Feng Shui Tips
Feng Shui recognizes
that small problems can have a major effect on
your life, and that a
well kept home will always have better Chi than one
where maintenance
tasks have been allowed to pile up.
The entry to a home
or the doorway into rooms is where your first view is encountered. Doorways and
entrances to anything should feel welcoming.
They should be clear
and the pathway should allow ease of movement.
The Chi, (or energy
flow), should never be made stagnant at this point.
Pictures and
ornamental decorations in this area should be pleasing and
round leafed plants
in pots attract prosperity into the home. Another tip to remember is that if
you have doorways from front to back that are visible,
the flowing of energy
should be stopped from escape.
A Feng Shui cure for
this problem, can be by placing a plant as suggested
to the side of the
entry: thus creating an environment to capture the Chi
flow. The essence of
creating good flow and attracting harmony,
involves placement.

that small problems can have a major effect on
your life, and that a

can restrict your
freedom of movement, cloud your ability to
understand a
situation, make it difficult to take advantage of
opportunities, and
waste your resources.
