Fengshui and Altar

The area where the altar is located is a sacred space for you and your family. In Fengshui, it is also an important decision as the energy of an altar can help to energize and strengthen the Chi in your space. The following is a few Fengshui tips for readers to consider before they place their altar.

1) An altar should have a solid backing, therefore please place your altar with its back against a wall.

2) Never place your altar under an overhead beam. If the beam is located at the left side of the altar (Green Dragon side), the luck of the male family members will be affected. Likewise for the females, if the beam is over the right side of the altar (White Tiger side).

3) Avoid placing your altar with a moving line below it, such as a busy road, corridor, drains or water pipes.

4) Avoid placing the aquarium (element of water) underneath or above the praying altar (element of fire) which will cause an excessive movement of Chi.

5) An altar table is preferred to be placed in a bright location.

6) An area which is quiet and free from noises makes an ideal location for an altar.

7) Avoid at all costs placing the statues on the ground or in areas such as cupboards or bathrooms.

8) Avoid placing an altar outside the bedroom in line with the bedroom door. The Yin Chi may slip into the bedroom when the door is opened. This is not conducive to good health.

9) Avoid using fancy rainbow colors for your altar

10) Having an altar is your personal and private practice. You too can keep your altar out of people view (especially you are a businessman).Some people may be offended by your beliefs.
