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 4 – Curb Appeal

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

In Part 4 of Madonna’s Feng Shui Tips Madonna shares some Feng Shui Tips regarding how you may use Feng Shui to improve the “curb appeal” of your home and/or make your home more attractive, more comfortable and more balanced:

Here is a exercise that may be very revealing and make you see your home in a new light.

Take photos of the front of your home. (photos are very important you will see thing in photos that you do not normally see).

Start at the curb and take pictures as if you are a potential buyer.

We all view our homes with our emotions and it is hard to see it the same way a stranger would.

By doing this exercise you will be able to make the improvement that are needed. Not only for the sale of your home if you are wanting to do so …

But also for feng shui, it is very important to keep the front of your home clean and in good repair.

The placement of the front door is of extreme importance in feng shui.

The positions of the front door and the stove are the most important aspects in feng shui.

The size of your front door should be in keeping with the size of your house.

If the front door is overly large compared with the size of the house your fortunes will suffer.

If it is too small, ch’i is constricted and there will be disagreements in the family.

REMEDY Any shars that may be afflicting your front door.

This is the most important single aspect of feng shui.

Look for angled roof lings of neighboring houses, straight lines, streetlight poles, a single tall tree, and anything sharp, angled, pointed  or straight.

For instance, if your home is facing a T-junction you will need to make the road that heads towards your front door “disappear.”

A pa-kua mirror above the front door will do this.

Fences and trees can also create an effective remedy.

For those of you out there that are starting to get your home more attractive, more comfortable and more balanced, I hope my Feng Shui tips will help!

Feng Shui Tips – Part 3 – Entrance

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!
