WHAT ISN’T FENG SHUI

What Feng Shui Is Not and What Really Doesn’t Matter

On the Space And Rituals page, we usually write about what Feng Shui is and how to use it to make our lives better. Today, however, we will tell you what Feng Shui is not and what truly doesn’t matter:

  • The number of your apartment, car, or mobile phone – Yes, it might matter from a numerological perspective, but not in terms of the space you inhabit and how it affects you.

  • Which floor you live on – This has no bearing on Feng Shui principles.

  • Whether you have cacti at home – Poor cactus! It’s the most unfairly criticized plant in Feng Shui because of its needles. In reality, they can’t harm you. We all have enough other "sharp corners" in our homes to worry about the cactus.

  • The stove facing the sink – According to some Feng Shui practitioners, this is a big problem because the stove symbolizes the fire element, and the sink represents the water element. Placing them opposite each other pits two antagonistic elements against one another. However, in classical Feng Shui, this is not of significant importance.

  • A series of multiple doors in a row – The only effect of this layout is that it speeds up the energy flow, but this can easily be corrected with a few well-placed potted plants.

  • The height of your table and bed – Some schools of thought insist on strictly defined heights for tables and beds. In classical Feng Shui, there is no such rule. You can dine at a table of any height without it affecting your well-being or digestion.

  • Your front door and wallet needing to be red – This depends on many factors, such as the direction of the front door, the horoscope of the house, and the personal elements of the people living there. The chance that you need a red front door or a red wallet is about 10%.
