Looking for Effective Feng Shui Remedies?
Sometimes my clients look at me with pleasant surprise and relief when I tell them that they can get their Feng Shui remedies at a local garden center or home décor store. Some have already been assuming that they will need to make a trip to Chinatown or go on line to look for exotic trinkets to satisfy their Feng Shui needs. This is never necessary.
Ordinary items can be used and in fact, the more inconspicuous the remedies, the better. The range of possible solutions is vast, depending on what the design flaw or problem is.
We can break down the types of Feng Shui problems into several major categories.
CATEGORY #1: Problems with qi (chi) flow.
Due to some design flaws, like having a front door aligned directly with a back door, the air currents that go from one end of room to another will need to be buffered. This can be done with tables, chairs, lighting fixtures, live plants, partition screens or water features.
Common sense décor arrangements can fix many of these problems, without having to get wind chimes or bangles or any Chinese knick-knacks that might stick out like a sore thumb among conflicting design styles.
CATEGORY #2: The unseen energies.
The room might need a natural element added to balance the magnetic field of the room. The natural elements are water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Depending on the size and function of the room, a perfect selection can be chosen that is neither expensive nor hard to find.
Water can be a literal water fountain or aquarium. Wood can be a live plant or an abundance of green color. Fire can be an accent light used frequently or a large display of red color in a décor item or artwork. Earth can be represented by items made of stone, clay, or ceramics. Metal can be anything made of gold, silver, brass, bronze, iron or steel. If you look around your own dwelling, you can easily find items which could qualify as a remedy when put in the right location.
