General Help

These are some considerations: a. Frankly, from a micro-level one of the basis is to compare the designs to determine which element it belongs to. (http://talk.geomancy.net ) b. In general: 1 = metal element; 2 = earth element; 3 = wood; 4 = water (but due to jaggered edges should be avoided). c. Thus designs with stars or pointed diamond shapes - if doubt avoid such wall papers. d. Neutral wall papers are those in the examples: 5 and 6. Or those grainly rock-wall rough creased designs. e. In addition, the colour of the wall paper should also be considered in addition to the design. f. Furthermore, there is a purpose for this saying : there are just "too many indian chief…

Dear Anon, Thank you for your sketch. Based on your sketch, it looks like your bed has been placed in a good Shapes and Form layout plan. To confirm, please refer to the attached file and the markings indicated:- Marking `A' preferably your bedroom door should be located here. Marking `C' - windows on this side Marking `D and E' - preferably, the bed should rest against a solid wall. And it is acceptable to have windows on the side of the bedroom at location marked `D' and/or `E'. Frankly, under the Eight House Theory ( East/West Group) of persons, there is not much one can do other than to move room. For those, who want to go further into more advanced Feng Shui can ex…

1. Kua numbers are often not used to analyse a sector (good or bad). 2. If possible, the best method is to apply Compass School - Flying star method in your home. 3. For example, if say the fireplace location has a #3 (Quarrels, conflicts etc). then inadvertently, "fire" as in the "fire-place fire" can help to neutralise this bad star(s). You see, some homes where there is a #3 at certain sector, some FS practitioners may recommend a fire element at that specific sector. This fire element can be in the form of a '24 hours' light or somethign red within that sector. 4. Therefore, the key success is not to apply general statements like: north = career etc.. but to do it …

Thanks for the photograph. However, as I can't really figure out where is your frontage; and as this is only a side view, the curved bay or lagoon does not seem to have a direct impact from where you had taken the photograph -- as it is quite a distance away. Furthermore, the view is a 2D perspective and does not really show a top down and other details, likeyour plot of land vs this landscape.

Dear Anon, Please see below:-

Since you are fully aware of: 1. I am not going to move house! 2. The direction is not suitable.. How? You have to consider other avenues:- * Fix-the-Leak, First! * The Concept of Maximizing Marks These are some of the reasonable steps we take ...

Hi, So far there is no evidence to say that a ceiling fan or light bulb is bad. One reason is because most ceiling fan or light bulb do not have `poison arrows'. Therefore in my personal opinion, both are generally ok. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, This " School " of Feng Shui believes that 5 hanging lights represents each of the Five Elements and can be placed a a location to represent each of the Five elements. It can be all of the same colour. Some went to extent of using five different coloured bulbs. Symbolically, in the day time one need not light up the bulbs. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Red is considered an auspicious colour. For example, Chinese wedding invitation cards are in red (usually with a Phoenix and Dragon Graphic/design on the cover). During the Chinese New Year, it is common to find a red cloth banner with auspicious words hung over the main entrance door. Other examples of the use of red include: red fire crackers used during Chinese New Year. Many years back when fire crackers were not banned in Singapore, you will find houses literally littered with the exploded red fire cracker paper all over the compound. In addition, it is common to have the Double Happiness symbol (in red) hung in the house. The "Fu" word with red backgroun…

Dear Anon, I agree that some FS practioners may use wind chimes to attract wealth. However, the Buddhist and Toaist call the dead using bells. 1. It is best to avoid using metal wind chimes at West, North-West and North-East. West and North-West are of the Metal Element and Yin locations. North-East is traditionally the Devil's Gate and one may inadvertently attract imps or playful spirits as they may be attracted to the sound of the wind chime. 2. The above is the traditional reasoning or advice to take note. 3. Most of the time, due to human nature, we do tend to `over-eat' or go to extremes to purchase not one but many wind chimes. Normally, using our sixth sense, it i…

Dear Toni, In your case, there are three sets of principles you can apply:- 1. Interior layout of your caravan should follow some of the suggestions provided under the topic " The Home " e.g. the position of the basin in relation to the stove and the position of the bed/table. 2. If you know your true element and it's strengths (Pillars of Destiny) you can apply it to your van eg. if say you are considered a person with weak water: you could enhance your caravan by having blue, grey (as an example). If your element is Water, and you have some designs or logo, you could have a logo that is wavy to represent the Water element. 3. When parking your caravan at night, follow s…

These are some considerations: 1. You did not mention how his MIL died. 2. Usually, if it is old age or common ailments such as a heart attack or even terminal cancer etc... In my opinion, there is no major concern with it. 3. In my country; 80 percent of the time; the body (was) cremated. And if it is via cremation; even best as cremation is neutral vs burial. 4. Anyway, frankly, all of us one may must perish. And as mentioned; if it is through natural death; then most of the time no issue.

Dear Ber, Please see below:- Usually, it is adviseable to have the stove facing almost directly the entrance door: 1. Especially if the knobs are facing the door. Where possible get a stove with the knobs should facing the `air'/ceiling. 2. The best location for such a kitchen is where it is located at the South compass point. This is because, South represents the Fire element and even with the stove facing the door, enough `heat' is still retained in the house. The worst position is to have the Kitchen at the North where one may `truely' exhaust the heat from the kitchen. 3. The other option is avoid having the main entrance door opened unless necessary. Other than …

Dear Ashwini, 1. Traditionally, for the Chinese, a better option with a staircase facing the main door is the placement of a convex bagua mirror. 2. Often the semi-circular mat is quite "mild" as compared a mild method to the above. 3. Another method is to add an optional grille gate as shown in the attached. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, All these objects have more to do with commercialisation, than Feng Shui. One should take these items as a decorative item. For example, if one is too free, can make an experiment: 1. Mon, Tue, Wed = let it face the main entrance 2. Thurs = face the living room 3. Friday = face NE 4. Saturday = face SE 5. SUNDAY? Hmm... " How about throwing it away?" Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. The morale of the story? " Para 5 - It is a good idea!"

Dear Johanna, In fact, many people would fall into your category of having chosen "wrong homes". What is more important is a "holistic approach" to Feng Shui. What you had mentioned is like the "tip-of-the-ice-berg". Generally, what you had described has to do with the eight house theory. It is only one of the sub-divisions of the Compass School Feng Shui. As mentioned above, a holistic approach is if one really applies Feng Shui to review or access a situation or home / office is to apply:- a. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui b. Compass School: Eight House with Flying Star Thus, what you had described is just one sub-division of the Compass School Feng Shui. A full F…

Thanks for your help! Generally for air-conditioner placement. You should avoid if possible to have the air-con located above the toilet door or directly above your bed. These are two not so good placements. The other aspect is to ensure that air-con does not blow directly into your face when you sleep. This may cause you to wake up the next day and catch cold. If you do have such a placement, then adjust the air con flap to blow down, so that it does not blow at an angle tow…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Egronomics is all about the user and his/herinteraction with the work place. 2. Who cares if people tell you that books are like knifes! I always remind my clients that when you were studying;we always place our books or semister's booksand even some toys or dollsclose or withinstudying (or even working) distance! 3. Just imagine; is'nt it a joke, if within our work area, we have to constantly open abookshelf doorfor commonly used books or items. 4. For books or items that we don't frequently use, then we may haveshelves with doors and often higher up where we don't need to reach them often! You wrote in italics, below:- 2)…
