FENG SHUI in the interior.
I am glad to welcome you to this page of my site. If you looked here, then this topic is close to you or you are a fan of Feng Shui and try to live according to these laws, perhaps you are just looking for harmony with the world around you, or you are a comprehensively developed person interested in all aspects of various sciences and knowledge. It does not matter for what reason you are reading this article, only one thing is important: any new knowledge is a step in human evolution, this is development, this is the opportunity to be young, to be "in the subject", development is movement, and movement is life.
When I decided to become an interior designer, I thought that I would learn a couple of programs (AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Photoshop, CorelDRAW, etc.), learn how to sketch the interior by hand and that's it. But it was not there. Already in the learning process, I realized that out of all the theoretical information provided, in which one can simply get confused, I need to highlight the main, accessible, which I can use in practical actions and explain to my customers in a simple accessible syllable. The first thing I did was collect everything, the most important thing about interior styles, and wrote articles. Then, I needed to figure out how different colors affect the human body (one customer set this task for me) and I provided all the most important from the numerous theoretical base in the section "Color therapy". Next, I figured out the preferences of each sign of the Zadiak, which interior corresponds to, which architecture and environment is needed, etc. Graduated from P. Globa School of Astrology for 4.5 years. I also published a little bit of everything on my website for you. When I was getting my first higher education, I studied psychology for 5 years, from children's to medical (you cannot imagine how this knowledge is helping me now).
Are you catching my train of thought? As it turned out, a professional interior designer must have versatile knowledge. creating an interior for a person means creating his environment in his home, where he should rest, eat, do his favorite things, communicate with his family, raise children, etc. In his home, a person should receive peace of mind, love, pleasure - harmony. A harmonious interior of a house or apartment can be built using different knowledge. You can use the right colors, and their effect on the body of people living in this house, you can build the interior according to a certain style that the customer likes, you can use the knowledge of astrology, you can apply the laws of Feng Shui in the interior. And you can take a little of all the knowledge, add a little magic and fill your interior with this energy.
On this page of the site, I will briefly introduce you to Feng Shui. Recently, more and more often I have to deal with the fact that many people want to build their home, office, finally, equip their workplace in accordance with the laws of Feng Shui and not only, therefore I also "reworked" this knowledge and highlighted the main thing available in application in practice and for presentation to customers.

I do not design Feng Shui projects !!
I bring all the knowledge a little and where it is appropriate. We live in a World where all information and knowledge of all mankind must be respected and respected !!
Elements of Feng Shui - an addition to the harmony of the House !!

Elements of Feng Shui - an addition to the harmony of the House !!
So, what is Feng Shui for the interior of apartments, cottages, offices? In short, Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese science, the art of living in harmony with the laws of nature. Our entire Universe was created and exists according to certain laws. Or you follow these laws, then you enjoy life, if not, you experience constant problems, while not understanding where they come from. I must say that many of us follow these laws unconsciously, intuitively. Moreover, having touched this science a little, I came to the conclusion that what the people call common sense is very well consistent with the laws of Feng Shui.
Well, now a little about the most important thing from various sources.
Feng Shui principles.
Consideration of the influence of the earth's magnetic field
As a first approximation, the four cardinal directions (north, south, west, east), four intermediate directions and the center are considered, and then a more detailed examination takes place. The cardinal points are symbolized by animals: a turtle with a snake - north, phoenix - south, dragon - east and tiger - west. If you add colors corresponding to the cardinal points, then you can see a black (innermost) turtle, a red phoenix, a blue or green dragon and a white tiger.

