Using the basic informantion about Fung Shui. Learn to activate area's in your home.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Most likely you have most of the items needed in your home.
  1. Step 1

    To start with the nine sector can be used on a home or apartment.
    I used it in each room. I stand with it in my hand facing inside the room so I know where each section would be.

  2. Step 2

    By using the basic information given in the other Article ehow to Feng Shui. One could activate a area. Heads up only activate one area at a time. Activate and then wait a week to activate another area. Keep in mind you can activate any of these sections in any room you want.

  3. Step 3

    Say you wanted to start with Wealth (thats my favorite one).
    You would look at the far left corner of the room. What does it look like?
    Is there odd items cramed into the corner or do you have a dresser there?
    First I like to clean the area. If I have a large item there like a dresser I just make sure I clean good underneath it and the top of it.
    Then I take a look at what Items would help with Wealth section.
    Plants are good cause they mean growth and they are green.
    A dish with sliver coins in it.
    Make sure the room is well lit. (can't stress how important light is to postive chi and natural like is even better.
    So to make it even more simple what we are looking for are things that might mean growth. Items that are green or sliver or gold.

  4. Step 4

    Now lets go to Fame. This is a good place to put up trophies and awards.
    Great place for a aquarium one that oxygen aerating in it.
    Say you want to be famous. you would want to display photos of yourself with people who are well known.

  5. Step 5

    Marriage is on the list next. This area includes close relationships.
    Did I mention light is good? You could put up items that relate to you and the person you are in a relationship with.
    Say you want to attract someone you could use anything that reminds you of love and make sure your bed in not against the wall. It has to be where you can get to both sides. Warm colors like pink or red.
    I could go on and on but I think you might get the picture at this point.

  6. Step 6

    Family area means your immediate family.
    This is a good place to put family photos and items given to you by other family members.
    This is also the healt area.
    This are is good for picture of rivers or waterfalls.
    Did I say anything at all about having the area well lit?

  7. Step 7

    Center is the good luck area.
    This is a great place to people to get together. Great if your dinning room or living room is in this spot if not have your family do huddles.
    Great time for story time for the young ones and for the older ones board games or cards.

  8. Step 8

    Children are also a area.
    If your having problems with a child this is a good area to activate.
    This is a good place also for family photos and items that family members have made.
    Trophies or awards from school can be displayed here.
    If you want children.
    Increase the light, display anything that reminds you of a family life.

  9. Step 9

    Knowledge is next we are almost done guys.
    This is a good area for learning hence the name "Knowledge".
    Great place to put books or make it a reading area or study area.

  10. Step 10

    Career area. Good place to put anything that reminds you of work or the career you want. This is also a good area to acually work your career in. If possible, if not then just use it as a reminder of where you want to go in your career.

  11. Step 11
    Travel photos
     
    Travel photos

    Mentors and travel one of my other favorites.
    To start with this area helps bring people into your life that you might need or want to learn from.
    For travel put up pictures of the places you want to go. If you have objects from the place you wish to visit this is where you would want to display them.

Tips & Warnings
  • remember you should only activate one area at a time.
  • You can use this in each room except the bathroom.
  • The cure for the Bathroom is what is mentioned in the Article how to Feng shui. This does not mean you don't clean the bathroom. In fact it is one of the rooms that need the cleaning the most. You can put candles in the bathroom counting how big your bathroom is determines what you can do with it. This looks like another article in the making.
  • There is still so much more to Feng Shui then this.
