Feng Shui Tips & Guidelines

1. You can find the answer to your question, under this link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=28529&new= 2. Frankly, as there are many grains of pepples on the beach; there are also many geomancers and their differing view points. 3. The attached is Geomancy.net's interpretation of colours (British) [ colors - American ]. 4. Between the colours (colors) mentioned, there can be a range of hues. And in such instances the term "IT DEPENDS" applies.

1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; it is best that there is no Sha Qi (poison arrow[s]) aimed towards the main entrance door. 2. In this illustration, just because it appears that there is a poison arrow of the 90 degree angle of a corridor wall; it does not necessarily mean that there is a poison arrow. Here, go and check it out! 3. The best way is to LOOK AT THE FLOOR TILES andfollow the imaginary line at 45 degress angle and see if it lands anywhere close to the main entrance door or not? 4. In this example; @ Blk 288A, Punggol Arcadia, fortunately, stack 809 is safe from the perceived "poison arrow". 5. If one follows the YELLOW line on two of the attached photos; …

1. A cove lighting is built into ledges and recesses in a ceiling. 2. It also looks good or aesthetic and it also hides the light tubes etc.. 3. The major advantage is that it is very friendly to the eyes as it provides a very even lighting. 4. In Feng Shui, these are some considerations:- 4.1. Sometimes; many people mistaken the drop down ledges as a form of a beam. Especially if one seems to be seated below this ledge. 4.2. In reality, these are not load bearing beams; thus no physical harm. More likely psychological in nature. 4.3. Especially if we have visitors and many visitors comment that "Hey, it is no good to seat below a beam". Otherwise, no issue. 5. In reality…

These are further considerations: 1. As this layout plan has an "unusual" pistol like grip (main entrance narrow corridor) and other quirks like a protuding balcony and some missing corner to the left side of the balcony; 1.1. Thus based on the ART of determining the center of this layout; one must take note that in such a situation; particularly the "pistol grip"; it is not practical to apply what I had mentioned; the idea of matching missing corners with protusions. 1.2. In many purely rectangular and squarish layout plans without unusual protusions like the above pistol grip; using eye-ball; often I would try to visualise to make sure that the missing corners is nearl…

These are some considerations: 1. If one's unit is along the common corridor; no choice; for safety reasons, such windows have to be sliding panels. As casement windows if fully opened can be a safety hazard. 2. The disadvantage of sliding windows is that often many of such windows have a fixed panel where all the windows slide towards it. 3. From a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; a casement window is advantages at the exterior of an apartment that is 2nd storey or higher...

1. As previously mentioned; what I had mentioned really has more to do with common sense or rather "Common sense Feng Shui ". 2. In many homes: apartments, private units, landed property bedrooms; one often sees a side beam as shown under the attachment. 3. In this example, there are TWO bedrooms. And the beds are positioned slightly differently: one with the bed head against wall and the other the bed is parallel towards the wall. Each bedroom encounters a side beam = so what? No big deal! 4. In this illustration the load of the upper floor(s) is carried down in the BLUE arrows. And these "beams" are simply CONDUITS.

In my opinion, both your questions can be categorized as: common sense. 1. Most people may feel uncomfortable with our back against a door or opening. If it is an office environment, a mirror, much like the rear view kind, may be mounted nearby or on the edge if monitor screen. Also applies for the home. 2. Curtains must be washed often to avoid germs and bacterial to grow. 3. Closing the door is ok.

On 24/8/2011 2:38 PM, (Name removed) wrote: Dear (Name removed), Thanks for sharing with me your information. Frankly, Feng Shui may not be a cure all. Thus the key word here is: IT DEPENDS!" SENARIO 1. For example, some homes are like an unpolished gem. Once polished properly (e.g. fixed the leaks and areas that could be improved); can or may do wonders. SENARIO 2. Some apartmetns are like a 10 year run-down 1,000cc car. No matter how one tries to improve the car; can't pretend that next day, this run-down car becomes a BMW or Mercedes. Frankly, all these need to be investigated and reviewed and analysed before one can even comment on such things. Reference: Feng Shui…

1. Common sense again prevails when selecting dining table(s). 2. Often someone would lean against a dining table or place food sometimes in a unbalanced way on a dining table. 3. This is the rational why it is best to have four legs at all four corners of a dining table. 4. However, the photos shows another table legs design that says " I also have 4 (extended) legs ".

