The kitchen is a place for cooking, with water and fire. In Feng Shui, the incompatibility of water and fire can easily have a bad impact on the home. So how do we do good kitchen Feng Shui? If you don’t know, let’s take a look at the taboos of kitchen Feng Shui!
Feng Shui teachers usually recommend placing the kitchen in the four evil directions of the parent’s natal hexagram, which will help suppress the evil spirits of the evil directions. The yang energy generated by the fire can adjust the bad energy of the bad side and improve its feng shui. The kitchen should also be located in the back half of the home, as far away from the door as possible.
As mentioned earlier, the kitchen is a situation where water and fire are in conflict, but if the two can be balanced to achieve an economical situation of water and fire, it can promote the harmony of kitchen feng shui.
In Feng Shui, the kitchen is defined as a yin area, where food is stored rather than a place frequently used by the whole family. However, if you use a corner of the kitchen as a dining area, you can increase the yang energy of the kitchen and balance the yin and yang in the kitchen.
The use of mirrors in Feng Shui has both positive and negative effects. The correct arrangement of mirrors can promote or improve the feng shui situation, but if it is improperly arranged, it will cause great harm to the occupants. One of the taboos about hanging mirrors in the kitchen is that the mirror cannot shine into the fire. If the mirror is hung on the wall behind the stove and shines on the food in the pot, the damage will be even greater. This is called "Tianmen Fire", which will cause fire or misfortune to the house. On the other hand, if a mirror is hung in the dining area to reflect the food on the table, it will double the wealth of the home.
Cooking utensils should not be placed in front of or under the window, as this symbolizes the helplessness of the family.
Cooking utensils should also not be placed under beams. If you cannot change the position of the furnace, you can hang two bamboo flutes on the beam with a red rope to resolve the evil spirits. Cooking utensils should also not hit the sharp corners of cabinets or tables, or face stairs.
The water vapor produced by the sink conflicts with the fire vapor from the gas stove. Therefore, the gas stove cannot be connected to the sink or refrigerator. The gas stove cannot be placed next to the sink. The stove should not be placed independently in the center of the kitchen, because too much fire in the center of the kitchen will lead to mismatch in the family.
The so-called stove mouth originally refers to the fuel inlet of the stove. For modern gas stoves, it refers to the gas inlet, located behind the ignition switch. The mouth of the stove should be as far away from the angry side of the host or hostess as possible.
If due to limitations in kitchen design, it is impossible to face the stove mouth in either direction of the parents, try to make the stove mouth face the mother's longevity side, which can enhance the harmony of family relationships.
Next, consider the display of kitchen utensils. If you use a microwave or electric pot, place it in one of your four lucky places. The sockets for electric cookers and microwave ovens should also be located on the Kyrgyz side. The same principle applies to toasters and simmering pans alike.
As mentioned earlier, the kitchen is a situation where water and fire are in conflict, but if the two can be balanced to achieve an economical situation of water and fire, it can promote the harmony of kitchen feng shui.