Feng Shui considers the sides of the world as special energies that act on different people and at different times in different ways. The South is activated by a fireplace and fire in general, since it refers to the element of "fire"; southwest (element "soil") - crystal; west ("metal") - a horseshoe; northwest ("metal") - air (tubular) bells; north ("water") - a vessel with water; northeast ("soil") - ceramics; southeast and east ("tree") - a potted plant. Other options are possible, depending on the purpose.
Do not be alarmed by the complexity and incomprehensibility of what has been written: a lot will become clear as you read it. Here I have collected various information related to the cardinal points, so to speak, for the company, so that later I know where what to look for.
The cave principle
The Feng Shui system was obviously created by the inhabitants of the mountains, not the plains. This principle is natural for a person looking out of a cave. His back is protected, and there is an open space in front, allowing you to see the approaching danger from a distance. In our time, a person feels much more comfortable when he sits with his back to the main wall and sees the front door, and not vice versa. In the symbols of the five animals, the cave principle looks like this. The wise snake moves to the center, it is me, or the owner. I sit facing south. The other four animals guard me, but only if they are in harmony. Ahead I have a "phoenix", eager to fly, i.e. free space on which a phoenix symbol can be a small bump, a bench or some kind of bird - even a chicken. Do not forget that information "works". On the left - "dragon" (yang), on the right - "tiger" (yin). "Dragon" is usually the dominant part of the landscape, in the city - the main street, in the apartment - perhaps a door or a characteristic wall.
The black turtle protects my back, but not only that is its role. She can keep the lineage from generation to generation, facilitating the arrival of help from outside. In relief, it is a mountain or a hill, or just an elevation in the north, i.e. behind. A higher house can serve as a "turtle". A domestic turtle of any species contributes to an increase in income, living standards for the head of the genus or the owner of the house. It is considered very important not only among the Chinese to honor one's family, avoid conflicts, splits, remember about ancestors: the common field of the genus helps individual individuals, and it is difficult for a rootless person to live.
The red phoenix, the king of the birds, gives lucky opportunities by flying freely south. "Dragon" in Feng Shui is the highest symbol of good luck (wealth, authority, position, power - everything depends on the "dragon"). The color of the dragon is "qing" in Chinese, but in Russian ... this is a great difficulty for the translator. We can say that the color is blue-green, but in different centuries it was either closer to blue or closer to green. Therefore, they translate either a blue dragon or a green one.
The white tiger is a symbol of protection, patronage. It protects against troubles, collapse, robbery.

The yin-yang principle
As is known from classical physics, there are only two types of energy, we call them "negative" and "positive". The yin-yang principle is much broader, it is any dualism: lack and excess, softness and hardness, front and back, right and left, woman and man, moon and sun. Moreover, yin does not exist without yang and vice versa, the limit of yin gives rise to yang and vice versa. A simple example: at noon, at the end of the day, the beginning of the night begins.
According to Chinese natural philosophy, the primordial energy (yuan-qi), coming into motion, gives rise to yang, i.e. activity, and when calming down, gives birth to yin, i.e. passivity; or: dynamics and statics.
In the Feng Shui system, dwellings are divided into Yin and Yang. Yin people are graves, they are given primary attention, since the past influences the future. Yansky - dwellings of living people. The task of the Feng Shui master is to create yin-yang harmony, i.e. their desired ratio, depending on the purpose of the room. There is a lot of yin where there is poor lighting, where everything is cluttered with little-needed dead things, dark in color, always closed, rooms, each locked away from a number of residents, where chronic patients, the elderly, alcoholics and drug addicts live. A person's energy is weakened here. Excessively Yang premises: constantly lit or heated, painted with bright red or yellow, located next to a high-voltage line, a transformer box, a large factory. With an excess of yin, yang factors are added: lighting, bright colors, etc. Water will help get rid of the excess yang: a fountain, a blue door color on both sides (water color) and generally cold colors, paintings depicting water, reducing noise, illumination, creating a lawn , lawns in the garden, painting the fence, gates in black (yin) color; bright sunlight is transformed by hanging a faceted crystal. Harmonizing music should be replaced by silence and vice versa - this is how the yin-yang ratio is also regulated. Or: a dark drapery is contrasted with a bouquet of bright flowers.
In living quarters, yang should prevail (but without excess), especially where children live (an excess of yang will suppress them). Resting areas should have more yin, but similarly, yin should not suppress yang. Retail space requires yang, activity, so you need red, bright lighting, invigorating but not destructive music, indoor flowers will add life. Energy should not stagnate here. In general, you need to feel it: where and when to add or subtract Yin or Yang.

