Problem

The concept of a passive house today represents a low-energy house that reduces heating energy requirements by more than 90%. If the concept of the passive house were to spread throughout the world, it would have an enormous impact on the conservation of energy resources. For some time it has been completely clear that the construction sector is one of the biggest culprits for pollution affecting climate change.

In the search for the greatest possible efficiency of energy consumed, the concept of the passive house has emerged, which represents very good possibilities in the supply of buildings for residential, commercial and other purposes. The passive house offers us a higher quality level of living. The next topic is the concept of feng shui.

Have you ever crossed the threshold of a house where you felt as if you were at home? Have you ever thought about the best years of your life and wondered how it all turned out the way it did? It could have been feng shui.

Simply put, feng shui teaches us how to create or maintain harmony in our environment. It is an ancient Chinese science and art of placement or dwelling that contributes to improved health, harmony, longer life, career and prosperity. The key to everything is energy (or Qi "Chee"). Below are 10 brief tips that can improve the flow, change and maintenance of energy ("Qi") in your life: – 1) Take off your shoes before entering your home.

Do not carry your problems into the house. – 2) Cook at least one meal a day and eat it at the table with your family. – 3) Never place knives on the kitchen counter (not even in holders). – 4) Always sit or stand facing the door (or mirror-reflected). – 5) Leave the toilet lid down and the bathroom and laundry room doors closed. – 6) Do not sleep under white blankets or covers. – 7) Do not sleep with your feet pointing towards the door. – 8) Do not sleep next to a wall with shelves on it. – 9) If your front door is in the same line as a tree by the house or the door of a neighbouring house, then place a Ba Gua mirror on the outside of the door (Today, bagua mirrors are octagonal in shape, with a metal or wooden frame that is painted green, red and gold.

They can be curved or flat. With bagua mirrors, it is not the glass that works, but the eight Chinese trigrams that represent the four main and four secondary sides of the sky. We hang them correctly so that the three unbroken lines of the trigram called heaven are at the top.

Solution and Method

We use them indoors, hanging them for example on the outside or inside of toilet doors to deflect bad energy; as well as outdoors for protection against sha. – 10) The above-mentioned mirror must never be inside the house, as it is supposed to have too much power.

Results

You have probably realised that some of the advice mentioned is quite ordinary and completely understandable. It is very likely that you have been using some of the principles of feng shui for many years without even being aware of it.
