Check the feng shui of your home in six simple steps

In a way, it is quite easy to know if your house has good feng shui. Answering just one simple question: “Do you feel happy in your home?” will already give a good indication of its energy, as well as how well you and your home are matched. Apart from a house being a good feng shui house, there are also specific house features that are good for some people and not so good for others, all based on their personal energy.

For some, their houses are a match made in heaven, and for others, the harmony is just not there. However, before going into this more advanced level of designing a good feng shui home for your personal energy, let’s first look at some basic tips to know if your house has good feng shui.

Here are 6 simple tips to help understand the feng shui of your home.

1. A strong and healthy front door

In feng shui, houses are absorbing most of the needed energy nourishment via the front door, so the stronger your front door, the more good feng shui energy it can absorb. The more good feng shui energy your front door can absorb, the better energy is there to support you!

What makes a strong feng shui front door? A door that is attractive, proportionate to the size of the house, opens easily and freely, enjoys beautiful paint in the right feng shui color, has good door hardware.

2. A main entry with inviting, self-contained energy

The main entry is very important in feng shui because it has to have the ability to draw in, and direct the incoming energy into your home. It has to have a quality of energy that is welcoming, as well as self-contained, so that incoming Chi can settle in. There should be no doors or windows directly facing the front door, as they will promote the leakage of energy.

3. A happy, active, and nourishing energy kitchen

The kitchen is considered the heart of the home in many cultures for obvious reasons. In feng shui, the kitchen is also connected to the health and wealth energy, so it is very important to take good care of its energy.

4. The bedroom as the most loved room in the house

You must have heard me many times say that the bedroom is the most important room in the house. That is, in a good feng shui house, of course. Instead of focusing so much attention on grand living rooms and expensive kitchen appliances to impress others, it would do the house (and us) so much good to create a good feng shui home by keeping our valuable attention on the bedroom.

Love it (and yourself) with beautiful natural beddings, colors, sensual art, fresh air infused with healing essential oils, soothing lighting, and anything else that makes your heart feel loved and taken care of.

5. Clearly defined rhythms of activity and stillness

In order to create and keep good feng shui energy in your home, it is important to have natural rhythms expressed visually in your decor. It is the energy of inhaling and exhaling, the energy of night and day, summer and winter, yin and yang.

Good feng shui is all about good energy, and good energy is alive and moving. This means that for a house to have good feng shui energy, it has to have a constant flow of fresh energy, plenty of natural light, alive items such as flowers, vibrant art, good sounds, crystals, healthy plants.

6. Well taken care of utilitarian places

In a good feng shui house, all the areas that are usually not paid much attention to, are loved and well taken care of. From the bathroom to the laundry room, from your closets to the basement and the garage — all these spaces need care as they are still part of your house. You cannot really hide anything in your house; energetically this would be similar to neglecting parts of your body.

For good feng shui, the house as a whole needs order and proper care, as well as a basic respectful loving treatment. Know that you cannot really hide any space in a good feng shui house because in the world of energy walls do not exist.

Every part of your home is connected to every other part (again, just like in the human body), so it is really important to pay loving attention to your whole home without neglecting any areas.