The principle of interaction of the five elements
Shows the nature of the interaction of many phenomena and objects in nature. However, the nature of the interaction is actually somewhat more complex than shown in the figure. So, if the "tree" gives rise to "fire", then this at the same time means that the "fire" takes energy from the "tree". That is, when there is too much "fire", the "tree" next to it weakens. Or another example. Of course, "metal" suppresses "wood": trees are chopped down with an ax, but a thin wire can also be cut with a wooden stick. That is, when there is too much "wood", it can overcome the "metal". So the analysis according to the scheme of five elements is not so simple.
In our kitchen, the stove ("fire" element) and the sink ("water" element) should not be near, since the energy of the "water" element will suppress the energy of the "fire" element, and the energy of food will be suppressed. But what is good about Feng Shui, knowing the state, you can almost always find a way to change it in the right direction.
In the Feng Shui system, "fire" is the highest Yang element. Powerful, but does not exist in itself, you cannot stock up on it, you can only create it. It symbolizes success, fame, recognition, but an excess of "fire" is extremely dangerous. Moreover, "fire" is an upward movement.
"Water" - downward movement. Overflow is dangerous: the energy is powerful. The symbol of wealth: if you want wealth - enter "water". But you need to activate this element in harmony with other elements.
"Soil" - the base, the heart, gives harmony, family happiness, brought by the mistress-parent. Energy goes to the side.
The "tree" symbolizes growth, expansion, advancement. Energy goes from the inside out. The only living element: luck grows in breadth, outward, passed on to descendants, first of all - to sons.
Five elements and their interaction
Elements (or elements) are a European word, probably of Indian origin, while the Chinese call a move: energy goes around in a circle, changing its quality. When she walks in a circle, then one element generates or feeds another, and when she walks on a star, one suppresses the other. So it is always: there is excitement, and there is inhibition, there is acceleration and there is deceleration - these are the principles of harmony. You need to know this scheme by heart.
"Metal" brings good luck to "heavenly people" - useful to society. A symbol of the power of Heaven and the power of the owner, father. Energy is dense, flows inward. Gold and silver are associated with the "metal", from which bells are made to enhance the elements and are hung on the side of the "metal" (in the west).
The energies of the five elements are associated with the weather in the following way. The energy of "wood" generates wind (as in the old joke: when trees wave branches, wind arises), "metal" generates dryness, "fire" generates heat, "water" creates cold, and "soil" generates moisture.
Let's summarize some of the results.
The principle of five elements says that the quality of energy changes cyclically, in a fivefold rhythm, and that the energy of one quality can enhance or weaken the energy of another quality. Elemental energies interact in three ways: they feed the next element in the circle, suppress the second one in the circle, which is ahead, and take energy from the previous one. For example, "wood" feeds "fire", suppresses "soil" and takes energy from "water". This looks quite obvious, but for those cases when the forces of energies are approximately equal, they differ little.

Energy principle
Chinese traditional science explains all influences and interactions in the Feng Shui system by the influence of energy - qi. It is impossible to explain what kind of energy it is from the standpoint of modern physics, but, nevertheless, it is easy to understand and agree with the recommendations of Feng Shui, since they usually coincide with our inner feelings. As in the above example: it is much more pleasant when there is a capital wall behind than a door that you do not even see, and people scurry about, even if they are not at all hostile to you. Feng Shui will explain the uncomfortableness by the vortices of energy created by scurrying people or by the flow of qi from the door, but what is this from the standpoint of modern physics or physiology, psychology? While there are no clear explanations, we will use the traditional ones. Energies are useful and harmful. The former always move, but not in a straight line and not too fast. Bending, they are active, full of life.
Nowadays, they talk about energy-informational interaction of a low energy level, there are many theories of such interaction, which means that not a single one is convincing enough, especially since there is no clear idea of what energy is and what information is, although everyone feels both. Let a hundred teachings compete, and we will practice.
Bagua Zones
The Chinese Feng Shui system has developed a scheme called bagua that will help you organize the space in your home properly, taking into account the goals that you set for yourself. The scheme was developed on the basis of the I Ching of the Book of Changes. The pakua outline should be combined with the plan of your apartment or office. Thus, it will help you understand which objects from your environment are responsible for certain life manifestations. This knowledge makes us think seriously about the symbolism of each thing and about what place it is intended for. But this affects our destiny.

PRACTICAL USE OF BAGUA
On a piece of paper, on a large scale, draw a plan of your house, with all the rooms. If the house has several floors, then first draw a plan of the floor where the main entrance is located. And work on the plan. On a piece of tracing paper or other transparent material, draw an octagonal outline for the pakua.

And work on the plan. On a piece of tracing paper or other transparent material, draw an octagonal outline for the pakua.
It is good if the outline of your house is a geometric figure of the correct shape, a square or a rectangle.
Find the center. This will be the intersection point of the two diagonal lines. If the shape of the house is not correct, then add the contours to a rectangle or square, and then draw the diagonals.
Align the center point of the pakua outline with the center of your home. The pakua trellis should be enlarged or reduced so that it covers the entire plan of the house or its floor. The bottom edge of the pakua outline, zone 1, should be parallel to the wall of the house where the main entrance is.
This is usually the front door, although some people prefer to use the back door or side door. In any case, you should turn the diagram so that the first zone is in the center of the wall where the current entrance to the house is located. If you live in an apartment building, then the door of your apartment will be the starting point. Are you renting a room? Then the main entrance will be the entrance to your room. And when the house has several floors, then each of them will have its own pakua. The grate must be oriented in the direction that will appear in front of you if you climbed the stairs to the next floor.
MISSING ZONES OF BAGUA (NEGATIVE SPACE)

