Do Kitchen Fixtures have own vibes/fields/feng shui?

[Ambrose]

Hi guys,

I am probably posting this in a non-ideal category, but couldn't find an ideal one so if the Admins move it elsewhere, thank you very much!

It has to do with what I feel every time I decide to "feel" the vibe of the primary kitchen fixtures - namely the oven, especially its top & elements, and the kitchen sink.

Namely, I have long felt that cooking food, especially in a pan on the top, energises me and improves my sense of optimism and energy level almost immediately, while also calming me down and giving a "Zen" satisfaction.

However, I've today accidentally stumbled upon a comparison, pretty easy to do if you have a small kitchen - the two elements are just a couple of steps away - between how the Oven top, and how the sink make me feel when I am in their immediate vicinity.

I've done some highly non-scientific open eyes, closed eyes, "mind wide shut" type of perception gauging, and every time, without exception, I got the consistent and strong vibe from each. Namely, the oven feels like a Chi-type energy source, which powers me up on some psychic level. In a way, a major Yang source. Whereas... the kitchen sink feels like a huge energy DRAIN (pun not intended, but possibly highly relevant) that makes me feel both grounded and more pessimistic/fearful. Like a major Yin source of kind.

Note: I've also tried this with the Bathroom Toilet Bowl, where the "energy Sink effect" seems to feel even stronger!

Now my own speculation is roughly along the lines of - perhaps those are linked to some elemental archetypes providing the "house archetype" of the actual house with primary energy flows? (and, as an aside, I think this might help explain why I like cooking, but hate tidying up the dishes afterwards (lol!))

My question to the other board members I guess is, has as anyone, be they among those who ever had any interest in things like Feng Shui or not, ever tried this same experiment? If so, have they obtained similar, or different "mental" results?

Hello Ambrose, I've not felt the energy of my kitchen appliances myself but a quick Google search on Feng Shui and the arrangement in the kitchen has led to some interesting tips on the oven and sink placement.

1.Is your stove beside the sink or refrigerator-

Fire and water fight each other so the placement of the stove and sink should be in such a manner that they are not next to each other .

If you have no choice try putting a small plant or pot of herbs or something green in between.separation screen such as a sheet of frosted or decorative glass panel can be used to block direct view yet maintain translucency.The stove must be at least one foot away from the sink

The kitchen should have sufficient lighting.
It should be airy and spacious.
Do not place the stove either next to or directly opposite the sink or refrigerator. This is because of incompatibility of the water and fire elements.
The stove must be at least two feet away from the sink.
The mouth of the stove should face one of the best directions of the father of the family. This energises the stove, making the food cooked in it auspicious for the family.
Do not try to energize the kitchen with feng shui figurines or mirrors.
Kitchens should be nearer to the back door than the front door.
The kitchen should never be located in the middle of the home.
Good feng shui kitchens should take the orientation of the stove, oven and rice cooker into account. When auspiciously oriented, the stove can bring enormous good fortune to a family.
The kitchen stove should not be in the northwest sector. This is called “Fire at Heaven’s Gate” and brings bad luck to the breadwinner, causing the head of the household to lose their job and money.
The stove should not face the main door or any bedroom door.
The stove should not be directly under an exposed overhead beam.
Stoves should not be placed directly under a toilet on the floor above.
The stove should not directly face a toilet door.
The rice cooker’s knob should not face the main entrance or door. It symbolises food flowing out of the house.

Perhaps you are picking up on the difference in Fire and Water energies associated with each fixture.

Hi lainey

It could very well be - but in saying that, I've only used the Feng Shui references as it followed upon my inability to categorise the post otherwise, and that seemed to be the closest match. My own knowledge of FS is very limited, but I would imagine that every physical and primal object that corresponds to a powerful archetype, such as someone's home, would need to have - or "attract" the makings of - its own energy grid, and for the grid to function there would need to be a "circuit" of some sort, with a (+) and (-) side, metaphorically speaking. And I don't want to mix this with the doors and windows "circuits" as the house Chi seems to interact with the "outer world" Chi that way, which could be something totally separate from the element-powered grid.

Either that, or the elements acquire these energetic properties through repeat usage in their (hopefully intended, in case of something like a toilet bowl) context.

But if we take the Feng Shui elemental reference further, what would be the examples of the other two types (Air or Earth) of fixtures within the house? I'm keen on giving their "fields" a go too on a day I feel above average perceptive, if for no better reason, then to see if the other two seem to emit yet another two distinct kinds of vibes.
