Although feng shui is an ancient concept used many years ago, it has also been modified to suit the modern lifestyle. One of these modernizations is the use of clocks in feng shui.

In our busy homes and modern lifestyle, a clock is a necessity. Alarm clocks are needed to wake us up and get us ready for work, they are necessary to advise when to pick up your children. They are also required to tell us when to slow down or when we should be more active. Clocks help regulate routine in our lives.

Clocks in feng shui have many uses and abilities. There are preferable places in which to situate your clock, and also some areas of your home where a clock should not be placed. The best areas of your home to place a clock are the kitchen, living room and the office. These areas are the busy areas of a home, where clocks are needed as they represent time passing.

Don't place too many clocks in your bedroom. Try and have just the small one used as an alarm and preferably used wind up or battery power. An electric alarm clock, the same as televisions and electric blankets, emit electrical currents even when they are turned off. If you must have an electric alarm, place it as far away from your head as possible. Don't have too many clocks in your bedroom as it is an area for rest and rejuvenation.

Any clock that has flat battery's or is broken, must be repaired or removed immediately. A broken clock will represent stagnate time. In life we want to move on and up, not go backwards or nowhere.

Another important factor to consider when placing clocks according to feng shui, is to not have them face the front door. Upon opening the door and facing a clock, you will feel at edge as soon as you sight it.

Avoid placing your clock in the East area of your home, especially metal clocks. The East element is metal. The East direction represents family and health. By placing a metal clock you are over powering your east sector, which can cause family to move on or health problems to arise.

The most important thing to remember when considering using clocks and feng shui, is do what makes sense. The greatest thing about feng shui is that once you understand some of it's elements and rules, they do make a lot of sense in regards to modern life.
