Feng Shui is a complex theory, and involves many different principles that are designed to make living and working spaces more positive for each individual, by balancing energy (Yin and Yang). It takes many years to become a professional Feng Shui consultant, and a complete Feng Shui house makeover would first involve working out your Kua, which is the number that determines which factors are best for you individually, and is based on a simple system of using your birth date (from the Chinese Lunar Calendar) and your sex, using this calculation:
Males – 10 minus the last two digits of the year you were born (if two digits add these together until they are one digit)
Females – 5 plus the last two digits of the year you were born (if two digits add these together until they are one digit)
Your Kua is important when working out factors such as the way your head should point to whilst you are sleeping, which is very important in Feng Shui, as north, south, east and west or all assigned different properties in relation to your Kua. The majority of Kua’s have westerly affinities and so arranging your bed in this direction is luckiest for most, with the north and south bringing more disruptive influences:
Kua 1 and 4 people – you have an affinity with the east, and the direction of southeast is thought to be the luckiest, and a good direction to face your head whilst you are sleeping. Avoid west or northeast directions as these can bring harmful influences your way.
Kua 5 person – if you are male, you will have an affinity with the northeast, if you are female then it will be for the southwest. The opposite directions will bring trouble and difficulties if used by the other sex.
There are some basic Feng Shui principles that can apply whatever you Kua, and these are simply and easy to use in your own home
Mirrors – these are both good and bad in Feng Shui, as they deflecting and absorb harmful influences, but they are uniformly thought to be negative in bedroom spaces, as they interfere with the flow of chi (energy) whilst you sleep. If you do have a mirror in your bedroom, move it or hand a cloth over it when you are not using it, and do not face it opposite a door or window (it will reflect all the energy coming in).
Windows – energy comes into your house through the windows, and so they should be clean and clear of clutter, with the drapes pulled back during the day.
Corners – corners funnel negative energy, so avoid putting any seats here and instead deflect negative energy by placing a positive object in this space, such as a plant or glass cabinet.
