In ancient times, bathrooms were a place of uncleanliness and possible illness.

In feng shui, thewater elementis related to your prosperity and how energy comes to you.

With all of this in mind, its important not to be fearful of any particular bathroom location.

You need a bathroom in your home!

Its a really convenient aspect of our modern homes, and bathrooms can be places of rest and rejuvenation.

Taking a nice bath or shower can be invigorating and uplifting.

In feng shui, we have something called the bagua map.

This isnt the most ideal position, because obviously you dont want to have wealth draining out.

This plant can receive the water and transform it into uplifting qi, rather than something that drains away.

The front door is the mouth of qi, which means it is how energy enters your home.

This will energetically erase the bathroom and minimize any possible negative effects.

The center area is very important because its the center of the bagua and the center of your life.

When you have a bathroom in the center of your home you will want to correct it.

Another way is to paint it the color blue or green to bring in thewood element.

The far right corner will be your relationship area.

This area is related to your primary relationships, your feminine side, and your self-love.

First, you could place a mirror on the ceiling above the toilet to lift the qi.
