Align the bottom portion of the map with the door/entryway to the room. Arrange the things that apply to each section on the map in the proper place in your room. In the lower left, place books which represent wisdom. In the middle right, which is “child” and represents creativity, place a musical instrument you play or a place where you can paint.
Lower left: Knowledge and growth, which can apply to learning and studying, investing in spiritual wisdom and faith, and personal growth. Lower-middle: Career and work success, which focuses on success in current jobs, getting promotions, moving to new careers, and achieving goals. Lower-right: Travel and helpful people, which applies to safety in travels, relocating to new places, seeking people who will help and mentor you in life. Middle-left: Family relationships and health, which means investing in the strength of your family, expanding your social life, and being committed to personal health. Center: Self or well being, which seeks to achieve harmony with yourself and environment, promote health and overcome illness, increase endurance and vitality. Middle-right: Child or creativity, which represents unlocking creativity, bettering communication and building the future. Upper-left: Wealth and power, which seeks prosperity, generating cash flow, and promoting abundance. Upper-center: Reputation and fame, which seeks public attention, becoming well known, and creating a strong reputation. Upper-right: Love and marriage, which includes improving relationships, attracting love, and increasing self-esteem.
Maybe you don’t have a specific object, or enough space, to place something in every section. Something you can do instead is write down on a piece of paper something you care about which represents that or something you desire that represents that section. This can be a stand-in for the actual object. It’s also important to note that sometimes due to room or house layouts, parts of the map may be missing or partial. You can symbolically apply the feng shui to the wall where the missing section would be. Just make your intent for the missing section clear when you place something there.
Faucets already bring running water, but in rooms without faucets, consider buying a small fountain which can constantly be running water. Plants are a great way to add earth to a room. If you can’t easily incorporate something physically made of the element, hanging a picture that represents the element is a good alternative.
Carefully go through the room and consider what is there that doesn’t need to be. Do you keep piles of work papers? These will create negative energy. Do you have exercise equipment or multiple storage containers? These reduce the amount of open space in the room. The best balance will be achieved in a bedroom by having more open space and less unneeded stuff crowding the room.
This positioning is one that promotes protection because you are able to easily see what comes through the door. You will be more at ease knowing that nothing can come through the door without you knowing. If it is possible, place a large rug under the bed to help ground the bed’s energy. It is also good to have one night stand on each side of the bed to help balance it.
This balancing piece of furniture does not need to be the same size. The effect will be achieved as long as it’s somewhat large. If you are going to have a dresser in the room, this is ideal for balancing out the bed.
Use soft, ruffled curtains rather than plastic, wooden or metal blinds. If possible, use wood rings to hang curtains with. Close the curtains at night to keep out the dark which brings negative energy. Clean your windows fairly often to make sure that energy from outside can flow through easily. Dirty or smeared windows hinder the energy flow.
Bring life with leafy, green potted plants. Don’t crowd the space, but place enough to ensure the space is well balanced. Install lighting to drive away dark energy. Place beloved objects on the cabinets that create positive energy.

Getting rid of old food frequently is important because your kitchen is the source of health in your home and old food does not promote good health.
Use all of the stove’s burners regularly to maintain the overall strength of the stove’s energy. Move your trash can away from the stove to keep the negative energy of the garbage away from the positive energy of the fresh food you prepare on the stove. When you face the stove, you may be facing away from the entrance to your kitchen. Because of this, it is possible for someone to come up behind you without you knowing it. This is bad energy because it makes you restless and you can’t focus your attention on the food. To counteract this, hang a mirror over the stove to give yourself a view behind you.
