Quick Feng Shui Guide
What to Know First
The shoe cabinet, located in the entryway, serves as the first point of contact for "Qi" (energy) entering the home; proper placement can attract wealth. Three highly recommended items include:
...energy field.
Best moves
...wealth-attracting ornaments - such as a Maneki-neko (beckoning cat), Pixiu, or crystal ball - placed on the cabinet to enhance both aesthetics and financial luck.
Watch out
Important precautions: Avoid placing artificial flowers (which symbolize decline and a lack of vitality) or clutter (which obstructs the flow of energy) on the shoe cabinet, and do not position a mirror directly facing the main entrance (as it reflects wealth energy away). Keep the shoe cabinet tidy and well-lit so that the God of Wealth is willing to enter.
