Alternative items for typical remedies

In Feng Shui there are items that are considered 'typical' enhancements to correct bad feng shui. These are not always practical in everyone's home, nor does everyone enjoy chinese themed decor. Below I have listed the top five items that are recommended by Feng Shui Consultants and alternative items that you may have in your house that will provide the same result:

1. faceted glass crystal ball on a red string to disperse energy in a stagnant corner:

Alternative: anything made of crystal, a vase, a candle stick holder, a wine glass, a necklace

2. candles to add the fire element:

Alternative: any light, any item that is red, a picture of a candle

3. wind chimes to welcome positive energy into a home:

Alternative: a flag, a 'welcome' sign, a beautiful healthy blooming plant.

4. mirrors to double your abundance or to detract negative energy:

Alternative: any reflective surface such as silver platter, trays, thick glass

5. chinese coins to promote wealth and abundance:

Alternative: any money from any region

Your home does not need to look like the neighborhood chinese restaurant to have good Feng Shui. In fact, the BEST Feng Shui is the one that is not so obvious to the observer.