MISSING ZONES OF BAGUA (NEGATIVE SPACE)
The bagua of the house will be fully represented if it has the correct symmetrical shape. However, in the absence of some zones or with their flaws, you will get problems in those areas of life to which these zones correspond.
People often wonder why, after they have made an extension in some part of the house, changes occur in their lives. If the pakua at home as a result of the extension is violated and missed zones appear, then this will provoke changes in some area of life. And when a new room appears in the missed area, changes will take place for the better. Nevertheless, there are certain means and methods for correcting Feng Shui to replenish and activate negative zones. I will talk about them a little later. And now I will introduce you in more detail to the nine zones of the bagua.
ZONE BAGUA
Read what area of life a particular pakua zone is responsible for, and determine which aspects you would like to change or correct. Better to start with one zone or two. Don't do everything at once!
I give several options for the names of the zones. Traditional names have become established in the Chinese system. And William Speer in his book "Feng Shui for Beginners" adapted them to European reality.
WAY (OR CAREER)
The first area is responsible not only for your professional achievements, but also for personal growth, development, and general outlook. From here, paths open for new opportunities and beginnings. So, choose your path, remove obstacles, and you can realize yourself. You can use Feng Shui amplifiers to help.
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY (OR RELATIONSHIP)
The second zone is mainly associated with family and marriage relations. In a broader sense, it is an indicator of how you communicate with colleagues, friends, the world around you; whether you are experiencing internal discord. Particular attention should be paid to this area of the home when you are alone and looking for a life partner. And if you have one, then Feng Shui means will help maintain relationships at a high level and feed them with positive energy, as well as enhance harmony in communication with all your friends.

PARENTS AND SUPERVISORS (OR SENIOR, KIND)
The third zone is responsible for your relationships with parents, ancestors, bosses, regulates inheritance issues, shows how past events affect your current life. These are your roots, karma of the clan. From here you draw strength and wisdom. By disassembling the deposits and empowering this zone, you will improve relationships with parents, teachers, and leadership.
MONEY (OR GIFTS OF FORTUNE, WELFARE)
The fourth zone is responsible for wealth and abundance. Keep in mind that this is not only money, but other types of well-being as well. In this area, many businessmen use Feng Shui amplifiers to succeed in business. But if there is a closet, toilet or trash can in this area, you should not count on great benefits and good luck.
HEALTH (OR UNITY, TAI QI)
The main thing in our life is health. And it is understandable why the zone associated with our vitality is located in the center of the house. If in this place you have accumulated deposits of trash, you will often get sick, feel tired and overwhelmed. If possible, free her of all objects. It was customary for the Chinese to build a patio in the center of the house so as not to overload this area. Health problems can be associated with cluttering in the center of the entire house and in the center of rooms of different things.
ASSISTANTS AND FRIENDS (GOOD PEOPLE)
After clearing and strengthening Feng Shui in this area, you will suddenly begin to receive great deals. Family members, friends, colleagues, government officials, and strangers can offer help. In the end, you will simply open a book page or newspaper in the right place. An altar can be set up in this zone to address prayer to God and the angels, to call invisible helpers. But a person receives as much as he gives to others. Therefore, the zone of assistants is also responsible for your good deeds.
CREATIVITY (OR FRUIT)
The seventh pakua zone refers to everything that you bring into this world. If you want to raise children to their feet, realize your projects and dreams, take care of this zone. Here you can hang a "treasure map" - a symbolic image of your desire. For example, a photo of the car you want to have, a description of a new job, or a place where you want to travel. And most importantly - attach a photo there, in which you smile broadly and heartily.
KNOWLEDGE (OR CONSEQUENCE)
The eighth zone is the area of new knowledge, meditation and self-knowledge, intuition and contemplation. This is a suitable place for a home library or meditation room, as well as for acquiring new knowledge and skills, focusing on spiritual development and establishing contact with your higher self.
SELF-REALIZATION (OR INSIGHT, GLORY)
We are all unique, and the last, ninth, pakua zone refers to our individuality. Here is concentrated what makes us unique. In its highest expression, it is spiritual enlightenment, self-realization. If you need to develop your charisma, earn a good name and know glory, raise your spiritual level, work on this zone. It is located at the opposite wall from the main entrance, and often it is in it that the control center of the entire apartment is located.
The third zone is responsible for your relationships with parents, ancestors, bosses, regulates inheritance issues, shows how past events affect your current life. These are your roots, karma of the clan. From here you draw strength and wisdom. By disassembling the deposits and empowering this zone, you will improve relationships with parents, teachers, and leadership.
MONEY (OR GIFTS OF FORTUNE, WELFARE)
The fourth zone is responsible for wealth and abundance. Keep in mind that this is not only money, but other types of well-being as well. In this area, many businessmen use Feng Shui amplifiers to succeed in business. But if there is a closet, toilet or trash can in this area, you should not count on great benefits and good luck.
HEALTH (OR UNITY, TAI QI)
The main thing in our life is health. And it is understandable why the zone associated with our vitality is located in the center of the house. If in this place you have accumulated deposits of trash, you will often get sick, feel tired and overwhelmed. If possible, free her of all objects. It was customary for the Chinese to build a patio in the center of the house so as not to overload this area.

