By Erica Sofrina, author of Small Changes, Dynamic Results! Feng Shui for the Western World.In many traditional Feng Shui books you will read that bathrooms are negative places where they recommend shutting the door and pretending they are not there. Part of the reason is that bathrooms used to be rather funky places like out-houses, not anything like the beautiful spa-like bathrooms we enjoy creating in the west. My belief is that we should feel wonderful about every room in our home, and make them inspiring places to be. Feeling negative about anything comes from a lower energy that doesnt serve anyone.One of the reasons bathrooms have gotten such a bad rap is because chi (energy) is akin to water which flows down and out pipes and drains. The goal of Feng Shui is to invite into our front door vibrant chi, and have it circulate evenly around the home.Drains and openings are areas where the chi can escape and bathrooms have lots of them.On the next page, I will give you eight steps to creating a wonderful, vibrant and uplifting bathroom that will rejuvenate your soul and support relaxation in the body.
