Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is an ancient Chinese practice that harmonizes your living environment with your inner life. It’s more than just rearranging furniture; it’s an intentional way to invite good energy, or Chi, into every corner of your home so you feel supported, abundant, and at peace.
In this beginner-friendly guide, you’ll learn exactly what Feng Shui is, how it works, and six simple tips to transform your space into a sanctuary of high-vibe energy — no complicated rules or expensive renovations required.
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui literally means wind and water. Rooted in ancient Chinese wisdom, it’s a practice that studies how energy flows through our surroundings — from the placement of doors and furniture to the colors, light, and elements we use.
Think of Feng Shui as acupuncture for your home: it helps clear blockages, balance energy, and create a natural flow that supports your health, relationships, prosperity, and happiness.
Key concepts in Feng Shui include:
Chi: The life force or energy flow in all things.
Bagua Map: A tool to see which parts of your home relate to areas of your life (like wealth, love, and health).
Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — each brings unique qualities to a space.
Yin and Yang: The balance of calm and active energies.
How Feng Shui Can Help You
Feng Shui isn’t just an old tradition — it’s practical, powerful, and modern-friendly. When applied with intention, it can:
✨ Attract more abundance — by activating your money corner and clearing blocks to wealth.
🧘♀️ Create a calm, restful atmosphere — perfect for deep sleep and stress relief.
💖 Strengthen relationships — by nurturing spaces that foster love, connection, and warmth.
🌱 Boost your health and vitality — with cleaner air, more light, and a supportive environment.
🖥️ Increase focus and productivity — an uncluttered, balanced space helps your mind stay clear and inspired.
The best part? You don’t have to be a Feng Shui master — small, simple shifts make a big difference.

6 ways to transform your home using feng shui:
Tackle projects. Anything that needs to be completed or fixed, needs to be done now. Allowing unfinished projects to pile up around the home can be incredibly draining on your subconscious mind and allow for lingering doubtful thought patterns. It’s so important to finish up to do lists, go through that pile of unopened mail, hang that artwork you’ve been meaning to get to, etc. This can also show up as unfolded or undone laundry, messy closets, a piled up garage.
Balance the masculine & feminine energy in your spaces. When you are wanting to create harmony at home, you need to look at how each living space makes you feel. Today, many kitchens are really modern, with sleek lines and sharp edges. Which is very masculine energy. However, the kitchen represents warmth, love, connection, healing. You want your kitchen to feel warm and you may need to inject some feminine energy into your cooking space. Try adding wood bowls and cutting boards (earthy and warm) or even bring in color and luck with potatoes, lemons and oranges on display.
In your living area you will want a balance of both feminine and masculine to bring harmony into your home. Masculine energy inspires activities and fun while feminine energy inspires nurturing, communication and love.
Rooms that should be more feminine: bedroom, kitchen, bathrooms
Rooms that should be more masculine: office, garage, laundry
Rooms that should have a balance of both: dining room, living room, outdoor spaces
3. Update your entryway. If you have been feeling a little bored or stagnant in your life, you can make room for new opportunities to come to your life by cleaning and updating your entryway. Make sure you clean your front door, sweep the floor around and wipe off any dust or dirt. Revamp your entryway with crystals (I like selenite to purify the energy coming in and black tourmaline to protect your home’s energy). I have an entire e-book about 25 things to you canto your front door to attract more money and abundance, its FREE inside my High Vibe Home workshop. See all my e-books here.
4. Create balance in the bedroom. This one is major. Whatever is underneath your bed can tell you a lot about what you have going on in your life at the moment. I once knew a guy who had a lot of battles he was fighting in his life and when I went over to design his home, he had his guns and rifles stored under his bed. So, know that whatever you have under there, will have a literal effect on your life.
You also want to have your nightstands balanced, they don’t have to be exact but they need to be similar in size and shape. Same with the light on each side. You also want to make sure your nightstands aren’t filled with junk or random things, be intentional about what you keep next to you while you sleep.
IN EVERY ROOM YOU MUST Balance the Five Elements
A harmonious room has all five elements:
Wood: Plants, wooden furniture.
Fire: Candles, warm colors, sunlight.
Earth: Crystals, clay pots, ceramic decor.
Metal: Metal frames, wind chimes, metal bowls.
Water: Fountains, mirrors, images of water.
Look around: what’s missing? Add a small touch to balance the vibe.
5. Know your birth chart. According to astrology, your main 3 placements are key in helping you know what elements will support you in living a blissful and happy life. You want to find our your Sun sign, Moon sign and Rising sign. You can book a birth chart readings here with me.
I’m a double Capricorn and an Aquarius moon…meaning I have heavy Earth and a little Air in my chart. So when I am surrounded by heavy, earthy objects and lots of windows and light, I feel supported. And to balance out my heavy yang energy, I need more warmth and comfort in my home. You want your home to calibrate with your natal energy.
6. Transform your bathroom into a self care sanctuary. Water is healing and every day you should take a bath or shower to cleanse off your personal energy from the day. This is key in creating a harmonious home.
You always want to be sure that you are giving yourself the royal treatment. What kind of products are you putting on your skin and body? Do you bath products show that you are taking exquisite care of yourself? Are you spending enough time in healing water or are you rushing through your grooming process?

Feng Shui Mistakes to Avoid
Even the simplest tips work best when you avoid common pitfalls:
🚪 Don’t block the front door: It’s your home’s main entry for fresh Chi.
🗑️ Fix what’s broken: Leaky faucets, squeaky doors, burnt-out bulbs — they all create stuck energy.
🛏️ No clutter under the bed: It affects your sleep and your subconscious.
🐢 Keep bathrooms tidy: In Feng Shui, drains can “flush away” good luck. Keep lids closed and doors shut.
