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 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.

I have a beautiful pond outside the front of my house, with a waterfall and the most gorgeous koi and comets ever. It is to the left of the door when looking out. My office is also to the left of the door, so that I look out on the pond from my office window. The waterfall faces diagonally outward, kind of facing the entrance and front walkway. Is this placement ok? If not, cures…? (I cannot change its placement now). Also, we have so many babies now that I wanted to separate them in a sort of "holding" tank until we seel them or give them away, so I thought of putting a smaller pond with a small filter in the foyer as you walk in, to keep the babies in there (cant do it outside cause its too small and freezes in winter) This one is only like 5′ x 3′, the steps going upstairs wind around it. Is this placement ok? Any thoughts on what I should put around it? I know too much water is not good, but I need a better place for the little ones!-thanks

Is this for you or the fish. My cousins wife drives him nuts with this stuff. She always wants the heaviest furniture moved to improve the ‘flow’. His ‘flow’ doesn’t seem to matter. I’m always teasing her telling her to just hang a mirror upside down. RScott

My bedroom is in the NE section of my home so I have placed my bed on a north wall but, this positions also places me above a garage, between 2 doorways, and facing two large windows . Is this good placement or should I move it to a different section. or what would the cures be.

Make sure that entrance to the room is visible from the bed
As long as your feet when laying in bed aren’t pointing towards and doors that’s fine.
Other than that it’s a knock down wall job or reconstruction altogether.

Is there any place in the house that’s good? Or is there a cure? I’ve had it in the relationship/marriage area of my wealth quadrant for years. Now that I think about it, I do seem to get in the middle of people’s dirty laundry. lol
I really want an answer in Feng Shui terms, not how I should ignore Feng Shui.

first, the bagua method that you read from books is not an authentic chinese fengshui method – i have taken many seminars from chinese fengshui masters, not 1 talked about this method. just think if this was a method, you cannot put your hamper or the toilet anywhere bec they will affect that aspect of your life in a bad way.

there are many methods in fengshui, bagua method is not 1 of them. there is flying stars, 8 mansions, etc.

you can put your hamper anywhere. and it will not have any significant effect on your life.

the most important thing in your house is the main front door of your house, which leads to the main door or outside. bec this is where the chi or qi comes in from the outside. so fengshui practitioners measure the facing degree of this door using a compass, and calculates the chi distribution inside the house locating the good areas and the bad areas inside the house. you can also use your birthdate to know which areas are good for you and bad for you to make it more personal. to make life easier, you need to use the good areas for kitchen, living areas, bedroom; while leaving the areas with bad chi for toilets, garage, pantry, or rooms less used.

there are many methods in fengshui. so when you bump into a problem using 1 method, you can always use another. it is even recommended to have 2 or more methods supporting an application/ fengshui solution – to make it more effective/ powerful.

The north, your career and life path suppose to be at the house main door.What if my main door is in the west? I don`t know which way to use to feng shui my house, the bagua cure or cure it where the house`s North, South, East and West?

first the bagua is not a cure-all; it is a powerful tool. it is also deadly to the people living in the house, when it is used inside the house – the bagua is never placed inside the house! it is usually placed outside the house. there are other remedies in place of the bagua, like the modified abacus, please my master’s article: www.fengshuisos.com, click on articles.

next, i think you are talking about black hat fengshui. i only know about the original authentic chinese fengshui which my master teaches me. i do not really know what you are trying to achieve by this. but the best way to change your life is get a fengshui auditor/ master to do the right solutions for your house.

I need to find a "cure" for my ailing business.

hope this can help….

trying my best.

If this is bad then is there any cure for it please?

I wouldn’t recommend it just because you’d have random kids jumping in, trash thrown in, etc.
Not worth it.

I have been feeling bedridden tired for years now. I have moved twice in the past 9 years, in those homes, new & used I have been feeling drained, pains, irritable & nausea. It’s getting worse. I sleep more(7 to 9 hrs) than I used to because before I didn’t sleep much, however, I feel a need to pass out sometimes early at night or in the afternoon, it’s uncontrollable & scary. No doctor over the years can find a cure, they call any cure they can’t treat, "Stress". I disagree did everything to feel better, the only thing I can’t do is constant exercise because I am too weak for that! I’ve seem many doctors, emergency rooms, acupunturist, vacations, etc & no luck. The house I moved into recently is new. I have had this burnout problem for years though. People say I have the evil eye because I am doing well for myself & despite the troubles, I still look good. A lot of people envy me.I am desparate & if I will have stress, it’s due to not finding a solution to this constant lack of energy

Have you looked into the conditions known as chronic fatigue and chemical injury? What you describe is common to both.

It could be something like your body has a hard time breaking down synthetic chemicals. Most people do; some of us are disabled by it, others get cancer or asthma or depression.

Try getting rid of all of your household cleaning chemicals. Use vinegar and baking soda instead, that’s what our grandmothers used and it worked just fine. Also use personal care products from the health food store — try especially to avoid ingredients with -paraben etc, those are derived from petroleum and cause a lot of problems. So do synthetic fragrances, which are also derived from petroleum. Would you expect to stay healthy if you wore gasoline all day?

New homes can be the source of the injury because of all of the formaldehyde, paints, etc that are used.

If this is what’s going on for you, then learning how to live with fewer toxins will help far more than feng shui.

Strength and good luck.

I have been teaching myself by buying books but would like to learn more detailed information such as:
Creating a Lo Shu grid for person and home
Fixes and cures
How to use complex compass tools.

I would love to consult but want to apply to my life and home first, where is the best school to attend or online? I am english speaking only.

Thank you.

i am practising Hong Kong fengshui under So Man Fung teachings.

Fengshui originated from China and it might contains a lot of mistakes over all these 2000 years.

i believe that it is better if you can divide the L into 2 regular shaped rooms than putting a mirror. better yet, you can make a incorporate the lacking part with a garden, or a sun room.

just remember that a remedy with mirrors are usually negative turned neutral, not really into a positive.

the beams are on the ceiling and run throughout the width of the screened in part of the outdoors family room. there are about 8 beams in all, AND there are at least 2 beams that run perpendicularly to the 8. AND a central supporting pillar.

I’ve attempted to "cure" the pillar by draping it with a gauzy curtain and a decorative line of papier mache. and "attempted" to cure the beams by hanging a bunch of paper asian "party lamps (no light)" off of most of the beams. and a wooden wind chime. it still seems sort of "wrong".
any advice?

nobody uses the room, i think because of bad feng shui. need more cures i guess.

thanks in advance.

Take down all the lanterns and curtain and everything you have that draws so much attention to the pillars. Instead, hang just one wind chime, a simple glass one, and hang a few potted plants, like ivy and pothos. Plants are a great cure for anything. They bring life and air to the room.
Meaningless clutter is not good for a anything. Hope that helps.

I’ve just purchased a house (1905 Craftsman) with 8 overhead support beams in the bedroom. These beams run horizontal and take up literally the length of the bedroom. I have to put a bed in there somewhere and I can’t cure each of these beams with hanging flutes (That would mean literally 16 hanging flutes! What an eyesore!). Does anyone have any cures or recommendations?

why is that people usually use a windchime, flutes, or a mirror to remedy something??? i don’t think these things are good esp in a bedroom.

if your ceiling is high, then, i do not think that it will affect you. the only bad thing about an overhead beam is that when you lie down, do you feel the psychological "pressure"? if you don’t, then you are alright. though you can use a canopy (bed) to cover it up.
