Feng Shui Home Tips: How To Check the Flow of Chi

With all the emphasis on good Chi for good feng shui, it is really important to get into the habit of regularly checking the energy flow in your home. Be especially mindful about creating a good flow of Chi whenever you are redecorating, renovating, or just want to reposition the existing furniture for better feng shui.

One of the basic ways to check the energy flow in your home is to imagine Chi, or energy, as water. If water where to flow into your home from the main door, where would it stagnate?

Would the water harmoniously and smoothly flow to all areas of your space, gently refreshing them, or would it rush right out the back door?

Would it encounter blockages as soon as it enters your home, such as, for example, a wall or a closet facing (and in very close proximity to) the main door?

Other feng shui scenarios that can contribute to the leakage of Chi are:

• Main Door in Line with the Back Door (or Big Window)


• Mirror Facing the Main Door


• Stairs Facing the Main Door

Be sure to position your furniture in a way that allows for a smooth flow to all areas of your home and avoid any blockages and stagnant areas, such as stuffed closets, for example, that create bad feng shui energy, or si chi.
