Designing Homes the Feng Shui Way
As a Feng Shui consultant to several home builders, I always take an interest in seeing what others say about Feng Shui as it pertains to homes.
The Times of India has an article with some very basic elements talking about how homes should be built, including the following (with my comments):
Main Door: The main door should be larger than any other door in the house and its directional position is important. I would like to add that the house should be designed in such a way that the front door can be used the most regularly as the main entryway. For a healthy Career & Life Path Area of your home, be sure to use your front door!
Kitchen: The article points out that there needs to be a balancing act between the various elements found in a kitchen (metal from utensils, fire from the stove, water from the sink, etc.). Placement is important so that these items work in a creative cycle for energy rather than a destructive cycle. See some of my tips for the kitchen here and here.
Master Bedroom: Though the article largely discusses furniture here, it correctly points out that the location of the master bedroom is very important, though it does not elaborate. While having the master bedroom in the Love & Relationship Corner, I would contend that it is most important that no part of this room extends outside of the home as defined by the front door.
Toilets: The article correctly points out that toilets only relatively recently made their way indoors. It is widely believed in Feng Shui that toilets will suck the Feng Shui energy, or Chi, right out of your home. Getting rid of the toilet just isn’t practical in modern society, but make sure not to have them in dangerous places and use some tricks to slow the drain.

Feng Shui a Boon to Workplace Productivity
Here is another interesting article from Australia’s DesignBuild Source, this time on how Feng Shui is becoming a more common practice for increasing workplace productivity.
When I provide Feng Shui consultations to businesses, it is amazing to see that much of the “magic” of Feng Shui is just a set of common-sense principles that happen to provide natural stress relief for employees. For instance:
- Desks: Be sure to face desks so that the employee can see the doorway. They should never feel as if they have people sneaking up on them.
- Clutter: Make sure that the work environment is clutter-free. Stacks of paperwork can cause considerable stress in the workplace, as it makes employees feel that they are in a reactive organization rather than a proactive one.
- Artwork: Incorporate artwork that not only matches with the Bagua, but also matches the vision for the company. Competing imagery will only confuse and stress employees.

China Officials Seek Career Shortcut With Feng Shui
Per the New York Times, Chinese government officials are using Feng Shui to move past recent corruption problems that have plagued the land bureau.
What did they do? To counteract a pair of stone lions that had been protecting the China Tobacco building across the street from their offices, the land bureau simply used a stone wall to block the harmful energy.

Use Feng Shui to Travel More (or Less)
Do you want to travel more? Alternatively, are you sick of being on the road and want to stay home little bit more?
Where Are You Headed?
Look around your front door. Is there a picture of you facing the door or is your picture hanging outside the door line (draw a rectangle of your floor plan with the front door being the front edge of the rectangle)?
These situations represent you leaving the house a lot or being outside the house all the time.
Where to Go?
If you would like to travel more, you can boost up your Helpful People & Travel corner with the pictures or objects representing the places to which you would like to travel. You could also add a picture of yourself (and family) by the front door.
Make sure you don’t just leave your children’s pictures by the door, as you don’t want them leaving the house all the time (or maybe you do want them to leave!).
