We often encounter various types of invisible energies that we wish to surround ourselves with in order to bring about positive changes in our lives. The ancient practices of Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra can help us achieve these goals.

The two theories, based on the ancient practices of China and India, revolve around the concept of harming the environment by modifying various aspects of a house’s design and construction. It is believed that these concepts can be applied together to achieve a combined effect. However, the two differ when it comes to the prescribed five elements.

The former, referred to as Feng Shui, focuses on the elements of water, earth, fire, air, and space. On the other hand, Vastu focuses on the elements of metal and wood. Although the Chinese system is commonly used for existing spaces, the concepts can also be applied to new buildings.

Here’s everything you need to know about improving feng shui and its benefits.

The Centre

The concept of Feng Shui refers to the center as the heart of the home. It is believed that this area is where all of the Bagua energies come from. Similarly, in the case of Vastu, the central point of the house is referred to as the Brahma Sthala. This area should be kept free of clutter in order to attract and retain beneficial vibrations.

The Greens

Autotrophs are often used to represent growth and life. They can also help create a welcoming environment for people living in the house. According to Feng Shui, plants with sharp leaves can stimulate the Chi forces in the house. On the other hand, round-leafed plants can bring more Yin qualities to the space. Additionally, keeping various types of bamboo or tulsi plants can be considered as a good sign for the house.

Both philosophies consider the presence of prickly plants, such as Cacti, as a negative energy source. The east side of the living room is said to be ideal for green plants, as this can help boost one’s vitality and health.

The Colors

The colors used in the house can also help increase the flow of Yin energy in the space. In addition, the Chinese system suggests using earthy tones such as brown, peach, blues, and greens in certain areas. Moreover, it emphasizes the use of various interior décor and designs to enhance the chi energy.

According to experts, using certain colors in certain directions can also help enhance the flow of Yin energy in the space. For instance, the moon can be used to represent the white color, while blue should be utilized in the west corners and the northwest walls.

The Water

Having an aquarium can be a great stress-buster, as it can lower one’s anxiety levels and blood pressure. Having a healthy and happy fish tank can also help address any issues related to finance that might occur in the house.

In addition to fish, the other element in an aquarium is water. According to Feng Shui, this type of animal’s rapid movement can increase the active Chi energy, leading to better health and wealth for the family. It is also believed that regular feeding of fish can help build one’s good karma. Having an aquarium in the east or northeast direction can help remove negative energy from the house.

Both Feng Shui and the Chinese system of Vastu suggest against using water features in the bedroom.
