Toilet according to Feng Shui: rules of location and arrangement

Feng Shui requirements for a toilet room

In those distant times, when the main set of Feng Shui rules was created, there were no toilets within the house, and this was considered a good sign. For important courtiers and wealthy people, their “toilets” were brought to them by servants, who immediately cleaned everything up, as a result of which the sewage never lingered within the living quarters. In poorer houses, the latrine was located outside the house.

Today, every person has a bathroom, and the bad Feng Shui of this place needs to be compensated as much as possible. The accumulation of a large number of pipes and drains is an extremely negative, from the point of view of the teachings of Feng Shui, a place through which beneficial Qi energy flows out of the house. Therefore, the approach to organizing bathrooms requires special attention.

It is recommended to follow the following rules:

Always keep the toilet lid closed so that the energy of life does not leave the house through the drain pipe.
Ensure good ventilation in the toilet: it does not matter whether it is forced or natural. This will help the energy circulate fully and not stagnate.
The bathroom should be as simple as possible; luxury items are not allowed in this place. An expensive painting in the toilet can not only worsen the feng shui of the house, but also bring bad luck to its inhabitants.
You can hang a mirror on the outside of the bathroom or even install large mirrored doors that will reflect energy and create the illusion of the absence of this room.
The toilet door should also always be closed.
It is not recommended to make an additional open drain hole directly in the floor.
The plumbing must be in good working order. Any leak leads to a deterioration in the financial condition of the family.

Is the toilet sha or not?

Of course, first of all, the unfavorable location of the toilet in the house is associated with unpleasant odors, which in Feng Shui are called “smell sha”.

When we were in Central China, I understood why Feng Shui pays so much attention to this space. You can only go there wearing a gas mask and overalls, which must be disinfected before you take them off, as they show in movies about mega viruses! Horror. You can’t even imagine what it is and how it works inside!

But in other places, especially in modern European interiors, sometimes you go into the toilet and it seems that you are in the Queen’s boudoir or in a Thai elite spa salon - it is very beautiful and the smell of citrus, lavender or patchouli.

If you keep your toilet constantly clean and take care that the smell of sewerage does not penetrate into the house, you don’t have to worry about “sha”.

Favorable and undesirable colors and shades

It is not recommended to use colors that are considered dominant, such as blue and black, when decorating a restroom. Any shades characteristic of the element of Fire, as well as images of the sun and sunny landscapes, are strictly not suitable. This will create dissonance with the dominant element of Water in the room. When choosing a toilet, you should give preference to the classic white color, which is as neutral as possible from a Feng Shui point of view.

To decorate the room, use any neutral shades characteristic of the water element: blue, light blue, turquoise, silver. Such a bathroom will be easier to keep clean, and its impact on people's lives will be reduced.

The element of Water goes well with the elements of Wood and Metal, which allows you to use their shades. The main thing is that they do not dominate and disturb the natural balance. These include natural brown, terracotta, gray and their shades.

Feng Shui placement of toilet and bathroom

The most unfavorable location of the bathroom is opposite the front door. In this case, the money coming into your home will quickly flow away along with the energy of the water that you flush into the toilet or sink. Hence - waste, constant lack of money and financial losses.

Unfortunately, many apartment buildings have just such a feature as a toilet opposite the front door. It is unlikely that Soviet architects wanted to harm the people who would live in their houses. Most likely, they had no idea about the principles of Feng Shui, and now we are paying for it.

However, all is not lost! To protect your well-being, some Feng Shui experts recommend hanging a picture of a landscape on the bathroom door - this will retain monetary energy in your home and help maintain financial stability.

You can also zone the corridor - separate the toilet from the front door using a curtain. A curtain made of beads or bamboo sticks is good for these purposes.

If it is not possible to properly zone the hallway, then you need to at least place an obstacle between the bathroom and the front door, for example, a tree in a pot or a floor lamp that attracts attention.

What does "in the center" mean?

