In Classical Feng Shui, much emphasis is placed on ensuring an abundance of fresh energy flows through the home. However, there are decorating mistakes that can negatively affect this energy flow, ultimately reducing the effectiveness of Feng Shui. In this post, I’ll show you five things you can do to enhance the flow of positive energy into your home.
The Importance of Natural Light and Fresh Energy
Natural light and fresh energy play a significant role in Classical Feng Shui. They are ready to empower and serve us, having a positive effect on our mood and overall health. Yet, in many homes, I often notice that the curtains or blinds are kept closed therefore, hindering the flow of positive energy into the home.
Why Curtains and Blinds Stay Closed
I understand that sometimes curtains and blinds remain closed due to neighbouring homes being too close or because many rooms in our homes, such as formal living rooms, dining rooms, guest bedrooms, or basements, are not frequently used. While this might seem practical, it blocks the beneficial energy that Feng Shui aims to harness.
Five Tips to Enhance the Energy Flow through your Windows
While opening your curtains or blinds is a good start, here are five additional steps to ensure energy flows freely into your home based on the principles of Classical Feng Shui:
Choose the Right Window Coverings Select window covering styles, materials, colours, and designs that not only serve the window type best but also reflect your personal preferences.
Ease of Use Ensure that your window shades or curtains are easy to open and close. Struggling with them is a sign of negative energy. If privacy is an issue, opt for sheer drapes or blinds that create a filter while still allowing natural light to enter.
Keep Windows Clean Maintain clean windows and glass doors, and ensure the view outside is pleasant. Remove any clutter or unused items from your backyard or the side of the house.
Morning Ritual Make it a daily ritual to open your blinds and window coverings each morning with the intention of inviting in positive energy. This simple act sets the tone for the day and provides an opportunity to connect with the universe and express gratitude for the blessings and the gift of another day.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your window coverings do not block positive energy from entering and flowing through your home. Embracing these Feng Shui principles will help you create a more harmonious and energized living environment. What can you do today to enhance the energy flow in your home? Try these simple steps and feel the difference!
Implement these strategies and witness how the power of Classical Feng Shui transforms your living space into a sanctuary of positive energy and well-being.

Here’s a glimpse into what it looks like to work with me, Meena, a Classical Feng Shui Master. Let’s dive into the process of unlocking the power of Feng Shui in your life.
The Discovery Call
Our journey together begins with a complimentary discovery call. This initial conversation is all about understanding your awareness and experiences of Feng Shui. I ask you to share any concerns or specific issues that led you to seek out my services. This helps me tailor my approach to your unique needs.
During this call, I also provide an overview of Classical Feng Shui, explaining its origins in China over 5,000 years ago and its precise application to homes and businesses. Factors such as the compass degree of energy entry, the year the roof was constructed, and the home’s square footage are all taken into account to create a personalized Feng Shui analysis.
My Unique Approach
I believe in combining spirituality and intention setting with Classical Feng Shui. My advanced certification from China sets me apart from other Consultants, and I share my personal experiences to illustrate how this integration can enhance your Feng Shui experience.
Understanding Your Unique Needs
Classical Feng Shui offers remedies for almost everything, tailored to your specific situation. After our discovery call, when you’re ready to book a consultation, you can choose between an in-person or virtual session. Regardless of the format, I will send you a detailed online questionnaire. This questionnaire covers all nine life areas in Feng Shui, including Love and Relationships, Health, Wealth, Career, and more. Your responses will provide deeper insights into your needs and goals.
Behind the Scenes: The Analysis
The magic continues behind the scenes in my office. Using my Feng Shui compass, your completed questionnaire, and the floor plan of your home, I conduct a thorough analysis. This meticulous study forms the basis for the remedies and recommendations I will provide.
Delivery and Implementation
When the analysis is complete, it’s time for the delivery of your personalized Feng Shui plan. If you opt for an in-person consultation, I arrive with a binder containing a colour-coded floor plan of your home, marked with remedies for each of the nine life areas. We review everything on paper before conducting a walk-through of your entire space, including outdoor areas, the garage, and the basement. I offer recommendations on where to place the remedies and suggest adjustments to enhance the flow of positive chi energy. This can include changes to sharp objects, furniture placement, colours, artwork, room layout, and more based on your current décor and belongings.
For virtual consultations, the process is just as thorough. We conduct the review over Zoom, and many of my virtual clients have noted that I seem to know their home better than they do!
Transformation and Beyond
And now the real fun begins! My mission is to shift the energy in spaces, one home at a time. It’s my honour to guide you through this transformative process. I look forward to helping you harness the power of Classical Feng Shui to create a harmonious and prosperous environment.
