Basic Feng Shui Tips
Here are some of the more useful Feng Shui tips that I have come across myself, and that I use when practicing Feng Shui tips.
Feng Shui tip 1: Get things balanced. The core of Feng Shui and any Feng Shui tip is to get things in your life balanced. Whilst Feng Shui undoubtedly focuses a lot on your environment, this doesn’t mean that you should ignore the rest of your life too – if there’s something going on that you’ve just been putting off for ages, chances are it’s affecting your life AND environment. So there’s the first non-Feng Shui Feng Shui tip.
Feng Shui tip 2: Clear your clutter! The basic fundamental of all organization and management systems is to have this looking nice, neat and compartmentalized. So why should your environment be any different? If it’s looking a little crowded in your home or apartment, apply this Feng Shui tip easily by throwing out what you haven’t used in a year. If you’re unsure about anything, ask yourself if you’re going to use it in the next 6 months. No? Donate it to charity or chuck it out.

Feng Shui tip 3: Feng Shui everything in your life. Your life is an interconnected jigsaw: your workplace, your bedroom, your living room and your home study are all connected. The qi in each room influences and reflects the qi in other rooms. An upset anywhere can throw it all off balance. Be sure that when you’re applying Feng Shui in your life, apply it to anywhere and everywhere you can. That’s an important Feng Shui tip.
Feng Shui tip 4: Use the bagua the way that works for you. If you’ve forgotten, the bagua can be applied two ways – either using Compass bearings, or by facing your home and aligning the Career aspect to yourself. Neither way is right or wrong, though you’ll hear people arguing about it all the time. Find which application works for you, and stick with this Feng Shui tip.

Feng Shui tip 5: I had to put in a fifth Feng Shui tip because four is an unlucky number in China. I think I’ll call this one ‘be sensible’. Don’t go overboard with your Feng Shui – trust me, I know from experience. When you get going on a roll, you tend to start to Feng Shui everything: rooms, desk, lives, your kid’s rooms, neighbors, gardens and so on… Remember to keep everything in balance and don’t go overboard.
