The front door, or the main door, is very important in Feng Shui, no matter we are speaking of the front door of a home or the front door of a business. In Feng Shui, the house gets its Chi, or energy nourishment through the front door, so the stronger, healthier and more balanced the front door is, the stronger and better the quality of energy available for those who live in the house.

Excerpt from:
What is A Strong Feng Shui Front Door?

When you study Feng Shui, you will find that certain areas of the home are associated with different parts of your life. In order to change those parts of your life that you don't like, you need to change the corresponding parts of your home. Here is a tip for how to change your health. What's in the Center? - Whether you've been sick for a while or a new illness has just come up, the best way to start bringing in new health is to look to the center of everything in your life. If you have clutter in the middle of your room, you need to clean it up and get rid of it. If the center of your room is under your bed, you need to remove anything that is under your bed. You also want to remove any first aid supplies or medicine from this area as it invites more disease into your life. This is especially important in bathrooms and medicine cabinets that are centrally located. Find a new place for your first aid things.

Feng Shui - What’s in the Center

When we want more luck in our lives, we tend to turn to superstitions and other things that make us feel more confident. In Feng Shui, the elements are some of these lucky items that can help you bring more money and luck into your life. Here's a tip. Wood is Good - Another material that is associated with good chi (energy) and money is wood. By adding pieces of wood or wooden sculptures to the wealth area of your home and rooms, you will be able to create more money energy. Think about hanging a piece of wood with money symbols or perhaps find a piggy bank that's made of wood to put into your home. Any wooden piece that you can find and display will help to attract money energy. You can also use basic pieces of furniture like a coffee table that's made of wood to satisfy this Feng Shui principle.

There are many posts regarding feng shui for bedroom in my previous post. In this post, it is mainly the selection and placing of a bed. In a Feng Shui audit, bedroom is one of the key section/location that a Feng Shui Master will not overlook. One of the key factor to consider is the buying of new bed. What to look out for when buying a new bed ? A good bed with feng shui consideration will improves the aspect of one life, be it career, health and love. 1. THE QI/CHI An ideal bed should have legs to raise the bed above the ground to allow the chi to ciculate undernealth the bed. This will assists in healing and helps to improve the health of the person who sleep on the bed. 2. NO STORAGE OF ITEMS UNDER THE BED Chi need to circulate undernealth the bed. If there are items under the bed, the chi will not circulate, thus causing bed health. No sharp objects, like metel etc. 3. SPACE AT BOTH SIDE OF THE BED Placing of bed also needs to consider the landform. Both side of the bed should be equal and balance. No items higher than the bed head should be placed directly next to the bed, in order not to cause harm to the couple sleeping on the bed. Space at both side of the bed will allows the chi to flow. 4. MATTRESS SIZE A queen bed is prefferred over a king size bed. Mattress should be in one complete piece. Never use two mattress side by side in one bed. This is will suggest a seperation for a couple who sleep together in this bed. 5. HEADBOARD and FOODBOARD All bed should have a firm and stable headboard. Some headboard are made of rods and some are split in the middle (modern design), these type of headboard should be avoided. A firm, stable and solid headboard will provides protection to health and relationship. There is not necessary to have footboard. Have a good and healthy sleep, wake-up feel energise.

Steps to a Proper Feng Shui Bed

Mirrors are called the aspirin of Feng Shui for a good reason. With the proper placement of mirrors, you can considerably shift the Feng Shui energy flow and create better Feng Shui in a home or office. A mirror facing the main door is one of the two big taboos in Feng Shui (second one being a mirror facing a bed.) The reason it is not recommended to have a mirror facing the main door is because the mirror pushes away all the good Feng Shui energy that is about to enter the house. In Feng Shui it is considered that the house absorbs energy (Chi) through the main door, similar to a human face absorbing nutrition through the mouth. This is why the main door is often called the mouth of a house in feng shui. Distance will only slightly change the effect of the mirror facing the main door, so if you have a mirror directly facing the main door, best Feng Shui advice is to remove it. If you cannot remove the mirror, for example if the mirror is built-in and you are renting the place, or if you have mirrored closet doors facing the main door, then you have to look for creative solutions. Feng Shui always works best when it is applied in a creative and subtle way. So, cover the mirror with some creative applique, for example, or paint over it with a washable paint in a great color. Other suitable Feng Shui solutions: Have a lush, big plant in front of the mirror. Tastefully hang a suitable size piece of art over the mirror, be absolutely sure it looks good. Have a tall enough piece of furniture centered on the mirrored wall. Again, you have to be sure it looks good. Have applique, or decorative stickers on the mirror (Ikea has some great wall or mirror stickers.) Look for creative ideas to solve your problems, and you will attract good feng shui.
