Any thing or living space has its own unique energy. Many people try to arrange their home in such a way that all family members and guests feel comfortable here. An ancient teaching from China, Feng Shui, which is more than 2 thousand years old, can help with this.
The name, consisting of a pair of words, translates as air-water. The doctrine says that certain zones are responsible for any area of human life, and living space is divided into them. By properly arranging this or that area, it is possible to achieve success in life.
There are 9 feng shui zones in the apartment, represented on the Ba Gua octagon in the form of career, family, children, wealth, health, fame, love, career and wisdom. According to ancient history, about 2 thousand years ago, a large turtle came ashore, whose shell was decorated with a divine message in the form of trigrams orderedly arranged in a circle. They were deciphered by a sage named Fu Xi. Ba-Gua consists of eight trigrams facing the cardinal directions, and the ninth is located in the center.
Finding zones
To independently delimit the feng shui zones in your home in the correct order, you should acquire a compass, an apartment plan and an octagonal Ba-Gua grid.
First of all, using a compass, determine the place in the house where the north is. This is the starting point. Having marked the north on the plan, they combine it with the Ba-Gua trigram, which is responsible for the career; by laying out the grid on the plan, it becomes clear where a specific zone is located in the house.
However, due to modern non-standard layouts, the apartment plan does not always fit into the Ba Gua grid. Often, some areas simply fall out. It is possible to harmonize missing areas by strengthening them in the largest room - the living room. To do this, the room is divided into sectors using the same method so that the dropped zones are included in the Ba-Gua grid.
After delimiting the space into zones, you can begin to activate each individual sphere.
Do you want changes for the better? Activate the appropriate area of the room
In order to activate a certain zone in the room, you do not have to perform complex rituals or perform songs of Asian shamans. It is enough to arrange the space in a certain way. An important condition - be sure to listen to yourself, and use only those items that evoke positive emotions. In the assistants and travel area, place photos of places you would like to go, sparkling crystals or metal objects. An almost universal way for any area of life is to know the age of the person whose life needs to be improved, determine the element of the year of birth and place the object associated with this element in the appropriate zone.
The career zone is activated by improving its illumination, crystals, and “wind music”. Any office equipment will be appropriate - fax, computer, landline telephone. A miniature indoor fountain is also suitable for enhancing career growth or successfully finding your dream job.
The zone of wisdom and knowledge is ideal for placing a bookcase and an empty glass vase. Sources of additional activation will be the textbooks and dictionaries stored here. A work area, for example, a table with a chair, is ideally placed in the wisdom zone.
The family zone is activated by placing here family photographs, images of happy couples, items related to the element of the year of birth, as well as your handmade items. Take care to increase the degree of illumination.
If you are dissatisfied with your own financial situation, try changing the situation in the wealth zone. Place an indoor fountain or a large plant with rounded leaves here. In China, there is an interesting custom for attracting money - placing several coins wrapped in paper under a flower pot. A plant placed in a wealth zone must be carefully cared for. Dried or limp leaves are unacceptable.
You can hang any picture on the wall that depicts the water element. Another option is to place a metal saucer filled with coins. You can attract positive Qi to the glory zone by placing crystals and objects based on the element of the year of birth in it. This area is the ideal place for diplomas, awards, and portraits of the residents of the house. Here it is recommended to keep items associated with cleanliness and transparency. The zone of love and relationships is activated with the help of crystals and objects associated with the birth years of partners. Successful photographs showing lovers, paired dolphin figurines, or any other paired items - from two armchairs from the same furniture set to a two-armed candlestick - would be useful. If problems arise with a child, lack of vital energy, or creative ideas, it is advisable to activate the zone of childhood and creativity. Make sure there is sufficient illumination and place a stereo or bright children's toys here. If you have problems conceiving offspring, place a young plant in the children's area. Of course, don't forget to take care of it. The health zone, the central sector of the room, is the main one, connecting all the others. If you want to improve your quality of life and improve your well-being, hang a bright crystal chandelier here and place a round rug on the floor.
Feng Shui rules
Feng Shui of an apartment depends not only on the competent activation of a particular area, but also on adhering to general rules.
The most important rule is maintaining cleanliness in every corner of the living space. The teaching prohibits accumulating and storing unnecessary things, as this contributes to the accumulation of destructive energy.
Much attention is paid to windows. They must be kept clean. Through large openings, the favorable energy “qi” penetrates well inside. A coating of dust and dirt on the glass indicates the accumulation of bad energy. It is also unacceptable to clutter the window sills with a large number of flower pots.
All old, broken, unnecessary things and equipment must be thrown out of the house, as they accumulate negative energy. The same applies to the first aid kit and ladies' cosmetic bag.
In order for good Feng Shui to be present in an apartment at all times, it is necessary to frequently move objects in the rooms. Then the energy “qi” will be able to circulate freely in space. To do this, it is enough to change the location of 27 any objects in the house, for example, swap photo frames or rehang paintings.
All plumbing must work flawlessly, and the bathroom and toilet remain perfectly clean. And to attract cash flows, you should close the toilet lid.
Bright lighting contributes to the strong attraction of positive energy flows. Therefore, the entire apartment should be well lit; any burnt out light bulbs should be thrown away immediately.
It is important to correctly arrange the furniture in the apartment according to Feng Shui. To do this, knowing the Ba Gua zones, you need to arrange the main furniture items in their places.
How can you strengthen Feng Shui zones?
