If you’ve been learning about how to feng shui your home for a while, you’ll know that one of the great side effects of using feng shui is that you become a lot luckier in your life.
Feng shui is all about setting up your home for success so that you attract good luck, good fortune, and great energy, so that it circulates throughout your home and makes your life better!
That being said, you can add all of the good luck crystals or feng shui lucky items to your home but still have some bad luck happening.
In fact, sometimes adding feng shui items to your home can actually AMPLIFY bad luck.
Why is that? Because if you don’t address the underlying energetics in your home, you’re essentially adding to the chaos, making the Chi speed up.
But if you have chaotic energy in your home already, speeding up that energy means that the bad luck starts circulating faster too!
Let’s discuss what can cause bad luck in feng shui (and what to do about it!)
What Causes Bad Luck In Feng Shui?
There are a few common things in your home that can actually drag down the energy and cause bad luck in feng shui.
These things can cause energetic blocks, stagnant energy, or just decrease good energy overall.
If good Chi has to move around these things, it drags down the energy and “dirties it up.”
This can increase bad luck and cause good luck to slow to a trickle.
Here are the most common household items that cause bad luck in feng shui:
Clutter
All forms of clutter cause stuck energy. That includes “hidden” clutter because NOTHING is hidden in feng shui!
If your home feels cluttered to you, then it IS. And only you can determine what’s clutter and what isn’t.
But if you feel overwhelmed when you enter your home (or enter certain rooms in your home) then that is definitely a sign that you have some clutter that could be cleared.
Broken Items
Broken items cause a “broken” life!
If you have a lot of bad luck, especially in a certain area of your life, check that area of the bagua map to see if that bad luck correlates to broken items in that area of your home.
Fix broken things right away, or throw them out.
Dirt and Grime and Bad Smells
Dirt, grime, dust, and bad smells contribute to how your home feels energetically.
Think about how much better your home feels after you clean it.
When you clean your home, you are stirring up the Chi and getting it moving!
That’s why cleaning is always a good place to start when you are freshening up the feng shui in your home.
It gets the energy moving and cleans it up!
Broken Mirrors or Broken Glass
Again, broken items cause broken energy (and can actually make you “broke” if they’re in the wealth area of your home.)
This is especially true of broken glass and broken mirrors.
Glass and mirrors are water element items, and the water element represents wealth in feng shui.
That means the wealth energy in your home will be fractured and scattered.
Mirrors and windows also represent how you see the world (and yourself) so it’s especially important to replace them ASAP.
Negative Books or Media
If you are consuming a lot of negative media in your home that will also drag down the Chi!
Not to mention it will directly affect your mood and energy, which will expand throughout the rest of your life.
Be very mindful of how much negative tv, books, movies, and magazines you and your family consume and display or store in your home.
And make sure you declutter your books and media every few months so that it reflects the kind of energy you want to have in your home!
Negative Artwork
Artwork tends to reflect the energy we have in our lives at the time we purchase or hang it.
Look at the artwork or pictures you are displaying in your home and make sure it’s positive and uplifting!
What you look at every day affects how you feel (just like we discussed above!)
Keep your artwork current and make sure you love it!
Neglected Home Maintenance
Like clutter and broken items, neglected home maintenance can cause stuck energy.
It also affects your energy subconsciously, even if you feel like you don’t even see it anymore!
Keep your home in good shape and the Chi will circulate more freely and increase good fortune!
Home maintenance to the outside of your home affects the inside energy as well, so make sure you maintain your home’s exterior too!
Unfinished Projects
Unfinished projects in your home just remind you of all of the things on your to-do list.
They keep the energy in your home stuck in the same place, unable to move forward.
Rooms That Are Never Used
If you have rooms that are never used, be sure to go through them at least once a month.
Clean them, air them out, open the windows and curtains, and stir up the good Chi!
For even better…
