FENG SHUI HOUSE TIPS

1. Brighten Up Your Entry

In feng shui, your entry represents how energy enters your home and your life. The entrance is the
first place to start when you want to create good feng shui in your home. Start with decluttering
and removing any debris. A lot of objects tend to accumulate at the front door. It doesn't need to be
empty but relatively uncluttered. Clearing out a space creates a place for the energy that enters
your home to collect and gather. Blocking energy is one of the essential things you should not do
in feng shui.

2. Commanding Position

Commanding position governs how you position yourself in life. Apply this position to the
location of your bed, desk, and stove. The bed represents you. The desk represents your career.
And the stove represents your wealth. When you are in these spaces, be sure that you can see the
door without being directly in line with it. For example, when you are lying in bed, sitting at
your desk, or cooking at the stove, you want to see the door. You might end up diagonal or
"kitty-corner" from the door.

3. Give Guests a Reason to Pause

Since energy enters through the main porta, you don't want to have it shoot straight up the stairs,
says the feng shui expert. When you invite a visitor into your home, it would be weird for them
to head straight to the fridge or the bedroom.

4. Balance the Five Elements

The five elements—earth, wood, fire, water, and metal—can be present in your home either
physically or symbolically. For example, you could bring the fire element with warm tones, like
reds and oranges, or you could have actual fire with a fireplace or a burning candle. For instance,
people having issues with aggression should be mindful of not having too many fire elements as
part of their décor. Conversely, personality types lacking motivation should infuse more of the
fire element in their homes to give them a boost.
 5. Maximize Natural Light
It should come as no surprise that natural light can make us feel happier and more positive.
"Mirrors in feng shui are like aspirin," Benko jokes. "They're prescribed often to treat many
ailments. They're a quick adjustment when you want to expand a space and bring in more
light." The key here is to be very mindful of what the mirrors reflect. Is it a stack of bills

6. Be Spacious

Clutter is often in the same sentence as feng shui, but feng shui is less about de-cluttering and
more about creating space. How do you make your life more spacious? Start with your home.
Find a physical spot: a drawer, room, corner of the refrigerator, desk—the size doesn’t matter—
and let go of what’s no longer necessary. When you let something go, you create an open space
to invite a new, fresh opportunity. And don’t beat yourself up if the space gets filled up. It’s how
the universe works.

7. Plants Bring Life Energy

In feng shui, plants embody life energy. What does that mean? Living greenhouse plants connect
to nature, bringing vibrancy into your home. Green plants are like a fresh-pressed organic green
juice for your home—they introduce freshness and vitality. Green, vibrant plants are one of the
key feng shui items for the home. The most important thing to remember is to find plants that
you can care for and that are appropriate for the space. For example, consider your lighting
conditions.
