You have heard the most recent term Kindergarten Feng Shui, another interesting description is called Credit Card Feng Shui. I refer to this interesting term as " Purchasing " on credit.

The Internet is a large global community. Like any community it is governed by certain rules of behaviour. Proper behaviour on the Web is known as Netiquette - short for net etiquette. Netiquette also covers rules to maintain civility in discussions. In most cases, netiquette is enforced by fellow Netizens who will `make noise' if you do not follow proper netiquette. 1. Include a subject line A descriptive phrase in the subject line of the message header helps everyone know at a glance what the message is about. For example do not use " Water fountain ".

Dear Users, Some users are `confused' because they read somewhere that instead of using Red string with 6 coins, the recommendation was to use 6 coins with e.g. salt water. What is the rationale of using Red string with 6 coins and not 6 coins with water:- Metal in Water, will result in Metal being absorbed to create water, ending up losing the Metal as a controlling element. And the strengthened Water is not really going to be effective in controlling by controlling Fire, because the Strong Earth #2 & #5 is not at all being controlled. Red String helps to control 6 coins, because 6 is already strong plus being metal themselves, so need a little control, it will not a…

Dear Users, Before I elaborate on the Feng Shui Trap, it is very common for many of us to fall prey to purchasing a fountain, wind chimes etc.. in the hope that we can become `wealthy'. It is often elaborated that one does not really need to spent money under Feng Shui. What I mean is that, rather than hoping for auspiciousness to come to us by purchasing fountains etc... but should we not try to (in the first) place, if we can neutralise bad influences. If we do not do so, no matter how much we buy to ehance ourselves, we will ultimately like many people have found out fall into the Feng Shui `trap'. Hope that you can ponder over what I have said. This has been elaborate…

Overall, one of the purpose of the Pillars of Destiny is to find out generally are we blessed? Enjoy good life or are we destined to lead an average life or worse a "dog's" life. Some of us forgot that `wealth' does not necessarily mean money. For those who are blessed with money, will no matter how, enjoy wealth. The Limiting Factor (c) Cecil Lee For those of us who are "just average" and need to work to survive or work hard should accept the fact. If one looks at the Pillars of Destiny, majority of us fall under an average life. So no matter how much we try to chase after wealth (money) it is elusive. Is it worth it to go on forever chasing the `elusive' wealth right …

If you need to unwind or once awhile, find something `entertaining' on "Feng Shui" do log on to the only newsgroup on Feng Shui. Point your newsgroup reader to: alt.chinese.fengshui I find it quite amusing, just for relaxation when I occassionally need to `unwind' or for a good laugh:) Unfortunately, there is too much Sha Qi from it. So, do so once a while! Sad to say, the newsgroup has gone to the dogs, entertainers and actors. Warmest Regards, Cecil

What has Quantum Leap has to do with Feng Shui? For those who is considered having an average but generally smooth life:- If you have been staying in the same house for a few years to many years. Do not expect to see a quantum leap in major improvements. For example, if you life is pretty normal, staying in the house, do not expect that Feng Shui can provide you with the Quantum Leap to riches and monetary wealth. However, if one has been plagued with `problems' especially in health, misfortune, can utilize Feng Shui. What is the morale of the story? Since, one may not expect to see a Quantum Leap, so do we put in so much effort, money and time to gain only Marginal retu…

1. Whenever you have three houses facing each other, it is best to balance this with a third house or a water position. 2. The Plus Equilbrium ensures that four houses are always facing each other or three houses and a water position forms a `PLUS' sign. This is considered an auspicious layout. Here goes:

Dear Elena, This is an illustration of a `Four combination house' which comprises two Sets of `Two houses' which are out of balance:- Please see below:- Yes, you are correct. One cannot place a water feature on a public road in front of such houses. Thus, this is overall considered a `bad layout'. To lessen the blow, it is utmost important for the main door to be `protected'. Another method is to place a water feature (if there is sufficient space in the frontage of each house to balance the house. This should reduce the `impact' for a specific house but not for it's neighbours unless they do the same. Another method most commonly used is to use the Ba Gua mirror (…

Another `secret' ingredient in Feng Shui is the application of Shapes and Forum to provide us a quantum leap. This `secret ingredient' is hard to `apply' for many people. Basically, it is about using Shapes and Form to find the dragon vein i.e. a location where houses or office can accumulate wealth. What an expert FS practitioner does is to do an environmental scanning of the landscape and site/home/office and see if the overall site/home/office can retain "wealth". It can be a site where it is `blessed' with good overall Shapes and Form that allows `wealth' to be retained. It usually takes a keen eye to spot these. Usually, those specialising in or are experts of Shapes…

Many of us are already aware of the various types of "metal" element cures such as: 1. metal windchimes 2. grandfather pendulium clock 3. 6 iching coins string together with a red string and some comes with a red tassle. 4. Personalised copper ruler (sold by some FS practitioners at a marked up price.) Which is still valid as it is still considered as a metal cure. So, what about the use of "metal in salt"? Here, some FS practitioners advice placing 6 iching coins in a container especially a glass container and add water / salt to this combination. Is this valid? Well I personally feel that this is more of a Western practise rather than in the East. It is still valid to d…

Office Warming (like Home warming) is considered an essential part in bringing good Qi and luck for the occupants in the new premises. Another major consideration (or superstition) is to `ward' off evil spirits. 1. First, an auspicious day and time is chosen for the move. If one does not consult a FS practitioner, than a good date is usually the 15th day of each lunar month. up. (Full moon). 2. On that day, all windows, openings, grilles or opening in the walls and if there is skylight into the building, it has to be be covered up e.g. with black paper. The duration of this `black-out' is for an hour before the Office Warming Starts. 3. Make sure that all electrical light…

Dear All, The Tropica, Singapore Case Study of Applied Feng Shui in action at the Tropica Condominium. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/review/tropica/index.htm 1. The above condominium is a good example of macro Feng Shui. 2. Feng Shui is not just about our little `private' corner i.e. for those staying in an apartment; but rather the bigger picture also of the landscape, the site and the apartment blocks. 3. Some sites also take advantage of what we refer to as the beneficial effects of "negative ions" to our health. For example in the above case study, the water course at the frontage of this condominum project has a river that flows from auspiciously from west to east t…

Dear All, 1. I have often been asked the question: My new home/apartment was built on land that was used to be a burial site. Is this inauspicious? In my opinion, I would say " It depends ". Here are some of my thoughts on this: a. If you are staying in Singapore; in the past, many of the sites chosen for burial of loved ones are the choicest sites in Singapore! Here, there is an inherent belief that when one bury's one's ancestors in good sites; it will bring forth goodluck to the decendants of the dead. b. If you are staying in any other country which has Chinese cemeteries, most likely it has been feng shuied many (many years) back and these sites should be excellent…

Dear All, Besides accessing the exterior of the building (the environment, the site and the building/interior), for business: 1. Sole Proprietorship/Partnerships/Private Ltd Companies The date/time of birth of the Sole Proprietor/Partners are also looked at. 2. Public Listed Companies Often, in addition to accesing the exterior and interior of the building, the assessment is also made with reference to the I-Ching. Warmest Regards, Cecil
