FENG SHUI

Feng Shui, meaning wind and water, is an entire belief system concerning the role of natural harmony that dates back to Confucius and collectivism.

Beliefs related to property management include:

1. The stove and sink cannot be opposite of each other, as fire and water don’t mix. 2. Doors should open inward instead of outward so good luck does not exit.

3. Stairways should not lead to door, as this tempts bad luck to enter and good luck to leave.

VASTU SHASTRA

Vastu Shastra is a Hindu system of architecture believed to promote happiness and prosperity.

Beliefs of the system related to property management include:

1. Living space should be 3 feet above road level. This belief is traced back to protecting homes during Monsoon season.

2. The kitchen must face southeast, as it is important to face the Sacred East when cooking.

3. The Puja Room, the prayer room, must be in the northeast corner of the living space to maximize its auspiciousness.
