourages the ch’i inside.

It can be a good idea to place the mirror above a small side-table or other piece of furniture.

Fresh flowers or ornaments could be placed on top of this to help attract the ch’i indoors.

The interior should be well-lit to encourage the ch’i to enter.

Dimly lit and gloomy entrances discourage ch’i.

The remedy for this is to increase the amount of light in the entrance area. A chandelier would be perfect for this, as the crystals energize the ch’i and reflect it in every direction.

For those of you out there that are starting to get your home in balance, I hope my Feng Shui tips will help!

Feng Shui Tips – Part 2 – Basic Feng Shui Rules

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:58:43 +0000

In Part 2 of Madonna’s Feng Shui Tips Madonna shares some basic Feng Shui rules:

1) The bedroom should be kept clutter free, so the ch’i can flow freely.

2) If a doorway and the head of the bed share the same wall, it can make you restless and disturb your sleep and if there is a door to the bathroom on the same wall it should be kept closed.

Front Door:

Your front door represents you and your approach to life. We just come in and out of our doors without noticing anything. It can be an interesting exercise to enter your home and try to see all the things that a stranger would notice when he or she visits. Ideally you want your front path and front door to be cheerful and welcoming. But does it? Is your paint on the front door in good shape? Is all the front clean? Does your door bell work? If not this is all bad feng shui!!! If your front is welcoming, plenty of light, flowering plants and an uncluttered entrance all this creates good feng shui!

3) Your front door is of supreme importance in feng shui as it is the main location where ch’i enters the house. In feng sui we want the front door to be slightly larger than the back door. We do not want the beneficial ch’i to come in the front and go immediately out the back door.

4) The front door should be in proportion to the size of the house. If it is too large it will allow valuable ch’i to escape. This will cause financial problems.

5) We do not want the door too small either. If it is too small the amount of ch’i able to come in is restricted. This will cause finacial problems also. And also make your guests nervous and apathetic.

6) In feng shui your front door is the door most frequently used. So if you always come in and out of your home through a door other than the actual front door that becomes your front door in feng shui.

7) Your front door should be on the left side of the house. That means if you are standing inside your home the front door should be on the left side of the front of the home. I know you have no control over this if you are already living in your home., but for the ones buying a new home it is something to kept in mine.

The story behind this is that the dragon looks over the left-hand side of the house, and his energy and bountiful ch’i enters the more easily when the front door is located on this side.

A door in center is better than having the door on the right.

Front doors are also good to have facing east or south. That means that you will be warmed by the morning sun when you leave for work. This will put you in a better mood.

9) You do not want any shars to affect the front door. This is the single most important aspect of feng shui. The front entrance must be protected. The most serious shar of all occurs when the house is sited on a T-junction, with a street heading directly towards the front door. This is made worse if the street heads downhill towards you front door.

10) The path leading towards the front door can also create a shar if it consists of a straight line leading from the road to your front door.
There are remedies for all of this. Your can plant a hedge or put up a fence, so that the street is not longer visible. The path can be changed to a gentle curve or put something to make the path to a angle just before the front door. If you can’t do any of these things. You can put a pa-kua mirror above the door which will serve to eliminate the potential harm coming from these shars. A pa-kua mirror symbolically captures the shar and reflects it back where it came from.