Classical Feng Shui is more than just an ancient practice; it’s a pathway to transforming your life and home. By working with me, you’ll embark on a journey of discovery, analysis, and implementation that brings positive energy and harmony to your space. Whether you choose an in-person or virtual consultation, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life through the power of Feng Shui.

There are many ways to prosper with Feng Shui and we often turn to this ancient practice to achieve success in Business, Relationships and Health. In my blog this month, I want to talk about 8 Feng Shui tips for better sleep. These simple recommendations can help you achieve more restful and restorative sleep while also promoting balance, harmony, and prosperity in your life.
Choosing your Headboard
Security, support, and grounding are all Feng Shui elements that the right headboard can provide. Choosing a Feng Shui headboard helps to Manifest the right Energy while you’re sleeping. I always recommend a solid wood headboard with smooth edges rather than sharp and pointy. Sharp surfaces can direct negative Chi toward you while you sleep. Avoid a Metal headboard for its heavy and piercing Energy and avoid Glass for its fragile Energy.
Feng Shui Bed Position
One of the most important Feng Shui principles for better sleep is having your bed in the “command position.” This means your bed is in a position where you can see your door but not directly in line with Chi coming through the door. The Feng Shui command position enhances Positive Energy and promotes success. I recommend positioning the bed centered on a solid wall and never tucked in a corner.
Embrace Restfulness
To implement Feng Shui for better sleep, you must embrace your bedroom as a space for rest. TV’s are for an entertainment space, desks belong in an office, and treadmills should be found in a dedicated exercise space. You can create a Feng Shui Intention for sleep by eliminating distractions in your bedroom.
Choosing your Colours
Bedroom colours can have a powerful impact on your sleep. Feng Shui colours for bedrooms are always calming colours. Soft, natural colours such as off-white, light brown, or clay yellow for bed sheets promote grounding Energy and peaceful sleep. Bright colours can be too stimulating. In considering my own bedroom Feng Shui, I avoid reds that can bring up intense fiery Energy or blues that can stimulate waves of emotional Energy.
Harnessing Feng Shui Crystals
Amethyst is a powerful Feng Shui Crystal known for its soothing Energy. Amethyst brings peace to your mind and is a great choice addition to your bedroom for a harmonious sleep. To ease restlessness, I recommend placing Amethyst on your nightstand; or for deeper and more energizing sleep, you can place a small Amethyst under your pillow.
Avoid Mirrors
Feng Shui bedroom mirrors can reflect Energy around the bedroom while you’re sleeping, creating restlessness and even worry. In Classical Feng Shui, we do not endorse mirrors in the bedroom where you can either see yourself when in bed or get in and out of the bed. If you’re having difficulty sleeping or wake up tired, I recommend reconsidering mirrors in your bedroom altogether or keeping them covered while sleeping. While Feng Shui mirrors can be associated with luck and prosperity, they can create clashing and conflicting Energy in the bedroom.
Maintaining Positive Chi
One valuable Feng Shui principle for better sleep that helps you to keep the positive Chi from escaping your bedroom…If you have an ensuite bathroom or there is a bathroom near your bedroom, it’s always a good Feng Shui practice to keep the toilet seat down and the door closed so that Chi doesn’t escape down your drains.
Feng Shui Plants for a good night’s Sleep
The topic of Feng Shui plants for the bedroom is a debated topic among Feng Shui experts. In my experience, plants are always a welcome addition to your Home and your bedroom when chosen carefully. Snake plants filter indoor air and are one of the few plants that convert carbon dioxide into oxygen at night. Bamboo (one or three stalks) in the bedroom can bring balance and harmony to your life and relationships.
If you have more questions about Feng Shui for better sleep, I provide Residential Feng Shui Consultations to help you transform and optimize the Energy in your Home and your life.
Moving into a newly constructed Home can be an exciting time in life. You’re taking possession of a brand new Home and you have an unparalleled opportunity to make that Home your own. From the earliest design phases to your final move in date, there are some Feng Shui basics for your Home that can help you cultivate powerful, positive energy that ultimately brings you and your family peace and prosperity. Understanding Feng Shui and applying some simple tips can ensure that your Home is not just cozy and comfortable but also promotes free-flowing and energizing Chi. Let’s take a closer look at Feng Shui to move into a new Home.
Whether you are considering exterior paint colours, landscaping, or other design elements, a Feng Shui Home study can be a great place to start. As a Classical Feng Shui Consultant, I can provide a full-scale review of your Home (inside and out) to help you make decisions that invite healing energy into your Home while preventing heavy energy from entering. Some of the key principles of house moving Feng Shui can be easily applied when you have built a new Home because you have total control over your Home’s construction and design. So with that in mind, it is important to consider every detail of construction including landscaping, yard elements, and entryway design.
