Let’s Keep It Real

Draw a tic-tac-toe grid on your floor plan. The center square is the Center Palace.


The Situation 🏠

Some floor plans have the bathroom right in the center of the house.

Translation

This places water and drainage energy at the heart of your home.

In feng shui, this is called “water in the heart.” It can affect the overall energy balance, and some practitioners associate it with digestive or circulatory sensitivities.


💡 Golden Tip

If your home has this layout, focus on keeping the bathroom exceptionally clean and well-ventilated. Small adjustments can make a meaningful difference.

Supportive Practices

  1. Keep the bathroom door closed when not in use
  2. Ensure good ventilation (an exhaust fan helps)
  3. Consider placing natural salt to help absorb excess moisture
  4. Maintain cleanliness and dryness

Feng Shui Practice

  1. Draw your home’s floor plan
  2. Draw a tic-tac-toe grid over it
  3. Check what room is in the center square
  4. If it’s a bathroom, consider implementing the supportive practices above
