They read a book or two, take bits and pieces from the various schools of Feng Shui, and mix it all together in their homes.\n\nHowever, the bits of information really made no desirable shifts in their lives. As a result, they’ve now called a true<\/em> Feng Shui professional (a.k.a. you) to help fix the problems.\n\nBelow, I’ve broken down 9 of the most common mistakes you’ll likely see clients making in their homes.

9 Feng Shui Mistakes to Avoid in 2021<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

1. Having your back facing the door.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Whether it’s the dining room table, a small writing desk, or a home office – always place the furniture so that it faces toward<\/em> the entrance. In Feng Shui design, this is because by\u00a0not\u00a0<\/em>doing so, you could potentially be surprised by unexpected (or unwanted) events. Moreover, placing furniture this way will not allow good Ch\u2019i energy<\/a> to naturally flow towards you.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

2. Wrong bed placement.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Your client should NEVER allow their feet to face straight toward the door. This sleep direction is considered the \u201cDeath Position<\/a>\u201d and welcomes bad energy. Always have a solid wall behind the bed. This will give your client stability in life. If this isn’t possible, they should at least have a solid headboard in order to stabilize Ch\u2019i.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

3. Painting your bedroom in crazy colors.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]The bedroom is a place to rest. It’s mainly Yin energy, meant to encourage rest and rejuvenation. To ensure a good night\u2019s sleep, a calm and relaxed wall paint should be chosen. There are a lot of rooms in your client’s home where they can express their creativity with color. But for the bedroom, advise them to stick to pastels and soft tones. These colors will allow the brain to recharge<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”23188″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

4. Changing your design style to an Asian look.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]It\u2019s a common misconception that Feng Shui design must<\/em> incorporate Asian decorations. This is a false notion. Your client should not transform their home into a stereotypical Chinese gift shop and call it ‘Feng Shui’! Not only can this be considered offensive – it simply won’t achieve what they’re hoping to achieve.\n\nThe truth is, Feng Shui elements can be applied to any home, regardless of the culture or design style. It’s not necessary to have Chinese Luck Symbols placed all over the home. There are endless options to balance Ch\u2019i in a space. Therefore, encourage your client to only incorporate items that they love and serve a purpose they can recognize.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

5. Dried, dying, or sick flowers and plants.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]According to Feng Shui, living green plants<\/a> and fresh flowers bring positive Ch\u2019i into a home. However, this does NOT apply to flowers and plants that are dead, dying, or in poor health. This also includes natural elements that are preserved or dried.\n\nThis is because they are no longer living. As such, they do not offer replenishing life energy. If a plant is sick, do your best to heal it. That being said, sick plants indicate ill health for the inhabitants of the home.\n\nOften times, people have preserved flowers that are quite meaningful to them, such as a dried wedding bouquet. This is okay to have as it is precious to you. But it is not something you would use for balancing energy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

6. Storage under the bed.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]While it often seems like a smart storage option, it’s not good Feng Shui to have storage underneath a bed. This applies to storage boxes, loose storage, beds with built-in storage (such as drawers), and so on.\n\nYour client spends many hours sleeping over all of this stuff. Clutter underneath their bed disrupts the natural flow of Ch\u2019i around them while their body is recharging. In Feng Shui design, the goal is to have energy flow easily around them while they’re sleeping.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”23189″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

7. Blocked doorways.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Your client should avoid placing anything behind a door that prevents<\/em> that door from opening to at least 90 degrees. It doesn’t matter if they have their items nicely organized and without clutter<\/a>. If the door can\u2019t open at least 90 degrees, it\u2019s not good Feng Shui.\n\nBut why is this? In a nutshell, any area of your client’s home that has a block is symbolically blocking some aspects of their life. There is always a correlation between a person and their home. If it’s difficult to easily walk throughout the doorways in a home, your client is directly creating bad energy. This bad energy will then disrupt the nature flow of good<\/em> energy – as well as positive opportunities that will come to them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

8. Feng Shui cures in ALL areas.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Those who do not properly understand Feng Shui design will often try to do too much, too soon. Attempting to immediately correct every<\/em> recognized issue in every<\/em> Bagua area<\/a> is overwhelming. Not to mention, it’s counterproductive.\n\nIf your client has to force the changes in a space, then they’re working against the basic principles of Feng Shui. Instead, recommend that they start off with 3-5 major issues in the home first. They should then allow the energy to settle in these areas before moving on. This way, they can properly evaluate how they respond to those initial changes.\n\nThink of the changes you make to a client\u2019s home as one would when starting a strict diet. You can take every \u201cbad\u201d food away, all at once. But without transitioning and changing bad eating habits gradually<\/em>, you are less likely to succeed at your goal in the long run. Studies have proven that this approach makes it more likely to fall off the wagon, so to say.\n\nSimilarly, the same is true for our Feng Shui clients. Coming in and doing a complete overhaul might seem<\/em> like the easy answer. But this would be extremely difficult for most people. Your clients have their own logic as to why certain items are placed in specific areas in their home. If you came in and moved everything, without asking why these items are in their current location, the client will probably become frustrated. After some time, they’ll probably change everything back to its original location.\n\nRemember: Feng Shui design is a marathon, not a sprint! We shift first and then assess and shift again as needed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”23191″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

9. Applying someone else’s Feng Shui design to your own home.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]I’ve seen many clients change their house because they heard from a friend that their Feng Shui Consultant told them<\/em> to do specific things. But Feng Shui is not a one-size-fits-all system! What’s good for one home might not necessarily be good for another.\n\nRemember: Feng Shui is a very specialized design style. For starters, it incorporates the floorplan<\/a> of a specific home. Furthermore, it also takes into consideration the individualized life of the person it supports. Each person has specific intentions and goals they intend to achieve by applying Feng Shui Design. This is as individualized as a fingerprint!\n\nSo, make sure to tell your client that they should\u00a0never<\/em> apply someone else\u2019s advice to their own unique situation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n
