Kitchen Feng Shui
The
Chinese believe malevolent spirits come from the North and so Good Feng Shui
dictates that your Kitchen should NOT face this direction as it may increase
the chance of mishaps. The use of crystals or Windchimes hanging from
windows or doorways facing this direction is an effective cure.
The kitchen sink represents water and your stove represents fire. Ideally
these two elements should not be side-by-side. The stove should be
positioned so as to avoid the cook standing with their back to a doorway. A
mirror or any highly reflective kitchen appliance placed above the stove
will counteract this problem by providing reflection so that the cook can
not be taken by surprise. Good lighting and ventilation by the stove will
reduce the influence of Sha.
White is the preferred colour for kitchens. It symbolises purity and
therefore promotes good health from well prepared (pure) food. Cutlery
should not be stored in a stagnant area as the negative influence on sharp
object will serve to cut your health. Place them in a drawer nearest to the
doorway or window.
A toilet next to a kitchen produces Sha (negative energy). Keeping the door
closed and the toilet lid down will help as will the placement of a Bagwa on
the toilet door.
