Feng Shui: How Do We Activate the Positive Energies in the House?

What does Feng Shui mean?

Feng Shui is a way to balance yourself, to create harmony around you. This is the conclusion I have reached from personal experiences, countless hours of reading, and putting into practice the rules drawn by this philosophical science.

The name Feng Shui originates from China and translates to Wind and Water. In Chinese culture, gentle wind and smooth running water have always been associated with continued prosperity and strong health.

Feng Shui aims to transform the space of a home into one in which the flow of energy (chi) is not interrupted, which has several beneficial effects on people around.

Feng Shui uses several tools to activate positive energies, the most common of which are crystals, flowers, fountains, mirrors, lucky coins, and wind chimes. Before going through the lines below, we recommend the article related to the Bagua Map, where you will find out which are the optimal sectors for the location of each object.

Crystal

The crystals are elements that help to activate the chi, these can be placed in almost all sectors of the home, except for the Career or Abundance area. By placing the crystals in either of these two areas you will bring bad luck to you, but in all other sectors, the crystals are known for their beneficial effects. We recommend that you use spherical crystals due to the amount of light they manage to capture.

Cut flowers

Flowers can improve your health or contribute positively to interpersonal relationships. Place red or pink roses in the bedroom, but don't forget to remove the thorns. When using freshly cut flowers you should not forget to remove them from the room when they have withered because the dead flowers bring negative energy into the interior. Artificial flowers are considered to be a successful alternative because they never die and continuously cause the intensification of positive energies. In connection with these, it is very important to permanently dust them.

Indoor plants

Plants are extremely favorable in the health sector. Choose indoor plants with healthy, green, and rounded leaves. Avoid cactus or sharp-leafed plants as much as possible.

Fountains

You can use fountains in places where you think a lot of activity will take place. When used correctly, they bring several benefits. On the other hand, if you misplace a fountain, it can create too much dynamism or even chaos. Avoid placing a fountain or any water source in the bedroom, as this may disturb you or prevent you from resting properly. The most suitable place to place a fountain is the Career sector within the office. In case you feel overwhelmed by too much work or activity, we recommend that you stop for a fountain period.

Mirrors

Mirrors have many purposes, but it's recommended to keep them away from the bedroom. They can be placed on the walls of the unfortunate areas of the house to reflect the positive energies on an opposite wall.

Place a mirror over the oven to double the level of prosperity. This will also be beneficial if you have your back to the door when cooking, helping you to see if someone is entering the room. The same goes for the office when you work with your back to the door.

An efficient way to stay away from unpleasant neighbors is to place a mirror face to face with the neighboring house. It is believed that this returns negative energies to them and can often cause them to move.

Lucky coins

Coins placed in a small bowl instead of Career or Abundance can bring you good luck. Intensify the power of these accessories by placing them on a red material (preferably silk) or by tying them with a red thread.

Windchime

Wind chimes favor an optimal flow of chi through two characteristics: sound and movement. These elements are beneficial in any area of ​​a room because they manage to bring good luck and remove bad luck.

If you feel that certain areas of your home are charged with negative energies, use these tools.
