Multitaskers Mirrors bring light into a dark space, push away negative energy, activate a stagnant room, energize a missing corner, and double positive and negative energies. If you place a mirror behind a plant, you are doubling living energy, However, if a mirror reflects garbage, you are doubling the trash. Crystals which are round, faceted, clear glass that refract light , circulate energy. These crystals are usually hung from ceilings at specific lengths to influence energy. Crystals slow down energy in staircases, disperse fast moving energy in long hallways, stimulate stagnant corners, circulate energy within a room, soften sharp edges, and create rainbows of color when hung in windows. These crystals send waves of energy in equal currents in all directions. Wind Chimes are important conductors in Feng Shui. Metal wind chimes made of long, hollow cylindrical tubes are best. They slow down and disperse energy, deflect negative energy away from the outside of the house, and circulate energy in closets and basements. When hung at the door, they send out a positive message. Chimes summon prosperity when hung above the stove. When choosing one for outside the home, make sure it is pleasing and harmonious to you. You dont need to hear the sound when it is hung indoors. The metal of the tubes is used to circulate the energy. |

Energizers Plants and Flowers give oxygen and recycle air, evoke serenity, and circulate healing energy. They affect energy by bringing in new opportunities. With specific placement, plants enhance health, love, success, and wealth. Plants neutralize the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields coming from appliances and electronics. They raise energy in stagnant corners and slow energy down in long corridors and stairwells. Thriving plants add warmth and charm to your home or office. The best type of plants are upward-growing with round leaves. Do not use cacti. Discard dead plants, dried flowers, and potpourri. They are dead energy. You may use live or silk plants. Live plants produce and circulate energy. Silk plants and flowers circulate energy, but they do not produce it. Placing small silk plants on both sides of the base of the toilet insulates the negative energy. Keeping the negative energy close to the floor will help prevent it from contaminating healthy energy. Good areas where adding plants will increase the flow Corners Place a plant in a corner to avoid stagnation and to increase and lift the energy. Bathrooms hang a plant in the bathroom to increase healthy energy Long Hallway Stagger large bushy plants in a hallway to slow down energy. Sharp protruding corner Place a plant beside a pointed corner or place ivy hanging down over the corner to soften the energy. Lighting and lamps raise oppressive energy from low ceilings, uplifts energy in a dark space, activates a stagnant corner, attracts attention outside the front door. Night-lights kept on twenty-four hours a day energize small spaces without using too much electricity. These are especially useful in bathroom, closets, basements, and hallways. Additionally, fireplaces and candles generate energy from the light and heat that they produce. Adding scented candles to various places in your home will boost the energy and provide relaxation at the same time. Water Features are very powerful energizers when placed properly. Water, which is aligned with prosperity and health, is a key element in feng shui. Incorporating water features inside and outside your environment brings beauty to your eyes, music to your ears, and harmony to your spirit. Moving water can provide energy to a static corner, stimulate your finances, and replenish energy that is missing from an area of your home. Since water symbolizes money, the bubbling water in fountains and aquariums creates a continuous circulation of wealth and abundance around you. A water fountain in your living space invites nature indoors. The sound of water from your fountain will mask unwanted noise and increase negative ions, creating a sense of well-being and ease Keep the water clean and running continuously. Aquariums are considered a double enhancement since they combine bubbling water with the life force of colorful swimming fish. Fish symbolize wealth and are considered good luck. In addition, water fountains (with the water running toward the house to bring in prosperity) and fish ponds placed outside the home can increase prosperity and abundance. |
Illuminators To illuminate is to enlighten, vitalize, and inspire. In Feng Shui, color, and artwork are considered illuminators, and can be used to paint the life you want to live. Illuminators can motivate, rejuvenate, and harmonize you and your space. They can bring joy or unhappiness. Color used in your home can make a major difference in the energy of your home. Bold red enhances the wealth and fame centers, deep blue strengthens knowledge, solid black supports career, soft pink stimulates love, and refreshing green promotes health and family. Artwork is a powerful tool to relax, motivate and inspire you. The artwork that you display should be positive, colorful, and abundant. Seascapes and landscapes bring in nature and soothe the soul. Colorful gardens with a multitude of flowers and trees are excellent feng shui. The best places to display art are across from your front entrance and opposite your bed.
Stabilizers Placing heavy, solid objects in various areas can steady a tumultuous relationship, health problem, or job issue. Sometimes the energy in your home is actually moving too quickly. This can cause an imbalance. You may feel overwhelmed or irritated in a particular room. Place stabilizers outside to slow down and calm the energy rushing towards your front door. Heavy objects absorb and block forceful energy, allowing you to feel solid and in control of your daily life. Placing heavy, solid objects in various areas can steady a tumultuous relationship, health problems, or job issue. Heavy objects placed in long corridors and at the bottom of staircases stabilize the space. Natural stones and rocks have additional value since they hold the natural energy of the earth. Pottery, stone sculptures, big pieces of furniture and planters are also objects to use. On the other hand, too many weighty objects can cause a heavy feeling in the home and may bring things to a standstill. Simply adding a plant to the top of a large piece of furniture will move the energy, increasing the balance.

Generating Wealth Abundance Wealth is desired by many people who are practicing Feng Shui to improve their quality of life. Wealth is not everything, but without wealth, many things tend to be missing in our lives. So, why not live a more luxurious life? It is not a sin. The most important corner to increase wealth luck is southeast. Consider enhancing your southeast corner of living rooms, dining and bedrooms to enjoy more money luck and sudden windfall. But never put wealth symbols in toilets and kitchen. Arrange this area to promote positive flow of chi by placing wind chimes, crystals, fountains, frogs, wealth coins, and other objects which have a powerful role to attract auspicious chi. This area is the most important in your home since it represents your family's wealth and prosperity. By enhancing this area you can encourage prosperity and financial security for all members of your family. This area is not only related to finances and luck but also to self-empowerment. TIPS: Place your office, accounts office or any matters that involves profitability in this corner of the building. Water fountains placed in this area would greatly activate the wealth sector. If the wealth area is dark, attract positive energy by placing a lamp with a low-wattage bulb in the area and keeping it on all the time. |
