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.

our septic tank is located under our kitchen. i think this is not good, especially in feng shui. i know there are remedies/cures provided in feng shui. how can i remedy this without doing any renovation/reconstruction?

i dont think that there is a remedy for this. if the situation is the other way around – the toilet is above the kitchen, then a ceramic bowl placed just beneath the drain pipe wil do the trick. but here, i think the only solution is to move the kitchen.

on the other hand, the end result of having your kitchen built on top of a septic tank is that you or the breadwinner of the house tend to deal with illegal businesses. bec kitchen in fengshui is responsible for attracting money, having this on a septic tank, then this will attract money from a bad source like drugs, smuggling or prostitution.

but i just like to emphasize that the stove/ oven must be positioned correctly (facing), and must be located in a location where there is good energy combination, or the attraction of wealth wont be that successful.

Feng Shui, which literally means “wind” and “water”, is the ancient Chinese practice of harnessing the forces of nature to promote prosperity, harmony and vitality. Dr. Woo’s collection of paintings and limited edition graphics embraces these principles and how they influence the various domains of our life; namely architecture and living space, which in turn affects the life aspects of health, wealth, family, relationships, creativity, reputation, and judgment.

I have been in a relationship with my current boyfriend for about 6 months now. Lately I have noticed I have become a little bit jealous at times. I have repositioned my bed as best as I can.It is difficult, I have a studio apartment. We work opposite hours and dont get much time to our selves. I have a 2 year old daughter, that stays with me 95% of the time as well.Which cures and advice do you recommend to help with the jealousy issue, and help make our relationship stronger.He is a great guy and I would hate to lose him because of my jealousy.
I did change my sleeping direction about a week ago, and have been feeling much better.Though, I still seem to be a little jealous at times.

First of all, try to sleep in one of your favorable directions, but if you can handle it in your studio, try your Yan Nian direction. Its the best direction for relations.

If you doesn’t know your directions, you can look them up using this Feng Shui Calculator:

feng shui bed problems?

Posted on April 11th, 2010 in Feng Shui cures | 3 Comments »

Hi, In the next couple of weeks I am planning on re-arranging my room to have good Feng Shui and good energies circulating in the bedroom. I only have one problem. When I was a little girl I was given the opportunity to buy a new bed by my parents. I obviously chose the iron/metal, love-heart swirly 4 poster bed because I was only little and, well, naive and girly. I am now a teenager and fully aware that metal beds conduct/circulate electricity and give bad energies, and since I have a lot of electricity in the room (computer, light plugs, electric blanket etc.) I am stuck. I asked my parents if I could sell my girly bed and use the money to buy a cheaper, simpler, wooden be from Ikea and have a profit of at least 100 bucks but they said no. Are there any cures for this?

i think you have some misconceptions about chinese fengshui.

what is fengshui about?

first forget about all what you have read about fengshui from books and websites. bec they will just confuse you. if you put all information from books and websites about fengshui, they won’t make any sense.

fengshui has many branches. this includes geomancy (or how our environment can affect our lives; most fengshui practitioners focus on this part of fengshui), face reading (analyze people based on their facial features), destiny calculation (using birthdates to analyze life), date calculation (calculating what good dates for moving, marriage, celebrations), etc.

geomancy/ fengshui is composed of many fengshui concepts, which arfe not mostly published in books/ websites. ms. lillian too has wrote many books about 8 mansions and flying stars (indirectly), and eva wong has written a book about flying stars method. but both have not taught the secret uses of these methods in any of their books.

i used to buy and read a lot of fengshui books before. but i got tired of them, and decided to learn from a couple of chinese fengshui masters.

the fengshui concepts have similar goals – they all calculate what areas in your house have good energy, and what areas have bad energy, based on the direction where your main front door faces. this energy can be calculated/ predicted and analyzed using the fengshui concepts/ methods, but this cannot be felt or sensed. each energy form located in specific locations in the house has its own distinct characteristics. to make your life good, you need to put the bedroom (or other living rooms/ or rooms you tend to live more) in the area where there is good energy, while leaving the areas with the bad energy alone as the garage, storage, less used toilets. using the areas with the good energy activates the good energy and you have a better life. leaving the areas with bad energy alone deactivates it, so no accidents happen in your life. this is what fengshui is about.

so, when you put your bedroom in an location in the house where there is good energy, then no matter how you arrange the bedroom furnitures – you will always have good fengshui/ life. and it does not matter if you use a wooden or metal bed.

how do you go about knowing the fengshui concepts? you can buy the book "advanced course in fengshui" by eva wong at amazon.com or learn it from somebody who knows it.

there are many fengshui concepts out there like flying stars, 8 mansions (east-west made popular by lillian too), water placements, xuan kong da gua, etc. i like flying stars more bec it is simple – that is if you get the hang of using it. and it is powerful enough to make a house have good fengshui. 8 mansions is simpler, but it is less powerful to have that significant change in one’s life.

you are over analyzing everything. don’t do that. you are just confusing yourself even more. learn about flying stars, buy the book by eva wong and try to use it in your house.

in fengshui, the whole house is always considered as a unit, even if you only spend most of your life in just 1 bedroom. the reason behind this is that the original energy or chi that comes into the house always passes through the main front door first, and is being distributed from there. likewise, if you are living in a condominium, the main front door is not the door of the unit, but the main door at the ground floor where everybody uses.

feng shui help?

