Dear Rose, *Joke* Perhaps, why there is not much resource in a dentist's waiting room is a real human issue. As all Feng Shui practitioners are (human - flesh and blood); I can say for myself, I dread going to a dentist myself! Erh.. can I excuse myself from this topic:( Jokes aside, Feng Shui can be applied in a dental clinic. I will try to recollect some of the important points for you: 1. Clinic Logo You can mention that often, the investor (often the dentist himself) sets up his/her own practise. For the purpose of this message, when I refer to his / him (I am refering to him or her) else I may inadvertently anger ladies listening in!. A dentist may consult a geomance…

Dear Anon, 1. The test for a real treat is : for us to stand inside of our house - Main door and windows and look out directly. If we do not see a threat slicing straight into our house, this is normally not a threat. 2. However, if it is an angle of a house and it `cuts' into our house, this is considered a threat. 3. For office buildings, reflective glass can be considered as a threat, since it reflects or deflect light. 4. For the home, a threat can seeminly come from the walls of another house. For example, if the afternoon sun, shines onto this wall, and from our window, we get a really bad reflective glare, this can be considered as deflected, sha qi. A simple solut…

Dear Vun Fook, 1. I really appreciate if users could go thru some of the past resourses in this forum. 2. In particular, I have emphasised many times of the three step-approach: 2.1 What is the purpose of each concept 2.2 What are it's strengths 2.3 What are it's weaknessess 3. Understand Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui and ba zi, first. Try to do a search on each of what you had mentioned, below and find out there purpose, strengths and weakness. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. The key success factor in-fact has to do with: location, location and location. This is where the house / apartment is situated in an excellent location, first. 2. It is good to go thru some of my previous forum messages. Try to search for things like: " quantum leap "; to understand what excellent homes mean. 3. Therefore, Para 1 and 2, comes first. Next, it is good to have a suitable house/apartment. Please use the free Eight House tools available at: geomancy-online.com to generate reports to analyse the home. 4. For those who are new, should read some of the resources: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kochakorn, 1. Frankly, as you have mentioned, it is all a matter of our individual taste. 2. Most of the time, plates of china are often not too dark (perhaps this is my personal preference). But there is generally no issue with regards to Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil I'm getting a

Dear Guest, 1. The rationale why, the "numbers game" is not used in Feng Shui is; as you had correctly pointed out: it is subject to so many different interpretations! 2. For some race (and dialect) groups, it could be based on phoentic sounds. 3. Since, numbers are to be interpretted so widely or diversly, it would seem furtile to argue which numbers are better. 4. Even in numerology, there are just too many schools. And where do we begin? 5. More importantly, if it is from a Feng Shui angle, often, it is not the number of the unit but rather: the external environment, the site, the building that plays an important part. 5.1 For example, we often find homes with `nice' n…

Dear Anon, 1.It is always best to understand each concept or theory in order to have a good grasp or proper foundation to help us achieve success. 2. The first thing that comes to my mind when you mentioned Gua or Kua is: 2.1 What is it based on? When we first try to apply this we need to provide an input. For Gua or kua numbers : we merely need our year of birth. However, contrast this carefully with the inputs needed for ba zi analysis. For ba zi (Pillars of destiny) we not only need to have the Year of birth, but also at least the Month, Day of birth. And if we can, try to also use our hour of birth. 2.2 So what is so different with these two concepts? We can tell at a…

Dear Anon, 1. Drawing a parallel, nowadays, also, this type of Feng Shui is too general to be effective. It is like the notion of North = career sector; SW = romance sector. 2. Although: West is associated with metal; East with wood; there is not much this can tell us. 3. A more accurate interpretation is to apply Flying Star Feng Shui. This is because each sector has three variables: the mountain star; the water star and the base star. 4. For example, the Flying Star analysis is based on the birth chart of each home. Here, one needs to know the year the house was born or had a major renovation. The direction of the house. 4.1 Senario 1: ============== If this (west) sect…

Dear Anon, 1. Often, this has more to do with psychology (or beliefs) then Feng Shui. 2. For example, many of us, cannot stand the sight of blood or `cruelty'. In nature, fishes, often caught live fishes and eat them. 3. Other than the above, or for the person who feeds the fish, if one is conscious of such activity, then, one may feel unease. 4. This category of activity should be classified more of a `Ren cai'(human / man luck activity). 5. Often we have `dealings' and communication with our loved ones, friends and at work. 5. We can draw a parallel to what you had mentioned to (extreme cases). Often, we hear that a criminal e.g. one that had taken someone else life. S…

Dear Utpal, 1. Although, red can be associated with the `fire' element, this is only one perspective or point of view. 2. Far from this single view or vocab that red = fire; red alternatively also represents auspiciousness for the Chinese. 3. Understanding the Five Elements Concept:- 3.1 Besides what I mentioned under Para 2, everything that is tied in red, therefore is symbolic of `auspiciousness'. 3.2 The Six coins cure and the red string or ribbon: For the six coins cure: Six represents `big metal'. The square hole at the centre of this six coins represents `earth' element. Earth element helps to strengthen metal element. Since the arrangement of six coins represent …

Dear Carlos, 1. In my opinion, this may not be the correct way to solve your problems. 2. A Ba Gua mirror is often used to either: 2.1 Ward of evil and/or 2.2 Neutralise Sha Qi (poison arrows). (For example, a house located at a `T' junction. 3. Often, it is placed outside the main entrance door or above the window of a house. 4. Otherwise, it is best to check out what is wrong i.e. are there any leaks externally or internally in the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, It would be nice to select an auspicious date. But if things has past, it is best to forget about it. Anyway, the date may not be very inauspicious or inauspicious. It could instead be average or mixed blessing dates. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Cecil Lee, Your reply had been really exciting.On this similar subject, i would like also to touch the subject on palm reading, fortune telling,and face reading.All these are related to one person life destiny.Sometime,when we look for a fortune teller in which they look into the palm reading and analyse the person face and gave quite amazing reply.And also,we do hear people say about life is fated.So,can FS change one person fate? Plus,when we apply FS to improve our life with the changes occur ...what would be the relation effect with palm reading,fortune telling,and face reading.Thank you for sharing your thought on this subject. Warmest Regards, alvin niap…

Dear Anon, One possibility is to see you can find a house with a main door that can be tilted towards NE, NW, SE or SW. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dragana, Please see below:- Given this senario, often, when one visits a so called Feng Shui website, they always sell such (commercial) things. The only difference I find between the Mandarin ducks vs the three legged toad is that: perhaps, the pair of mandarin ducks appeal more to westerners. While many Chinese: in Singapore, many of the lower (middle) income Chinese e.g. living in three or four room flats have such a three legged toad. All these are fool hardy, given that the money goes into the pocket of the seller. Frankly, should treat all these as decoration. If one likes say a painting, it can be pleasing to one's eyes. In fact, most of the material …
