Tips for Dressing Well According to Feng Shui

According to many elderly people and feng shui masters, good fortune can begin with the way you dress. The belief is that your appearance reflects your personal energy and mindset. People who dress neatly, maintain good hygiene, and take pride in their appearance are thought to attract positive energy, confidence, and even wealth into their lives.

Have you ever noticed how wealthy or successful people often present themselves well? Their clothes are usually clean, tidy, stylish, and well-maintained. In feng shui beliefs, this helps encourage prosperity and good opportunities.

Feng Shui and Your Fridge: Can It Really Affect Your Wealth?

In Feng Shui, the fridge is often seen as a symbol of prosperity and abundance. Many Feng Shui masters believe it represents your “wealth bank” because it stores food, nourishment, and resources for the household. According to traditional beliefs, choosing the wrong fridge colour or placing it in an unfavourable position could affect your family’s financial luck — from struggling to save money to unexpected financial losses. On the other hand, keeping your fridge clean, organised, and well-maintained is believed to encourage positive energy and attract wealth into the home.

Feng Shui Wallet Tips: What to Keep (and Avoid) for Wealth and Prosperity

Many people turn to feng shui not only to invite wealth but also to improve relationships, enhance wellbeing, and ward off bad luck. While some dismiss it as mere superstition, others see it as a way of aligning themselves with positive energy. My view? If a practice uplifts you, causes no harm, and may even bring prosperity – why not give it a try? At the very least, you will gain an interesting experience.

Feng Shui: Bedroom Taboos

In Chinese culture, feng shui plays a major role in daily life. Many believe that when feng shui is applied correctly, it can bring good fortune, protect against bad luck, and promote overall wellbeing. However, when there is an imbalance of yin and yang chi within a space, it can create poor feng shui—sometimes believed to lead to misfortune or even serious harm.

Feng Shui: Keep Brooms and Mops out of Sight

In feng shui, brooms, mops, and other cleaning tools are often considered inauspicious when left visible. When used properly, they can sweep away negative energy from a home or business. However, if handled improperly, they may also sweep away positive and auspicious energy. For this reason, it is generally advised to keep them out of sight once cleaning is done.

Feng Shui: Keep Fake Flowers and Plants at a Minimum

I mentioned in an earlier post that my mum came to the UK to visit us. During her stay, she passed down a lot of feng shui tips and suggested I change several things. One of the suggestions was regarding fake flowers and plants. She said that if a house is filled with too many fake flowers and artificial plants, it will attract a lot of fake relationships, like friendships, and also gossip into our lives. I’m not sure where she heard it from. But she is quite an avid listener of feng shui podcasts and Buddhism YouTube channels. Each day, the channels will share tips and predictions for the zodiac animals.

Are Creepers and Climbing Plants Bad For Feng Shui?

Are creepers and climbing plants bad for feng shui? Recently, my mum came to the UK to visit us, and she noticed that I had a climbing plant outside my son’s room. He lives in an annexe away from the main house, and she wasn’t very pleased about it. She told me that, according to feng shui masters, climbing plants are a big no-no for a house. Not only can they damage the structure of the walls, but they are also believed to create a strong negative force for everyone living in the home.

Chinese Superstition: The Umbrella Taboo

Several years ago, I wrote an article about gifts to avoid buying for Chinese people, and one of the items was an umbrella. Today, I would like to expand on the Chinese superstitions surrounding the umbrella taboo in Chinese culture. In feng shui, it is believed that, when used correctly, an umbrella can bring luck and wealth. However, if used incorrectly, it may bring misfortune. Do you believe it?