Change Feng Shui at home gradually and only after you have cleared the deposits!
It is not necessary to solve all the problems at once, because the methods of Feng Shui imply gradual changes. The first step is to get rid of the trash accumulated in the house. If you do not do this, but start immediately using Feng Shui amplifiers, then only worsen the situation. Do an energetic cleanse at home and think about what aspects of your life are most important for you to change right now. From them you need to choose one, maximum - two. Prepare for the change, embrace it, and let the new energy take hold in your home. And then you can move on to the next aspect.
In some cases, it is required to correct the direction of energy flows. In others - to attract vibrations with certain properties into the house. If in some house the welfare zone is in negative space - this "piece" is cut out of the apartment, as it were, then it must be "built up" with the help of certain techniques. And in another house, this zone may be present, but its residents cannot boast of high incomes. This means that in order to activate the energy here it is necessary to strengthen Feng Shui. Life is constant change. By changing your home, you will change too. Your priorities and scale of values will also change.
There are remedies that correct and strengthen Feng Shui:
FENG SHUI MIRRORS
In a wonderful tale about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the evil queen, turning to a magic mirror, asks: "Mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful in the world?" Once the mirror replies: "You are beautiful, but Snow White is even more beautiful" (the Russian reader is more familiar with the tale of "The Sleeping Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs" - approx. Transl.).
Alice, the heroine of Lewis Carroll's "Alice Through the Looking Glass", also enters the mysterious Wonderland. Many popular superstitions, omens, fortune-telling are associated with mirrors. They have long been attributed to extraordinary properties. From the point of view of Feng Shui, a mirror is a powerful energy converter. They are used in ancient art so widely that they are now jokingly called "Feng Shui aspirin", a panacea for all diseases.
MIRROR - "HEALER" FENG SHUI
The reflective surface of the mirror effectively corrects the energy of the missed zone. In particular, by placing a mirror on one of the inner walls so that it reflects part of the room, you can "recreate" the missing pakua area. There is no need to hang mirrors opposite each other on opposite walls. And if you have a window on one of the walls that "close" the missing zone, then it is appropriate to use not a mirror, but a crystal. I will talk about crystals in more detail a little later.
MIRRORS AND BAGUA FEN SHUI
Soon after placing the mirror in the pakua area, you will feel its influence. New vibrations will come to the space of your home and its energy will be activated. Let me remind you once again that everything is good in moderation. An abundance of mirrors in your home can make you feel dizzy and nauseous, and you may not be able to take advantage of all the opportunities that open up in front of you.