In this case, when we talk about San Yuan, we are not really talking about the geometric center. Many people misunderstand this by simply connecting two diagonal lines and finding the center-intersection, struggling with finding the center in apartments and houses of irregular shape.

We all don't do this. We are dealing with the energies of space, and not with geometry. Everything here is much more interesting and is based on an understanding of the distribution of energy throughout the premises.

For example, in this example the toilet would be in the center of the house. And in the same apartment with a slightly different layout, the house will no longer be in the center. Your toilet may fall under the category of "in the center of the house" without even being in its exact geometric center, but somewhere near it.

I explain this in more detail in the course “Is everything sha that is directed” and in the full-time course on Flying Stars, when we discuss the distribution of qi.

If you are now at the stage of designing a house and do not yet know all the intricacies and nuances of energy distribution, simply do not design a toilet in the “central zone” of the house, where there are no windows, especially near the main entrance to the house. Then you will definitely not fall into the risk zone.

Wealth zone according to Feng Shui in the apartment

According to Feng Shui, each apartment is divided into zones that are responsible for a specific area: career, family, creativity, health and wealth.

The wealth zone is a sector in the house, the activation of which helps improve the financial situation of the residents. Your task is to adjust the space of the sector and visualize the necessary well-being.

Properties of the wealth zone:

improves the financial situation of apartment residents;
creates favorable conditions for the implementation of projects;
attracts additional sources of income;
builds relationships with people.

Initially, you need to find a wealth zone in the apartment. It is believed that the south-eastern side of the home is responsible for the activity of financial flows.

There are several ways to determine its location.

Use a compass.
Use a Bagua grid. The Bagua grid is a zoned octagon. In each corner of the grid there are divisions into parts of the world: north, south, west, east and their derivatives. We overlay it on the apartment plan so that the center of the home coincides with the center on the grid and find the south-eastern part.
The easiest way. Stand with your back to the front door, and facing the apartment - the far left corner of the room will be the zone of wealth.

It happens that a person can influence only one room in an apartment, for example, if he lives with his parents, then he should determine the location of the zone in it.

You or from your IP have already voted. If there is a bathroom or toilet in the southeast of the apartment, this is the most undesirable combination in feng shui. The wealth zone can be protected in the following ways:

Keep the bathroom and toilet clean.
It should always smell good in there.
Hang a mirror or a picture of a flowering tree on the outside of the door.
Tie red ribbons around the drainpipes.
Check the serviceability of pipes and plumbing. Replace as necessary. It is believed that money will flow down the drain if the pipes are leaking.
Always close the toilet lid to prevent the flow of energy from escaping with water.
Place a red rug on the floor.
Perform an energetic cleansing of these rooms using wind chimes.

If the wealth zone and the bedroom coincide, remember that this room is a place for sleep and relaxation. There shouldn't be anything superfluous in it. Don't put a fountain here, you can hang a picture of a landscape.

If there is a refrigerator in the wealth zone, then keep it clean, fill it with good and fresh products, and throw out spoiled ones in a timely manner.

Once you have determined the wealth zone in the apartment, you need to activate it in order to attract well-being and prosperity to its residents.

Wealth sector in the apartment

Layout location

The location of the toilet according to Feng Shui is of greatest importance. By choosing the right location, you can reduce its impact on the Qi energy in the house. But it is important to consider that the toilet room creates negative vibrations, regardless of which side of the world it is located in.

The worst option is to locate the toilet in the center of the apartment or house. This leads to constant quarrels, depression and even heart disease.

A bathroom in the north harms one’s career, interfering with promotion prospects, and worsening relationships with colleagues and superiors. To avoid such influence, place a large stone or a seven-level pagoda in the toilet.

If the bathroom is located in the east, it deprives the family of good luck and spoils the relationship between parents and sons. In this case, you cannot place plants and flowers in the room, as they will increase the negative impact. Instead, it is better to place a wind chime made of five sticks there.

The toilet located in the western part has a bad effect on the health of children. You can get rid of this influence by painting the door of the room a rich red color. The walls of the toilet should not be white and placing wind chimes there should be avoided.

