 Decorating
and Feng Shui
Fengshui-the
ancient science of tapping in the qi-energy has suddenly
gained prominence globally. Even skeptical westerners
are falling for it hook, line and sinker. World renowned
Masters trot the globe as consultants to impart valuable
knowledge to wannabes. Dragons, Buddha’s, pagodas,
wind chimes et al. glut the markets and most homes and
even offices resemble miniature China town! Welcome to
the world of Fengshui.
Even
plants, water, brass plates, bells, mud are all used as
decoration in Feng shui. Based on the kua or the birth
date, these decorations can be placed in a certain
sector, facing the individual’s best direction. This
ensures he gets what is already freely available in
nature!
The
most important aspect of Feng shui is not to clutter the
space. Be it office or home you need the energy to flow
in and out freely. A laughing Buddha smiling at you at
the entrance to the home is a welcome sign. Wind chimes
tinkling in the wind play soothing music to the ears and
create an ambience of peace at home. A little mini flute
made of bamboo can remove the negativity from your home
and help the positive energy to flow in. A water
fountain at your fame or wealth corner can enhance your
life considerably.
Even
plants play a major role in Feng shui. Bamboo also known
as dracaena is a green growing plant which can be kept
in a bowl of water anywhere in the house or office. If
it is a commercial establishment then it is better to
place it at the cash counter. This indicates growth and
prosperity. The same goes for money plant also. If you
have a kitchen garden or a lawn try and keep flowering
plants in plenty. For those of you in high rise a box at
the kitchen counter or on the window sill or indoor
plants will do wonders. Try and balance the yin and yang
of Feng shui in your garden by contrasting the texture
of rock and water. Plants on the terrace or doorway
attract the vital energy into your house.
Last
but not the least the décor plays a major role in
decorating your house. Colors have a soothing effect on
our minds. A light or pastel shade will give the room an
airy appearance as well as pleasant to the eyes. Avoid
red and dark colors as they are harsh and irritate
people’s eyes. A pastel shade may uplift your spirits
and keep you in a good mood.
In
home décor when you are choosing colors to paint your
living room choose a bright color as you will be
entertaining people there. For a bedroom choose light
and mellowed colors to soothe your mind. Hang some
romantic paintings or wall hangings on the wall opposite
to the bed.
Do
not keep items which have no use in the house. Get rid
of them. Unnecessary chi is getting collected there and
unable to flow out. Follow these simple steps of Feng
shui to lead a healthy living.
