Frequently Asked Questions
Why do curved pathways matter more than straight ones in feng shui?
A straight pathway leading directly to the front door is believed to let energy (chi) rush too quickly toward the entrance, similar to a fast-moving arrow. Curved or meandering paths are traditionally preferred because they let energy slow down and circulate more gently before reaching the home.
Which direction should water flow in a garden?
Water features are traditionally positioned so water appears to flow toward the house rather than away from it, symbolizing wealth flowing in rather than draining out. A fountain or stream angled away from the home is generally discouraged for this reason.
Are thorny plants always bad in a garden?
Thorny plants like roses or cacti aren't considered universally bad, but they're generally discouraged very close to entrances, windows, or seating areas, since their sharp, pointed energy ("sha chi") is believed to create low-level tension right where people pass through or relax most.
