Your living room is likely one of the most well-used rooms in your home. It’s where you go to relax, to be with family and unwind from the stresses of your day. So, if the Feng Shui isn’t right in this room, you’re going to notice! Using good Feng Shui practices in your living room will elevate it from being just a space to sit together and watch TV into a warm, welcoming one that’ll feel like the heart of your home. Here are my top living room Feng Shui tips for creating the perfect relaxation space in your home.
Clear the clutter
In Feng Shui, clutter is one of the first things you should look at. All those extra items you have crowding your space aren’t letting the good Chi flow around as it should.
How well the good energy flows is important in your living room since it’s one of your home’s more public rooms. The flow of good Chi promotes a welcoming space and invites good health to everyone in it.
Think about your furniture
No living room is complete without its furniture. A table or two, seating and storage are all expected to appear here. But your furniture choices can make a significant difference when it comes to Feng Shui.
Try to choose furniture with soft, rounded edges. Furniture with sharp corners can obstruct the flow of Chi, especially when they stick out into walkway areas.
When choosing a coffee table, opt for wood instead of glass. Glass is thought to be inauspicious and can intensify negative Chi energy.
Focus on seating
Above all else, you should ensure there’s enough seating for everyone in the home, with enough space to accommodate guests, too.
Place the back of your sofa against a solid wall, if you’re able, so that you can see the entryway into the room. This helps create a feeling of safety. Don’t place it in front of the window as it obstructs the positive Chi from entering in, as well as stopping you from enjoying your view. And avoid placing your sofa (or “floating” it) in the centre of the room of yin and yang energies.
Think about colours
Colours are used in Feng Shui to enhance or support particular areas in your life. So, it’s worth giving some consideration to the colours you use in your living room.
Keep the furniture in neutral colours as this creates a calming, grounding influence. It also works as a clean slate for decorating. If you want to use specific colours to aid certain parts of your life, incorporate these in a few added elements. Coloured cushions, vases and other decorative items can all add a touch of colour to your room. Keeping things neutral means it won’t interfere with annual Classical Feng Shui remedies, like blue for water, red for fire and so on.
When painting your walls, try to avoid dark colours. In Feng Shui, the sort of colours that invite the flow of good energy and balance are on the lighter end of the spectrum.
Let’s talk about your TV
In this modern world, it’s unusual to see a living room without a TV. But its reflective surface can act like a mirror when not in use, allowing it to reflect clutter, bringing about unwanted negative energy. I’d recommend keeping it enclosed in a cabinet or covered up when not in use if you’re able to.
Let there be light
Light is significant in Feng Shui. So your living room should be bright and open, allowing light to flow and fill the space. Do make sure you open your drapes and blinds in the morning to invite the positive energy in.
Floors and walls
I recommend placing an area rug, especially on a wooden floor, as this adds warmth to the room and helps ground the energy.
And for your walls, look at placing some well-chosen pieces of art. The artwork you choose is important. Try to select images that show happy places or smiling people and aren’t too bold or bright in colour. Your art should be pleasant and positive. I recommend natural scenes such as landscapes and try to steer away from abstract art. Too many abstract pieces can create a sense of confusion due to the chaotic nature of the patterns used.
Bring life to your living room
A living room bustling with life brings excellent positive energy into the space and helps to purify the air. So, consider having some healthy plants in the room. You don’t need to go too crazy here, though! Be selective and choose plants like Peace Lily, Bamboo, Succulents and Snake Plants. They all are thought to bring good energy into your home.
And if you’d like some help rearranging your living room and home, then let’s have a chat. I’d love to help you create the dream living space for you and your family using the principles of Classical Feng Shui.
A Feng Shui consultation is about adjusting and improving energy flow around your home to create better balance in your life. Small changes, like adding a mirror to a space or putting up some art, right through to more significant adjustments, can make a world of difference. But it can be hard to know where to start. That’s where I come in! Here’s how to prepare your home for a Feng Shui Consultation, so you get the most benefits possible.
