Eastern practice of space development can tell a lot of interesting things about the correct placement of furniture and interior items. The topic of today's conversation is the location of the toilet on the site according to Feng Shui, because this room, according to ancient teachings, plays a far from secondary role. Let's figure out where and how best to place a bathroom in the country so that it does not attract negative energy into the surrounding space.
Energy of the bathroom
The toilet itself, like the bathroom, is associated with the element of water, which means that if it is not positioned correctly, something will invariably “leak” from you. So, for example, if the toilet lid does not close or there is a leak in the tank, this threatens the owners of such a bathroom with a loss of energy. Improper placement of the toilet room can lead not only to health problems, but also to financial instability.
Modern builders practically do not think about harmonizing space, so you can often find housing layouts that are completely incorrect from an energy point of view. But, if it is sometimes not possible to move the “latrine” in a city apartment, then according to Feng Shui of your summer cottage, you can place the toilet where you want, since you are arranging your country house yourself. And this is a big plus.
Feng Shui for the bathroom and toilet
How to decorate a bathroom and toilet according to Feng Shui to attract wealth
Naturally, the toilet and bathroom must be kept perfectly clean. Leaking taps are a symbol of lost money.
A window in the bathroom is by no means a luxury, but a necessity, as it allows you to ventilate the room and free the apartment from negative energies. The absence of a window in the bathroom is not a reason for despondency. It is enough to choose an air fragrance with a smell that is pleasant to all family members and use it regularly. From time to time, you can carry out energetic cleansing of the room using essential aromatic oils. Geranium, pine, and tea tree oils are perfect for this purpose. One drop of oil is enough to refresh the energy of the room.
The bathroom does not have a decisive impact on the financial situation, so it is enough to follow the general principles of its design, which allow not to disturb the harmonious flow of energy in the apartment. The location of the toilet is much more important. After all, it is from there that the water, and therefore the qi energy and your wealth, is regularly and intentionally “washed away.”
Feng Shui toilet
- The toilet is a powerful source of negative energy, so it should be as inconspicuous as possible, so the size of the toilet should be modest. The basic rule regarding the toilet is to always keep the door closed, as well as the toilet lid. Separate bathroom and toilet are preferable. If the bathroom is combined, it is advisable to separate the toilet from the bathtub with a low partition or screen. Also, the toilet should not be the first thing that catches your eye. This problem can be easily solved if you hang the door so that it “covers” the toilet, or fence it off with a screen.
- The worst option is a toilet in the center of the apartment, as it spreads negative energy throughout the living space. But even in this case, you can symbolically “hide” it, using the same tiles, mirrors, and even better - construction foil, especially on the external walls adjacent to the living rooms.
- The toilet must have good ventilation so that negative energy leaves the room faster.
- It is very important to know the direction of the toilet. A toilet located in the southeast will “wash away” your wealth, and a toilet located in the north direction will slow down your career advancement. If the toilet is poorly located, its door should be covered with a full-length mirror.
- Under no circumstances should an aquarium or fountain be placed near the toilet. Despite the fact that the aquarium and fountain are symbols of monetary luck, located next to the toilet, they will provoke losses.
Feng Shui bathroom
- The main piece of furniture in a bathroom is the bathtub itself. As a rule, it has a rectangular shape. However, if it is possible to purchase a semicircular or oval bathtub, it is advisable to do so. Bathtubs of this shape are good because they reproduce the curves of a coin, and this, combined with the element of water, symbolizing money, attracts abundance into the house.
- The dominant color in the bathroom should be white or very soft pastels, and bright and flashy colors are frankly inappropriate. White color also harmonizes perfectly with the bathroom and toilet, but you should not overuse it, as too much white makes us think unpleasantly about the hospital. If the bathroom is combined, then the bathtub and toilet should have the same color and style. It is advisable to lay the floor in the bathroom and toilet with tiles.
- Shelves, cabinets and nightstands in the bathroom should be combined with the overall style of the bathroom. The most important thing is that you need to constantly use them and keep them clean and tidy. In a bathroom that is filled with all sorts of little things - shampoos, lotions, creams, which are used only from time to time, energy will stagnate, and therefore create stagnation in financial matters.
- Seashells are ideal symbols of wealth for the bathroom. They can be placed on a shelf or glued to tiles.
- In the bathroom, it's good to hang a mirror or two inside. But do not cover the walls with mirror tiles. Such tiles will energetically cut the human body into pieces, creating a grid effect and restraining the flow of money into the house.
