Hi Master, is this a matter the joining at stove?

And also change the cooking gas stove to induction any concern for me. Thanks

In the past taboo not to use with flames. But for the last 12 years, no major taboos. And since then many clients do use induction only. Not all… but many

Feng Shui Guidelines for the Kitchen - By Master Cecil Lee

The kitchen is a vital part of any home in Feng Shui, symbolizing nourishment, health, and financial stability. Proper stove positioning is crucial, as it represents the “heart” of the kitchen. Here are Master Cecil Lee’s Seven Principles for Stove Placement, along with additional kitchen Feng Shui guidance:

Master Cecil Lee’s Seven Principles for Stove Positioning

1. Command Position
The stove should be positioned so the cook can see the entrance to the kitchen while preparing meals, but not directly in line with the entrance. This empowers the cook and helps prevent surprise disturbances.

2. Avoid Direct Line with Doors
Never place the stove directly aligned with the kitchen door, backdoor, or even the main entrance. Chi that rushes in can disturb the stove’s energy, impacting the health and harmony of the household.

3. Distance from Sink and Refrigerator
Keep a safe distance between fire (the stove) and water elements (sink and refrigerator). If they must be next to each other, use a buffer such as a countertop or a potted plant to harmonize these opposing energies.

4. Back Support (Solid Wall)
The best position has the stove’s back against a solid wall, which symbolizes strong support for the family. Avoid having windows directly behind the stove, as this represents instability and lack of support.

5. Avoid Overhead Beams
Do not install the stove under an exposed overhead beam. The oppressive energy (“sha qi”) from the beam can cause tension and health problems for those using the stove.

6. No Adjacent to Toilet or Bathroom
Never place the stove against a wall shared with a toilet or bathroom. The negative energy from these spaces can affect food quality and family well-being.

7. Avoid Center of the Home
Do not position the stove in the exact center of the house—this spot is known as the “heart” and should remain calm and balanced. A centrally placed stove creates too much heat and disrupts the equilibrium of the property.

Additional Feng Shui Tips for the Kitchen

- Keep the kitchen clean and clutter-free**, especially the stove, as it represents your family’s health and wealth.
- Use bright, natural lighting and good ventilation** to encourage healthy Qi flow.
- Position the stove burners evenly**; using all burners distributes opportunities equally among household members.
- Avoid mirrors facing the stove, as this doubles the fire element, leading to excess energy and potential conflict.
