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.

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.

A very good option is Eva Wong. She wrote two books. The first one, more for beginners is “Feng-shui: The Ancient Wisdom of Harmonious Living for Modern Times”. The second for those having already some knowledge “A Master Course in Feng-shui”. Both are based on the Flying Star method of Feng Shui.

Another good option would be “The complete idiots guide to feng shui”, which is based on the Flying Star method but also on the 8 Mansions method of Feng Shui. So this one would be good to have an overall overview and not just learning one method.

If you want to know a little bit more about the different schools, you can look it up here:

No good to place the book shelf next to the bedroom door.
As you said that when you opened the door you see the shelf first,
This is a book shelf. In mandarin word books is “shu” it means loss or not winning and shelf is “jia” means sounds like comfirm.
Therefore this is the first thing you have when you open the door. You have loss in the first place.Even when you are going out of the room you do meet this bad omen. Move it away, further in.

there are no such thing as fengshui tips or general guidelines. even if there are – these things will not benefit your life or significantly change your life for the better.

but there are fengshui concepts like flying stars, 8 mansions, water placements, etc. to learn them you can buy books by eva wong, lillian too, or you can learn them from fengshui masters who hold seminars across the world. the latter is more effective, because they share their trade secret, which they dont if you just read books.

the fengshui of a store is different from a home. in an store/ office, you like people coming in all the time, so you use peach blossom method to tilt your door to a specific degree. but when you have this in your home, it will make you or your spouse have many affairs. so in this case, it works against your marriage – if you are married.

as with the case of flying stars, you need to activate the current mountain star and current water star to make your luck current (not expired). mountain refers to physical health, while water star refers to financial health.

last, there is no such thing as the bagua method. if there is such a thing, where do you put the toilet? because any place you put it, it affects that aspect of your life. andhave you seen a house without a toilet? it is just ridiculous. actually in chinese fengshui, there are many ways to put a toilet, so the more you flush, the more money comes into your life.

Kua Numbers of both partners must be calculated based on Feng Shui to see whether they match or compatible. If not compatible, the couples should not marry if he or she believes in geomancy (Feng Shui). For those ppl who do not believe in Feng Shui, nothing is going to happen to their families after marriage.

candles are not a good idea for the house. why? because in fengshui, there are energy/ ies that react and interact inside and outside the house. so for example, there is too much fire formations in a location inside the house, there the fire can manifest itself – there will be actual fire… and there will be explanations like faulty wirings, etc. there is always some kind of explanation. but the end result is always a fire related accident or blood related diseases. so, if you are to put more fire in the house, then you should know where to put them. the problem here is that there is no general rule to locate these things. because the energy/ ies distribution inside the house depends on the facing of the house (different for condos) and what period (every 20 years in fengshui, we are now in period #8 until 2023) you first used your house – something like that. so there are many combinations for each house.

Like Chinese medicine, Feng Shui is another discipline in Chinese culture that has been wildly misinterpreted. The problem is that people are not interested in the underlying reasons and practicality. They only like to believe in rumors and magic. Hence they get confused in the process.

Regarding Feng Shui, some people at one extreme laugh at it and think that it is purely superstition. At the other extreme, some people treat it like the bible. The large majority in the middle is subject to sway. Here, I wish to help you filter out what is rational, practical, and good for your health.

The Numbers Game
The meaning of numbers easily captures public fascination. The following shows where the meanings are derived from:
Zero: means none, the Chinese word being 零
One: means positive, derived from the Chinese phrase 一定
Two: means easy, in Cantonese it sounds like the word 易
Three: means living, in Cantonese it sounds like the word 生
Four: means death, derived from the Chinese sound of the word 死
Five: means negative, in Cantonese it sounds like the word 唔
Six: means wealth, in Cantonese, it sounds exactly like the word 祿
Seven: means death, derived from the Chinese custom of seven-day
paying respect after a persons death.
Eight: means lots of money, in Cantonese it sounds like the word 發
Nine: means longevity, derived from the Chinese sound of the word 久
Ten: means for sure, derived from the Chinese sound of the word 實

Do you see any rationality or practicality in the above? I only see the fun-loving wonderful Chinese culture. Note that the colorful Cantonese dialect exerts quite an influence on the whole Chinese culture, especially Feng Shui.

You can make more meanings by combination. For instance, thirteen is bad omen in Western culture. In Chinese, it sounds ten three, which means for sure living, which means good. So in this case we have a cultural conflict.

For your consideration, if you fly from New York to London, dont take a 747 or 777 because the numbers are so bad. Airbus 340 has only one good number out of three, so is a 767. Youd better take a boat then, but make sure that the departure date and time give you good numbers and good luck.

Hence you see that the numbers can drive you crazy if you are serious about them. My advice is that as a social being, you just play the numbers game for fun. Make sure you entertain your friends and get a good laugh. Note that pleasing people and having a laugh are also medicines for good health.

The Direction Game
When you ask a friend or a Feng Shui master about your residence, the subject of directional orientation must arise. You will get 100 different opinions from 100 people. You will be told that the front door should face a certain direction, for instance, the south. Since there are four directions and various ways of combination and correlation, you will be fascinated by the theories. Its up to you which one you want to believe. Remember to ask yourself some practical questions. You should not live in fear that something bad will happen if you dont act. You must realize that any good or bad thing can happen to you in life whether you understand Feng Shui or not.

Living with fear is never good for your health. Its no good either if you are forced to reorient your residence without a valid reason. If you have plenty of money to spend, that may be okay just for the fun of it. If you want to entertain your friends with Feng Shui theories, why not do it? Its fun!

The Color Game
Color is an important factor in daily life. You have to make a choice in many cases. People used to pick the color they like in a subjective manner. Suppose a Feng Shui master recommends the red color that is not your favorite. What do you do? Do you want to put up with something you dont feel comfortable? If so, that is not good for your health. For a simple choice like color, you should go with your instinct or taste, not a theory or foreign culture that you dont completely understand.

Going against your natural instinct or taste brings stress to your life. For simple decisions, just rely on your subjective view. You dont need anybody to help you. However, entertaining your friends with Feng Shui theories about colors is a different matter, because its fun and good for your health.
