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!

In Part 11 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 bedrooms: 
1) The ideal position for the bed is diagonally as far as possible from the entrance to the room.
2) The foot of the bed should not directly face the door to the room.
3) Make sure that you can see anyone coming into the room without turning your head more than forty-five degrees. Use a mirror, if necessary, to enable you to easily see anyone coming in the doorway.
4) The bed should not be placed under a beam. If there is no alternative, it is better for the beam to run the length of the bed, rather than the width.
5) Place the bed against a solid wall, if possible, rather than under a window.
6) A round mirror in the bedroom will enhance your relationship.
7) Do not place a mirror directly in front of the foot of the bed. If you wake up during the night, you may startle yourself by seeing your reflection.
8 ) The bed should be accessible from both sides if you want to attract a partner into your life.
9) Allow sufficient room under the bed for the ch’i to flow. We want the ch’i to circulate above, below and on at least one side of the bed. If underneath the bed is used as a storage area, you are probably constricting the ch’I and not gaining the full benefit of the bed.
10) Do not place the dresser directly opposite the door, as this can lead to relationship problems. Dressers usually have mirrors which, in this position, reflect the beneficial ch’I in the bedroom, creating apathy and lack of passion for the people using the room.
11) A live plant can help stimulate the energy of a bedroom. However, do not have too many plants in this room as they can use up all the available ch’i
I hope all of my Feng Shui tips will help you improve the positive energy (ch’i) flow of your bedrooms!

In Part 8 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 living rooms:
The living room should be close to the front door and on the same level.
If the living room is on a lower level to the front door and effective remedy is to hang a crystal in the center of the room to encourage the ch’i upwards. Potted plants can also be a attractive remedy.
Do not place couches or chairs under exposed beams. This can cause overhead shars and can be oppressive and create discord. Two bamboo flutes hung from the beam act as a remedy if there is no alternative but to place the furniture under the exposed beam.
A fireplace makes a focal point in the room and creates warmth and cheer. However it can also allow the ch’i to escape up the chimney. The remedy for this is to hang a mirror over the fireplace to reflect the ch’i back into the room.
In many homes all of the furniture is oriented towards the fireplace. Although tis may make good sense in winter, it is better feng shui if at least some of the chairs face each other to encourage conversation.
It is also common to have all the chairs facing the television . The television creates positive ch’i in the room, because it produces light and sound, but it can also kill conversation.
The furniture in the room should be a mixture of yin and yang. This means that the some items should have square corners and others round. Some authorities insist that everything have round corners, but this is not practical, and is likely to concentrate peoples thoughts on the money. It is better to create a harmonious mixture of furniture that you personally find attractive.
The living room should be well-lit, but make sure that the lights are not too strong and harsh. Balance the overhead lights with table or floor lamps to light up different parts of the room. Place a pa-kua over a floor plan of the room to determine the positions that you want to activate.
The wealth sector is particularly strong in the living room. Make sure this sector is well lit to reap the rewards that you deserve. It is also an excellent place for a prized possession, a potted plant, or the television.
You may like to organize your furniture to make the wealth sector the focal point of the room. Other good areas to highlight in this way are the marriage and family sectors. Alternative is if the room is not large you may place comfortable chairs in all of these sectors, arranged in such a way as to encourage conversation.
Negative ch’i is created in the living room when two doors directly face each other at opposite ends of the room. If possible, use a screen to hide one of the doors. Alternative is to place a wind-chimes or hang a crystal by one of the doors this acts as a remedy. A door and a window opposing each other also create negative ch’i as do two windows. The remedy is to keep the blinds pulled over one of the windows.
If the opposing doors form a passage that is used all the time, try and arrange the furniture so that entertaining in this room is not affected by people walking through the room. If the doors are near a wall a mirror will remove the shar-like effects of the straight line through the room.
I hope all of my Feng Shui tips will help you!

In Part 7 of Madonna’s Feng Shui Tips Madonna shares some Feng Shui Tips regarding how you may use Feng Shui to improve the balance of your bathrooms: 
The toilet and bathroom are extremely important rooms in the house as they are places where water (money) drains away.
The ch’s should be allowed to flow smoothly into and out of these rooms without impediment.
Consequently, overly ornate bathrooms are not good from a feng shui point of view as they tend to hold the ch’i inside the room.
In fact, the Chinese prefer relatively simple, functional bathrooms with little in the way of ornaments or other decorations.
All the same, you should make this room a pleasant one with delicate colors and one or two objects that you find attractive.
A potted plant can also help encourage ch’i into this room
Green and blue colored towels help you relax, while at the same time, encourage the water to flow freely down the pipes. Blue is also a good feng shui color for the bathroom and toilet as it relates to the water element.
If the bathroom is located in the middle of the house in the good luck area, it will send negative ch’I through out the house. It will also send all your good luck down the down the toilet. If the toilet is located here, it is known as a “dead” toilet. The remedy for this is to place mirrors on all four walls inside the bathroom, which symbolically make the room disappear. It is also a good idea to place a mirror on the outside of the door to a dead toilet.
The other unfavorable locations for the toilet and bathroom are in the southwest, northeast, south, and beside or facing the front door. It is believed that if the toilet and bathroom are placed in the southwest and northeast the occupants will squabble and not get along with each other. If if is placed beside or in front of the front door. It is believed that the occupants will get a bad reputation
The bathroom also should not be located at the end of a long hallway, as this creates a shar heading directly toward it. This means that the beneficial ch;i that has come in through the front door ends up in the toilet! The remedy for this is to keep the lid down on the toilet and to keep the toilet door closed. It would also be beneficial to place a mirror on the outside of this door to make the room symbolically disappear.
These are traditional interpretations, and there is a remedy for each of these locations. A mirror on the outside of the door reflects the ch’i away from the toilet and bathroom.
Mirrors are necessary inside the bathroom, of course. Avoid mirror tiles though, as they create a netting effect that constricts the flow of money.
Light colors are better than dark ones in the toilet and bathroom. Different shades of blue to represent the water, element make a good choice. However, any color works well here. Except for red ( as water and fire oppose each other)
The one exception to a simple, purely functional bathroom is when it is located in the marriage sector of your home. If it is located here, make the bathroom as beautiful and as attractive as possible. Display favorite ornaments and hang a crystal from the ceiling to encourage the ch’i.
Ideally, the bathroom should have a window to allow light and ch;i to enter. This is because the bathroom is considered a negative location in feng shui. We do not want all the love and romance to be symbolically flushed down the toilet.
Enhance and beautify this room by encouraging ch’i in and effectively remedying what is normally a negative situation.
I hope my Feng Shui tips will help you!

In Part 6 of Madonna’s Feng Shui Tips Madonna shares some Feng Shui Tips regarding how you may use Feng Shui to improve the balance of your kitchens:
Image via Wikipedia
Kitchens should be well lit and have a feeling of spaciousness, as the kitchen symbolizes the family’s wealth.
Being well lit encourages as much ch’i as possible into the room.
If it is dark and gloomy, you will not want to spend any time there.
The cook should be able to see anyone who enters the room without turning his or her head more than forty-five degrees.
If this is not possible, place mirrors to allow the cook to see the doorway.
The stove must be kept clean and in good condition, as it relates directly to the wealth of the family.
Use all of the elements on your stove as this helps your prosperity.
Keep the kitchen well stocked with food to give the impression of abundance.
Try to conceal all pipes and drains, as they symbolize wealth draining away.
The Kitchen should have an airy, spacious, and welcoming feel. This will ensure plenty of ch’i to come to your kitchen.
I hope my Feng Shui tips will help you!

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!