Before Your Consultation
A successful consultation is about good preparation. So, before we meet, I ask for some information from you.
First, there’s a questionnaire to complete, which helps me focus on the areas of importance during our consultation. The questions ask for pertinent information, such as the residents’ birth data and any questions or concerns you might have at this point for me to address in the study.
I’ll also ask for a copy of your house plan or floor plan. This is a document you can get from City Hall if you don’t already have one. Some charge a small fee, others give it for free, depending on your location.
Using this information, along with compass readings which are an important part of Classical Feng Shui, I make my calculations and identify areas of imbalance among the five Feng Shui energies in any living environment before overlaying it on the floor plan. From here, I then produce a report with my recommendations and plan your in-home visit or online meeting.
In-Person Consultations
The next step is to schedule a meeting at your home.
Home consultations vary in length, depending on your needs, questions and the size of your home. But, to give you some idea, it lasts for a minimum of two hours.
I come prepared with your customized binder, which includes a detailed written report and Personal Trigrams of all primary members of the household (to suggest your personal best directions and power colors, etc). I do a walkthrough of your home with you, detailing my findings and recommendations in your case study. I aim to give you a clear plan to execute to improve the energy flow in your home. I expect you’ll have questions, so this is the time to ask me anything you want to know. I want to be sure it all makes sense to you before I leave.
Your consultation ends with a meditation and Energy Clearing Ritual. This is a complementary addition to Feng Shui consultations. It helps to balance and clear negativity and stagnant energy from your home accumulated over time.
Online Consultations
The internet has made it possible for me to extend my Feng Shui consultations to you virtually. Online consultations are an obvious choice for people who are not comfortable with me coming into their home right now. Mostly, that means my services are accessible to you, even if you’re not in the lower mainland of BC.
An online consultation works much like a home consultation, with a few differences. As before, I sent you a questionnaire and asked you for your home plan. I also ask you to send photographs and a walkthrough video of your home. Don’t worry, I give you full instructions on how to do this when you book in.
Once I’ve put together your case study, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining all areas of your living space and also all the household members’ Personal Trigrams. I schedule a Zoom meeting with you to go through everything. This is the equivalent of me walking through your home. I guide you through the recommendations I’ve made, and you can ask questions as we talk.
The online consultation doesn’t include a space clearing ceremony but I do guide you through it, which makes you better equipped to do it whenever you feel your home needs it in the future.
What You’ll Get
The Feng Shui consultation gives you lots of detailed information to help the energy flow around your home.
You’ll receive:
A full, detailed written report, either given to you during our visit or emailed to you to read at your leisure.
Personal Trigrams for all the primary members of the household.
Feng Shui tips for each room of your house.
Recommendations on choosing appropriate colours, how to arrange your furniture and what decor will enhance different areas of your life. Areas of focus can be anything from health to wealth, career, fame and business relationships, love, family, travel and self-cultivation.
Recommendations on how to clear your clutter and improve the flow of energy around your home.
Useful affirmations and guidance you can use alongside your new Feng Shui space and intentions.
Extra supporting materials and resources. There’s also additional assistance to declutter or beautify your space or adjust to new energetic flows or intentions. This is available as an hourly service.
Responses to any questions you might have following your consultation. You can email or message me, and I’ll be happy to help if your in-depth report does not cover it.
And, for face-to-face consultations, you’ll also receive the Space Clearing Ceremony, where I use Zenergy Chimes, Sage, sound and ritual to bring in fresh, new energy into your home.
So, if you’re ready to book your Feng Shui consultation, do get in touch with me and look forward to improved energy flow in your home.
Every business wants success, and there are plenty of ways that can be achieved. But have you thought about how Feng Shui can help? Simply put, when using Feng Shui practices in your business, you’re allowing the good Chi to flow, increasing productivity. Every successful business can enjoy an efficient, harmonious and well-organized space. So, here’s how to use Feng Shui to help your business be more successful.
How does Feng Shui work to help your business?
