Hi everyone welcome to clara's feng shui cafe In this video i'm going to talk about how to use
paintings to enhance our wealth luck. We know that paintings can be used to decorate our home
different paintings can give us different feelings and evoke different emotions
In feng shui we can use paintings to attract positive energy and wealth luck
In today's video I'll show you how to choose the right paintings and where to place them in
your rooms to attract good luck and prosperity When choosing paintings and their locations
we need to consider the early heaven bagua the later heaven bagua and the five elements
Every house has eight directions and they are affected by the five elements: fire , earth, metal,
water and wood
Did you know that paintings are also associated with the five elements
We need to make sure that the elements in the paintings and their locations are aligned with the bagua map
In this way the flow of positive energy can help us improving our feng shui environment in our home
this is the later haven bagua. Starting from the north , the north belongs to the water element
In this sector we can hang paintings with water elements such as a lake river ocean or fish
we can also hang pictures of woods or trees in this sector this is because the water element
enhances the wood element and remember don't put pictures of waterfall in this direction
now let me show you where exactly to hang the paintings using north as an example we have two
options option one you can stand in the middle of your house identify where is north and then
place the pictures in the north sector second option is to stand in the middle of your room
find the north wall and then place the pictures on the north side of the walls
in this case you don't have to worry about the sector of your house
now let's get back to the bagua map the south belongs to the fire element in this sector
we can hang paintings of a horse or birds make sure you don't put pictures of fire like campfire
in this sector which is not good for shae the east and the south east both belong to wood element
in the south east you can place the painting of a bird or dragon in the east you can place paintings
of flowers or trees we can also place a painting of sunrise in the east because sunrise symbolizes
hope new life and new opportunities remember don't put pictures of sunset because sunset
symbolizes end of the day or end of a journey both the west and northwest belong to metal element
in the west you can place a painting of a golden rooster or a picture of a round shaped metal
the northwest is an important sector because it represents heaven and wealth
therefore we can place paintings of skies or money symbols to enhance our wealth luck
south west belongs to earth element in this sector we can hang a painting of a land
this is the direction of the mother figure make sure the pictures of the land is a flat
land not mountains or hills because pictures of mountains or hills could bring obstacles to your
life but you can put pictures of mountains in the northeast which also belongs to the earth element
this is because this direction symbolizes mountain and it can provide you support and protection
remember the pictures of the mountains in this sector should be one with lots of plants and
rich vegetation not the one that's covered with exposed rocks now we've learned the
basic principles of how to choose paintings based on the 8 different directions and the 5
elements however we also need to consider whether the paintings are suitable for the rooms
let's first look at the front entrance the front entrance is a very important place in our house
because it's the main entry for the energy to go through what you see first when entering the
house is very important therefore we can place a painting with bright and cheerful colors to create
a lively and welcoming atmosphere remember that the god of wealth like to enter houses
that are clean bright and nice the living room the living room is suitable to hang large paintings of
mountains or lake because water represents money and mountains can provide you strong support
in the dining room you can hang a picture of a big plate of fruit
or big basket of flowers because both symbolize wealth and abundance
in the bedroom we need to make sure the paintings make us feel calm and peaceful this can help us
improving our sleeping quality and in the study we can hang pictures of tall trees pens or pencils
these elements can help us to be more focused and to improve our study ability in the kitchen we can
place a picture of a big basket of food or veggies because both symbolize wealth and abundance
and finally in the bathroom we can place pictures of small plants to help purify
the negative energy in the bathroom in summary when considering placing paintings in our home
we need to consider the directions of the bagua map the associated five elements and whether
the paintings are suitable for the rooms it's when you take all factors into consideration
the paintings can then help you attracting more positive energy into your home i hope you find
