Feng Shui Bathrooms



Feng Shui when literally translated from Chinese to English means wind and water. Referred in Feng Shui practice as an element, ‘water’ comprises around 2/3 part of the earth. It also comprises 2/3 part of our body. So there is no doubt about the fact that it has a great influence on our lives. At anytime, there are millions of particles and energy waves passing through our bodies without us noticing them. Water and wind have tremendous energy and the traditional wisdom of Feng Shui tells us how to use this energy to enhance our immediate surroundings (our home, office and other living spaces) for improved efficiency, optimal health, better relationships, increased prosperity and overall well-being. 



As most of the Feng Shui practices have strong scientific basis, there are two important rules of thumb that you need to remember when deciding the location of a bathroom. First you need to know that , the bathroom and toilet are primarily governed by and driven by the element Water. In Feng Shui, Water is associated with wealth, prosperity, career and good cash flow. Secondly, you should keep in mind that bathrooms are associated with elimination and waste. With these two considerations in mind, it is easier to understand the main rules that apply to the layout and location of this space.

Without a clearly marked out space in Feng Shui bagua, the bathroom is a little out of place anywhere, but thanks to the time tested Feng Shui wisdom, you can easily identify problems with your bathroom (cash flow blockages, drained finances, etc.) that are detrimental to your wealth (it can block your cash flow, drain your finances, and add to your financial stress). Although some of locations are more troublesome than others, one of the best Feng Shui tips to keep in mind here is that a defective bathroom plumbing has a draining effect wherever it is located.
