Feng Shui: 7 things you should avoid having in your home

In Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese philosophy aiming for harmony with one’s surroundings, there are key tips to make your home a place of luck, abundance, and prosperity. Here are seven things you should avoid having in your home:

Withered or Dead Plants: Keep green and lively plants to attract positive energy. Discard dead or sick plants, as they can impair the energetic flow and even affect the health of the inhabitants.
Broken or Damaged Items: Damaged or broken items can symbolize reduced financial energy. Pay attention to burnt-out bulbs, broken appliances, stopped clocks, and water leaks. Repair or replace these items to maintain positive energy.
Clutter: A cluttered home can block the flow of energy, affecting prosperity and health. Keep the entrance of your home, known as the “Mouth of Chi,” clean and orderly to attract positive and prosperous energy.
Blocked Doors: Avoid obstructing the opening of doors. A door that doesn’t open fully can hinder the flow of energy and limit opportunities.
Beds without Headboards: In Feng Shui, a bed’s headboard is important for strength and support in personal life and health. Avoid beds without headboards or those “floating” in space.
Poorly Placed Mirrors: Strategically use mirrors to not disrupt the home’s Feng Shui. Avoid placing them directly facing the entrance door and consider their placement carefully to not disturb the energy.
Sharp or Pointed Objects: These can “cut” through the vital energy and affect the harmony and health of the residents. Prefer objects and plants with softer and rounded shapes to invite a calmer energy into your home.
