Enhancing Feng Shui of your home or work space by  activating a few important walls is a unique but time tested approach, often adapted by the Senior Feng Shui Masters not just to overcome a negative space but also to activate good Feng Shui.

Think of your walls to be a blank canvas and one can use them to create auspicious energy and ambience which lifts the Chi of the place. Energy produced by walls can either by extremely lucky or depressing, hence considering the position, layout, design and sector of the wall; one can fine tune the space to resonate more positively.

The most important principle in Feng Shui is to have atleast one solid wall in a room as this is said to signify the abode where the positive spirit of the room stays and accumulates and is the foundation to the type of energy existing. Interaction of the one solid wall which can be a feature wall with the rest of the home is vital in enhancing the mood of the home.

There are quite a few sectors of the home where the important wall can be enhanced and out of them:-

• The wall that directly faces the main door - It is important as it decides the type of energy which comes into the home and a mirror on this wall is a taboo as it will bounce off the energy rolling in straight out of the main door. An auspicious image or even a blank wall is better than a mirrored wall. Choosing the colours on this wall according to the element of the facing direction of the door is important. The wall that faces the main door should always be welcoming and inspiring in décor, hence enhancing it through colours, decals or decorations would be appropriate.
• The wall directly facing the bed - should generate a feeling of comfort and soothing. It should not be overpowering with clutter or overly sized storage cupboards. Every night the last thing you see before you go to sleep and the first thing your eye catches when you wake up in the morning should be positive and inspiring. Hence this wall can be something which carries positive thoughts which can get imprinted in your mind which in turn leads to pleasant dreams too. Avoid placing images that are depressing, wildlife images, or images that induce nightmares.
• The wall that directly faces you at work - should also be a source of positive affirmations, hence having murals or decorations like flowing water or scenery that suggests abundance is a good enhancer.
• The wall behind you - at work is most important as it signifies the type of support you receive at work. Windows directly behind (if openable) are not considered good as the energy rushes out and is not quite lucky and you would lack support from the office. Avoid pictures of sharp-edged buildings or wildlife directly behind but more supportive pictures of landscapes or mountain terrains are considered good.

Most importantly having a wall with a happy picture of the whole family in the living room on such a prominent wall is a very powerful Feng Shui enhancer which simulates a feeling of togetherness and safety to the whole family.
