Feng Shui For Your Most Important Section ‘Kitchen’

While you are thinking to renovate or redecorate your bedroom or living room, do you ever renovate your kitchen? Maybe not because we think that the kitchen is not as important as other rooms in the house. But Kitchen is the third most important room after the living room and bedroom; this is why because it is the place where so many energies come together at the same time.

Feng Shui is all about controlling and harmonizing the flow of good and bad energy in the house, every room, and the section of the house. The kitchen plays a very important role in residential Feng Shui. As every room is important in your house the kitchen is also as important as others.

It is said if someone had great food in the morning at their house then their whole day also spends well too. Then why don’t’ we thought about the room where the food is being prepared? To make your kitchen harmonizing and positive you can apply Feng Shui in it.

Don’t just assume it as a cooking room but make it as important as your other rooms. If you talk about the energies and five natural elements, we will find that the kitchen is the only place where 4 natural elements are present at the same time. If these four elements work together then it may give positive as well as negative effects.

The four natural elements which are present in the kitchen are - Fire, Water, Air, and Space. If these natural elements come together at the same place then it becomes very important to handle the flow of energy these elements create in your home. You should not ignore to control the energy flow of your kitchen.

It doesn’t matter how small or big your kitchen area is in the room is but is important to maintain the flow of energy at that place also.  You can manage the flow with the help of the right directions. Direction plays a very important role in Feng Shui which will help you to maintain the right flow of energy in your house as well as in the kitchen.

Feng Shui-

Feng Shui is the Chinese art of architecture which helps us to balance the flow of positive and negative energy entering our house and help to make our house more harmonizing and peaceful. Here Feng means wind and Shui means Water. The experts of Feng Shui use the wind and water to discover the location and influence the energies. It not only balances the energy in and around the house but it also draws upon to decide when and where to build a home, a community or an entire city. But most people use this art at their home to make it more peaceful and positive with the present energies.

In the principles of Feng Shui, the kitchen represents warmth and wealth. Locating the kitchen within the house and the internal arrangement of the kitchen which includes the stove location, washbasin, refrigerator or electricity extension is very important in designing a house by Feng Shui.

Here we are going to share some Feng Shui tips to you for the kitchen, which will surely create a huge difference in your kitchen and life.

•               A kitchen should not be placed in the north; this is because both the important elements are placed in the kitchen that is fire and water so to avoid serious accidents in the house. So, the ideal place to build your kitchen in the south direction.

•               The placement of the kitchen very close to the entrance or straight ahead to the entrance will deviate the people toward gourmet. This will lead to unwanted guests which can consequently raise your bill unnecessarily.

•               Do not locate your kitchen in extended wings of the U and L shaped building. This will make the family member eat out most of the time, which can later break the unity in the house.

•               Bathroom facing kitchen will lead to loss of assets. So, try to keep away your kitchen from the bathroom. Health will also suffer. You can put a shield of ceramic beads placed ahead of the bathroom door to shield it off.

•               Do not place the gas stove and the washbasin or water area together as they both are the natural element that is opposite to each other that is water and fire so if you will place them together, they can create misery in the house as well as accidents in the kitchen.

•               The refrigerator also represents water and must be treated as the water body. Containers holding drinking water should be away from the gas stove. 

•               Cutlery should not be stored in the dead areas arising out of odd-shaped kitchens as they could be influenced by negative energy. This will cause serious problems in the house.

•               Keep your kitchen entrance in that position where it will not show your gas stove.

•               If there are any broken or damaged things in your kitchen then you should throw it away as soon as possible because they are blocking the positive flow of energy in the house.

•               You can also place a mirror behind the gas stove to revert back the negative energy coming directly in the kitchen.
