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.

BED ROOM CONCEPT

Bedroom is a place where you spend 1/3 of your time so having proper balance of yin and yang is very essential, some yang energy is essential, because it helps you stay motivated get going with your day-to-day chores but too much yang on the other hand can drive you nuts! It can make you feel chaotic, frenzied and over-stimulated. It can make you feel too passionate, so that you can never just sit back and relax in your bed room.

A command position for your bed room in Feng Shui (Feng Shui is a process that affects your internal landscape just as much as it affects your physical environment. In order for your spirit to be nourished by the enhancements you make to your home, you must start the entire process by looking inward, and this is an important Feng Shui tip that most Feng Shui consultants like me would offer to all Feng Shui beginners. This in fact is the essence of The Spiritual Feng Shui^TM which looks at the Feng Shui at a higher level than the other types of Feng Shui which mostly aim at improving at a niche level; be it your office, home or bedroom.) means that you face the door from the far side of the room but are not directly in front of the door. The part of the room diagonally farthest from the entry offers the best Command Position for your bed, it is this position, you are able to benefit from the Chi that enters and flows through the space, while being far enough removed from the doorway that you are not exposed to Chi that is too strong.

Another Feng Shui bed room tip is that you keep your bed in a position that provides a solid wall behind you for support. Using this position puts you in visual command of the space, and allows you to face life directly, both literally and symbolically.

Sleeping in line with the door also exposes you to excessive Chi, which can contribute to stress, irritability and health problems, but keeping your bed in commanding position prevents you from negative influences and puts you in control of your space and of your life.

Vastu

Vaastu is an ancient Indian science that works on the principle of Panchbhootas, a term referring to the five basic elements of the universe: Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. Vaastu is a science that attempts to achieve a synergy across all the five elements in such a way that the abode becomes favourable to its inhabitants.

The optimum use of Vaastu concepts can help one achieve an atmosphere at home that is physically comfortable, emotional soothing and intellectually vibrant.

We have compiled a few Vaastu tips that you can use to enhance the positive effect of elements in various rooms of your home.

East is the most auspicious direction for entrance to a house.
The slope of the property should be from west to east or south to north.
Shadow of a tree should never fall on the house.
The north direction represents prosperity, and should never be blocked.
Cactus plant should never be grown in the house.
All doors should open towards inside.
Door hinges should be noiseless.
Columns in a building must be placed in even numbers in any construction.

With the help of Vaastu, one can find out the most appropriate directions for the various components of a typical household. The objective of Vaastu is to achieve a perfect sense of balance between humans and nature.

Vaastu is a precious compilation of concepts and ideas that consider the affects on human life and dwellings of various natural phenomena such as:

Earth's gravitational force
Sun's heat, light and infra-red radiation
Volume and intensity of rainfall
Direction and velocity of wind

The main bedroom should be constructed in the south-west direction.
The bed should never be placed below a beam.
Square and rectangle shape bedrooms are perfect for ensuring peace and prosperity.
Avoid hanging pictures that depict violence or sorrow.
Any reflective surfaces such as mirrors and televisions should be covered at night while sleeping.
Sleep with your head towards South.
Minimise clutter in your room as clutter represents the unfinished tasks of your life.

The north direction is ideal for the construction of living room.
Vaastu advises against the use of paintings which depict negative aspects of life.
Air-conditioners should be in the west and not in the southeast section.
Southern and western corners of the room are perfect for placing the furniture.
Dining tables must have even-numbered chairs.

Kids' room should be constructed in the northwest corner of the house.
The colour scheme should be mild.
Don't place the furniture sticking to the wall, as it obstructs the flow of positive energy.
The study desk should be placed in such a manner that the child faces eastern, northern or north-eastern corner while studying.
The computer should be placed in the southwest corner.

The ideal location of the kitchen is the southeast corner of the house, with northwest being the second best option.
Cooking activity should be done while facing east, as it's an auspicious direction. The other option is north direction.
Electrical items such as microwaves, juicers and mixers should be placed in the southeast corner of the kitchen.
The refrigerator should be in the northwest, southeast, south or west.
The kitchen must have adequate provision for cross-ventilation.

Constructing a New Home

There are hundreds of steps involved both prior to and during construction. I will address the major work stages and try to provide details that are commonly overlooked leading to delays and extra expense. It is critical in building a new home to have an experienced contractor with the proper systems and procedures to ensure that your new home is built on budget and meets your expectations. There is an old real estate saying "The three most important things in real estate are Location, Location, and Location".

This holds true for selecting a building site for your new home, however there are an abundance of other factors that are equally important to location. You will need to do your research before buying that perfect piece of property. Many homeowners want a view of the mountains or the ski slopes, remember when considering location do not focus only on the view. Find out the easiest way to the nearest store or the post office. Consider driving distances to the places you visit most frequently. Take your time horizon into consideration, is this a home you will retire in? do you plan to have kids while living in this house?, if so, are schools readably accessible, and how do the children get to school? All of these questions will bring to mind additional questions that should be answered prior to determining a location and purchasing a lot.

Then, Know the Market, Know your Finance
