Demystifying the most ignorant feng shui misunderstanding
During the process of renovating a home, many people tend to incorporate some Feng Shui principles, even if they aren't experts. While they may know a bit about it, they often miss out on important details that can affect the energy flow in their space. These small oversights might seem harmless, but they can actually lead to negative "qi" and impact your overall well-being and success. Experts have identified five common Feng Shui mistakes that should be avoided.
**Changing Rooms Without Caution**
If you've already purchased a house that doesn’t meet your expectations, it’s best not to make major changes or move. For example, doors shouldn’t face each other directly, as this can create obstacles and block the flow of positive energy. Traditional courtyard homes in Beijing were designed with this principle in mind. A "file" (a symbolic barrier) is usually placed at the entrance, and its orientation should follow a clockwise direction. If you're not satisfied with the layout, consider adjusting the interior design to compensate for any shortcomings in the original structure.
**The Kitchen and Wealth**
The kitchen is where the family gathers around fire, and food—like money—is considered a form of wealth. Therefore, the placement of the stove plays a significant role in attracting prosperity. If food is burned and cannot be eaten, it symbolizes burning money. In ancient times, kitchens were often separated from bedrooms, and the kitchen was considered a different space. Today, we refer to it more commonly as the "kitchen" rather than the "stove room," since it's often located in the same area as the living space.
**Door Placement and Fire Stability**
Ancient Feng Shui principles warned against placing the door directly opposite the stove, as this could cause instability in the fire, affecting both cooking and fortune. It also increases the risk of sparks and potential fires. In modern homes, it's important to ensure that the stove isn't visible from the front door. If it is, it could bring financial issues. However, if it's not visible, there's no need to worry about it being in view.
**Incorrect Use of Symbols**
A Longquan sword is believed to ward off negative energies, but it should only be placed in a study or office. It should never be in the bedroom or living room. Bagua mirrors are another powerful tool, but they must be used carefully. If you want to neutralize negative energy, a convex mirror is preferred. If a bank is directly opposite your home, a concave mirror can help attract wealth.
**Landscape Paintings and Waterfall Symbolism**
When hanging large landscape paintings at home, pay attention to the content. Many include waterfalls, which require a water pool beneath them to represent "saving money." Without a pool, the waterfall might symbolically wash away your family’s wealth. If you’re unsure, it’s better to avoid such paintings altogether. If you choose to hang a boat painting, make sure the bow faces inward; otherwise, it could represent a loss of money.
**Bamboo and Tree Placement**
Bamboo forests should not enclose the front of the house, especially the door or the road. The front should remain open to allow positive energy to flow in. Trees should not block the door, as this is considered the "heart" of the home. It’s best to plant trees on the left side of the house, known as the Qinglong (Green Dragon) side, which represents protection and good fortune. Tree roots should not enter the house, and branches should not reach the windows, as this can cause health issues. Windows are like eyes, so anything blocking them can lead to eye-related problems.
**Choosing the Right Room**
Some people mistakenly believe that the master bedroom must be the largest one, but that’s not always the case. A good Feng Shui layout depends on factors like natural light, ventilation, and function, not just size. Don’t assume that the biggest room is automatically the best. Sometimes a smaller room with a great view and good airflow is more beneficial for your well-being and success.
