Ancient Oriental way of life is an inspiration to some people and plain superstition to others. There is a lot of interest in the practice of Feng Shui, both in the East and in the West. The guidelines influence each part of life for individuals who believe in it. In the last years, the New Age movement was influenced by elements such as wind chimes and crystals.
The core of the philosophy is the energy flow or lack of it. How objects are placed in relation to each other dictates this flow and has a positive or negative impact on the environment. The quality of the energy affects relationships, finance and health. Many people arrange the contents of their homes, following the rules and recommendations of FengShui. (Some call it Fen Shui or FenShui but its a mistake)
Different rooms in the home have different requirements and they have to be treated in a different way. The bedroom should have just one door and the bed should not be positioned in between the door and the window as this will result in troubled sleep. The bed should be constructed from wood and people should sleep at least 45cm above the floor and be facing the door. Pictures of wild animals or water as well as mirrors should be avoided. The windows should be draped by thick curtains and the walls should be painted in green,red or blue shades.
In the kitchen, the cooker and sink should not be adjacent as the proximity of fire and water can lead to conflict. Stoves should be installed in the south corner, the room must have a large doorway and microwaves are not recommended. Feng Shui is also applied to dining rooms and living rooms. There should be at least one wall without a window and the paintwork must be in bright colors. Elements that bring luck include mirrors to reflect food on the table, the hanging of family pictures and television sets or hi-fi systems that stand at the west wall.
Even the powder room has guidelines. To keep out negative energy, the toilet lid and door should be kept shut. The room should always be clean and having plants and pictures in there brings bad luck. Stairs must be brightly lit as a dark stairway can bring negative energy. Good chance will fall through open stairs and a spiral staircase will bring confusion. Entrance halls should also be brightly lit but be painted in soft colors. They should be warm and can be decorated with water features or plants. It's amusing to test Feng Shui and see its affects, if any.
