The bathroom is one of the first rooms we see in the morning and one of the last before we go to sleep. This space, because it welcomes and ends our day, should be comforting and a place where we can either rejuvenate or unwind. For these reasons, the bathroom is a room in the home where some good feng shui tips to lift the positive energy or chi of the room can greatly benefit our wellbeing.
Sheila Wright, PSYCH-K facilitator and a feng shui and energy balancing specialist, says, "Feng Shui...is the ancient art of...knowing where and how to place yourself and the objects in your environment in a manner that will enable you to receive the optimum benefit from your surroundings."
Specifically, she recommends the following to lift the chi in our bathrooms: "In order to keep good chi from draining out of the home, keep all toilet seats down. Keep the bathroom door shut all the time. If you have a master bathroom that does not have a door, create one using a curtain. Purchase a spring rod and a curtain that will coordinate with your bedroom. During the day you can keep it open with a little pullback tie. At night, just close it so that there is separation between you and the bathroom."
Wright also recommends Fengshui.co.uk as one of the best feng shui resources on the web. According to this website, we should also keep all plumbing fixtures spotlessly clean and working well. When sinks or toilets leak or drip, we may be encouraged to waste our money; noisy plumbing can disturb our chi on a subliminal level. The website also recommends the following:
1. Choose bathroom colors that include light greys, creams and pale blues. Think neutral, calming tones.
2. Make sure all the light fixtures work and that the area is lit well.
3. Have some form of ventilation in the bathroom. A window is always helpful.
4. When purchasing a mirror for the bathroom, remember that we use the bathroom to get ready for our day. So, choose a large mirror without any cracks or fissures. Also, do not choose a mirror that is split in two as it's believed you'll only see half of who you are.
Bathrooms can present problems in a home depending on their location in the house. Remember that the ancients who developed feng shui did not have indoor plumbing or bathrooms in their homes.
Depending on where a bathroom is positioned in a home, it could affect the chi of that particular area of the house. For example, a bathroom in the middle of the home, perhaps underneath a stairwell, will flush positive chi out of the spiritual center of the home. Or if the bathroom is located in the Marriage or Career sector of the home, a relationship may feel tired or money may come and go easily.
Considering that finding the true directions of a home may be challenging for beginners or non-practitioners, it's best to partner with a professional feng shui practitioner who can find the directions of your home and give you additional suggestions for how to lift the chi of your bathroom so it won't drain all the chi from your home.
