Applying the energy

The basic idea of using these 8 sectors of the house is to spend more time and plan important activities in the lucky sectors, and less time in the negative sectors. If not possible, place the major furniture so the person is facing the lucky directions. Important furniture includes bed, sofa, stove, desk, and alter for god if you are religious. The facing direction of the door is also an important consideration.