Toilets and bathrooms located in the south can cause gossip that discredits the good name of the family. You can reduce the negative impact of this factor by placing a bowl of clean water there and reducing the lighting level.

In the southwest, the restroom harms marital relationships and threatens family prospects. First of all, the woman who will suffer from this will face health problems, indifference of her husband, excessive amount of work and fatigue. If moving the room is not possible, you can reduce its negative impact by placing fresh flowers or other plants in ceramic pots, and also decorating the room with natural crystals.

Toilet in the northwest

According to Feng Shui, the northwest is also considered a fairly favorable zone, although not as ideal as the northern sector. In this case, significant adjustments to the toilet space are not required; no additional actions or tricks need to be implemented.

In addition to the cardinal directions, the toilet should be harmoniously located in relation to the other interior decoration of your home. Situations where the toilet is located directly opposite are very undesirable.

In Feng Shui practice, a stove through a double wall with a toilet can also carry a negative connotation, because the stove is a symbol of Fire and should be located in the southern sector.

Do not place the toilet in the northwestern sector of the house.

This advice comes from the idea of matching the northwest with the Tian trigram, which in San He's theory represents the eldest man in the house. It is believed that if the toilet is located in the northwest, a man may become weak, lazy, incapacitated, rarely be at home, and often get sick. For example, in a house like this:

However, this is only part of the story.

The second part is enclosed in San Yuan, in which not only the North-West, but also Star 6 is associated with the man.

For the first time, Master Yen Pen spoke about this publicly, recording the stories of his Feng Shui consultations in his diary. He then handed over this diary to Master Leyau. Master Leyau has created a training course for those who professionally want to study the theory of Flying Stars based on this diary called Er Jai.

So, in one example, Master Yen Pen explains the reasons for the health problems of the owner of the house. It was in Zvezda 6 relative to his house that there was a cesspool (toilet).

Many people know that it is unfavorable to place a toilet in the northwest, but few people know that Star 6, also representing a man and the northwest, can be located in any sector of the house, not only in the northwest...

Do not place the toilet in the Peach Blossom

First, a little information about Peach Blossom. The Peach Blossom formula belongs to the San He system. It is believed that if the Peach Blossom for a home is dirty or does not correspond to the correct care/receipt of water, then people may have problems in relationships.

Since water can also leak in the bathroom, the Peach Flower can also be activated, which means it can seriously harm relationships and cause diseases of the genitourinary system.

This is a complex topic that is studied only in face-to-face courses on the San He theory; it cannot be explained in a few words.

But if you do not plan to study Feng Shui deeply and contact specialists for Feng Shui advice when building a house, do not despair, I will tell you a big secret!

There is one simple rule. If you follow it, this formula simply will not work at all and will never harm you, you will always be protected.

The secret is simple: don’t make a hole like this in the floor of your bathroom.

True, sometimes we make such a hole in the floor specifically for Feng Shui to enhance yang energies, but if you don’t know how to use it correctly, just exclude the possibility itself. Well, it’s like, if you don’t know if you are allergic to a certain product, and you don’t want to involve specialists to conduct tests, you simply exclude this product from your diet, and that means it definitely won’t harm you...

Toilet in the southern part of the house

To begin, determine exactly in which direction of the world your toilet is located. The worst place to place a restroom is the South, because it is the southern sector that is controlled by the opposite element of Fire. To help your home overcome the conflict of elements and energy flows, you can correct this phenomenon.

The above-mentioned decor will work well: add more elements that display water to the arrangement of the toilet. It is also desirable that they be dark (for example, a winter river, a night ocean, etc.)

Avoid warm colors in the decor and arrangement of the toilet room; when placing a toilet in the South, yellow, orange and red tones are not allowed. Make sure that they are completely absent from your restroom.

Also, in such a toilet it would not be a bad idea to “darken” the room a little. Dark blue tiles for the floor and blue elements for finishing the walls are good.