Easy Feng Shui Landscaping Tips
Plants are an important tool in Feng Shui, so you should not be surprised to learn that landscaping can have a big impact on your new Home Feng Shui. When choosing plants for your yard, I always recommend that you plant small shrubs around your walkway. Be mindful of the “power of 2s” and avoid having a single overwhelming plant or a single-potted plant at your entrance. Create balance and promote Chi flow by pairing plants. Also, a good Feng Shui tip is to plant shrubs that are green year round but be careful not to let them get overgrown and block your entryway or walkway.
Feng Shui Entrance Tips
According to Feng Shui Home design principles, you should carefully consider your walkway and entryway to your Home. For example, it is not suggested to create a straight line to your front door; instead, Feng Shui Home Construction experts recommend a meandering walkway that is clear of clutter or obstacles. Your front door should be easily visible from the street; and according to Feng Shui practice, it is also important that your house numbers are visible so you can easily invite positive energy into your Home to allow it to circulate. Outside lighting is also important and should be balanced so that your entry is clearly illuminated, house numbers are visible, and energy moves easily.
Exterior Home Feng Shui Elements
There are also Feng Shui Home ideas that can guide you when making decisions about the exterior element of your Home. I always recommend that homeowners consult with their Feng Shui expert to determine the ideal colour for their Home or front door. Depending on the direction your house is facing and that of the back of your house, you should choose your exterior element wisely. Grey or white colour represent metal, but there are also colours that reflect the other Feng Shui elements: fire, water, and wood. As an example, if your Feng Shui Consultant recommends the water element then outdoor features of the back, front, and sides of your house should incorporate blue and black colours – this may include colours of the lawn furniture, planters or the colour of the outdoor decor.
Indoor Feng Shui Tips
Finally, there are many ways Feng Shui can help inside your Home as well. In previous blogs, you may have learned that Feng Shui Experts recommend avoiding plants with sharp edges, but these recommendations include décor elements as well. For example, avoid tables and other furniture that have sharp corners as these may pierce the energy in your Home. Use mats in bathrooms, front entrances, and kitchens, but choose mats that represent Feng Shui grounding colours such as off-white, beige, light brown, or clay. When choosing an outdoor mat, avoid made with coir – a hay-like fibre that breaks down over time and can also fracture the qi entering your Home.
Feng Shui for your Home is a great way to create a warm, personal energy that serves you and your family today and for years to come. But, I know there are many factors to consider when moving into a new Home which is why you may want to work with a Classical Feng Shui Master. I have extensive Feng Shui training and I can give you personalized advice on how to prepare your new Home for joy and prosperity. Click here to book a complimentary Discovery Call.
Simple, Feng Shui principles can have a powerful influence on your Home. Taking a mainstream, pop-culture perspective, Feng Shui Home ideas seem like basic, common-sense practices focused on decluttering your Home and getting things more organized. And while these practices are certainly connected to the traditional practice of Feng Shui, there’s so much more to it and to unlocking abundance, health, and unparalleled joy in your life. To that end, I bring you 8 tips for a Feng Shui-friendly Home.
A Feng Shui Entryway
The entry to your Home dictates how energy flows into your Home and subsequently your life. Entryway Feng Shui guides you to carefully consider your front door so you can ensure good Feng Shui in your Home. Remove clutter and keep your entry clear of debris and garbage. Place a welcoming mat at your front door and make sure that you shake it out regularly. Create an inviting and open space that freely allows good energy to enter your Home.
Feng Shui Windows
Clean your windows regularly and open your blinds every morning to ensure that adequate sunlight enters your Home for good Feng Shui. Sunlight brings natural and invigorating energy while also enhancing the vibrancy of colours and objects in your Home. Open your windows too and allow fresh air to revive the energy.
Lighting and Feng Shui
Problem areas in your Home can be remedied with appropriate Feng Shui lighting ideas. Light is fundamental to balanced chi in your Home; and while natural light is always preferred, it is not always available. Lamps are an easy Feng Shui light fixture that can introduce more light into dark rooms and spaces which is especially important in rooms where you participate in more activities. Also, make sure to have a well-lit entryway to your Home and even to the important rooms in your Home. For example, for improved Home Office Feng Shui, you can try wall sconces at the entry on either side of your office door.
Feng Shui Plants
Plants represent life and energy as they allow us to connect to nature from the comfort of our Home. Plants bring good Feng Shui because they refresh energy and bring vitality to any space. Consider plants that can purify the air such as Acreca Palm or Boston Firm. There are also Feng Shui plants that promote wealth and abundance such as Jade or Bonsai Trees. Always avoid spiky plants such as the cactus that bring sharp energy that can actually drain energy from your Home and your body.
