Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Read 80 Design a New Home With Feng Shui to learn basic feng shui concepts.
Step2
Create a flowing path for chi within your home. Your front door should open inward, and the entry area should be free of clutter. Make sure that all doors can open fully, that corridors are not blocked, and that your possessions are not stored on the floor.
Step3
Eliminate clutter and other negative influences (see 37 Conquer Clutter). If an object makes you feel sad, angry or resentful, get rid of it.
Step4
Patch and paint your walls, doors and other surfaces. Removing imperfections makes chi flow more smoothly in your home.
Step5
Fine-tune the energy in each room by using a combination of five elements: metal (to aid concentration), water (communication), wood (starting new things), fire (passion and intensity) and earth (stability and commitment). The precise combination of elements depends on what each room needs; consult a feng shui book or practitioner for specific advice.
Step6
Regularly open windows and doors to improve air circulation and energy flow.
