Feng Shui and Numerology
By consciously positioning items of the number one through nine you can change the way you feel when you are in a room. Find a balance in your home by positioning odd and even number of objects.
Odd numbers are more yang, expanding energy, opening up possibilities and conversation. Meaning that stability is not as important as fun and creativity.
Even numbers are more yin, contracting energy and stabilizing it. Meaning you prefer things that are predictable, safe and structured.
The best is a room balanced with odd and even numbers placements to keep the energy flowing in an auspicious way.
