Your home should be your sanctuary. It is a place to escape the daily grind that life brings and relax while spending time with family in a positive space with positive energy. If this is not the case and the only thing you have to look forward to when getting home from work is more conflict, it’s time to make some changes.

Did you know it’s possible for Feng Shui challenges in your home to provoke and strengthen the negative energy of arguments. In fact, bad Feng Shui can attract conflict. By knowing the Feng Shui mistakes in your home, you have the power to find solutions to help calm and balance the energy. Read on to learn more about common Feng Shui mistakes and tips on how to fix them.

Energy Coming In

• Negative Outside Feng Shui: Before you even enter your home, the Feng Shui energy outside your home is important for many reasons. Think of this as the area where the energy which flows into your home comes from. You want it to be vibrant, healthy energy coming in, so it’s important to keep it clutter-free and looking nice. Keep the plants, trees, and grass trimmed and neat. If you’d like to learn more about outside Feng Shui check out our blog titled, The Importance of Home Maintenance in Feng Shui.
• Feng Shui Problems in the Entryway: A lot like the outside, the main entryway of your home determines the quality of energy that comes in. We’re going for bringing in vibrant, fun, healthy, and nourishing energy. The entryway is important for good Feng Shui. It should be neat, clean, and clutter-free. You know how the whole family’s shoes are piled near the door? This is the clutter we’re talking about. Need more tips about decluttering your space?

Inside the Home

• Clearing the Negative Energy from Your Space: Avoid keeping the negative energy brought on by negative experiences, or a bad history in a home, by clearing the energy. This is a Feng Shui must, whether you do it before moving in, once a week, or once a month. The good news is there are so many ways to make this happen from clearing the clutter, to burning incense, to opening the windows. Every blog I write has something to teach about keeping the positive energy, but here are a couple to start: Five Tips to Invigorate Your Space Today and Fragrant Feng Shui.
• Give the Basement, Garage, and Attic Some Much Needed TLC: Speaking of clearing the clutter, check the basement, garage, and attic while you’re at it! Just because you don’t spend a lot of time in these areas doesn’t mean they can’t affect your Feng Shui. Read our blog, mentioned above, on decluttering and get to work. You’ll be amazed at what a huge difference it makes on your inner state of mind.
• Chaos in the Bedroom: This is a cause of sleepless nights for sure. Everything makes a difference: from bedroom decor, to electronics, to having plants in the room where you sleep. Everyone knows the price of sleepless nights on your energy, work, attitude, and many other things. Simply put, sleep is critical and having the tools to Feng Shui Your Sleep is just as important.

Common Mistakes in the Bagua Areas

In Feng Shui, the Bagua is a sort of energy map of your space. So, specific areas of your home are connected to specific areas of your life. If you’ve never looked at a Bagua map before, now’s a great time. You can read all about the Bagua on my website. The following is a list of some common mistakes in certain bagua areas of the home.

• A Stressed-Out Love Area: In the Feng Shui Bagua there is an area associated with the energy of love and relationships. Like all areas of your home, the love and relationship area needs to be treated well with the right colors, materials, and images. Learn more about the Love & Relationship Corner and start reaping the rewards of strong relationships.
• A Non-Existent Money Area: Wondering why you’re always broke and have a hard time keeping your finances in order? Taking care of the Feng Shui in this area of the Bagua can greatly enhance your financial future. Want to know more about this area? Learn more about the Wealth & Prosperity Corner.
• An Unhealthy Health Area: Right at the center of the Bagua map, and touching every other area of the home, is the Health Area. The well-being of you and your family is connected to the state of energy in this area. The last thing you want here is the heavy, stagnant energy that clutter holds. Learn how to create vibrant energy in this space by reading our blog, Health: Live Life Without Sickness or read about the Health Area of the bagua.
