Why change 27 things specifically?
Feng Shui isn’t about making grandiose changes all at once. Many people think that in order to see results, they need to completely redecorate their homes or offices from top to bottom. But this isn’t the case!
“Feng Shui is all about making small, intentional changes that will have a big impact on your life.” – Tvisha Korada Mishra.

So here are some pointers to begin your transformation and Feng Shui your way to a better life.
Here is a list of things /changes you can make to your environment to get you started :
Keep the entrance clear
Shoe bags and backpacks for kids sports equipment, what do you think of it? It’s obvious all things tend to pile up at the front door. However, clearing the entrance/entry way is vital when it comes to achieving a happy lifestyle at home or work. If the entrance is blocked, it prevents the entry or restricts the possibility for new income or wealth and opportunities from entering your space.
Get rid of clutter everywhere
Decluttering will help you get rid of any negative energy that might be holding you back. All those who spoke to us agree that clutter promotes stagnation in energy. A clean home or office premises filled with everything you love or do regularly helps create positive energy flow. If you don’t use or love something, get rid of it! This includes old clothes that no longer fit, expired food in the pantry or office drawers, extra furniture and anything else that’s just taking up space.
Throw out items with negative associations
Feng shui aims to promote your well being and create harmony to change your life for the better. So, keeping things that remind you of a negative memory will increase the negativity of your personal atmosphere and you will always feel that the Chi’ / energy in that ‘one room’ in your home always feels off and you do not enjoy spending time in it. Similarly, if you store crutches or gear from a previous accident (that is no longer needed) in a cupboard it’s advisable to throw them out or give them away.All Images credits – Canva.
Artwork as motivation
Art forms an extension of our personality. When singles want partners, avoid ‘singular object’ photos. Same with businesses, it is a smart strategy to display your product and services instead of a random abstract painting. For those wanting to attract love and relationship luck choose pictures that show couples, children or groups for your bedroom. One more rule of thumb: Pick objects contributing the energy of the place. Keep an eye on something uplifting. Don’t bring in depressing artwork like depiction of war or storm, that causes negative energy.
Declutter your hallways
Feng Shui states that if the hallways are cluttered or blocked it can restrict and slow down the flow of positive energy from one space/room to the next. It is essential to have a clear path so that good fortune can find its way into your home or office and nourish different areas of your home.
Mend broken items
The damage to food and cooking equipment can result in poor health or poverty. It is suggested you discard all cookware or dinnerware with dents and chips. Broken items also represent a lack of stability, neglect and disregard for the health, wealth & in general well being of your home & in your life. If items that are broken, chipped, in disrepair, things that do not work cannot be fixed or mended, then you should discard them right away.
Replace withered or dying plants
Healthy plants add uplifting and stimulating effects to your interior spaces. However, the dead plants can rob the energy you have in your living space. Low maintenance plants are ideal for people who aren’t very green. Dead or dying plants are Feng Shui symbols of wilting life force and should be removed immediately. Plants in Feng Shui are associated with the wood element, which is linked with new beginnings, fertility and growth. The addition of plants also helps to purify the air you breathe by removing toxins and promoting healthy Chi energy flow.
Don’t bring home bonsai trees
It’s small and cute and people find them admirably beautiful. While they might seem like zen appeal, they actually stunt growth and aren’t reaching their maximum potential. And you will see this pattern or trend reflected in your life as well. If you have a bonsai, it’s time to let it go and see what happens. There are many plants that can be used to create good energy flow in your home or office space.
Yin and Yang energy
Feng Shui also advocates the importance of achieving a balance of Yin and Yang energies in your home or business / office space. Yin energy is associated with darker surroundings, passive, calmer energy while Yang energy is linked with bright lights & more active energies. To achieve Feng Shui balance in your space, you need to create a sense of harmony by incorporating both Yin and Yang energies. An example would be your bedroom needs to feel a little more Yin and your dining room a little more Yang.
Balance the 5 elements
Feng Shui also advocates the importance of achieving a balance of the five elements in your home or office space. These five are the wood element, fire element, earth element, metal element and water element. To achieve Feng Shui balance in your space, you need to create a sense of harmony by incorporating all five Feng Shui elements.
Remedy Poison Arrows
One of the most harmful causes of bad luck are poison arrows or Sha Qi. If you have sharp or pointy edges or decor pointing directly at you while you are sitting or standing, it’s considered a poison arrow. Feng Shui says that these arrows can weaken your health, rob you of your good luck and cause relationship problems. The good news is there are many ways to remedy poison arrows and one of the most popular Feng Shui cures is to use plants or trees to block the negative energy.
Energy flow in your Living Room
The living room is one of the most important Feng Shui areas in your home because it’s where you entertain guests and spend time with family. This area is meant to be more Yang. So bringing in fire energy by decorating with or using fireplaces, candles, chandeliers and bright lights would be ideal for this room. Also ensuring that the furniture, accessories and other things /decor items are arranged in a way that allows for easy movement around the room creates good Feng Shui.
Clean that bathroom / restroom
Bathrooms are one of the most important Feng Shui areas in your home because they are associated with the water element. This element is linked with wealth, prosperity and abundance. A clean and well-maintained bathroom will help to attract positive energy and good health. Not only is a clean restroom / bathroom one of the fundamentals of basic hygiene, it also represents your attitude towards yourself. A cluttered and dirty bathroom is a Feng Shui no-no because it indicates a lack of self-respect and care.
No electronics in the bedroom
The bedroom is a Feng Shui haven for rest, relaxation, relationship building and romance. It should be a haven free of electronics such as televisions, laptops and computers. The harmful radiation and EMF emitted from these electronics can disrupt your sleep, cause anxiety and promote negative energy. If you must have a television in the bedroom, it should be properly stored away by using a media cabinet with doors to hide the TV when it’s not in use. Consider Faraday linings for extra EMF protection. The bedroom is a place where you go to recharge your batteries, so it’s important to create an environment that promotes peace and tranquility.
‘Command position’ for office desks
Feng Shui says that the desk should be placed so you can see the door from where you are sitting. This is because it’s important to be aware of who or what is coming into your space. Placing your desk in this position also gives you a feeling of power and control over your environment and is called the ‘Commanding position’ in Feng Shui.
Feng Shui your Garage
The garage is often one of the most neglected areas in the home, but it’s actually a very important Feng Shui area. The garage is where you store your car, which is a major investment and symbol of your success. Therefore, it’s important to keep the garage clean and organized. A cluttered garage is a Feng Shui no-no because it represents chaos and disorder.
