Dear Anon, 1. The first priority on the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui i.e. the position of the bed. Some important points are: 1. The bed headrest should be against a wall for support. 2. Avoid sleeping with the legs in full view of the bedroom door. 3. Avoid the bed headrest against the window. 2. After having considered above, you can then try to personalise Feng Shui. Is the bedroom exactly at your South West compass point or can you shift it such that it is closer to another compass direction without compromising Para 1. It is best to avoid sleeping at the Southeast as this is inauspicious. If you work 10-11hours and spent less time, in the bedroom, you should …

Dear Anon, A temporary solution is to cut down the stump to the foot level. A permanent solution is to dig out the tree plus the roots cleanly. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Before I elaborate on your question, I like to share with you a little about the Compass School Theory such as the Flying Star theory. In my opinion, I believe that one way of looking at Feng Shui audit lies with the inclination of the Feng Shui practioner. I mentioned in a few forum messages sometime back that some of us are more inclined to being a Left brain while others are Right brained. I mentioned `inclined' because unlike the continuum of Hot and Cold, most of us are somewhere in the `middle'. We are not totally `left' or `right'. Some of us are more artistic, spatial etc.. On the other end, others are `logical', enjoys mathematics etc... To a certain …

Dear Anon, In the past, particularly in China, the best sites were chosen for a city e.g. Canton, Fujian etc... In this case there is not much choice to have houses built near to a volcano. One way to see it is to apply the 33 percent ruleset. The roof is so tiny and it is not going to affect the environment. Even if it is red colour. Rather, it is the threat of the volcano that can change things. Look at it this way, if the volcano is going to erupt, it will with or without the red roof Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Daniel, I strongly encourage everyone to first grasp the fundamental principles of Feng Shui. When discussing two main doors, we are focusing solely on the 'end result' rather than the underlying causes of the situation. It is essential to comprehend the root of the matter; initially, the number of main doors—whether two or three—is not the primary concern. In 'proper' Feng Shui, if a house has two doors, it is advisable to conduct a Feng Shui audit to explore the scenarios associated with using Door A versus Door B. If one door is found to be more auspicious than the other, it is preferable to utilize that door more frequently for our own purposes. Our con…

Dear Daniel, I am glad that you brought up your viewpoints. What you have mentioned in general is what some Feng Shui practioners practise: " Generalised Feng Shui ". One good thing about generalised Feng Shui is that one do not need to explain and analyse Feng Shui based on e.g. The Five Elements relationship. It is so easy to `preach' Feng Shui based on our feelings and to be on the safe side, use a fixed template. Anyone can practise such Feng Shui in hours. Each of us can write a book based on our experiences. To speed up things, one person writes about the Career Sector in the North. Invert the template for the South and this becomes a sensational book on Feng Shui f…

Dear Cecil, Thank you for your response. I have read so many bad things about graveyards and feng shui. You have made me feel good about a house and setting that my husband and I feel so wonderful in. It truly is beautiful, I had a hard time believing that it could be so terrible. Thank you, again. Linda

Dear Cecil, Thanks so much for your replies. It makes me feel much better, specially because I felt a bit silly about the whole thing. As regards your queries, I am posting a few details here: * A little about this house: It consists of two flats side by side on the first floor. Each has a hall, kitchen and a bedroom. The flat numbers are 101 and 102. The main entrance is the door of flat 102, which is NE facing. A numerologist we know advised us to keep the NE direction because as per Hindu astrology, it is auspicious. He also said the number ?102?which adds up to a 3 is not good and so asked us to write it as ?102B? for a more favourable number 5. (Actually the original…

Dear Rodica, There are many ways to look at health in Feng Shui and Chinese Divinity Methods. Usually, one should not fall sick often. If so, one good tool is the Flying Star Theory. Here, look out for Flying Star: Star 2 influence. It could most likely be in the bedroom. Star 2 (Sickness Star) and Star 5 (Misfortune) when combined together are two of the `worst' stars under this Theory. Underground water directly below a house also have negative effects. In independent German studies, have conclusively shown that when the study plotted water courses under a house, the incidence of cancer arouse. The above are worst case senarios. Other related Chinese principles include:…

Dear Carrie, I agree with you. You should try out the curtain first. This is because, one should not place the Kuan Yin figurine on a study table or in the bedroom. For those who are not sure what the Kuan Yin figurine looks like, there is a photo of it under the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures) look for something like figurine... The reason why one should not place the Kuan Yin figurine is that it is a revered Chinese `God'. She is called the Goddess of Mercy. Locally, in Singapore, there is also a temple at Waterloo Street devoted to her. In Chinese Beliefs, (not Feng Shui) it is `dirty' for Gods to look at human beings especially in intimate location…