Where to put a money tree according to Feng Shui in an apartment

There are also money plants that help attract financial flows to the apartment and increase wealth.

The most famous money plant that provides abundance is the money tree (crassula). It has small round leaves that look like coins. Do not pick off the leaves of the money tree. And to increase the family budget when planting a plant, bury any coin in a pot with a fat plant.

It is advisable to place the money tree near a window facing southeast. Choose a green or red pot for the plant. You need to carefully care for the plant, do not forget to water it.

Geraniums and cacti also attract finance to the apartment. Cacti serve a dual function:

“strung” wealth on their thorns;
protect from thieves.

A few more words about the location of the restroom

If you strictly follow the laws of Feng Shui, then the toilet should be located in a favorable place.

Poor toilet location

Please pay attention to the following:

According to the philosophy of Feng Shui, the toilet opposite the entrance (entrance door) is one of the worst planning decisions. If this is your case, then you will be haunted by constant failures,
If the toilet is located opposite the bed, then this is the most dangerous location, because in a dream a person is most vulnerable to the harmful energy that circulates in the toilet,
If the toilet is located opposite the living room, then the atmosphere in this room will always be tense and nervous.

From here we conclude that the toilet doors need to be veiled, made almost invisible, you can hang a mirror on the outside of the toilet door. Most importantly, do not forget that the doors to the toilet should always be kept tightly closed!

Pay special attention to how your bed is positioned. The head of the bed should not be adjacent to the wall of the toilet. Under no circumstances should the bed be placed above or below the toilet, for example on a floor above or below. Therefore, if you live in a multi-story building, then when placing your bed, try to find out what is located behind the wall, above or below your neighbors. If there is a toilet there, then you are guaranteed a leak of beneficial energy and an active influx of negative energy.

If you have an aquarium in your apartment, then you need to remove it from the toilet as far as possible. The aquarium is intended to symbolize well-being, but if it is installed near the toilet, where water is constantly going down the drain, its power will invisibly and constantly flow out of your house into the sewer.

It’s very bad if you put a trash can or a broom in the corner of the toilet! The problem is that the trash can represents the abyss, which will increase its harmful effects while in the toilet.

If the toilet is located in the wealth zone, then this is simply a disaster. If you do not have the opportunity to remove the toilet from this zone, then the only way to neutralize the harmful effects of the toilet on the wealth zone is to hang a mirror on the door of your toilet; it will reflect the flow of harmful energy and make the toilet invisible.

Follow these easy-to-follow tips, arrange your toilet correctly, and Feng Shui will help you find harmony, happiness and prosperity.

Is it possible to place a toilet in the bedroom

You may have already read some books or articles on the Internet about Feng Shui, where it was said that you should not place a toilet in the bedroom.

I know that some feng shui “gurus” are now throwing tomatoes at me, but I have a different opinion.

I'll tell you what you can do in the bedroom toilet.

I don't think you need to explain that there is a big difference between what toilets looked like 1000 years ago when Feng Shui was being developed in China and what they look like now. Anyone who has been to the villages of central China even in our time will understand what I am talking about.

Therefore, of course, I would also say that you can’t place a toilet in the bedroom if it was exactly as it was at that time: smelly, dirty, from just looking at it you could probably get infected and get sick... No God forbid I have one like this in the bedroom!

But now everything is different! Beauty, cleanliness and constant purification and ventilation of the air. And therefore this rule has lost its relevance.

Yes, of course, it is imperative to study what our predecessors wrote about Feng Shui. But you also need to understand the reasons for the conclusions they made, on the basis of which these advice appeared, and not just blindly follow. And if the reason is no longer there, then this advice is no longer relevant.

Well, unless, of course, your toilet in the bedroom is the same as in old China, then yes, you should definitely listen :).

I'm not advocating that you make a toilet in your bedroom on purpose. No. If possible, it is still better to be away from the sewer (in case it bursts). But, if you need a toilet in the bedroom (well, you never know what the reasons may be), then personally I don’t see anything wrong with this.

