Wealth Bathrooms
Many people have expressed concern to me about having bathrooms
in their wealth guas. First of all, there are cures for almost
all situations. I don't think anyone should feel nervous about
particular rooms being in certain areas of the house. The
bathrooms of today bear no resemblance to outdoor facilities
when Feng Shui first developed. Our bathrooms can be one of
the most lavishly decorated, expensive rooms of the house.
They make our lives more convenient and less stressful. (Anyone
want to go back to outdoor toilets?)
There are a couple things to keep in mind with a wealth bathroom.
Ch'i flows in much the same manner that air or water flows.
When there is a large drain, the Ch'i will flow down the drain.
The largest drain in our homes is the toilet. Thus the phrase
"flush your money away" accurately describes a toilet
with the lid up - particularly when it is in the wealth area.
But this also applies to a bathroom in other guas too.
Keeping the drains closed in a wealth bathroom will keep
the ch'i in the room. This means closing the lid of the toilet.
(Not to mention that it looks so much better closed than open.)
Closing all the other drains that you find in sinks, tubs,
and showers is important too. If you think it will be too
difficult to remember to close all the drains, you can cut
a 9" red string or ribbon and tie it around each drainpipe.
In the shower, you may have to purchase a flat rubber stopper
to place over the drain. This will keep the Ch'i from draining
away in the room.
Decorate your wealth bathroom lavishly with plush towels,
scented candles, and pictures on the walls. Using the wealth
colors of purple, red, or blue will further enhance the room.
If you are still concerned about the room, keep the door
closed and hang a mirror on the outside to symbolically make
the room disappear.
Wishing you abundant happiness,
Joy
