5. Mind your art!
6. Don’t create a triangular void in a wall corner.
7. The master bedroom and kitchen are sacred spaces.
8. Make your bed every day.
9. There should be no mirrors in the bedroom (or covered at nighttime).
10. Don’t have pointy plants in the house, they cut Chi energy.
11. Round leaves create wealth but do not place them in your wealth area.
12. Face the door of the room you’re in — be in the command position, if impossible, use mirrors.
13. Books and magazines you’re no longer using will create negative energy — the same goes for old clothing.