Dear Carrie, In my opinion, a mirror may not be effective to deflect the `arrow' of the roof line because it will still be pointed against you. The two alternatives are: 1. As mentioned earlier, you need to use a blind or a screen. A white see through curtain is acceptable. 2. Ideally, if you can place one dragon figurine on your table and aim it at the poison arrow. It is best not to use a small cannon piece but this can be pointed at the `arrow' if you cannot find a dragon. But becareful when using the cannon. Do not face it in the path of any other buidings or allow it to be `reflected' back to your home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Help, I believe what you had printed out is based on the Eight House Theory. Since you are building a new house, if you can get Professional Feng Shui help instead. This is because, if you are new to Feng Shui, there are lots of considerations. For example, 1. Shapes and Form It is not only about your house but the surrounding environment i.e. the landscape and especially the site. Consideration include any water positions at the front, side or back of the house, the other landmarks or buidings nearby. 2. The Flying Star of the House This consideration is equally as important as finding a suitable house that match the breadwinner. There are many more considerations…

Dear Anon, For the Eight House, this is simple. You superimpose the individual's template on to the exact compass directions on both cases. For the Flying Star, it is best to consult a FS practioner to determine the location of the main entrance. I have not seen your exact layout plan so cannot give you a precise answer. However, if you are doing it on your own, you should consider the rectangle shape with the main entrance to determine the main entrance. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jaishree, As you are new to Feng Shui, I quite understand you being anxious to go right down to `make changes'. However, it is good to decide on your approach as to how you can find out about FS: 1. If you are in a real hurry to apply Feng Shui, you should consult a FS consultant to check on your house. 2. In normal situations if you are starting to learn Feng Shui, my advise is to start off with a sound foundation and not approach Feng Shui like visiting a fast food outlet that serves fast food. 3. The easiest for a beginner is to start out with: - Understanding Shapes and Form School. There are quite alot of free resources on this site. Or get yourself a book on it…

Dear Jaishree, There are a few considerations to note: 1. One theory you can apply is the Eight House Theory. Here, check what intangible force is located in the West room with respects to your children who will be occupying the room. 2. Under the Eight House, Where possible it is good for them to spent time at an of the 4 auspicious sector e.g. Health, Longevity etc.. 3. Priority should be given to Para 2. Another point is that they can sit facing one of their good directions. 4. Before considering Para 3, it is best to position the study table against a wall for `support'. Check out the resources on www.geomancy.net for the Shapes and Form School techniques and read up …

Dear Carrie, To confirm, it is a poision arrow only if it is aimed at you. This is where the tip of the poison arrow is tangent to any part of your window area. If so, apply the concept if you cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat. Here, you can consider using a curtain or a venetian blind on the window. Do you something which can still allow light into the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Right now, my couch is It is best to have the electronic appliances against the wall under Shapes and Form School. This is where generally, the living room should have a `clear space' i.e. low cabinets or seats. The walls can have higher cabinets e.g. to house electrical appliances. You should find the true North South compass direction and mark this on the centrepoint of the house. Next superimpose the Eight House template so that it lines up with the North to South marking on the layout plan. The main door has to be determined by the actual cardinal point. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carrie, Grateful if you can clarify what is the `brass things'. 1. Usually, avoid sharp cornered objects as it can inadvertendly be a posion arrow. 2. Small objects in relation to the size of the room has minimal or no effects provided they are not symbolic of inauspicious objects such as an unkown figurine that deplicts e.g. a "monster" etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jennifer, I usually do the following: 1. Get a overhead projector transparency (1 piece). 2. Draw the 8 compass directions on the transparency. 3. Use different coloured permanent ink and write down each family member' auspicious and inauspicious direction wordings on each of the directions. For example at North you can see:- Death (Father) Longeivity (Mother) Health (Daughter) Irritation (Son) N | Write each family member's intangible force at each compass sector. 4. Get a layout plan of your home. 5. Draw the centrepoint and mark the North to South compass alignment. 6. Superimpose the transparency onto the layout plan and you will get a `big' picture for everyone…

Dear Lindsay, There are quite a few stores, have unconcealed ceilings `similiar' to what you have described. Overall, it is acceptable to have the beams especially if it is at the display area. This is why the customers walk around and they are not under the beam at prolonged times. However, for the office (or admin office) try to avoid working under the beams. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carrie, I can understand your confusion. 1. `Text book' answer to the main entrance door is one where the house number is. 2. In real life, the door you used most is considered the actual main entrance door of your house (with or without the house number on it). In my opinion, we should `stick' with the second interpretation. If you have seen movies or shows of old houses in China, their main door is larger than any other doors and is prominently located at the frontage of the house. Nowadays, most houses in the west have a main entrance and a door in the garage. Some users here have taken `advantage' of this by doing a Feng Shui analysis of the two directions to det…
