One of the biggest myths about Feng Shui is that it’s mainly about arranging your furniture and decorating your home.
This misunderstanding is shared by Feng Shui newbies and skeptics alike.
But if decorating tips were all Feng Shui had to offer, its value in your life would be very low indeed.
Feng Shui has been around for thousands of years because it offers so much more than mere decorating tips.
In fact one of Feng Shui’s greatest strengths is that it helps you to stay safe and secure in your environment, freeing you to focus on the most important things in your life.
When you feel safe enough to relax you can focus on enhancing your life, using the Bagua Map to develop purpose and intention, and the Five Elements to create balance and harmony.
Here are a few examples of the ways that Feng Shui protects you, reduces your stress, and helps you stay safe.
Follow these links to learn more about using Feng Shui’s important ideas about security in your environment.
- Arranging furniture in the Command Position: When you take charge of your space, you take charge of your life.
- Staying safe with bells: Bells on a front door alert you to comings and goings in your home even when you can’t see the front door.
- Avoiding spiral staircases: Spiral staircases can be dangerous, so Feng Shui advises against them.
- Assessing the logic of your home’s layout: The Bagua Map is laid out in such a way that your most important assets are the most protected. Mimicking this layout in your home will keep you safer, too.
- Headboards and footboards: how the style of your bed can help you feel safer.
These key Feng Shui tips give you an excellent way to get started, making your home a safer, more relaxed place to be.
