Do rough corners hurt you?
Rough edges are a feng shui trouble spot. Many times these borders are easy to miss and can be hidden. Sharp edges and corners can come from doors, square columns, shelves, cabinets, even furniture arrangements.
In feng shui, strong, rough edges are similar to knife blades, and their energy should be treated that way. However, some edges are worse than others. Edges that point to the rear, such as those on shelves behind a desk, or the neck of shelves on a wall or open cabinets, are considered especially dangerous.
Look around your home and office to see if there are any knife edges pointing at any important places, like your bed, your desk, your dining room table, or anywhere you spend a lot of time. Next, consider whether exposure to these rough edges is worth the risk. Most of the time, through a simple rearrangement, you can keep the shelf or cabinet without having to get rid of it.
Protective feng shui is one of the first steps to take when looking to improve the feng shui of a home or office. Protecting yourself from the dangers of rough edges should be on your checklist so no one is left unprotected or exposed. Read the tips below for more ideas on how to handle damaging edges.
1. Never place shelves above your head.
This type of shelves can put pressure on the head. If they are plain boards, the sharp edges of the boards can be detrimental. Placed on a desk or against a wall, a sharp edge above your head will make it difficult to think clearly or make good decisions due to the pressure exerted. Take them off and put them somewhere else.
2. Beware of raised or tray ceilings.
These are very popular in home construction now. If you have one of these on your head while you sleep, you may feel pressured, have a headache, or have trouble sleeping. You might even have financial difficulties. Try moving the bed away from this edge or create a canopy that covers the edge with fabric.
3. Be careful with the shelves.
Shelving should never be directly in front of or behind you. This can cause confrontation and backstabbing, especially if these racks are at work. Move the shelves so they are not in line with your body. This is especially important at work or while sleeping.
4. Avoid bookshelf headboards.
These have LOTS of sharp edges and are not good for you. In addition to fuzzy thinking, you could also suffer from head ailments ranging from sinuses to poor vision to headaches.
5. Notice the L-shaped arrangements.
These types of arrangements create the effect of “knife” or “axe”. The long side is the “blade of the knife”. Where do you see these? In L shaped desk arrangements where the long blade of the knife is usually your desk! Separate the furniture. Do the same with sofa arrangements as well.
6. Square columns have rough edges.
Hang a 6-rod hollow wind chime in front of the column to raise the energy, or place a vine at the bottom to grow around the column, or place a tall plant, curtain, or screen of some kind in front of the column. column. These columns are very dangerous if they are aimed at your table, your bed, and worse, at your front door.
7. Wall shelves create knife blades.
Wall shelves, especially those at neck height, act like guillotines. Make sure they are covered and not above your head or neck, especially if they are located where you work or stand a lot (for example, next to a stove or sink). Blades to the head can cause very serious losses.
