Feng Shui and Household Repairs (The Domestic Pagan)

I recently have been doing some repairs in my home and still have more to tackle.

Feng Shui, which literally translates to “Wind and Water,” is the ancient Chinese art of placement. It is based on the understanding of the flow of energy (Ch’i) throughout ones inner and outer life (similar to the Hermatic principle of “as within, so without”). The tradition of Feng Shui believes the way a home is decorated and designed affects the lives of the people living in it. Feng Shui can be applied to your home, apartment, or office.

Feng Shui and Needed Home Repairs

Conditions like cracks, holes, peeling wallpaper, or chipped paint, even dead plants represent negative or stagnant forces in your life since they block the flow of positive energy around you. Leaks can result in a drain on your finances, since in Feng Shui water represents abundance.
