Feng Shui in the apartment

How to choose an apartment in Feng Shui?

Feng Shui of an apartment begins with its purchase: the more favorable the housing will be, the less effort will be required to invest in its arrangement in the future.

Let's start with numbers: house, floor, apartment number. Feng Shui practice only recognizes single digits, so all numbers should be added. It is better to do this separately for each value. For example, apartment number 273, 2 + 7 + 3 = 12, 1 + 2 = 3. Number 3. Each number has its own meaning, the features of which can be used to your advantage:

1. The sun reigns, housing is ideal for representatives of creative professions, as well as those who are starting a new life.
2. Luna rules, the place is suitable for the life of young families: it helps to strengthen relations, the birth of children.
3. Mars - an ally of modern technology. The apartment and the house are suitable for gadget lovers, but be careful: the planet promises serious quarrels.
4. Mercury... Although in Asia the figure is considered negative (the hieroglyph resembles the spelling of the word "death"), all these are just prejudices. In Feng Shui, Mercury means wealth, financial independence, career growth.
5. Jupiter favors a strong spirit, but loves space and freedom: it is best for the room to be large, while remained uncluttered.
6. Venus a symbol of the family, the energy aura of the house is perfect for building a family nest, living with children.
7. Saturn - a nest of introverts. If life outside of society attracts you, look for an apartment under the lucky number 7.
8. Uranus loves money and will constantly throw up problems with it to household members in order to occupy the minds of this particular topic.
9. Neptune not about a career or family, but rather about health: you will live a long time, but there is also a downside. The nine literally feeds on the energy of the tenants: both positive and negative at once.

Feng Shui in the selection of an apartment makes demands not only on the numbers, but also on the location, shape, view from the window.

Location

The ideas of a better life among Chinese philosophers are not much different from the thoughts of any sane person.

• Correct It is considered to be located near a green park, a sports arena, a shopping center, gardens and schools.
• Unfavorable Feng Shui calls its neighbors hospitals, morgues, cemeteries, factories, prisons, as well as bars and wine glasses.

The history of the place is no less importantin which the house stands: try to avoid buying a house over old cemeteries, geological faults, dry swamps.

House shape

The ideal shape, according to Feng Shui, is P or horseshoe. In such a courtyard, qi energy is accumulated, which works as a kind of battery for all residents.

View from the window

Feng Shui of any space will only benefit if the main windows look inside the horseshoe (into the courtyard). The direction of the gaze to a beautiful city landscape, forest or park is also a plus for energy. Inappropriate considered a view of a dump, a prison, a cemetery, a factory, or the windows of neighbors.

The main zones and how to use them

The Taoist plan of the apartment differs significantly from the scheme from the BTI: the room is divided into 9 zones (sides), each of which has its own influence on one of the spheres of life. There are also energy boosters and things that weaken it: it is important to know and use them correctly.

You will need a compass to determine the places of power: Fortunately, most smartphones have it today.

How to equip an apartment?

When housing is purchased, zones are defined, it's time to move on to interior decoration.

Color

Smart use of the palette not only activates the desired zonesbut also helps to create the right overall suitable atmosphere.

For example, red accents, especially when paired with gold, help attract wealth. Blue calms, suitable for relaxation, spiritual search. Yellow activates a positive attitude.

Arrangement of furniture

For information on how to arrange furniture in each separate room, read here... And we propose to analyze the general rules of Feng Shui that apply to the entire apartment:

• Preference for objects with legs... It is advisable to “tear off” cabinets, wardrobes, a sofa, a bed from the floor.
• Proportionality... You cannot arrange many objects in a small room: the smaller the space, the fewer things there should be in it.
• Decorating corners... The joints must be “protected” from the accumulation of negative energy. Cabinets, racks, shelves, houseplants are best suited for this. The main thing is not the main items: you cannot put a sofa in the living room or a bed in the bedroom in a corner.
• No shelves or cabinets overhead... Many people like to mount a bed or sofa in a niche from the cabinets - you can put pencil cases on the sides, but it is not recommended to hang cabinets above the seat or berth, shelves are not recommended.

Features of different rooms

1. Hallway... The entrance to the apartment should not be located directly in front of an elevator or stairs. To “catch” energy, use the red color: where exactly the location of the zones will tell you.
2. Kitchen... It is desirable that the cooking area is not visible from the front door. Highlighting the kitchen space with a height difference is also unacceptable. The hearth, that is, the stove, is not installed opposite a door or window.
3. Living room... Take care of high-quality illumination, especially in corners and points far from the center - the light conducts Qi. In the center, be sure to put a table (preferably round, oval), next to it - upholstered furniture. The sofa and armchairs should not stand with their backs to the doors - it will be uncomfortable to sit in them. High-quality rest is possible only with free circulation of energy: avoid clutter, enough decor living plants, small accents.
4. Bedroom... The bed is always put first, in front of no portals - mirrors, doors.Remove from the room photos of other family members, children, give up the TV.

What do you need to know about doors and windows?

Doors

Should be proportionate (not small, not large), open into the room (especially residential), interroom it is advisable to choose one size.

Avoid layouts where doors are opposite each other.

Window

The moment of principle in all respects is opening... Exclusively sideways and inward, no up and down, outward. Too large (panoramic) as well as too small are also not suitable. If two windows are opposite each other - one should be curtained.

What about non-standard layouts?

Unfortunately, there are very few apartments that are absolutely correct in shape and location. But even if your home is located in an unfavorable area or its appearance does not fit into the representation of the ancient practice of Feng Shui, the situation can be corrected.

Narrow room

In the corridor, mirrors are hung in a wave-like fashion so that the energy passes inward (not opposite each other, but with an offset). The living room or bedroom can be divided by screens, partitions, as if zoning the space.

Take a look examples of the design of narrow rooms.

L-shaped layout

In Feng Shui, it is also better to divide the room, turning it into two separate rooms of the correct shape. If the corner “cuts off” one of the zones, large mirrors are placed in it - they make up for the lack of energy.

Wrong geometry

Rounded walls are one of the favorite original techniques of architects. Remember one thing: harmony cannot be seen without clear parallelism of the verticals, therefore rounding mask with partitions... You should also do with beveled corners - your personal task is to achieve a square or rectangular space.

Bay window

While all over the world these cute protrusions are considered the ultimate dream, the philosophy of Feng Shui does not accept them due to the violation of the correct geometry. To visually overlap the effect of a bay window, it is enough to enclose it - with curtains, a sofa, a screen.

What absolutely must not be done?

When making repairs and furnishing a room, we recommend avoiding:

• Rubbish... According to Feng Shui, the house is kept clean - not a single room is littered (especially the balcony!), They get rid of old, broken ones in time, unnecessary thingsempty trash can.
• Multilevel... Avoid podiums or notches. An exception is giving the room the correct shape - that is, the podium can be made on a bay window.
• Empty corners... Mask with anything - they are the source of Sha energy.
• Photos of distant relatives, deceased... The rule is simple: an image of only its tenants can hang in an apartment.
• Dark areas... There should be a lot of light - it is he who conducts the energy we need.

It is not easy to arrange housing according to all the rules of Feng Shui, but it is extremely interesting: do not spare your efforts so that soon the space will work for you.
