Kitchen Feng Shui is crucial when you want to Feng Shui your house. Kitchen is about your wealth and prosperity.
Dos
- Kitchen must be located at a good sector like at your SengQi or TianYi. There is a very wrong perception "burning the bad" for example putting kitchen at your Five Ghost 五鬼 so that can kill this hostile Five Ghost 五鬼. In Feng Shui we always talking about elements, Five Ghost 五鬼 is not a “ghost” or thing that your can kill by burning. Five Ghost 五鬼 belongs to fire, when you put your kitchen at Five Ghost 五鬼, you are only looking for trouble. It can be very bad.
- Have wall at the back of the stove. The stove is the key element of the kitchen and it must have support.
- Well-Ventilated. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated so other areas of your home won’t be filled with the harmful gas produced from cooking.
- Kitchen where it matches your BaZi Useful Ten Gods 喜用神.
Don'ts
- At the Center of the house. This has the ability to bring down the luck of all the occupants of the house, causing instability and health issues especially with heart conditions.
- At Front of house. The kitchen is best situated at the back of the house, just as how the bedroom should be at the back of the house. Bedroom should be at the two third onwards. In ancient times, kitchen to be a source of wealth because of its function: producing food. Further, because the amount of wealth and prosperity of a family has is a private matter, the kitchen should be placed at the back so you won’t be exposing your wealth to the public. Thus, if kitchen is at the front of the house, there is a potential that wealth is leaking away.
- Outside of the house. The kitchen’s function as the production of prosperity. Having your main kitchen outside of the house will make it hard for the Qi of prosperity to gather.
- Kitchen's door faces the front door. To be more specific of this rule. The front door and the kitchen door (or the stove) should not form a straight line. If you enter the front door and can see the stove or the kitchen on the side, then it’s fine. If the kitchen door or stove forms a straight line with the front door, then the Qi that enters the home will be demolished by the kitchen’s fire. Further, it is possible to experience health and financial problems. An easy remedy is to place a heavy furniture or a divider between the front door and the kitchen.
- Toilet’s door faces the kitchen’s door. This is bad. Toilet belongs to water element and kitchen belongs to fire, having the two face each other produces a conflict between the water and the fire element, which can potentially cause many kinds disruptions in life. If this is your case always close the toilet door, have a slide door etc. There are some other cures.
- Kitchen door facing stove. The incoming Qi from the door will affect the food and thereby your health.
- Toilet and stove sharing the same wall.
- Beams on top of stove. Beams can be hostile in Feng Shui because they bring suppressive Qi. Not only do beams harm the person who’s preparing meals, it can also cause fluctuations of Qi. As a result, the Feng Shui of the stove can be violently affected and can bring ups and downs to the family.
- Stove facing water element. This happens when the sink and the kitchen stove face each other and forms a straight line. Having this can bring health issues, quarrel, or other problems within the household.
- Kitchen at bad sector especially at the Five Ghost 五鬼.
- Mirror in kitchen. That’s because mirrors have the ability to amplify the energy of the Fire Element, which can cause an imbalance and fluctuations in your life.
There are always plus and minus points in FengShui. If you are having some of the above issues, do not freak out.
