Ancient Chinese philosophy is an inspiration to some individuals and plain superstition to others. There is a lot of interest in the practice of Feng Shui, both in the East and in the West. The guidelines have an effect on every aspect of life for those who believe in it. Recently, the New Age society has been influenced by elements such as wind chimes and crystals. The core of the philosophy is the energy flow or lack of it. How objects are placed in relation to each other dictates this flow and has a negative or positive effect on the environment. The quality of the energy affects relationships, finance and health. Many people arrange the contents of their homes, following the rules and recommendations of FengShui. (Some call it Fen Shui or FenShui but its a mistake) Different rooms in the house have different needs and cannot be treated in the same way. There should be only one door for the bedroom and the bed should not be placed in between the door and the window as this could disturb your sleep. The bed should be made of wood and inhabitants should sleep at least 45cm above the floor and be facing the door. Pictures of wild animals or water as well as mirrors should be avoided. Thick curtains should drape the window and the walls should be painted in green,red or blue shades. The stove and sink should not be adjacent in the kitchen as the proximity of water and fire can lead to conflict. Cookers should be located in the south corner, the room must have a wide entry and microwaves are not recommended. Feng Shui is also applied to dining rooms and living rooms. There should be at least one wall without a window and the walls should be painted in bright colors. Elements that bring luck include mirrors to reflect food on the table, the hanging of family pictures and television sets or hi-fi systems that stand at the west wall. Even the powder room has guidelines. To keep out negative energy, the door and toilet lid should be kept closed. The room should always be clean and having plants and pictures in there brings bad luck. A dark stairway can bring negative energy, so keep the stairs brightly lit. Good fortune will fall through open stairs and confusion will be brought by a spiral staircase. Entries should also be brightly lit but be painted in soft shades. They should be warm and can be decorated with plants or water features. It's amusing to experiment with Feng Shui and see its affects, if any.