Let's pick up a compass!
One of the most important points in the Eastern science of harmonizing space is direction. That is why, when you arrive at your site, just take a compass with you to correctly determine the area in which you will need to build a bathroom.
According to Feng Shui, under no circumstances should a toilet be placed in the southwest and northeast. And these are not empty “horror stories” at all, but facts that have a specific justification. So, for example, the southwestern direction is under the protection of a demon in female guise named Nairuti and, if there is water in her “domain,” she is capable of harming a person through it.
It turns out that a toilet built in the southwest threatens health problems. According to another version, the southwestern side is responsible for relationships between family members, and the constant drainage of water in this area threatens conflicts and misunderstandings between relatives.
The north-eastern corner of the site is considered the divine direction, and the “latrine” has exactly the opposite energy, so nothing good will come of such an idea. The southeastern direction is responsible for financial flows. Of course, the location of the toilet in this part of the site can bury all your dreams of wealth.
North and south are not the worst, but, subject to other rules, they are quite acceptable options for the bathroom. The best place for the toilet is the west or northwest. If you have the opportunity to place a country toilet there, this will be the most optimal solution.
feng shui toilet bathroom in the southwest
The best location is in the northwest, possible - west, north, southeast, south.
The toilet should be located outside the main building.
The toilet in the house should not be located in the very center of the building, nor in the northeast, southwest.
NE – conjunction of Kuvera and Indra. This direction will weaken the financial situation and general state of affairs of the owner.
SW - makes a person indecisive and undermines his health.
Place the large window in the toilet on the N, and the small one on the E or W.
The drainage hole or sewer should not be in a southerly direction, but if so, it should not be very deep.
The toilet (although this is bad for health) in the toilet should be in the south, possibly in the west, northwest and should face N or E.
Mirrors can be on the C and B walls.
The toilet should be one to two feet above ground level.
The doors to the toilet should be in the east or north.
Cranes - should be located in the southeast, southwest.
The floor in the toilet can be made with a slight slope towards the east or north.
It is not advisable to use marble and tiles in the toilet.
The color of the walls is in light colors.
Digs immediately after choosing a site for construction.
Zone for the well - N or NE.
Energy lines (konasutras, nadis, vamshis and the line from the corner of the building to the corner of the plot) should not pass through the well.
The well must be square and deep.
The well cannot be divided into 2 houses, since it will be successful for some and not for others, although it is possible for both to be located in the north.
Should not be in the southeast, northeast, southwest.
The system should be one to two feet away from everything in the plan (it should not touch anything nearby).
Water should flow to the east or west.
You can place the sewer system in the northern corner of the western direction, but the distance between it and other objects (walls) is at least 1-2 feet.
Should not be higher than the base.
The water supply in the bathroom and kitchen should be from the east or north; water should not be to the south.
In toilets and bathrooms, the drain should be directed to the west or northwest.
The gutter should be in any direction except south.
Water on the top floor.
Should be in the west or southwest.
If possible, do not locate the system in the south-eastern part - this risks losing money.
But a location in the south will give good results.
The southwest location is good because this part of Lord Varuna is the patron of rain. In this case, there is no need to determine the location between the pipes and the walls at 2 feet.
If possible, do not place the pipes in the northwest direction. But if this is the case, you will have to limit the size and height, and such distances are 2 feet from the northeast corner.
It is advisable not to place the system in the middle of the building - you cannot live in such a house.
If possible, it is better not to use plastic.
Color - blue or black is better, and pipes connected to different parts should be painted in different dark colors (for toilet, bath, kitchen, drinking water)
“Manasara” recommends placing it on B, so that a person is washed not only by water, but also by the morning rays of the sun. Therefore, there should be windows on B.
If B is not possible, then on C.
Tilt the floor to the NE to allow water to drain.
The taps and shower are on the N so that the water flows to the NE.
The bathtub can be placed on the west side, with the headboard facing south.
The door cannot be on the SW.
Place the washing machine on the NW - there was a “washing stone” there.
The floor should be stone and not slippery.
In the bathroom, mirrors are located in the east or north, but not in the south.
Clothes should be in the northwest corner (closet location).
The colors of the walls and tiles in the bathroom should be white, light blue, and other colors in light shades.
Combining a toilet and a bathroom in one room is not desirable, but if this is the case, then it is better to locate this room in the west or northwest.
