Arranging Feng Shui Furniture
Feng Shui is all about the good energy called chi, and its flow through a home. Chi should be balanced and flow easily without becoming stalled, depleted or stuck as it enters and leaves through doors and windows, moving through rooms around furniture and other objects, so it is guided by the arrangement of Feng Shui furniture.
Welcome Chi
There should never be clutter in a Feng Shui environment because chi enters the home through the front door and should move freely into the home without being blocked by walls or reflected away by mirrors. The entry should be clearly defined and bright. The arrangement of Feng Shui furniture in the living room should allow a leisurely flow of chi by keeping space between the furniture, which should be placed to keep the chi from flowing like water straight back out of the room. Remember to help it flow into the parts of each room that need energy and good fortune when you arrange your Feng Shui furniture.
For example, the East wall is for pictures of family and friends while the West wall is for stereo equipment. The television should be covered when not in use because of its electronic field, while residents receive support and protection from firm, soft chairs and seating against a wall. In the kitchen, avoid placing the stove either next to or opposite the sink or refrigerator since it creates a conflict between the elements of fire and water; the stove should be positioned in the South.
Accessories
Plants in general provide life energy, but spiky leaves create poison arrows of negative energy, while thorny plants like cactus make the chi sharp and angry. Plants can be cures for stale energy from protruding corners and exposed beams, and in particular flowering plants can bring the proper colors into the right part of a room to act as a cure for a specific life area.
Mirrors are a powerful type of Feng Shui furniture. Chi will go downstairs more slowly if there is a mirror at the bottom, and the shiny surface can keep chi from becoming stagnant by making small spaces seem larger and amplifying light. Use mirrors to multiply what is good -- they should reflect gardens, abundance, and beauty.
Crystals are good when they are positioned to be prisms, increasing chi. Wind chimes are also a great item of Feng Shui furniture, and chimes with six or eight rods amplify good luck, five rods depress bad luck and a chime with six or eight metal rods placed in the Northwest of the living room will attract influential people.
