How to Add Personal Taste & Preference To Your Feng Shui Practice

Many students and feng shui practitioners ask me how they can incorporate their personal
tastes and likes into the decoration and furniture arrangement of their homes, and still meet the correct feng shui guidelines to maximize the benefits that bring good fortune and luck.

Make it your own!

Personal Creativity & Taste: Your individual creativity and priorities must be factored into any room design to achieve maximum results. Otherwise, no matter how “perfect” the room, you will never be happy or satisfied when you are in that room. The first thing I always tell people is listen to yourself. Please don’t use any paint colour, furniture design or art that doesn’t appeal to you. Respect your inner voice and you will find your personal chi or energy blending nicely with the decoration and arrangement of the rooms in your home.

Actualizing Good Luck: Unless you have positive interaction with all the objects that you place inside your home, the will not have as much power to actualize good luck for you. Just imagine that you hate the colour pink, yet you have been advised this is the best one to use in a particular sector in order to attract love into your life. My recommendation is not to use it, because your dislike of the colour is related to your own auric field at some subconscious level. Respect your intuition and feelings in this regard.

Change your look!

Our Tastes are Always Changing: As you age, your taste and preferences for colours, furniture and decorative objects will also change. You may want to move from a more minimalistic, modern look to a cozier, homey feel. No problem! Do take time to rearrange your room and furniture and activate specific corners as often as you like. However, keep in mind the annual and monthly flying stars. Annual cures must remain in place throughout the year and not be moved around.

Personally, I love to rearrange things in the house and nothing makes me happier than knowing I have revitalized my rooms. Not only does this create the beneficial movement of chi but it ensures the energy of my home never gets tired – so my life never stagnates!

Feng shui is all about the science of enhancing your personal space, so do pay attention to your inner voice and make your space your own.
