Feng Shui

Feng Shui (pronounced “Fung Shway“) is the ancient Chinese art of placement.  Feng Shui literally translates to mean Wind Water and is represented by the symbols depicted here to the side.  Feng Shui can be used to improve your life by implementing Feng Shui principles which improve the flow of Qi (pronounced “Chi”) or life energy that is present in all things.  It is believed that this energy can become stagnant and that simple changes in our environment can unblock the flow of energy and improve our circumstances.

Feng Shui decorating can be used to bring more love, health or money into our lives.  Many of the Feng Shui cures are practical ideas about where objects can be placed in and around our homes to make them look more esthetically pleasing, safe and functional.

Anyone can use good Feng Shui to make the positive changes they want in their lives.  One of the primary tools of Feng Shui is the Bagua (pronounced “Bah Gwa”).  The Bagua is an eight sided diagram that includes eight elements that correspond to eight important areas of our lives.

Bagua

When objects around us are arranged in a way that allows Qi to flow properly then we will experience more success and fulfillment in all areas of our lives.

Feng Shui can be used in the home and workplace.  Many modern buildings are designed and decorated using Feng Shui principles.  There are many fun and easy ways to use Feng Shui to make our living, working and playing areas more enjoyable.  You’ll find many good Feng Shui ideas here and please feel free to comment on ones you have tried and like.

I’m looking for a general book to outline the basics of this ancient practice. I want to do it to my bedroom and office. I heard if you do this properly you will make more money too. Is this true? Please just give me the name and author (if possible) of a book you read and liked and why you liked it. Thanks!

I am a certified Feng Shui Practitioner black hat sec.
When I went for training one of the recommended books for us as reference believe it or not was Feng Shui for Dummies.
Found this rather interesting but in reading it gives very black and white explanations to questions you have.
There is also a book by Carol Bridges A Soul In Place, reclaiming home as a sacred space you might find interesting. Carol Bridges runs seminars and training sessions in Nashville IN A wonderful and insightful experience.

I only have two positions for our bed. The first is to put the bed on a wall next to the door, and our toes point to a window. The second is to place the bed diagonally across from the door, but with our heads infront of the window. (This one looks better.) I would like to know which one is better for us, and how do we cure the problem. We have not had good sleep in a long time, so any help would be appreciated.

Never let your bed face (in which your head/feet) point at the door. It is absolutely the worst position you can put your bed in. In chinese customs, this is how the dead are laid out. Additionally, your bedhead should be placed flat against the wall: if your bed is ‘floating’ or doesn’t have a proper back to rest on, it leads to lack of stability in life.

Go with the first solution: put the bed on a wall next to the door. When sleeping, try to make sure the curtains are closed to cover up the window.

Honestly, neither positional layout is considered good, but at least the first solution can remedied.

As for having better sleep:
Don’t have too many reflective objects (mirrors, tv) exposed in your bedroom. The reflective surfaces will stimulate the existing chi, preventing a proper environment for rest and recuperation. Should you have them, try to cover them up with a dark clothe when it’s close to sleeping time.

Hope this info helps :)

http://bit.ly/fsprgm Feng shui, literally translated from the Chinese, means “wind, water” and traditionally symbolizes the space between heaven and earth the environment where we live.

The philosophy recognizes that house and garden should work together relative to life, health, wealth and happiness. In Hong Kong, the capital of feng shui, the ancient knowledge survived the Cultural Revolution that swept over Mainland China during the 60s and 70s.

This film looks at the roots of feng shui with masters demonstrating how the ancient Chinese science is still deeply rooted in the everyday lives of people living here. To them feng shui is much more than simply a new trend in interior design. The influence feng shui has on their lifestyle and the mentality of Hong Kong people is told through comical, unusual and everyday stories. For example, you will see an apartment building, in the Aberdeen quarter, that has 400 square meter hole in the front, so that the “mountain dragon” still has a view of the ocean.

We will observe well-known feng shui at work. This spans from the lot selection, the positioning and the conception of the house, straight down to details about the interior design. They offer their expertise on the best positioning for the front door, the suitable color of the walls and floors, right up to the positioning of a desk.

We are introduced, step-by-step, to the terms and categories of feng shui. On our excursion through Hong Kong, we visit the Wong Tai Sin monastery, which holds some of the most beautiful and oldest temples left untouched by the communistic cultural revolution. Priests and monks talk about the spiritual and scientific elements of feng shui. Their conversations will not only provide a closer look into the philosophical structure, but also the history, right down to the roots of feng shui.

My desk faces the door so that I can view everyone coming in and my back to the wall. Should my mirror go there or somewhere else?

Mirrors serve several purposes in Feng Shui. First mirrors reflect and deflect chi. Secondly, mirrors are used to draw in the energy of an object outside of the room.

It is not advised to have a mirror in your office at all. If you place the mirror behind your desk, which faces the door, you’ll be sending all the good chi out of your office. In fact, you’ll prevent chi from coming into the office in the first place. If you have a window in your office, you can not place it opposite the window, because it will send the chi out the window.

Why do you need a mirror in your office in the first place? If you really need a mirror, then place it on the wall that will have another solid wall opposite it. This way, you are not sending any chi out. However, with the presence of a mirror the chi will be constantly moving, which means that you will lack focus while at work. Therefore, it is best not to have one at all, because mirrors cause more harm then do good.
