Feng Shui Rules for Your Home

Feng Shui Rules

When you are aware of traditional Feng Shui rules, you will pay more attention on what is surrounding your home, as well as what it is in your home. Based on that, you can pick up a good, beneficial location for your home and create a balanced place to live.

Feng Shui, defined as “the mindful art of placement” is not ‘just a new trend’. Not at all! It has been around for thousands and thousands of years. Meaning "wind-water", the origin of this term is from an ancient Chinese proverb that describes “the best place to live”.

Time proved that these principles are really working, and worth to be used. Then, what would be a good place to live?
 

Good Locations Based On Traditional Feng Shui Rules
 

• Probably one of the best places to have your home are close to a forest, lake, pond or bay; places with rich vegetation, ideally countryside, or small organic vegetable gardens

• If you must live in a city, then choose a place close to parks, gardens, art centers, colleges or universities, healing, holistic clinics or spiritual centers; more or less, anything that is inspiring, creative and peaceful

• Research and choose a good community that will resonate with your aspirations

• Power plants, dams, cell phone towers – they are not only bad Feng Shui, creating negative energy, but it is known that people living near them, especially children, have serious health complains

• Intersections, street corners, the end of a bridge – this are places considered to create poisonous arrows, triggering loss and poor health

Don’t underestimate the power of traditional Feng Shui rules: these rules may work wonders! However, it is important to remember that what is working for an individual, might not work at all for another. It is a very complex combination of factors that are working together, to determine the individual, final result.