Do you often find yourself searching for a particular file or paper on your cluttered, crowded desk? Do you find the chaos of your office makes you feel disorganized as a result? Well, Feng Shui uses principles which help to declutter, organize and create a better flow of the energy, or Chi, around your workspace. Whether that’s at your office or if you’re working from home.
By applying Feng Shui to your business, it’ll help to both increase its strength and inspire your team. It’ll take that present energy and guide it so that it supports the continued success of your business, helping it to grow.
Does it work?
Using Feng Shui in business is a practice that has gone on for many years now. Lots of businesses use the ideas of Feng Shui in their surroundings, large corporations as well as small businesses. Even some Fortune 500 companies use the principles of Feng Shui. Companies like British Airways, Coca-Cola, Ford, the Hilton, McDonald’s and others are all notable users of Feng Shui in their offices. And you know how successful each of those businesses are! It shows that Feng Shui, which uses practices and principles that date back thousands of years, still has an impact on forward-thinking companies, even today.
Applying Feng Shui Techniques to Your Business
Declutter and Organize
Decluttering is a Feng Shui basic. It allows the flow of productive Chi to move through your space, where it was previously blocked by all the unnecessary items on your desk. Having a desk piled high with papers acts like a wall in your mind and leaves you feeling stuck. And if you’re feeling like that, it’s no wonder the success of your business seems out of reach.
So, spend some time going through everything on your desk and putting away anything you don’t need right now. Only keep out current files and items you need to use every day.

Your Desk
Did you know the position of your desk can influence the very happiness, success and prosperity of your business? To encourage success, the best place for your desk is the command position. This is where you can see as much of the room as possible, facing the door with the wall behind you. Think about it. How many offices have you been into where the boss had his back to you as you came in?
What your desk is made from is also important. The best choice in Feng Shui is a wooden desk, which allows the natural energy to come into your workspace.
Think About Lighting
In Feng Shui, the use of bright lights in entrances or on signs will attract prosperous Chi to your business. The use of metallic colours, like gold or silver, also encourages good fortune. And if any lights stop working, do try to replace them as soon as possible.
Plants and Flowers
Plants and fresh flowers in your workspace, like a wooden desk, allows natural and vibrant Chi to flow. They also improve the air quality of your space, as well as bringing in a little nature from outside.
Of course, you should make sure you keep your plants watered and healthy. Spend some time removing dead leaves and put them in areas where they’ll get natural sunlight.
Some of the best plants that aid with your business success, according to the principles of Feng Shui, are the Peace Lily, a Lucky Bamboo plant, a Moth Orchid or a Jade plant. Do avoid cacti or any plants with sharp leaves, as these can attract negative energy. Cacti are considered a symbol of survival rather than prosperity, which I’m sure doesn’t align with how you want to run your business!
Vibrant Artwork
A piece of art that’s bright, vibrant and visually appealing can enhance your career when chosen well. This can include all kinds of art – wall art, positive quotes and affirmations and photographs of natural scenes, for example. Some large photos around your office space will encourage inspiration and renewed energy, even when you don’t have any windows.
Do you ever get that sense that there’s negative energy in a room in your home? Don’t ignore those instincts or feelings. It’s worth placing a Salt Water Cure in your home to remove that negative energy, allowing the good Chi to flow through again. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about Salt Water Cure. You’ll learn what it is and how and where to place it in your home or office space.
What is a Salt Water Cure, and what does it do?
As the name suggests, a Salt Water Cure is a powerful cure that works to disperse and absorb any negative energy from wherever it’s placed. This could be in your home or office, wherever you feel there’s negative energy that requires removing.
Many ancient cultures state that salt has cleansing properties. It’s also thought to ward off negative energy. Combined with water, it becomes a powerful cleansing tool. The addition of the metal coins helps to stimulate a chemical reaction, allowing the negative energy to be dispersed and absorbed.
