It is located below the navel; two inches in, above the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis.

• Hang Orange Faceted crystals: Crystals are very beautiful as decorations in a bright window. They can catch the sun and cast beautiful rainbow colors into your space as the sunlight is refracted through the facets.  In Feng Shui, it is also very important to hang them using a red cord (Red represents protection). It's even better if the cord can be a length that's equal to a multiple of nine, for example: nine inches, 18 inches, 27 inches, etc..

The main entrance of a home is more than just a way to enter the house. It is believed to be the gateway to success and advancement in life. Feng shui considers the main entrance to be one of the key areas of a home, often referred to as the "mouth of qi" in Classical Chinese philosophy, representing the flow of life force.

 

How to check the Feng Shui direction of my front door?

The facing direction of your front door can be found by standing at the entrance of your home or space and looking outside, and then, with the help of a compass, finding out where it points. Do the process at least 3 or 4 times to get the correct idea. 

Feng Shui means Wind and Water – a reference to the Yin and Yang elements of the Universal Life Force – also called Qi, Chi, Prana. When this force is healthy and life bringing (positive energy). It drifts and wanders, flowing easily and bringing the breath of life.  When this force becomes unhealthy (negative energy) it is either blocked and becomes stagnant or becomes destructive.

 

How Can I Use Crystals in Feng Shui? 

Crystals and Gemstones amplify Feng Shui; Crystals themselves are powerhouses full of energy! They store energy, and move chi or energy through space or a person.

Crystal healers typically place their crystals on body chakras to influence the body and heal sickness.  Placing crystals in specific locations in your home can have much of the same effects but on a broader plane.

Placed in the correct location will keep the Universal Life Force (Qi, Chi, Prana) energy flowing and balanced, so that we may experience happiness, contentment and prosper.

 

What are Elements?

In Feng Shui, the Universal Life Force (Qi, Chi, Prana) has five elemental components – Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood. These elements form a continuum of creation and destruction. Each element enhances one element and reduced another. Crystals can be used to enhance and reduce the elements of energy to allow the right energy in the right part of your space.

These Five Elements of Feng Shui (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood) “feed” and support the next, for example, Fire makes Earth.  We know this to be true as we see the ash when the fire cools.  Earth, when pressed down, makes Metal.  Metal, when molded, holds Water.  And, Water, is essential for plant growth, or Wood.  What feeds a fire?  Wood, of course; and the circle is complete.  Just as the elements can support each other, they can also be used to control each other when one element overwhelms. 

 

What are the benefits of using Crystals in feng shui?

According to feng shui experts, proper balance of the five elements and harmonizing the Qi in your home can bring numerous benefits such as:

• Attract wealth
• Find love
• Keep your relationship stable
• Achieve career success
• Improve your health
• Increase your vitality
• Guard against misfortune
