Feng Shui for the Bathroom - For Health and Wealth
Feng Shui for Bathrooms – Keep them Functioning Properly
When it comes to bathrooms, we do not give them much thought as to how they are decorated. As long as the bathroom is functional, that’s enough. This may not be the first room we think about, but giving the bathroom some attention with the principles of Feng Shui is very important. Bathrooms are a necessary space and have a big influence on the rest of the home and the people that live in that home. In Feng Shui, bathrooms have a relationship to cleansing and the element of water and wealth. When a bathroom is in disrepair, leaking or plugged, this could lead to other problems of health and lack of money. Good Feng Shui for the bathroom means clean, working and healthy.
Good Feng Shui in a bathroom would include ideas such as keep the bathroom door closed to the rest of the house. Keep the toilet lid down blocking the drain. Cover the sinks and bathroom drains when not in use. Place a bamboo on the bathroom counter and have it reflected back by a mirror. Place a screen between the toilet and the rest of the bathroom. Decorate the bathroom to feel inviting with good quality towels to show wealth and abundance. Gold towels may be a good choice as this is the color of health and wealth. Keep the clutter down in the bathroom and make sure there are no kitchen appliances in the bathroom. Open the bathroom window for good circulation of energy. Smoke some white sage in the bathroom to remove blocked energy. Place fresh flowers or plants in the bathroom anytime for uplifting energy. Using earthy objects such as a terra cotta soap dish, in the bathroom is a good technique for balancing the water energy. Warm colors in a bathroom décor help to balance dark, damp yin energies. Keep the bathroom in good working order and a necessary bathroom can be a supportive room.
We shape our dwellings and our dwellings shape us.