For the ancient Chinese teaching to work in full force, it is necessary to strengthen some sectors in the apartment. According to Feng Shui, their activation occurs by placing certain objects that attract Qi energy in each specific zone. For example, to strengthen the wealth sector, it is necessary to install an aquarium in the southeast, Chinese money on a red ribbon.
But the main rule is not to overdo it. It is enough to activate several, but the most important zones at a given time. For example, health, wealth and career.
The effect of this will be large-scale and will affect all areas of life.
Activating zones is a way to improve certain areas of our lives and change the energy field of the apartment.
So, how can you strengthen the Feng Shui sectors in your apartment?
- The wealth zone on the Bagua grid corresponds to the southeast. The main colors of the sector are purple and green, its element is water, talismans that activate this sphere: mini-fountains, an aquarium with live fish, a model of a ship (but the sailboat must be oriented so that its bow is turned into the room).
- The health sector is located in the east, the main color is terracotta, the element of the sector is earth, talismans: paintings depicting cranes, round crystal chandeliers, peaches, a dining table (if possible, it is better to place it in the center of the room).
- The quarry zone is the northern part of the Bagua grid. Sector element – water, color – black, blue, blue. If you need to change something in your work, move up the career ladder, get a promotion or change your profession, you need to activate this sector. A turtle is best suited for this: the more of them there are in this part of the apartment, the better. Water talismans have a good effect on the sector: aquariums, sailboats, paintings depicting water, fountains.
- The creativity and children's area is located in the west of the Bagua grid. The color of the sector is white, silver, the main element is metal. According to Feng Shui, this side of the apartment is responsible for caring for children, their success, and maternal happiness. The talismans are bells and figures of small children.
- The assistant sector is also responsible for travel - this is the northwestern part of the apartment. The main colors are gold, white, silver, metal. Activating this part will allow you to find a patron among your superiors, receive support, and make an unforgettable trip. Zone mascots: angels, portraits of famous people, icons of saints.
- The knowledge sector is the northeast of the Bagua grid. Colors: from beige to brown. Activation of the zone will allow a person to achieve success in his studies. Sector talismans: snakes and crystals, porcelain vases, globe, clay figurines.
- The love zone is in the southwest of the Bagua grid. Color – terracotta, element – earth. They activate the sector with paired items or chocolates, fresh flowers, hearts, and so on.
- Glory Zone. Its element is fire, its color is red. Talismans: dove and other birds (but not birds of prey or wooden figurines). You can activate the zone using lamps. You can put all the symbols of your personal achievements in this place in the apartment: diplomas, certificates, cups, medals, and so on.
Determining and activating feng shui sectors is important when studying the methods of influencing objects on human life. But, according to ancient teaching, other factors also have a significant influence on our lives, for example, what the front door to a home looks like, what number the apartment has, or what color its walls are painted. Let’s consider additional aspects that will allow you to harmoniously organize the space and arrange the “right apartment” according to Feng Shui.
Feng Shui of one-room apartments
It is still possible to decorate a one-room apartment according to Feng Shui, even despite its small area. To do this, you should free up space from unnecessary and bulky things so that “qi” energy can circulate freely.
Using the Ba-Gua octagon, you need to delimit the zones, and then also activate each one by placing the necessary attributes.
Photos of the design of a small apartment according to Feng Shui show that any room can be both beautiful and energetically positively charged if you follow simple recommendations and advice.
Using mirrors according to Feng Shui
A mirror in a house is one of the most important interior elements. It helps to expand the space, make the room more multifaceted and more interesting.
Redistributes the flow of qi energy and recreates the missing zone.
Note! According to the teachings of Feng Shui, mirrors, by reflecting objects, can both attract and strengthen positive energy and bring “negativity” into the home environment.
Here are a few rules to follow to enhance your well-being:
- When installing a mirror in the hallway, it should be placed to the right or left of the front door at such a height that the tallest member of the family does not have his head or part of it cut off.
- If a mirror hangs in the dining room, then it should reflect the dining table, which contributes to the integrity of the family.
- Mirrors must be kept clean, free of streaks and stains. All objects reflected in it must be clear, since any distortion takes away positive energy from the house.
Mirrors in Feng Shui living room interiors should be placed opposite the windows if the house has a beautiful view.
Remember! You cannot place a mirror opposite the front door. This contributes to the loss of energy from the home. This rule also applies to other doors located in the apartment.

Useful and harmful things in the house
Important conditions for the dominance of positive energy in the house are:
- purity;
- correct arrangement of objects;
- lack of trash.
Dust interferes with the normal circulation of energy, so it should not be present not only on the surface of the furniture, but also under it. Negative energy accumulates in the toilet and trash can, so they need to be cleaned regularly.
Only things, especially clothes, that are necessary and used should be present in the house. Everything that is not used should be removed from the living space, because... this creates stagnation of energy.
Sick flowers are classified as harmful. Plants with thorns or lacking leaves, bouquets of reeds or feather grass, and climbing plants are unfavorable for attracting positive energy. You should not plant pansies in your apartment, because... graves are decorated with these flowers.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the Honey Plot - a powerful way to achieve what you want.
Useful things that are Feng Shui talismans that protect positive energy in the home include:
- paintings with images of nature;
- personally collected and dried bouquets from the meadows (they are powerful amulets and can neutralize negative energy);
- painted or embroidered miniatures of plants or animals hung on the walls;
- figurines of animals (wild or domestic), nesting dolls or a family of elephants arranged by height, soldiers placed on shelves keep peace and order in the house;
- miniature cushions with embroidery on sofas will become the key to human harmony in family life and creativity.
