Bathrooms should face north, the direction of water,
according to Feng Shui. North is also the direction of malevolent
spirits and hence, bathrooms are considered to be prone to accidents and
mishaps. Keeping this in mind, blue and black, the colors denoting water
are ideal for bathrooms, shower rooms, vanities and toilets. They should
also be thoroughly protected and extra measures to make them safe for
children and the elderly are desired. Bathrooms should be devoid of any
sharp objects and non-skid surfaces are preferable. The flow of Chi in
the bathroom is necessary and thus, open windows to allow free flow of
air, mirrors and Feng Shui crystals should be used.
Other precautions include installing the octagonal Bagwa mirror on the
door, (especially if it opens outward), keep the lid of the toilet seat
down when not in use and keep the toilet door closed. A bathroom is the
room for wealth and a dirty and cluttered bathroom can make you poor.
Bathrooms that are clean well organized and in good shape, encourage the
free flow of energy leading to prosperity in the household. Make sure
that your bathroom is not draining Chi away from other wealth areas such
as a home office or study and place a mirror in the bathroom in such a
way that the person in the shower can see the bathroom door clearly.
Pipes of the bathroom should be maintained in good working order and
clean them occasionally to prevent clogging.
Sinks and bathtub drains should be kept covered to stop your money from
going down the drain. Bamboo reflected in the mirror is considered lucky
too. A screen between the toilet area and shower area is desirable.
Decorated baths and good quality towels make you prosperous and healthy.
The gold towels mean abundance. Avoid clutter and never ever bring
things from kitchen in to the bathroom. One needs to remove waste, dead
and stagnant energy that gets blocked here and cleaning with natural
cleaners can help you to keep Chi fresh in this area of your home. More
natural light is preferable but it should not compromise your privacy.
You can also keep fresh flowers and plants in the bath to keep Chi
vibrant and fresh.
