Resolution and revolution!

Tips for the New Year

In Feng Shui, the main entrance is called the ‘Mouth of Chi’. It is where the good fortune, blessing, and opportunities come in your life. Front door needs to open inwards, allowing beneficial chi to enter the house, but the windows should open outwards to allow the good chi to circulate in the room.

Make sure that your name plate, your house or office number is clearly visible for all to see. It should be well lit in the evening, the clearer identification will help you for the betterment of your career.

Place healthy plants near the door area make a space feel attractive.

Wind chimes at the entrance are an invaluable aid to strengthening your health.

Place a fountain or cascade of water outside your front door, on the right hand side of the door as you enter. This allows good fortune and prosperity to flow into your house.

Vaastu and Feng Shui associate food with wealth and abundance, so keeping a well-stocked fridge is one way to ensure prosperity. Keep your kitchen clean, well-stocked with fresh vegetables and fruits.

Refill your sugar reserves in the kitchen to ensure sweet and prosperous year ahead.

Place a bowl with fresh oranges in your kitchen or dining table to bring in good health and longevity.

Make sure that all drains are free flowing to stimulate flow of finances.

When money is running low and looking which side to go, the answer is northern area of your house. This area is of Kuber (Lord of wealth) can really do wonders, keep this area well-lit.

Place a model of a sailing ship facing inwards. This symbolise the boat sailing on smooth waters, carrying abundance to you and your family.

Opening your windows and doors for a moment to let the previous year’s energies move out and some new interesting ones come in.

Avoid sleeping between the two doors, as it makes you quarrel a lot with your spouse.

Always keep the toilet door shut and insist that the members of the house keep the lid of the pot down to suppress any loss of chi.

Sea salt has a very Yang quality; I would suggest putting two/three tablespoon of it in a dish and place it on the window sill for success.