It is enough to hang one mirror in the room. And if necessary, you can put a couple of smaller pieces there.
PLACING MIRRORS TO EXPAND SPACE
A mirror will help draw more light into a dark, gloomy room. And the more light there is, the more positive energy it contains. In addition, a mirrored surface will help "expand a cramped room. Think of tiny toilet cubicles on planes. Without mirrors, some passengers would feel claustrophobic there. For the same purpose, mirrors are often used in the interiors of restaurants, bars, shops. In the house, a mirror can visually increase the volume of the room, expand the narrow long corridor.
ENERGY AMPLIFIERS
With the help of a mirror, you can "double" the strength of the energy flow. In business, one of the favorite Feng Shui tricks is to install a mirror in front of the cash register to symbolically double the profit. To increase sales, place a mirrored wall behind the product shelves.
I do not advise you to hang the mirror so that the desktop is reflected in it. This is like a warning: the amount of work may double, but there is no guarantee that earnings will also double. And I remind you: before you hang up the mirrors, clear out the trash deposits in the house. You don't want to double your problems, do you ?!
MIRROR IN THE BEDROOM
It must be remembered that a large number of mirrors in the bedroom will prevent you from relaxing and getting a good night's sleep. If you decide to hang a mirror in this room, choose an oval shape rather than a rectangular one. It is undesirable to see yourself lying on the bed in the mirror. Therefore, place the mirror so that you do not see your reflection in it when you are lying in bed. In principle, you shouldn't hang a mirror in children's bedrooms. But if the child himself insists on this, trust his intuition.
HOW TO STORE THE MIRROR
The mirror is too powerful a magical tool that cannot be mistreated. If you put a mirror against the wall in the wrong place, the energy will circulate randomly throughout your home, creating unnecessary fuss and chaos in your affairs. While you are not using the mirror, "turn it off" - cover it with a cloth or unfold the reflective surface so that sunlight does not fall on it.
CORRECT MIRROR PLACEMENT
A large mirror should hang so that you can see yourself at full height. In no case "cut off" the head of the reflection! This is especially important if you are constantly looking into this mirror. When there are children in the house, place the mirror so that they can fully see their reflection in it or not see themselves at all. A child may develop feelings of inferiority if he sees in a mirror, for example, only the top of his head.
When the mirror is not large enough and a "decapitated" body is reflected in it, pain in the neck may occur. And if you see your legs without a torso in the mirror, then you will feel an ache in the lower back. The mirror shouldn't cut your image to pieces! This feature is often found on mirrors on stands that tilt at a certain angle, and those that stand on dressing tables.
It is necessary to place the mirror so that there is always free space above the head of your reflection. This will help you develop your spiritual potential and achieve great success.
And one more important point. A mirror in an ideal position will be of little use if unsightly objects are reflected in it. Let your mirror reflect beautiful views and things. Also, do not lean the mirrors sideways against the wall or tilt them at an angle. The reflection in this case will turn out to be distorted, and the result, which was expected, will not be. The mirror must be securely attached to the wall.
TYPES OF MIRRORS AND THEIR INFLUENCE
The larger the mirror, the better. This is the case when it comes to a house or apartment. True, the size of the mirror must correspond to the proportions of the room. An exception is allowed when it completely occupies a niche or recess in the wall. The mirror must be framed. The open edges of the mirror will provoke small obstacles and troubles in your life. The shape of the mirror can be round, oval, square or rectangular. The mirror should be wide enough for you to see your reflection without having to bend over. First of all, this applies to the bathroom mirror. If it reflects the things around you, it will give confidence and strength. It is unacceptable to use mirror tiles in the interior. The reflection will split into dozens of pieces, which will depress your psyche and accordingly affect your entire life. The installation of folding mirrors and mirror panels on cabinets can also lead to undesirable consequences.
Convex mirrors are powerful but short-term energy stimulants. They are akin to antibiotics - they need to be used rarely and if there is no other way out. Antibiotics should not be overused because they are less effective and can be harmful as a result.
CORRECT MIRROR CARE
A mirror will perform well if you keep it perfectly clean. The reflective surface should be clear, unclouded. Faded mirrors do not work well. And old, antique mirrors can play a cruel joke with the owner. The same applies to cracked mirrors - believe the old folk tradition. Cracked glass should be discarded immediately and replaced with a new one.
FENG SHUI CRYSTALS, HOW TO USE THEM
The atmosphere in the room, colored with rainbow reflections from the crystal hanging on the window, seems light, festive and joyful. Refracting the sun's rays, the crystal scatters multi-colored sparks around the room. Symbolically, this means that a large number of positive vibrations are attracted to your home. Crystals activate energy and raise it to a higher level. The most suitable place for them is a window, so that a stream of light passes through them. Like a mirror, a crystal helps to enhance both a specific area of the pakua and increase the missing space. If just the area adjacent to the window is "cut out", then hang the crystal on the window, and the problem will be solved.

If just the area adjacent to the window is "cut out", then hang the crystal on the window, and the problem will be solved.
CHOOSING THE PERFECT LOCATION
It is best to hang the crystal at the top and center of the window. Please note that it enhances the energy of the zone where it is located, so I recommend placing objects nearby that symbolically express your desires. Photos are also suitable for the place.
WHAT ARE BETTER CRYSTALS
I advise you to choose transparent polyhedral crystals as a Feng Shui amplifier. A full spectrum of colors will help you unleash your spiritual and creative potential.
Spherical crystals will bring harmony to the room. They are suitable for different premises. It is better to hang a small crystal in a nursery or a small room - up to 20 millimeters in diameter. In the banquet hall, a large crystal would be more appropriate - about 70 millimeters in diameter. Consider the size of the window on which you are going to hang the crystal.
CARE OF THE CRYSTAL
Do not use crystals with chips or damaged edges. They will distort vibrations, and the result will leave much to be desired. Keep windows and crystals clean. The latter, preferably washed once a week, and once a month. In order not to forget about this, remember, for example, that the crystal must be washed on the first day of every month. It is not necessary to remove them from the window. Simply dip the crystal into a cup of pure spring water and then let it dry naturally. If you constantly take care of your crystal, it will repay you a hundredfold.
FENG SHUI TALISMANS
One of the most effective means of Feng Shui is talismans. They are able to eliminate or weaken the influence of negative energy in the pakua sectors and, conversely, strengthen, activate the zones that are responsible for the spheres that are relevant for your life. So, what talismans can change the energy situation in a particular sector?
-Mascots of wealth
-Mascots of love
-Malismans of health and relationships
-Mascots of a career
-Talismans of wisdom
-Mascots of travel, patrons, mentors, new ideas
Keep in mind: the placement of talismans is not at all the case when "you can't spoil the porridge with butter." Perhaps the sector you are interested in has the necessary symbols already presented. It doesn't really matter what kind of items are there, because any talisman is valuable not in itself, but as a tool with which this or that element, energy, wields. If there are too many symbols, it will not only not help, but also harm.
BELLS (WIND MUSIC) FENG SHUI
Chinese bells and wind chimes are already quite popular with us. But not everyone knows how to use them correctly. People often hang such bells (wind chimes) in corridors and doorways. And in order not to touch them, you have to bend over. And being in the wrong position, the bells only interfere with the normal flow of energy.

