Situated between the kitchen and the living room, the dining room combines the qualities of these two other rooms in practical as well as symbolic terms. In an obvious sense, we nourish ourselves and interact socially in the dining room. From the perspective of feng shui, the dining room's condition provides clues to understanding both your social life and your finances.

If you don't eat in your dining room very often, you may experience limited social activity or stagnant finances ( unless your kitchen, living room and/or study indicate otherwise). A cluttered dining room-especially one that is also used for other purposes-can suggest confusion, stress or discord in both areas of your life. If your goal is to improve either your social life or your financial picture, you can apply feng shui in your dining room as well as in the kitchen and/or living room.

The dining room also affects your health, because food is consumed and digested here. A peaceful, congenial environment is conducive to good digestion, therefore some feng shui cures for your dining room are designed to promote harmony.

A round table is a good choice if you want to encourage togetherness adn cooperation among family members or to improve relationships with friends or busines colleagues because circles represent unity and wholeness.

Rectangles, because they are longer than they are wide, suggest movement and growth- use a rectangular table if your goal is to attract wealth or increase your vitality.

What you eat and how you serve your meals are also important considerations. Pay attention to colour, aromas, tastes and ambiance as all these factors contribute to your health, wealth and happiness.

Of course many apartments and some small homes don't have dining rooms. This does not mean you won't have any friends or money. Simply apply the appropriate feng shui cures in the area of your home wher eyou eat you meals.
