What you need to know about pets and Feng Shui
Website design By BotEap.comEvery space needs active energy and love. Pets give us both. And pets also allow us to express our love. Pets are often considered members of the family and as such should be taken into account when you review the feng shui of your home.
Website design By BotEap.comRegardless of the type of pet, there are some simple feng shui guidelines for keeping pets that range from common sense suggestions on care and feeding to things you may not consider, such as how pets affect your relationships, finances, or health.
Website design By BotEap.comPETS ARE GOOD FENG SHUI
Website design By BotEap.comThis is the most important thing to remember. Its energy and liveliness means that we have an active home even when we are not there, making our homes more “yang”. Dogs, for example, also provide protective energy for our homes and help us feel more secure and protected.
Website design By BotEap.comWhen dogs bark and wag their tails happily, they give us a lot of exuberant joy. And petting and caring for any animal gives us and them great feng shui energy, and displays of love are always wonderful feng shui. This is the best case. But when are pets not good for feng shui? There are some cases where pets disrupt the feng shui of your home.
Website design By BotEap.comGOOD FENG SHUI MEANS THAT PETS ARE TAKEN PROPERLY
Website design By BotEap.comThe worst case scenario is when pets are not properly cared for. If the tank is not clean and clear, the fish are not doing so well, and neither are you. Fish represent feng shui success and wealth, and if the water is dirty, both can elude it.
Website design By BotEap.comFurthermore, in feng shui, dirty water can also lead to health problems. One of the worst situations I saw was a fish tank so dirty that you couldn’t even see the fish. The couple who lived in this house were bankrupt and soon divorced. He could feel nothing but pity for those poor, poor creatures.
Website design By BotEap.comWhat must other visitors have thought, and what did this disgusting tank do to the psyche of everyone in the household? Or what was the message to the child who saw parents who cared so little about these fish that they didn’t even give them clean water?
Website design By BotEap.comSo while it is nice to have a pet, the first priority should always be the health, safety and care of the pet. If you don’t have adequate space or time to care for the pet, then it is better not to have them because, simply put, having animals in poor condition is very bad feng shui.
Website design By BotEap.comGOOD FENG SHUI KEEP PETS AND PEOPLE BALANCED
Website design By BotEap.comIf animals live in the house, it is important to ensure that the proper hierarchy is observed. I can’t tell you how many pet horror stories I see ranging from romantic difficulties to health issues because pets dominate people. Remember, you are the owner of your domain and must remain that way. Also, good feng shui is all about balance.
Website design By BotEap.comAlthough there are cases in which animals are not cared for properly, that is, given the appropriate conditions, treatment, very little interaction or stimulation or care, very often it happens that pets are in a superior position to people of the home. This means that the house is unbalanced, and if this is the case, the feng shui is affected. The bottom line means that life is not as good as it could or should be.
Website design By BotEap.comTry to observe some simple feng shui rules for pets.
Website design By BotEap.com1. ANIMALS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE FURNITURE
Website design By BotEap.com– unless it is furniture specifically for them. This puts them on an equal footing with people.
Website design By BotEap.com2. ANIMALS SHOULD NOT BE IN THE BED, especially for couples. This divides the couple and hinders the romance and sometimes the relationship. It would be better if the animals weren’t in a couple’s bedroom, but when it comes to choosing between pets sleeping in the room on the bed or on the floor, go with the floor, never the bed.
Website design By BotEap.com3. PETS SHOULD NOT BE THE FIRST THING SOMEONE SEES ABOUT YOUR HOME.
Website design By BotEap.comPets should improve a home, not dominate it. If the cat litter box is the first thing you see, or smell, when you enter someone’s home, then there is a problem, and it is not just the smell. If this is the case, you will find that this is a house where the occupant (s) are generally struggling.
Website design By BotEap.comPerhaps you have a dog that barks, jumps, scares, or threatens people as soon as they enter your home. Well then, you have a situation where every time someone walks in, fear accompanies them. Is this the type of environment you want to live in?
Website design By BotEap.comIf this sounds like your pet (s), then at the very least, they should be secured in another room when someone comes to visit. The fear they inspire will create a yin atmosphere. If this is your situation, then you have a home where your energy is creeping in and motivation is low.
Website design By BotEap.comOne owner has a very large aggressive dog that he thinks is sweet and wonderful. However, this dog scares visitors. This dog definitely rules the chicken coop and he knows it.
Website design By BotEap.comThe worst is when a pet is given full control of the house and its owner thinks it is “cute.” One of those owners struggles on several fronts, particularly in relationships. This is definitely a situation where the animal takes precedence over the person and makes one wonder if the dog is driving away potential love affairs. Authority with this pet must be restored so that the home can attract people (or a new love interest?).
Website design By BotEap.com4. YOUR DOG / CAT / BIRD / ETC. YOU SHOULD NOT COME BEFORE ANYONE ELSE.
Website design By BotEap.comIf Fido or Fluffy do it, this is also a problem. Feng shui is all about balance. If the pets are completely superior, then the balance does not exist. For example, a woman had photos of her dog all over the house. She struggled to find a romantic partner and was very upset that she was in her forties with no prospect of love in sight. He even had an expensive oil painting of the dog on his bed.
Website design By BotEap.comWell, how could a romantic couple come to the house when 1) the dog barked and jumped on everyone who walked through the door; and 2) was the dog the “superior dog” to the extent that he symbolically slept on his master every night?
Website design By BotEap.comDespite being advised to move the picture and make other improvements to help her love life, she did not want to part with the picture and remains single to this day. Pets should not come between people.
Website design By BotEap.com5. YOUR HEALTH SHOULD NOT SUFFER FROM HAVING PETS.
Website design By BotEap.comI am constantly amazed by people who suffer from all kinds of health problems, yet they have eight indoor cats and they swear that it is the pollen from outside that bothers them. Cats are all over the kitchen furniture and countertops. This is unhealthy, not to mention a detour for visitors. Cats, in particular, are yin animals. It compensates for its yin energy by keeping the lights on and the music on to keep your home active and energetic.
Website design By BotEap.com6. DON’T MAKE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AVOID YOUR HOME.
Website design By BotEap.comIf you have to use a lint brush with friends and family before they leave your home, this could cause others to avoid coming. The fur that sticks to them is very “yin” and will make them feel exhausted or dirty when they leave the house. This energy also makes your home feel yin.
Website design By BotEap.comIf your home is not sociable, visitors rarely come, or people leave immediately, then consider enhancing your surroundings with bright colors, sunlight, music, or other active enhancements. It may be that the environment is too yin.
Website design By BotEap.com7. USE YOUR PETS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE WITH FENG SHUI.
Website design By BotEap.comJust having a loving pet is good for you. But the pet should also be good for the whole household as long as it is friendly, clean, and does not disturb your relationships or visitors in your home.
Website design By BotEap.comDogs are wonderful for infusing living energy into a home, fish bring success, turtles symbolize longevity, and cats are symbols of financial luck (that is, lucky cats seen in Asian businesses). So, as difficult as it may be, take a look at your pet’s situation to make sure your pets don’t harm your feng shui and improve your life.
