Did you know you can use Feng Shui to enhance bookshelves? Marla Stone, MSW and Declutter Your Strategy expert, says, “Yes, you can Feng Shui your Bookshelves.” Use the Bagua above as your template. Place Bagua upright in front of your bookshelf so you know where your books can be placed to Feng Shui the bookshelf. So, when facing your bookshelf, big or small, rectangular or square, simply divide the bookshelf into nine (9) equal parts.
The far left-hand corner on the shelf’s top is for all your money books. This is where you would put books by billionaires, smart financial people, or books that state something positive about gaining wealth.
The middle top of the shelf is where you place awards you have received, and you can put a little décor into the shelf that signifies fame and recognition of you and your family. Any bright-colored books on what you are famous for or what you would like to be recognized for can also go into this area.
The top right-hand side of the shelves is where all the Love and Romance books go. I do not recommend Romance Novels since they can actually create depression if you become too involved in them. But go ahead and put Romantic Poetry, anything shaped like a heart or red or purple décor.
The middle left of the bookshelf is an excellent place to put some family pictures since that is the family area, where you can put “getting along with family” books, and books related to family ties.
The middle of the shelf is for spiritual books, spiritual awareness books, and books related to health and happiness.
The far right middle is for Children’s books, books that promote creativity, art books, or any books that make you feel more creative. This is also a good place for artwork décor.
The bottom left is for books that increase your skills and knowledge. This is where you put books or information on a subject you want to improve on.
The middle of the bottom of your shelf is where you put books related to your career or building a career, and last but not least, the bottom right is for books related to helping people or support books that uplift you and help you feel more supported. It could also be a great place to put books from your ancestors, pictures of angels, or uplifting spiritual leaders.
Organizing your bookshelf according to Feng Shui Principles helps you get organized and feel organized and impacts the nine areas of your life that Feng Shui addresses.
Take some time to Feng Shui bookshelves, and your life will Change!
