Practices... - Feng Shui - Cures to Missing Areas

Once missing areas are discovered, the only way to reverse the problems is by activating the energy in those corners through cures.

1. Light producing objects such as mirrors, crystals, and lights. These objects help to lift and expand the ch´i.

Mirrors are called the aspirin of Feng Shui. You should not use a tiled mirror and also be careful not to cut the head off of yourself. Always think about what the mirror is looking at.

Imagine a mirror on the opposite wall, directly across from the missing area. This would help enhance the space in this section which, in turn, would resolve the problem.

Do not place a mirror in a dark hallway as this would only enhance the darkness, and would contribute to the problem rather then solve it.

*Use your intuition, but simply when looking into the mirror just be aware of what it sees.

2. Sound in the form of windchimes, or music. These areas help stimulate the natural flow of ch´i, and by circulating the energy the problem can be resolved.

Windchimes are extremely beneficial in dark hallways. For example if your staircase from the front door of your house leading to na upper level is crowded and dark the energy will not circulate. To remedy this, place windchimes at the top of the entranceway to help circulate the energy. Another benefit to placing chimes at the top of your stairs in this situation is that it will stop energy from being lost out the front door of your home.

3. Moving objects like windmills, flags, and mobiles. These objects have a similar effect to the windchimes. They help distribute the energy in the house and stop energy from being lost.
4. Life force represented by fish, pets, or plants. These are all living species and hold a positive life force within them.
5. Weight and heavy objects in the form of statues or rocks. These items assist in holding down the energy in that area.
6. Colours. Certain colours help enhance different aspects of your life.

 

Career	= Black or White
Knowledge	= Blue, Green, or Black
Family/Ancestors	= Blue, Green, or Black
Wealth	= Red, Purple, Blue, or Green
Fame	= Red, Green
Marriage/Romance	= Red, Pink, or White
Children/Creativity	= White, or Yellow
Support	= Black, White, or Grey
Center Ch´I	= Yellow, Orange, or Brown

 

You can choose to paint a certain wall the colour that relates to that section of the room in order to enhance it. For example if enhancing your career is your main focus then you may choose to paint that part of the room or your entire room white. Another example is if you have young children and want to increase the creativity section of your children´s play room, you may choose to paint the entire room yellow or just the section of the room that is related to the children and creativity segment.

Objects or posters of those colours can also be placed in desired sections, if the entire colour for that room is not desired.

7. Hydraulic power from water fountains. Fountains produce the sound of moving water which helps to move the energy of your home.
8. Energy from fire-producing objects such as appliances, computers, and stereo systems. These systems produce sound, and keep the vital energy alive.
9. The Chinese Flute. These are red tassled hangings that are hung from the ceiling and are very effective in cureing beam and bathroom problems. These flutes, like the Bagua, can be purchased in any Chinatown store.

If a beam is lower then the ceiling, energy will stagnate and there will be a feeling of pressure on the self. To remedy this problem hang the flutes from the ceiling. This will help create a feeling of a higher ceiling and circulate the energy flow.

If the look of the hanging flutes is not desired they can be hidden, for example behind plants.