Salt Water Cure must be replaced every 12 months or at the beginning of the Feng Shui New Year in February when we renew the remedies in Classical Feng Shui. In some cases, it may build up an overflow of salt crystals from the top, depending on how much negative energy it receives. Keep an eye on the container; if it looks like it has done a lot of work and has become unmanageable in growth, then replace it with a new one.
Salt Water Cure
A Salt Water Cure consists of Himalayan Salt, which should be the highest quality you can find, a glass container, six brass I-Ching coins, and water. For the best results, the coins should come from a prosperous Dynasty, be cleared of any negative energy, and be empowered with positive energy.
You should repeat this practice each year at the beginning of February when the remedies in Classical Feng Shui are renewed. It may be that your Salt Water Cure creates a significant build-up of salt crystals due to the amount of negative energy it is absorbing. If it starts to become unmanageable as a result, you can replace it sooner.
Where to place your Salt Water Cure
Choosing a location for your Salt Water Cure is vital as negative energy moves from year to year. The location of the annual stars can help to determine this.
Once you know your location, place the cure somewhere safe, where it can’t be knocked, moved, or tampered with. This helps to avoid disturbing any of the accumulated negative energy. I recommend placing it behind a sofa, a decorative object, or a full plant, but ensure it’s somewhere you can easily access it so you can add water as needed. It’s worth placing the cure in a dish or earthenware, or ceramic planter, as sometimes it can overflow onto the floor. Keep the container open and uncovered. Don’t place it inside a cupboard or enclosed space.
Disposing of your Salt Water Cure
It would be best if you gave proper care and attention to the disposal of your Salt Water Cure at the end of the 12-month period. This is because it will have absorbed and built up a lot of negative energy in that time. You shouldn’t clean the coins or bowl and reuse them. Instead, dispose of the entire cure properly and start with a fresh new Salt Water Cure. The best way is to discard it entirely in the recycle bin. That way, you are literally throwing out the negative energy that the cure has removed from your home or office!

Let’s see how we can invite Feng Shui energy into your life
If you work from home or use your smartphone or computer in your business, they may help or hinder your efforts to be more efficient and effective. Most of us use these devices in our everyday life and jobs. Each moment spent on the device can bring about bad Chi and negative energy into our environment.
No one wants to wake up and dread the work day ahead of them so using classical Feng Shui principles to help de-clutter and de-stress our devices can be an amazing way to encourage those positive emotions in our daily routine.
By simply applying the following tips, it can help you and your subconscious mind attract new possibilities and opportunities for wealth, growth and fame.
Keep the Phone and Computer files clutter-free, delete old phone numbers that no longer serve you, clear out old, rarely used emails and files and stay current. When information is hard to find, we get frustrated and this clouds our interactions and the ability to think clearly. By clearing out old information, you create room for new clients and business to come your way. That also goes for the Trash Folder…once they’re deleted, they still haven’t left. By keeping the recycle bin clear, you will truly remove the files and extra clutter.
In the same way that you want to have plenty of free space in your surroundings for the Chi to flow freely, you also need to have ample space and memory on your device. Sluggish, slow moving Chi without ample free space is not conducive for new opportunities to come into your inbox.
Keep your screen clean to allow new experiences, people and prospects to enter in your life and business. When its full of dirty, greasy fingerprints, it will prevent you from seeing the opportunities that are coming your way.
Make sure the desktop image you choose is inspirational and welcoming. Waterfalls, Family Pictures, Vacation spot photos you love and pictures of calm water/beaches all make great images to keep in front of you. Choose vibrant colors to encourage clarity, energy and positivity.
Attempt to open your devices every day for at least few minutes for Chi to flow as it needs to be fresh. Stale Chi can get trapped and can’t escape just like when we open windows to let in fresh air.
Choose a password that inspires you as this is a simple yet highly effective way to send your higher self a positive reminder. Change it regularly to generate fresh and positive energy.
Protection is an important key in Feng Shui and that also applies to your devices. When you take protective actions to enhance your peace of mind and diminish your vulnerability, you are strengthening the positive Chi. Make sure your information is protected by installing protective software and virus detectors.
