Similarly, how you place your TV at home also matters a lot. According to Feng Shui, placing the TV in the western sector of the room will activate your creativity and energize your children. As it is a metal sector, it will increase positive force.
Wind chimes can also play an important role. A chime has a cleansing effect since its ringing sound has the effect of vibrating the air which in turn stimulates the ‘Chi’ in the area. It is important that one should choose a metallic wind chime as it resonates well with a pleasing sound.
