The centre represents health and vitality and unity. It connects all areas of the space and acts as the heart point of the home. It also affects all other areas, so it’s important to keep this area clear of clutter so the Qi can flow to the rest of the home.

In Feng Shui, this area — known as the Tai Chi — is supported by the Earth element and helps anchor us in self-love, confidence, and overall wellbeing. A balanced centre supports clarity, harmony, and integration in all aspects of life.

If you are feeling burned out and run down, it is best to avoid burning candles or lighting fires here. The fire element creates warmth and ambience, but in Feng Shui, placement matters, especially in the heart of the home. Adding fire here, like lighting candles can disrupt that energy and stir up imbalance, like burning away your health and self-worth.

Keep this area, calm, clear and neutral, adding supportive earth inspired elements, such as fresh flowers or imager of such. Whatever represents health, vitality and unity to you!
