Feng shui can be used for many different things. For example, external environment surrounding homes and offices, planning interior space, designing, etc.

Making your house have “good” Chi:
* Have bright lights to lift energy.
* Place water in the southwest area of your home.
* Metallic wind-chimes in the northwest for luck.
* Put dragons or potted plants in the east to bring wealth.
* Have a pair of phoenixes, or a pair of Mandarin ducks to bring success.

What not to do:
* Never have your door facing your bed.
* Don’t have bright lights in either the southeast or northeast areas.
* Don’t have metallic objects or water in the northwest.
* Don’t have water in the west.
* Don’t have too many earth elements in the south.
