What pictures can not be hung in the house

The founders of the Feng Shui teachings believe that human thoughts are material. If you think bad all the time, everything will be bad. And if you cultivate positive thoughts in yourself, then life will improve.

That is why it is not recommended to hang any images in the home that cause associations with decay, destruction, decay and poverty.

For example:

<br>• Ruins. Even a castle, even once luxurious. Ruins are ruins, they are a symbol of death. An excellent example is the painting by Vasily Maksimov “Everything is in the past”. In the foreground is an old lady dreaming of memories of former luxury, and in the background is a crumbling house with columns and a dry garden. Look, breathe, be glad that you still have everything ahead, and move on.

<br>• Broken dishes. Are any comments needed here at all? Broken cups, vases, plates are the most common symbol of quarrels, squabbles, ruined life, mistakes.

<br>• Broken or withered trees, withered flowers. If you constantly look at what life has left, you will not become an optimist. The constant reminder that everything is perishable drives depression.

<br>• Poverty in any form. Rags, humiliating postures – is this what you dream of? Firs Zhuravlev’s painting “Beggar Children” is a genuine work of art, but its place is in a museum.

<br>• Image of standing water. Feng Shui categorically does not accept ponds and swamps. The word “stagnation” has never had a positive connotation. Life-giving qi does not circulate in stagnant waters.

<br>• Images of any vices… All these “absinthe drinkers” usually end up badly. For example, they cut off their ear, paint their self-portrait with a bandaged head … And then their paintings are posthumously sold at auctions for big money, and the deceased author did not have enough bread during his lifetime … In a word, drunkenness, prostitution, drug addiction and other decadence should not flicker before through the eyes of a person who strives for purity, physical and moral.

<br>• Incomprehensible signs, letters, meaningless images. First, the inscription may have a bad meaning. Secondly, the constant feeling that you do not understand something will bring discord into the soul.

<br>• Pictures that you just don’t like. The subject of painting can be the work of a famous and recognized artist, it can be beautifully decorated, executed with impeccable taste, but at the same time it can tell you nothing at all. You are either bored, or anxious, or simply not at all. This means that this image cannot harmonize your universe and inspire you. Why would you live someone else’s life? Let at least a rug with swans on the wall, let any kitsch, but only you your soul sang it at the sight.

The Chinese philosophy of feng shui offers a lot of options for images that bring prosperity and development to a person’s life. For example, a plot with a road going into the distance. Or snow-capped mountain peaks illuminated by the sun. The mountain according to the theory of feng shui is a symbol of constancy, solidity. Or an elephant is a beautiful, strong animal, a symbol of wealth and stability.

The Chinese philosophy of world harmonization attaches particular importance to plants, in particular flowers. The favorite flower of the feng shui guru is the peony. The words “blooms and smells” literally bring to mind the sight and scent of this plant. Feng Shui theorists advise placing images of peonies everywhere, especially in the bedroom: this will inevitably entail the fall of the shackles of celibacy, passionate love, the awakening of sexuality in experienced spouses and, in general, a continuous fireworks of feelings.

Now let’s walk through the rooms.

In this room, you meet guests, reflect, communicate with family members. Images symbolizing movement are asked for in the living room: dancing people, running horses, flying birds, ships sailing on the sea, and so on. It will refresh your life and attract new energy.

If you have a common goal, a dream, hang a picture in your living room that will encourage you to strive for your goal. Thoughts are material, remember?

Are you planning to build a country house – select the image of the mansion of your dreams and place it in the most conspicuous place

An image of a hearth in which you just want to warm up is also suitable. Reproductions depicting fluttering butterflies promise profit – the fluttering of butterfly wings has a good effect on the movement of qi energy.

Forest landscapes (without lead clouds and broken trees) are also an option for the living room. Hang your favorite paintings in well-lit areas.

If the family is religious, spiritual stories will be appropriate in the living room.

Relaxation is what the picture in the bedroom should bring to you. No aggressive, battle scenes. And no framed volcanoes and waterfalls. The waterfall does not lull, it is a warlike state of water. Ponds and swamps kill sexual energy, we don’t need stagnant water here.

If you have already decorated the wall in the bedroom with loving peonies, you can add to them some romantic motives on your canvases: couples in love, cooing lovebirds, a beach flooded with heat with two walking figures.

This room is the first to receive hosts and guests, so here we need images that regulate the “good” energy flow and nullify the “bad” energy flow.

Landscapes will be good in the hallway, but depicting nature and the city not at sunset. Beautiful, non-aggressive animals (preferably in pairs), playing children – that’s what you need. For the inflow of monetary energy, a waterfall is suitable, but with an average force of falling water.
