Feng Shui in the home
Feng Shui is a spiritual way of life that helps you to imbibe the positive forces of the universe, of animate with inanimate and that of the soul with that of the universe, so that you get the positive energies of the universe flowing through the entire spaces in your house. All the spiritual principles of the Feng Shui also have a strong scientific foundation underlying it.
A Feng Shui house is a house where all the objects are in perfect harmony to each other, Believe it or not, every single household or decorative object in your home is just as imbued with life energy as the natural wonders beyond your front door and it has a scientific basis for it.

Feng Shui recognizes nine power areas inside buildings some have excellent supportive energy, some are much less favorable, helps you to take beneficial and effective actions in your home or living space so that your house can have an optimal flow of Chi.
By exploring Feng Shui design ideas, you can take the most beneficial and effective actions in every part of your house or the problem areas to encourage the optimal flow of Chi. While experimenting with the Feng Shui design ideas, it is important to keep in mind that instead of using the Feng Shui design in the whole house , it is best to target particular problem areas first and then move systematically from room to room as a means of improving Chi flow in all parts of your living space.

Feng Shui Color
Whether you are planning the color scheme of your home, the guiding principle in using Feng Shui Colors should be to achieve balance rather than excess. Each element in Feng Shui is associated with a colorThink of yin energy as like a plant growing from the earth. It comes from the soil, raising itself upward and moving toward the sky. As yin energy moves up to the sky it becomes more diffused and dissipated. Yin energy is the passive energy. Yin energies have an element of dreaminess about them.Colors like blue, white, green and purple according to Feng Shui are believed to have yin energies.

Feng Shui Furniture
Feng Shui furniture placement is a key element when trying to influence the flow of energy in a home. The best Feng Shui furniture placement does not block or distort the flow of Chi. Do not cram furniture or accessories into a tight space. Energy needs to move freely underneath furniture as well. Furniture too low to the ground blocks the flow. The furniture in a living room should be positioned to face the front door. If it isn’t possible to place the furniture this way, hang mirrors on the wall so the front door can be viewed. People feel less vulnerable when the furniture is facing whoever can enter the room. Furniture placement should be at least three feet separating pieces of furniture from each other. Hang artwork at eye level and consider the Feng Shui bagua when placing accessories around the furniture.  The furniture placement should convey a sense of a cozy atmosphere, comfort and good conversation. Empty space is necessary for a good flow of energy.