A separate bathroom (sauna) is located in the NE corner of the plot - with an electric stove and in the SE with a wood-burning stove.
Sha line
If you have chosen the direction where your toilet will be located at your summer cottage according to Feng Shui, it is worth thinking about the so-called Sha lines, along which negative energy flows. Experts in the harmonious organization of space recommend sitting on the toilet and mentally drawing an imaginary straight line in the direction of your gaze forward and the same line back, and then see what it will intersect.
It is very bad if this line crosses the bed, refrigerator, work and dining table. With this arrangement, it turns out that all the negative energy will fall into important places - on the marital bed or child’s bed, in the place of eating or in the work corner.
The consequences can be very serious. For example, the Sha line coming from the toilet and crossing the marital bed can bring disagreements to the life of a couple or problems in the intimate sphere. The matter may even end in divorce.
If one person sleeps on a bed where negative energy is directed, this can lead to health problems. There is a known case when a similar Sha line crossed the pelvic organs of a woman who regularly slept on the bed, and as a result the latter suffered several miscarriages. And a man whose negative energy passed through his neck during sleep received a serious injury to this area during a car accident.
It is extremely bad if there is a children's bed along the Sha line - babies are the most vulnerable to negative energy. If Sha is directed towards the desktop, you can be sure that fruitful work will not work in such a place. And of course, surges of negativity where people eat food threaten not only stomach problems, but also a general weakening of the vitality of household members.
If you have already chosen where to place the toilet in your country house according to Feng Shui, and it so happens that the Sha line runs through some important room in your house, just try turning the toilet diagonally to redirect negative energy to the side. If this is not possible due to the nature of the toilet, try slightly unfolding the structure itself.
Where are our doors?
Another important point: the toilet should not be located directly opposite the front door, as this promises all sorts of bad luck. But if you have already placed the bathroom in this way and nothing can be changed, just hang a large mirror on the outside of the toilet door - it will significantly reduce the negative impact of the bathroom on the lives of household members and guests of your country house.
It is also considered incorrect if the toilet and the front door “look” in the same direction - Feng Shui experts say that this makes people relaxing in the country vulnerable to various hidden influences.
Fire water
As we said above, the bathroom belongs to the water element, and it, in turn, conflicts with fire. Therefore, it is not recommended to place the toilet near places where there is fire, for example, a bathhouse, summer kitchen, barbecue or smokehouse. It is better to choose a location where there will be water nearby, for example, a small pond, a barrel for collecting rainwater, a well, a swimming pool.
Due to the opposition between fire and water, according to Feng Shui, a toilet in a summer cottage should not be decorated in fiery colors. Avoid red, orange, burgundy and yellow colors, and better give preference to “aquatic” shades: blue, cyan, turquoise, gray, dark green.
As you can see, finding the ideal location of a toilet on a site according to Feng Shui is not such an easy task. But, if you think carefully and take into account all the nuances, this can still be done. And most importantly, remember that you should always close the toilet with a lid - this will protect your family from leakage of vital energy.
Where to arrange a toilet according to Feng Shui?
Not south, but north
The specificity of any bathroom is the constant presence of water. It is clear that such a room would be completely out of place in the Fire zone, which is located in the south.
- It is best to give preference to the Water sector - this is the northern direction.
Maintaining a balance will have a beneficial effect not only on the health of the inhabitants of the house. The power of water provides financial benefits and prosperity. If the toilet in the house is located incorrectly according to Feng Shui, material stability will literally be “washed out” from the apartment.
East, not South-East
Water feels good in areas that are fueled by the energy of Wood. These are the East and Southeast, responsible for wealth and family happiness. But there is one important nuance here.
- According to Feng Shui, a toilet in the east will have a very positive effect on the harmonization of these spheres of life, but with the southeast direction everything is not so simple.
The south-eastern sector is very suitable for standing water, but running water can have exactly the opposite effect on financial investments - dripping taps and waste tanks are not welcome in such a place.
About doors
According to Feng Shui, a toilet should have a discreet, camouflaged entrance that does not attract attention, and the door itself should be kept tightly closed. Experts remind that negative energy accumulates in this small room associated with cleansing the body.
Entrance door and bed
- It is strictly forbidden to place a bed in front of the bathroom.
- Another bad Feng Shui idea is to have a toilet opposite the front door; this will definitely attract small and large disasters into your life.
