Feng Shui Your Kitchen for Health, Prosperity, and Happiness
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice that can be used to create a harmonious and balanced environment. The kitchen is an important area in the home to focus on when practicing feng shui, as it is the place where we nourish ourselves and our loved ones.
Here are some simple feng shui tips for creating a kitchen that promotes health, prosperity, and happiness:
- Make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated and well-lit. Good ventilation and Bright Light in Feng Shuilighting are essential for a healthy kitchen. Make sure there is plenty of natural light coming into the kitchen, and consider installing an exhaust fan to help remove cooking odors and steam.
- Maximize your range. An oven is considered a wealth item, especially one that has more range burners, because wealthy people could afford them. Add a mirror behind your range or place a reflective tea kettle in the middle of the range to make it appear like you have even more burners.
- Don’t align oven & sink. Your oven is seriously the most important appliance in your kitchen, according to feng shui. If your oven/range and sink are directly across from each other it has the effect of all of your wealth flowing down the drain. Offset them to maximize your prosperity.
- Choose the right colors for your kitchen. The colors you choose for your kitchen can have a big impact on the overall energy of the space. Soft, calming colors such as green, blue, and purple promote a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, while bold, vibrant colors like red and yellow can bring energy and excitement to the kitchen. Be sure to align those colors with the bagua map.
- Keep the kitchen clean and clutter-free. Organization is so important! Clutter can block the flow of positive energy in the kitchen, so it’s important to keep the space clean and organized. Regularly wipe down surfaces, sweep and mop the floor, and get rid of any unnecessary items. Especially keep your oven and range area spotless.
- Bonus: Choose the right location. This is really only practical if you’re still in the home planning process. The ideal location for a kitchen is not aligned or within sight of the front door. This ensures that the energy of the kitchen doesn’t flow out of the house, but rather stays contained within the space. Even if the kitchen is already in place, use furniture, crystals, or other tools to redirect qi energy properly.
By following these feng shui principles, you can create a kitchen that promotes health, prosperity, and happiness. Whether you’re a seasoned feng shui practitioner or new to the practice, these tips can help you create a positive and harmonious energy in your kitchen.
However, there is so much more to an integrative approach of making the perfect kitchen design for feng shui to harness qi energy, including directional alignment, the five elements, layout, the placement of other appliances, plants, etc.
