A Beginners Guide on Residential Feng Shui

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese knowledge with its origin close to 6,000 years ago. It explains how the placement of objects affects the energy flow in your space, and by extension your personal energy flow. Feng shui takes the approach that your surroundings affects not just your level of material comfort, but also your physical and mental health, relationships and success.

When it comes to residential Fengshui, symmetry and the yin and yang principle are essential. The main aim is to find balance and harmony in your life through environmental analysis. Feng shui makes it possible for you to uncover the potential of your home and make it work for you.

For starters, we will examine how to apply residential Fengshui at the front door. Well, the front door is known as the ‘Mouth of Chi,’ where the energy enters your home. If left unused, the front door becomes stagnant, which means there is no energy entering your home. To attract positive energy, ensure that you pay close attention to the front door.

One of the best ways to go about this is by honestly reviewing the entrance. Is the hardware polished, and do you have signage to attract visitors to the property? Be sure to place a pair of planters, with healthy plants either side of the door itself. No trees, shrubs, plants should be in front of the door, obstructing the flow of energy into the home.

If you have the advantage of installing a new front door, then go for a solid design without any windows, to minimize the feeling of insecurity and vulnerability. Consider using a powerful Feng Shui color. A beautiful red, which in Feng Shui is ideal for attracting fame, recognition, and abundance, or a glossy black door is the color that relates to life’s journey and career.

When it comes to the bedroom, your Feng Shui master for HDB will tell you that the bed needs to be located in the command position, so you are able to see the entrance of the room, looking toward the door but not opposing it directly.

The bed shouldn’t be positioned under a window since you need a solid wall for maximum support. Rather, it should be along the entrance wall with you unable to see who is entering, nor against a party wall. Always have a word with your Feng Shui master for HDB in Singapore when organizing this.
