Although you might have taken special care to decorate your home according to feng shui practices, it's also important to pay attention to the building materials that were used in your home's construction. These materials can have a marked impact on the level of chi energy in your home.
Even though you might not be able to change some of these materials, it's good to be aware of them. In some cases, there may be things that you can do to counteract some of the overall effects of these materials.
Metal and Glass
If you have one or more areas of your home that tend to be stagnant in terms of energy flow, metal or glass could be the perfect solution.
Because of the yang nature of metal, it helps to increase the speed of chi energy. Large expanses of these materials can have a particularly powerful effect.
Synthetic Materials
Synthetic materials such as plastic should be used carefully throughout the home, due to the fact that they tend to block the free flow of chi.
If you're trying to encourage more positive energy in your home, it's generally a good idea to limit your use of synthetic materials. Instead, try using more natural materials.
