not so lucky as to be building a new home and your abode violates one or more of the don'ts listed above. Here's a new don't - don't worry. The steps to take in order to stop the chi drain from happening are simple enough and you can combat chi drain by implementing them.

* Always keep your toilet seat lid shut when not using it, as well as sink drains. This prevents loss of opportunity and money from escape of chi.

* Always keep your bathroom door shut for the same reason.

* Fix any leaky faucets immediately. A dripping or leaking faucet signifies wasting money.

* Keep the bathroom well lit, well ventilated, and clean.

* Use a black or red wrap around toilet rug to protect against wealth loss.

* Add the earth element to the bathroom by keeping a bowl of pebbles or vase of fresh flowers on the toilet tank to keep prosperity from escaping down the drain.

* If your bathroom is in the center of your home, you can combat the loss of positive chi by installing a full-length mirror on the outside of the bathroom door and always keeping the door shut. The mirror deflects any chi trying to escape, back into the home.

* If your existing bathroom is in an inauspicious section of your home, for example, the fame, prosperity, or wealth area of the Ba Gua, an easy feng shui treatment would be to paint the walls red which represents the fire element.

* If your existing bathroom is already in a better area of the Ba Gua, the best colors for your bathroom walls are light gray, cream, or pale blue.

In a nut shell, feng shui provides many treatments whether you're building a new home or your existing home has ill placed bathrooms. If you are planning a new home, you can work a more ideal placement into your design and start at an advantage. If you're already settled into your digs, by implementing a few simples changes in color scheme, organization, and mirror hanging, you can combat the effects of an poorly located bathroom. Although the bathroom gets a bad rap in feng shui, a few simple treatments can reverse its chi draining effects and help circulate more positive energy throughout your home.