Another question is how exactly to arrange the inside of a bathroom located next to the bedroom, even if it is beautiful?

It is advisable that the door to the toilet should not be located opposite any other doors of the apartment or house: opposite the front door, the door to the bedroom, to the office, and also opposite the bed, desktop, unless there are special recommendations from the Feng Shui Master, as there are always exceptions, everything is very individual.

Where to place the toilet in the toilet room

Not so long ago, such a concept as a “toilet sha” appeared, which is formed if you draw a straight line from the toilet through all the walls to the bed.

Personally, I have no observations that this works. I can not say anything. But my colleagues say that there is such experience, so I sometimes look at it too...

However, in all the cases they tell, I see that there is not only one reason for what is happening. In all the years of my practice, I have never seen that only one incorrectly located door to the toilet, for example, or just one “toilet sha” led to problems for people.

There are always even more compelling reasons, for example, a bed in an unfavorable sector, a door to the bedroom or an unfavorable direction of the front door relative to the same Flying Stars (natal, annual and monthly).

Remember that it is not enough to ensure that the toilet sector is suitable. Be sure to pay close attention to how the stove, bed, desk are positioned, and in what directions all the doors in the house are located.

How to activate the wealth zone in an apartment

To activate the zone, the following steps must be taken:

carry out general cleaning;
throw away all unnecessary things;
fix broken things;
put things in order, put things in their places;
ventilate the room to prevent energy stagnation.

This way you will make room for the influx of monetary energy.

To activate the wealth sector, you need to arrange it correctly, that is, take into account the colors that are present in the interior, the arrangement of furniture, and design elements.

Be sure to pay attention to the light. During the day, the sun's rays should enter the window; twilight in the room is undesirable. Hang a bright chandelier and place lamps. If a light bulb burns out, change it immediately.

You can decorate the wealth area with flowers. Place large flowers, from the ficus genus, money trees or citrus fruits. If you don’t have time to care for flowers, place a basket of oranges.

Bowls, vases, and barrels filled with coins or shells will also help activate the zone. Such treasuries will attract wealth. Keep treasures in a desk or locked cabinet.

In the wealth sector they put drawings or photographs of what they have long dreamed of. A green plant perfectly activates the wealth zone. A money tree works well. Next to a real tree, you can also put an artificial one - with coins or ornamental stones instead of leaves.

An aquarium is an ideal option for activating the Feng Shui money zone in an apartment. Choose an aquarium with round or rectangular shapes: they create positive flows of monetary energy. It is best to start gold-colored fish, as they have good energy.

To attract money in Feng Shui, it is recommended to have eight goldfish (a symbol of material well-being and wealth) and one black one (it protects the owners from adverse influences and plays the role of a protector). If for any reason one dies, they replace it with a new one and bury the old one outside their home. It is believed that in this way the fish took on all the negative energy. You can have more fish, but it is advisable that their number be a multiple of nine: 9.18 or 36 pieces.

It is important to monitor the condition of the fish in the aquarium. It is necessary to regularly clean the aquarium and change the water.

Some items adversely affect the well-being of apartment residents. They should not be kept in the wealth sector.

You cannot keep an empty piggy bank in the wealth zone.
If there is a mirror hanging in the money sector, it should not reflect the front door.
It is unacceptable to place a trash can in the money sector.
You cannot place metal objects in the money zone. Remove frames and pictures with metal frames.
It is undesirable to place a fireplace and anything related to the element of fire in the wealth zone.
You should not hang pictures of autumn or the desert. They symbolize decay.
Antiques should also not be in the wealth sector. He has accumulated old energy, which prevents new flows from moving.

Feng Shui: toilet in the north, what to do

If you are lucky (or you deliberately placed the restroom in the right direction), experts note that initially a harmonious flow of Qi energy in your home is already ensured. All that remains for you is not to upset the balance when arranging the restroom.

