Daily Tussles and Arguments Among Inmates of the House.

After coming home we all want peace and relaxation and if there are constant bickering from members and fights among mother-in-law and daughter-in-law then the owner of the house does not feel relaxed and is always tired and feels energy drained. Feng shui links this to pictures and objects of violence in the house.
How does an animal painting or  a painting of war affect the atmosphere at home? Pictures have an influence on our mind and daily viewing paintings depicting negative emotions and war  will surely affect the mind of the inmates. Just like a happy painting influences our mood and uplifts the energy of the environment so also paintings of war, even though they may have religious significance, influence negatively the environment and mental status of the inmates.
If you notice arguments taking place very often among members of the family take a look at your external surroundings and inside of the house. You may find thorny plants outside or negative neighbours who constantly fight or are always in debt , then please avoid any contact with such people. Negative people have the influence more on our minds and such people are termed as 'energy suckers'. If your children and other members have some friends or colleagues who are negative then avoid communication with them. If it is not possible to totally ignore them then place a mirror on your front door with the intention of driving out negativity. All the negative energy from outside will be reflected back and will not enter your house.
In case you have sculptures of fighting animals like raging elephants, charging bulls or dried trees then it is a sure way to influence your mind and emit same emotions from you, thus resulting in you always being prepared to fight!
Paintings of the Mahabharata are displayed in many homes due to its religious significance but according to feng shui all paintings that depict fighting and war are a no no. The inmates will always be charged up and ready to fight on any occasion. One must also avoid watching television serials depicting violence and scheming in-laws. Remember the TV producers and serial actors are earning by acting, for them it is their living and they tax upon our emotions jus to bring thrill to the viewers. All this is not reality,  but watching negative topics will influence your minds and have a downward effect on your life.
In case you have such works displayed in your homes it is best to remove them. If they are of sentimental value you can always keep them covered and stored in the store room. If these problems continue try to replace all paintings with happy pictures of pairs of birds, fresh flowers, green trees and mountains. Fresh colours will influence the minds of the inmates positively and the atmosphere at home will be relaxed. Try to put up religious or symbolic paintings to protect the home. Symbols are available in different materials and though there are many options wood is the best for choosing a symbol to display on your front door. One can also keep freshly cut flowers in the living room as well as healthy plants near the door to encourage positive energy entering the house.
Try to keep the atmosphere at home relaxed with lights and soft music when the home owner enters as this will affect their mental status and in long term the business and prosperity of the home.

Feng Shui and Electronic Gadgets

Every home now has a TV , computer and other electronic gadgets. We are not aware that even these things have a presence of their own and emit energy. The radiations from them are harmful and one feels drained of energy from constant use and exposure to these.
The best cure in feng shui for minimising negative energy from these is to keep them covered when not in use. All reflective surfaces must be covered with a cover or cloth during nights so that they do not reflect back.Even electronic equipment like computer and music system must be kept covered when not in use. Nowadays it is in fashion to display big screen TV and people are not aware that at night this acts like a mirror and reflects all the energy back. Hence it is adviable to keep all reflective surfaces covered when not in use.
Also it would be best that all these equipments are placed in the west.as they are mostly made of metal and support the element of metal in the area of the house. It is also advisable to avoid having them in the bedroom as they may interfere with the sleep patterns of the inmates. They are best placed in the living room and in the west section. It would also be preferable to have them covered in a wall unit that has doors to avoid dust gathering in them. Feng shui promotes positive energy and does not advise having open door cabinets.
Latest interior decoraters and furniture shops have many wall units and  contemporary furnitures that are customised for requirements and also fit in the decor of the house. All the gadgets and music systems can be accomodated in the specialised wall units or cupboards that have special made to order compartments.
Though technology is advanced and we all long for more electronic equipmets in the home it must be remembered that humans by nature  love to be near earth and so this metal component of these equipments must be balanced so that they do not over power our earth element.