Help, I am looking for a new job. What helpful hints or cures do you know of to help me find something I will enjoy doing closer to home.

If you use the Feng Shui theory of the 8 aspirations, you should have a look at the North sector of your home. But for a more accurate result, use the Flying Stars theory of Feng Shui. The North, this year is a good sector as well.

For more information about that, have a look at this web and look up Flying Stars (in Feng Shui – Theory) as well as the News, where you get the annual and monthly advice:

Hi all. I am really not sure how the complexity of Feng Shui works in my case. I have those low modern beds with no springboards and chairbacks as headboards. The bed was very expensive and I really like it. I feel good in it despite it doesn’t have a real headboard and it’s low. Any cures?
Also, I have a 30 inch screen tv. It makes me feel relaxed to watch something and fall asleep to unwind from the day. The TV however is on it’s own stand and an armoir wouldn’t fit here, any clues to cover it? It doesn’t sit directly in front of me, but to northeast to when I look up from the bed so I do see myself.
My bed is positioned correctly, commanding & all but where the windows are on my right, it forms 3 sides, like a side of an octagon, three single windows in each wall. Is this considered an auspicious corner?
Lastly, My walls are blue and green. I feel good. I have red too, should I add more red?
Let me know if anyone can help me solve this puzzle!
I thank you for your help!

i know a bit about Feng Shui. i know that you need plants and fish at your place. you need life in there, that really helps. also you can get a figure of an elephant and face the elephant towards your front door, it brings good luck. and very important, go to the store and get a small hand mirror and put it above your door. it takes the evil away from your home. this really works. also adding more red never hurts. hope this helps you some!

I’ve been trying to spruce up my home a bit, and am wondering what the best cures would be for areas where there’s a blockage of the energy flow that can’t be removed, as my home has a few of these.

Great question. Each room, space and home is different. Based on the limited amount of information that was provided, I’ll share some tips and ideas for you.

First off, make sure the space is well lite. Many times, just adding additional lighting can help dramatically. I also recommend that you may want to consider having the lights on a timer so that when you come home in the evenings, your space welcomes you, and invites you in.

Consider adding life energy to a space such as flowers, plants and displaying fresh fruit. Just adding these simple items can make a space really begin to feel like a home.

Adding mirrors for dark areas can expand the space as well and lighten the feeling.

The handle on my Jalousie windows are breaking so that I can’t close my windows~it has happened to 2 windows. I know that it is considered bad feng shui to have a malfunctioning window…and that money will not stay with you, right? My family is extremely tight for cash (I stay home w/ my girls and my husband works) and it seems like we can never get ahead. My question is how do I fix my windows so I don’t lose money if I never have money to fix them??? It seems like a I can’t get ahead…
Any suggestions?
Any cures for keeping money? We can usually make it but it always seems like it is spent before any extra gets in our hand.
HELP!!!
Thank you.

where did you get such ideas??? windows does not do anything to you money, as far as fengshui is concerned. sometimes, leaky pipes (faucets or toilets) can mean that the people in the house are loosing money; thus, most chinese fix this as soon as possible.

money is such a complicated topic. because you need a fengshui expert just to look what is wrong with your house. in fengshui, you might be loosing money because of many factors, like location of house, structure of house, the structure/ arrangement inside the house.

basically, in theory, your kitchen must be at the right location, with your stove/ oven facing the right direction – this attracts money! another thing is that you can "activate" your house with the use of mini rock/ mountain formation and a water feature. and you can also make a water dragon, which is just a canal of clean water going in and out of your house (clean water means legal business). unfortunately, there is no general rule how to apply these. you really need a fengshui expert to help you calculate and apply these properly.

I know that there are "cures" for things in Feng Shui, does anyone know one for this? I have a double door as my front door (which I know is not great in Feng Shui) and you can see my fireplace clearly from the front door. I can "block" the view of the actual place where the fire burns, however you can see the brick chimney that goes all the way to the ceiling, which is vaulted. (15 ft from hearth to ceiling).

Also, I know that you are not supposed to have the foot of your bed facing the door of your room. Half of the foot of my bed is directly across from French doors to the outside. Is it true that if you have a foot board on your bed it counter acts this?

Any help is appreciated.
I heard that if you can see your fireplace from your front door that you will have an accident in the future. Since we moved into this house (where you can see the fireplace from the door), we have had several tragities happen to our family. That is why I am looking further into this. So far, I have only done basic Feng Shui techniques. Since hearing about being accident prone when the fireplace is visable from the front door I am really adimit about fixing this issue. Any little bit helps, right?

You need a water element placed in between the doors and the fireplace to extinguish the effects of the fire. A simple fountain, doesn’t have to be big can do this. A small desktop one will suffice. As far as your bedroom, more important than your feet pointing toward the door is what direction your headboard is. Your head should ideally be pointing North, unless that wall has a bathroom on the other side and the toilet is on that wall. If this is the case, place your headboard so your head is facing West. Never have your head facing south. Change rooms if you have to. I wouldn’t recommend east either. In answer to your feet facing the door, place the mirror on the wall or standing near so you are reflected backk into the room.

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.