And in order not to touch them, you have to bend over. And being in the wrong position, the bells only interfere with the normal flow of energy.
Wind chime or Chinese wind chime
In general, in Feng Shui, bells (wind chimes) are usually used not to activate, but to harmonize harsh, directed vibrations. Their principle of operation is simple. Imagine that on a windy day, you are standing outside and exposing your palm to the stream of air. If you keep your fingers together, you will feel a strong pressure, the wind will seem to "beat off" from the palm. But if you spread your fingers apart, the wind pressure will decrease. So bells (wind chimes) slow down and regulate the violent flow of vibrations. The melodic chime improves the energy in the room. They don't even need to ring: bells of this type have been used by Feng Shui practitioners for thousands of years, they actively interact with the energy of space and invisible forces all the time.
Where are bells (wind chime) appropriate? For example, if in your house the front door is opposite the stairs leading to the second floor, then the "breeze" can be hung from the ceiling about halfway between the bottom rung of the stairs and the door. The energy - which means money and luck - that comes down the stairs will not quickly "jump out" out the door, but will dissipate inside the room. In some houses, designers arrange a back door opposite the main one. Energy, in this case, sweeps through the house without stopping. And it will be extremely difficult for you to catch luck in life. To fix the situation, you need to hang a garland of bells somewhere on the way between the doors. Wind chime is appropriate in a long hallway to calm the aggressive flow of energy, and in the pakua area where you want to neutralize destructive tendencies in your life. Bells (wind chimes) raise the overall energy level in the house. Balinese people place bamboo wind chimes on the eaves of their houses. Swaying in the breeze, they emit a melodic chime that spreads far across the rice fields. Merchants are advised to hang the wind chime at the entrance to the store to keep business running smoothly and without hindrances.
SYMBOLIC IMAGES
Paintings, photographs and some interior items can symbolically express your aspirations. Place them in the desired areas of the pakua.
Pictures - balloons, angels, airplanes, birds, butterflies - everything that flies will help smooth out the impression of low, overhanging ceilings. If you hang an image next to a steep staircase, for example, with a flock of flying ducks, it will become easier to climb the stairs because the energy will flow smoothly.
MOVING OBJECTS
Against a stationary background, any movement immediately attracts attention and activates energy: It is no coincidence that flashing signs are used in showcases, advertising is placed in the form of a creeping line, on billboards with a changing picture, etc. All this attracts a potential buyer. Moving walkways and escalators have a beneficial effect on energy. True, this is provided that the same or more escalators move upward than downward. At home, moving metal structures and abstract pendulums can be used as Feng Shui amplifiers. They should be placed in the area of the pakua that you want to "animate".
FENG SHUI WATER
In any Chinese restaurant you will see, if not an aquarium with fish, then at least an image of fish playing in the water. Fish frolicking in the water is one of the most popular Feng Shui amplifiers. It is a symbol of prosperity and is widely used by the Chinese in business.

The cutting qi emitted by the corner of a neighboring house or road can be extinguished by a fountain located between your house and a dangerous object. A bird drinker can be installed in the overlooked area. The birds will constantly activate the energy there, improving the general condition of the house.

