This is to protect yourself and your car while you’re on the road, to avoid bad accidents and to promote good Qi, or positive energy, throughout your driving experience.
It’s not hard at all to Feng Shui your beloved 'baby'! It’s easy, fast, and best of all the physical enhancers and cures you put in your car are unobtrusive.
Here's how you can start.
Feng Shui Tips for Your Car
Hang a bell. Some people experience lethargy and sleepiness as soon as they hit the road, due to the comforting lull of movement. Tie a red tassel with bells attached to ease this sudden fatigue considerably.
Red, a strong Yang color is known as a symbol of ‘healthy blood’ and it activates the bells’ curative properties. While the bells themselves, tinkling delightfully next to you, has strong cleansing properties to shake off the negative Qi that follows you right into your vehicle.
This tip is also especially good for drivers who need to go long distance – the pleasant tinkling of the bell will help keep you energized and clear-headed through the hours.

Keep the interior clean and fresh-smelling. Just as your living and working space, a clean and fresh-smelling car is essential to good Qi movement. Make a daily habit to throw away fast food wrappers, receipts and so on. Maintain a spotless, clean and nice environment within the car to nurture a good flow of health Qi.
And for goodness’ sakes, if you must light up please keep the cigarette smoke away from your car interior! Also, don’t clutter up the back seat with clothes and other items – this will detract the Qi from your car and instead be a welcome mat for unwanted bad Qi.
Use crystals. Crystals are wonderful facilitators to a healthy body and mind. I know some people who are even convinced that crystals have the power to cure chronic ailments! That aside, crystals are easy to maintain and they look very good just about anywhere in the car.
Other than its medicinal properties, take note that crystals are also great tools to break up and disperse stagnant Qi in your car. Remember to cleanse the crystals first in purified water and place them close by you in the car for optimum crystal energy!
Put a tiny dose of Yin Feng Shui to your car A small, fluffy cushion or two at the back seat promotes some light Yin energy to counter the excessive Yang energy of the road hustle and bustle; a ‘smidge’ of Yin magic ensures calmness and tranquility.
Utilize Feng Shui tassels. Tassels are great additions to the rearview mirror. Not only will it give your vehicle a subtle touch of Asian charm, tassels are well loved by the Chinese for its symbolic nature as well. Tassels that come with protection Feng Shui is also very welcome for the added safety measure.
Listen to chill-out music. Harmonious, smooth music is the way to go for a great ride. If the quiet, jazzier types make you sleepy, perhaps you are more suited to faster, catchier songs. Whichever music you fancy, do refrain from overly loud instruments and screaming vocals. This is because drivers tend to speed up and go faster on the lane in time with loud, fast music – this may be dangerous.
That's it for this month! I hope you find these tips useful.
