Feng Shui Tips & Guidelines

Do remember that when one comes across such a description when buying a new or resale home: "Large uncovered drain behind a house" Be prepared to exercise CAUTION when buying such a home. CAUTION? Implies further investigations should be made or contacting a geomancer to review it.

Chinese belief that "spirits" move in a straight (line) path. Thus, because of this belief, it is better to have foot-paths or landscaped paths in a home that is winding...

In my opinion, this is worth considering if you DIY Feng Shui. Again, this concept is based on common sense as well as doing it step-by-step in an orderly fashion:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Customer_Engineer_Concept

It is never to late to approach Feng Shui using the three-step-approach:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach The saying goes: "Get it right the first time by having good fundamentals!"

A triage is important to find out the root cause of the problem. Then, apply the fix or cure(s)...

A client followed the instructions to do a semi-circular arch for the main entrance of his factory in Jurong.

Wind Chimes used as CURES: 1. Wind chimes used as CURES must never be too colourful or too decorative. 2. Best to have HOLLOW rods and the preferred wind chimes have six hollow rods. But if one desperately cannot find those with six hollow rods, may consider as a last resort 5 hollow rods.

In many instances, even if we try to build our perfect dream-Feng Shui home; there are often compromises to be made. Often, for convenience, we have toilets that are located at no longer choice location in the home. Or that kitchen stove could be viewed from the main entrance door. Thus we can try to build a near-perfect Feng Shui friendly home. But not always 100 percent perfect!

Applying Feng Shui be it by a geomancer of D.I.Y. is the same as an orchestra conductor....

Only if one has done a Feng Shui Triage (investigations) can then determine whether the home is a unpolished gem or a sour grape....

Hmm... the mother of all water features? I mean water position...

1. Very often, many clients would asked me where should they or rather; where should they NOT hang "sensitive" photos (husband & wife wedding photos) and family portaits? 2. Again, one should think about whether is it related to common sense or not? 3. For example, if one is living on the ground floor and close to the "ground". 4. In the attached photo; of course, I merely use an outdated Iphone 4 with low resolution; and yet, I am able to take a photo of a 2nd storey apartment room. And if one can see, there are some pictures / photos hanging on the wall. 5. Thus, if one is living close to the ground and often, many don't fully close their windows; In such a situatio…

In Interior Design, many Chinese prefer not to use circle or circular designs for just anything e.g. cabinet doors; feature walls and even false ceilings with "holes" in it... P.S. Luckliy, this design is in a public toilet (Depot Heights Shopping Complex)

Often, one has an odd wall or a focal point (space) but do not know how to decorate it? Well, Chinese painting(s) of flowers will brighten that wall; without having need to change real flowers on a daily basis nor have the headache of how to clean those articifical flowers or throw them away?

Hey! They are two different paintings... BUT what is your interpretation of each of the paintings? Mine are......

Here are some considerations. 1. Please refer to attached photo: 1.1. Marking "A" is the house on the left side. While Marking A1 is the fencing of house A. 1.2. Marking "B" is the house on the right side. While Marking B1 shows the house B having a concrete wall. 2. This ONE-WAY street has two lanes: One lane for vehicles turning left. And another lane for vehicles turning to the right. 3. Both houses avoided their main gate directly facing the straight path of the one-way street. 4. The red dotted line is the imaginary line if a vehicle could have loss control and veer into either homes. 5. Overall, house B did a great job by placing the concrete high wall. House A ai…

These are some considerations:- 1. A house or two houses at a T-junction e.g. House marked as "X" and "Y" is within the range of a T-junction. 2. In this example, it is based on simply Common sense. Thus simply it is called Common sense Feng Shui. 2.1. Thus even without the term Feng Shui, it can easily be explained thru common sense. 3. The key lies with this sentence: " A moving vehicle going in a straight-line especially if there is a mechanical failure e.g. brakes locked up or the driver's feet got jammed on the fuel paddle etc.. or even a drunkard ... cannot stop the vehicle". 4. Thus if a vehicle ploughs straight into a home; the most likely senario is that of Sena…

One brother is named TRIAGE. Another brother is named CURE. TRIAGE IS THE SIAMESE TWIN OF CURE.

Today, more and more are seeking Feng Shui advice prior to placing a deposit to buy a home. Like I always say, this is a smart move indeed! Indeed, it applies equally to both looking for a new (resale) home and/or finding a new office / business space. Reference: under TOPIC 5/5 of this link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=12&mid=30814&new= Like this link, it is often a fore-GONE conclusion, once they had taken up the space... Here, in my opinion, even GOD, can't help this business.

Feng Shui Emporium & Stores will try to sell you anything in the NAME of Fung Sway! In this instance, they could become rather imaginative and sell the Pi Yao based on RACE classification. Since us Chinese have YELLOW skin, guess what colour of Pi Yao should we purchase? Of course those yellowish as in Copper Pi Yao's. For Chinese who suntan alot; then recommended to purchase the slightly tan look Pi Yao i.e. the Bronze ones.... If you are endowed with grey hair, then even the Silver Pi yao is suitable. Got it, get it? When the buying stops, the selling can! In my opinion, since all theses are modern commercial products in the name of Fung Sway, it really don't ma…

1. Drawing a parallel with the Titanic which sank. 1.1. Titanic had been designed to stay afloat with FOUR flooded compartments but not more. 1.2. When Titanic had a glancing blow with an iceberg; this buckled her right side = starboard. This caused a total of five out of her sixteen compartments to be flooded. 2. Often each home also can withstand a certain number of "flooding" of her compartments. Often, if there are around 3 rooms that have flooded; this home similar to the titanic will inevitable sink. 3. Thus all the material things that one try to enhance this home will literally sink with the home! 4. The main situation is to try to identify and fix as many (major)…

Appended by Cecil Lee: After reading the above article, does anyone know whether is there any relevance to Feng Shui? Make a guess..

The authorities should also look at the trend of even larger, unusable spaces that have be…

Further to what I had mentioned earlier, you could perhaps see if any of the following helps or not:- (In no correct order) 1. If you do apply some cures: The Customer Engineer Concept 2. Fix-the-Leak, First! Often your apartment should have at least two or easily three major issues. You really need to find out the correct issues or problems. Most common mistake is to take the easy way out and be taken in into buying useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. This is like for some; overeating to try to overcome or let them forget their problems. 3. Feng Shui Triage Reminder: If there is no proper trouble-shooting; Garbage in garbage out. 4. The Concept of Max…