The shape of the leaves of plants should symbolically express the nature of your desires. Feng Shui recommends plants with straight stems and rounded leaves. I myself like the so-called "money tree" (Crassula Argentea). It is especially good to place it in the Money and Welfare Zone.
Thorny plants should not be placed in small rooms. They are also a source of cutting qi, which can cause endless arguments in the home and create tension. Especially negatively such plants "work" in the area of Family relationships.
MASSIVE DECORATIONS
Massive stone statues and decorative vases can serve as a means of grounding unwanted energy. This is especially important if you sleep in a room with an empty space underneath.
Bulky pieces of furniture or large objects of wood and stone can stabilize the environment. And in order to "break through" a situation that cannot be solved in any way, you just need to rearrange the furniture! When it comes to career advancement, move the massive object to the first zone of the bagua. Not enough money? Well, put it in the Wellbeing Zone. And if family relations go wrong, place them in the Marriage zone. But keep in mind that if this object is left there for a long time, it will cause stagnation of energy, and your efforts will again not bring the desired result.
FENG SHUI LIGHTING
You can so skillfully organize the lighting system in the room that a gloomy basement will turn into a cozy cellar restaurant, and a dull shop will resemble a boutique or souvenir shop. Artificial backlighting will help create the right mood, stimulate inspiration and an influx of fresh energy. Set up the top and bottom lights so that they highlight decorations in certain areas of the pakua, beautiful plants, or screens. The building from the outside also needs to be illuminated - so that your house looks like a guiding beacon. Then you will be in a more joyful mood when you return home. An overhead light should help you to raise the energy level that is trapped by low or sloping ceilings, squeezed in a cramped room or in a long narrow hallway.
It is also possible to correct the missing bagua zone in a private house with the help of a spotlight. Mentally draw the missing corner, place a spotlight there and direct the light towards the entire structure.
COLOR IN FENG SHUI
Each color influences mood and sensations in its own way. Red is the most active color, it immediately attracts attention. Many shopping malls on busy streets use red in their logos and shop windows. Green gives energy and heals disease. Yellow enhances emotionality, while blue, on the contrary, cools the ardor and calms down. Brown symbolizes stability. But when there is too much of it, it oppresses, as if it is too "down-to-earth". The color pink expresses the feeling of love. And orange contributes to the appearance of appetite. So if you're on a weight loss diet, don't paint your kitchen walls orange!
It is believed that white and black are not colors, but the totality of all colors of the spectrum and their absence. Different cultures have different interpretations of the meaning of black and white. Balinese consider white to be the most noble color, which means purity of thoughts and the continuity of the circle of life and death. In China, white is a symbol of death and mourning. The presence of white in home decoration will help to reveal your abilities. But its excess is a sign of the absence of a clear purpose in life. Black is associated with mystery, uncertainty, a kind of transition period. For example, many teenagers like to wear black clothes, paint the walls of the room black. This happens during the period of searching for ourselves.
The effect of color has been studied by many scientists. But there are no general guidelines on what color to choose for decorating your home. Here it is necessary to take into account the personality traits and her life experience. Colors and smells can awaken memories long buried deep in the subconscious. The author of the famous Luscher test, Dr. Max Luscher, conducted research to explain why a person prefers a particular color. In his opinion, color preferences are due to "the state of the psyche at the moment or the work of the endocrine glands."
Upon entering the house, you immediately react to the color of the door and walls in the hall. Color is a mood, which means your aspirations, opportunities, productivity of actions. So choose colors that make you feel good. For children's rooms, muted, pastel colors are more suitable, which have higher vibrations compared to pure colors. But as they get older, kids start to like bright colors more and more. Let the child, when he is determined in his preferences, choose the color of his room himself. Catch your inner changes as well. And if new vibrations have come into your life, then change the color scheme of your home accordingly.

As you can see, all the laws of Feng Shui in the interior resonate with the knowledge of the location of mirrors in the room, massive objects, harmoniously arranged lighting, as well as the correct use of color in the interior, etc.
In general, I have deduced a certain theorem for myself: everything in our life is interconnected, all the energies of our Universe interact, creating harmony or chaos in the life of every person, everything depends on what a person sows around him. And all knowledge is given to people so that they can be passed on and be useful.
I am ready to share my knowledge with you when developing a design project for your apartment or cottage!
Well, as a bonus, for those who have read this article, I bring to your attention a video. Maybe this is from another "opera", but it charges with energy for a long time.
The video shows Deva Premal chanting the Gayatri mantra in different parts of the planet.
* mantra - a sequence of words filled with a strong positive vibration

The Gayatri Mantra is one of the most ancient on Earth. When Deva's mother Premal was pregnant with her, her father sang this mantra to her for nine months. The Gayatri Mantra became the gateway to the world for her. With this mantra, her father met her in our world, and then she sang it, escorting her father to another world.
Deva Premal is one of the three best performers of mantras and ancient sacred songs in the world. Her albums The Essence, Love is Space, Embrace and Dakshina, where she performs the great mantras of the world, took first places in the popularity ratings of the New Age music movement and broke all records in polls of preferences in yoga studios and centers of meditation and healing around the world.
