There are a number of simple Feng Shui cures that you can apply immediately to enhance the quality of your life and relationships. The first thing to know about Feng Shui cures, is that in Feng Shui, the primary goal is prevention, and cures are typically secondary. Feng Shui cures are normally applied when physical locations (e.g., a bathroom in the wealth sector of your home) can't be changed. With that out of the way, let's look at the different types of Feng Shui cures that you can use: crystals, fountains and water, lucky bamboo, mirrors and other Feng Shui cures.
Crystals may seem a strange Feng Shui cure and are probably not always associated with Feng Shui. The important thing to remember when using a crystal as Feng Shui cure, is that different types of crystals will have different properties - for example, rose quartz enhances heart healing and therefore the love and romance aspects of your life. It is also essential that when using crystal as a Feng Shui cure, that the crystal be natural and not man-made.
Less common Feng Shui cures include wealth frogs, and brass statues.
Water aspects and fountains are universally recognized as Feng Shui cures because of their soothing and calming nature. As a general rule, water features should not be placed in the bedroom, and should remain in the east, southeast and north parts of a given space or home. This will help to enhance your family's health, prosperity and careers. Similarly, the lucky bamboo plant has become a well-recognized Feng Shui cure in recent years.
The most powerful of Feng Shui cures available is the mirror. There are a number of theories why this is, but the most recognized one is that since ancient times, people have been fascinated with the ability of reflective surfaces to show true images - and of course, the first ever reflective surface was water. Mirrors therefore, have the energetic properties of water without being water features. Placed correctly, mirrors will expand the space in a room and draw in additional beneficial qi. They can also be used as a Feng Shui cure to shift the energy flow in a room. There are actually four types of mirrors used in Feng Shui: typical, concave, convex and bagua. The typical mirror can be four-sided (representing balance) or round (representing wholeness), and is typically used indoors. Concave and convex mirrors distort images, and therefore should only be used outdoors and with great care. The bagua mirror is an octagonal mirror that is used outdoors to protect the home from "secret arrows". Even though mirrors are called the "aspirin" of Feng Shui cures, great care must be taken when using them to achieve optimal effect.
"Other" Feng Shui cures describes a broad categories of things that can be done / used to enhance the flow of qi in your home, rather than specific cures as outlined above. This includes things like using round rather than square furniture, using window coverings, clearing out the clutter in your home, using indoor plants or other living qi items (such as pets) to enhance the flow of qi, utilizing artwork depicting Feng Shui elements rather than the elements themselves and making sure that our lighting is soft and comforting. From this, it is easy to see that rather than being a quick fix, Feng Shui cures are a way to help balance and improve your life.
