Feng Shui Broom Placement: In Feng Shui, every item in the house is considered to have a special significance. Just as plants, wind chimes or showpieces transmit positive energy, similarly, the broom kept in the house also affects the flow of energy.
Feng Shui does not consider the broom as just a means of cleaning, but sees it as a symbol, because it removes negativity and impurities. If the broom is kept in the right place and manner, it attracts wealth and good luck, but if kept in the wrong place, it can also cause financial loss and inauspicious results. According to Feng Shui, where should the broom be kept in the house, and what things should be kept in mind?
Importance Of The Broom In Feng Shui
In Feng Shui, the broom is a means of removing negative energy and purifying the place. It removes evil forces and prepares the house for positive energy. But it is important to always keep the broom hidden and in the right direction, because keeping it in the open can also remove auspicious energy.
The Right Places To Keep A Broom
- Store Room Or Cleaning Place: According to Feng Shui, a broom should always be kept in a storage room or any closed cupboard. This does not have any negative effect on the energy of the house, and it does not obstruct the positive energy coming from outside.
- West Or South-West Direction: It is considered auspicious to sweep the west or south-west corner of the house. This place is a symbol of stability and balance, so the broom kept here maintains the happiness and prosperity of the family.
- Do Not Keep It Straight On The Floor: The broom should always be kept standing straight against the wall or in the cupboard. Dropping it on the floor or keeping it upside down can increase the effect of negative energy.
- Keep It Away From The Main Door: Never keep the broom near the entrance of the house. By doing this, the positive energy coming into the house and Lakshmi stop from entering.
Feng Shui Tips Related To Brooms
- If negativity or discord is increasing repeatedly in the house, then it is auspicious to use a new broom.
- Buying a new broom and replacing the old one on Amavasya or the beginning of a new month invites positive energy.
- Always keep the broom in a secret part of the house so that it does not come into the sight of guests or family members.
Conclusion
According to Feng Shui, a broom is not only a means of cleaning but a medium to remove negative energy and attract auspicious energy. Always keep it in the store room, cupboard or south-west direction and avoid keeping it at the main entrance, kitchen or open spaces.
Keeping the broom clean, new, and standing helps in maintaining happiness, peace and prosperity in the house. A broom placed at the right place not only makes the environment of the house clean and positive but also contributes to the financial stability and well-being of the family.
