Many people love reading books and it is not uncommon to find bookshelves loaded with books in many homes. Reading books is not a bad habit. However, when books are kept in open bookshelves, they generate negative energy. In Feng Shui this is known as “shar chi” which literally means “killing breath”. This energy will affect the occupant of the room and may make him/her prone to diseases.

Avoid open bookshelves

The negative effects of keeping open book shelves may not be immediately felt. However, it will be observed on a long-term. There are two ways to correct this problem:

==> Do not keep open bookshelves in your home. This is not recommended as the second option is more beneficial.

==> Cover open bookshelves by installing doors (e.g. slide doors).

If anyone of the above is done, you will observe positive results.