Use white as the main color. It is ideal as a base shade for walls and even floors.
Avoid any fiery shades - red, yellow, orange.
Dark blue tones, black, blue, and silver are welcome in the decor of the toilet room.
Place one or two accents in the restroom that will reflect the element of Water (for example, you can hang a ship in a bottle, a picture of the sea, etc. on the wall).
Metal and wooden elements are well suited for installing a toilet located in the northern sector.

Artificial lighting in the toilet according to Feng Shui

It is considered favorable when the toilet is not only crystal clean, washed and well-groomed, but also sufficiently lit. Lack of lighting in the restroom can block the flow of Qi and make the overall atmosphere of the restroom oppressive and uncomfortable.

It's good if the restroom has a window. Natural light penetrating through it will make the toilet room not only fresher (and this is very important for feng shui), but will also ensure a more powerful circulation of energy flows in the house. If there is no window in your toilet, then you should worry about good artificial lighting.

Remember that a room designed according to the rules of Feng Shui practice should not be dark or gloomy!

Even the cleanest restroom will seem uninviting and create the feeling of a dirty room if the lighting in it is insufficient or the lamps provide an unnatural light. Therefore, it is important to take care of the lighting fixtures in your restroom. Strive to place them in such a way as to make them as unnoticeable as possible, to saturate the toilet room with uniform and as natural, diffused light as possible. Ideally, artificial lighting should resemble daytime sunlight.

The quality of lighting in your restroom is easy to check: if there is enough light, then white earthenware will look natural and snow-white, and will not have a yellow or other unnatural tint under the light of the lamps.

A restroom is not just a toilet, a sink and a rug; it is the inharmonious arrangement of this living space, as it turns out, that can bring lack of money and difficulties into the house in all areas of life. That is why cleanliness in the toilet, according to Feng Shui, is the first step on the path to wealth, financial well-being and prosperity. Source: ezoterika.ru

Feng Shui bathroom furniture

Proper arrangement of the bathroom, where water constantly moves, is important for financial well-being. Therefore, the bathroom environment should facilitate the free flow of money energy.

All objects, furniture and plumbing fixtures must be round in shape. The fewer corners there are in the bathroom, the better.

According to the Feng Shui of an apartment, the bathroom must be spacious and bright. Gloom and cramped conditions can negatively affect the financial condition of the family. At the same time, even in a small bathroom you can create space and comfort. At least visually increase the space, this will contribute to the growth of your profits.

Is it possible to hang a mirror opposite the bathroom door?

Placing a mirror in the bathroom is very favorable for harmonizing the space according to Feng Shui. It enhances the beneficial element of Water and reduces stagnation of energy in this room. It is best to hang the mirror on the wall perpendicular to the bathroom door. But if this is impossible or inconvenient, then you can hang a mirror opposite the front door.

It is worth warning about the incorrect placement of two mirrors in one bathroom:

Don't hang two mirrors exactly opposite each other.
If you want to hang two mirrors on walls that are perpendicular to each other, then do not join the two mirrors together in a corner.

Does money get flushed down the toilet?

Yes, water leaves in this place, but water loss in itself is not an unfavorable factor. There is no “money flush” here, as some books or articles say, which recommend “keeping the toilet lid closed.” Everything is much deeper!

For some reason, many who begin to study Feng Shui believe that the loss of water itself is bad in any case. No, my friends, this is not true! When our house is located classically with a mountain at the back of the house and a facade on the decline, having “embraces” on the left and right, it a priori already “looks” at the “retreating water”. And this can be a very favorable factor in some areas of the façade.

But if the outgoing water is located in inappropriate directions, then yes, then money can leave the house, since the outgoing water represents the Yang factor in the San He formulas, and therefore represents money.

Moreover, if we are talking about ordinary toilets and bathtubs in our houses and apartments, then most often there is no “Water Outlet” at all in the meaning as it is understood in classical Feng Shui San He. These are only a certain type of bathrooms, which are most often found in Southeast Asia. In our territories this is extremely rare.