Command Position
A fundamental principle of Feng Shui is the command position. Command position determines how you position yourself in your life and the basic principles of command position are applied to your bed, desk, and stove. In Feng Shui, each of these pieces of furniture represents the person and components of their life. You are the bed. Your career is the desk. And the stove represents abundance. When considering Feng Shui in your Home, position your bed, desk, and stove so that you can see the door without being direct across from it. In other words, position these pieces of furniture diagonal to the door to attain the command position so that you can maintain command in your life.
My final tip for a Feng Shui-friendly Home is to incorporate Crystals into your space. Feng Shui Crystal’s placement can be important. For example, hanging Feng Shui Crystals in windows can attract and distribute chi in a room while also preventing good energy from escaping a room. Depending on your goal, there are many appropriate Feng Shui bedroom Crystals. For example, Rose Quartz or Amazonite on your bedside table can help you reconnect with self-acceptance and healing. Feng Shui Crystals can be used anywhere in the Home; for example, Black Tourmaline with Mica kept outside your front door can also prevent negative energy from entering and Amethyst can be placed in your Meditation area to maintain calmer and grounding vibes.
Decorating with Feng Shui
Uplifting and inspiring artwork is a Feng Shui energy enhancer. When you are decorating with Feng Shui in mind, you should also choose art that represents the 5 Feng Shui elements.
The Wood Element is reflected in artwork with trees, forests, or driftwood. You can choose paintings or wall art made from wooden materials.
The Element of Water can be represented in paintings of rivers, waterfalls, the ocean, or lakes.
The Fire Element may be seen in artwork with cozy scenes by a fireplace or candlelight.
The Element of Earth is seen in landscape paintings with mountains or plants.
The Element of Metal is easily represented in artwork made from metal materials including silver, bronze, or copper.
Remove Obstacles
Various obstacles can impede the flow of chi in your Home. Implementing Feng Shui in your Home often involves some degree of decluttering. But make no mistake – one of the main purposes of decluttering is to remove obstacles that may block energy in your Home. This is particularly true at your front door where energy enters your Home. Even furniture such as tall bookcases, dressers, or chests should be arranged carefully so they are offset from your usual position rather than directly across or opposite you.
Consult a Feng Shui Expert
As you can see, there are many ways that you can make your Home more Feng Shui friendly today. Nevertheless, Classical Feng Shui is a very precise practice and it has taken me years to learn and hone my skills to truly unlock the powers of Feng Shui. If you want to learn more about incorporating Feng Shui principles in your Home, book a discovery call and I look forward to assisting you in elevating your Feng Shui journey with Momentum Feng Shui.
Meena attended our home in December of 2023 to provide… More a home consultation. I have an amateur enough understanding of Feng Shui to know 2024 is the start of Period 9 in Flying Stars and needed assistance to know where to place this year's remedies and enhancers. Meena is a practioner of Classic Feng Shui and as such has a very technical understanding of the energies at play in the universe interpreted by the symbols and structures present in our environment. I am so grateful to her for correcting me in what I had believed to be the direction of our home. Classical Feng Shui tunes into magnetic north and I had never accounted for magnetic declination. That correction alone was worth the value for the entire consult, but it is only a small note in the service provided during the consult. Meena was so thoughtful in her interactions and respectful of our space. The recommendations were grounded and realistic. The remedies also work. I will share one example. One of the remedies is "moving metal" to provide a particularly strong cure in a particularly difficult area of life. This is a heavy metal piece of decor with a metal clock hands attached. It worked smoothly for three weeks until an event in this difficult area of life occurred that brought up old toxicity. The moving hands kept hitting an invisible block for the hours of this event. Afterwards it worked smoothly... until the next event occurrence.. as though the toxicity was too thick. There was no denying the synchronicity of these occurrences. Interestingly that area of life has smoothed out this last month. Also, this wasn't an area of life that I have difficulty in, but my partner's... and he just humors me in my energy hobbies. For anyone who wants to live life intentionally, and wishes to live a harmonious life, I would highly recommend Momentum Feng Shui. Thank you so much Meena for pursuing this path and teaching us clients how to do this in our personal spaces. Much appreciated!
I had such an amazing experience with Meena. She blessed… More us with her presence at our work place and the energy has been so light ever since. I highly recommend Momentum Feng Shui to anyone who has been looking for someone who is knowledgeable in the field .
We enjoyed our Feng shui clearing session with Meena.… More Her energy and knowledge was impressive. After the clearing, the energy in my spa feels lighter. Also we were educated at the same time so we were able to understand what exactly she was doing and moving forward be able to do a clearing ourselves. It was a beautiful, positive experience. Thank you, Meena!!
