Feng Shui and
the Bathroom
As the ancient art of
Feng Shui predates the existence of indoor plumbing, creating the
correct bathroom space can be a bit of a challenge. Like anything,
there are positives and negatives associated with this space. The good
news is that it can be arranged and decorated to not interfere with the
movement of positive chi throughout your home and life. Feng Shui has
only one purpose, and that is to create a harmonious balance in every
aspect of life for each and every member of the household. Feng Shui
and the bathroom can be compatible if a person keeps some key elements
in mind.
First of all, as
previously mentioned, the bathroom does have some good influences.
Since the water element is heavy in this room, it symbolizes a healthy
cash flow, wealth, and career chi. Like the other aspects of life,
these are important in defining the perfect balance of all of the
elements, and the bathroom is a good place to start. Feng Shui and
bathroom design will further enhance the positive chi of this space.
One the other hand,
there are certainly negative influences at work in this space as well.
While the bathroom is the area used for bathing and is rich in the water
element, it is still the room for elimination and waste. For this
reason, there are certain precautions that should be practiced to reduce
the effect of this negative energy on the overall flow of chi through
the home. In Feng Shui and bathroom arrangement, diminishing the
effects of the toilet and shower fixtures is very important.
Let’s start with
maintaining the bathroom space. Clutter is the natural enemy of
positive chi flow in any area of the home. This is no less true for the
bathroom. The first step is to thoroughly clean and de-clutter the
bathroom. This includes linen closets, under the sink, and the shower
stall. Once that is done, turn your attention to the water fixtures
themselves. It is absolutely essential that the facets and drains be in
perfect working order. A leaking facet simply indicates that money is
being wasted. The last thing you want to do is reduce the power of the
water element by allowing your prosperity to literally go down the
drain. Feng Shui and bathroom maintenance dictate that you have all
water related fixtures working well.
In terms of colors
and decorating ideas in Feng Shui and bathroom design, there are a few
tips that will make things easier for you. The best colors for use in
the bathroom are light blues, cream colors, and muted grays. The key is
to keep the environment looking and feeling light and open. Your mirror
should be as large as possible. The belief surrounding this suggestion
is that by having a clear, full picture of yourself at the beginning of
the day, you are starting the day with a bright vision. Avoid having one
of the popular versions of bathroom mirrors that is separated into 2
pieces. This breaks up your clear view and is not helpful in generating
good chi.
Like all of the
other rooms in your home, the bathroom should be a source of comfort and
ease. Keeping the room clean and free of debris is a good way to help
ensure that is the case. Also decorate the space in the most light and
good mood inducing colors and themes possible. There are several
excellent accents that when used in the bathroom, work to enhance the
positive influence of the bathroom. Crystals are great in this room.
Another option is to create the ultimate pampering spa right in your
bathroom. Large, fluffy towels, bath salts scented with your favorite
fragrances and lovely candles combine Feng Shui and the bathroom in a
way is nothing less than decadent to your senses. There isn’t anything
like pampering yourself to restore the essential balance every person
needs to fully reap the benefits of practicing Feng Shui.
If you discover that
your bathroom is a particularly unproductive Feng Shui spot, there are
some things you can do to counterbalance the negative effects. For
example, a bathroom placed in the center of the home is not the best for
the good flow of chi. In this case, be sure to keep the toilet lid down
when not in use and leave the bathroom door closed at all times. The
careful placement of full length mirrors is useful in this situation as
well. Place the mirror on the outside of the door to encourage the
positive energy to continue to flow through the home. These simple
changes can eliminate many of the issues that sometimes come up with
Feng Shui and bathrooms.
Carefully balancing the
positive and negative aspects of the bathroom is the most important
aspect of Feng Shui and bathroom design. The fortunate part is
that it can be done to encourage the best chi for your entire family.