1. I have always trained my mind to ask this question: "Has common sense to do with this question?" 2. In my opinion, you would be pleasantly surprised to learn that many seemingly Feng Shui or even Grand Mother's tales are rooted in pure common sense! 3. Currently, it is even an uphill task for me to try to collate many so called Feng Shui or Feng Shui related questions into one link. 4. Where it is pure common sense that leads to some thinking that it is some higher form such as a Feng Shui concept or theory! 5. The next time, you try to have a paradiym shift by asking the question: "It is just pure common sense?" You will be pleasantly surprised, when you figure out pu…

These are futher considerations: 1. By the way the "certain group of people" you mentioned are:- 1.1. Mainly, the Cantonese dialect group. The idea here is, yes, the mirror would reflect bountiful food. 1.2. The other group I am afraid especially especially for those new condominiums are the Interior Designers (IDs)... as often, there are not much work needed; thus some ID's would often recommend the placement of large mirror(s) to make the living area looks larger.. In addition, they often say that it would be good to place a partition. It is all about marketing and in my opinion; one way of getting more work from the apartment/unit. 1.3. From a Flying Star Feng Shui…

1. Further to what I had mentioned:- 2. In fact, although some things are 'strictly' Feng Shui issues e.g. the 2 hourly Chinese calendar timing:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=29772&new= 3. I can easily explain it from a Commonsense approach. (See above link). Thus even if one is a non-expert in geomancy; it does not matter. 4. What is sad is that even during my course of work; I have encountered as many as 50 percent of some geomancers that get this commonsense issue wrong! And these geomancers advised their clients with the wrong day of birth! 5. Typically, as I always belief: even if 10 Geomancers tell a story of sorts; it d…

If one has the time; go thru para 7.... of the link, below:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=30113&new=

1. Again; this is another costly "no-brainer". 2. Furthermore, if initally commonsense had prevail; this would not have happened! 3. Let's say, even if one has the highest IQ and education; but could not look into the practical side of things... this ain't no good. 4. This reminds me of the Commonsense reasoning of "non-conductivity" of heat from parquet flooring. This is why many quality homes use parquet flooring for their bedrooms. For example, when we wake up; our feet touches the ground. And if the floor is made of tiles or granite or marble; our feet feels the cold. While steeping on wood (parquet) is another thing all together. Commonsense, commonsense and commons…

"When the Buying STOPS! The Selling CAN!" This is a collation of more than over 80+caricatures that I had worked on throughout the existence of this forum:- Want to find out more? http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/FENG_SHUI_PRODUCTS or view this on our Facebook Album: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.107459366010872.15330.100002404263621&l=b7db4c5d2d

You wrote: "1. Can you tell me what it means from a feng shui apartment to have this type of floor plan, ie why we should close the bathroom door and what would happen if you don't. I'm concerned, but I don't want to be paranoid." Reply: There are two considerations: 1.1. Commonsense Feng Shui and "First Impressions Count." 1.1.1 Here, just imagine when we step into the home; visually if the toilet door is not closed; then our "first impression" is to see thewash basin + themirror. 1.1.2 It is like the notion of asking someone not to place the dining table so close to the main entrance door. Again this is cow-sense. Some of us l…

Further to what I had mentioned; 1. Always remember, a plot at a T-junction is at the mercy of "Commonsense" Feng Shui. 2. The test is: "Can a run-amok vehicle be able to slam into the property?" Yes or No? If Yes, then this is most likely as illustrated in the attachment a potential plot (in this case) a home facing a T-junction. 3. The assumption is that it is not a one-way street where traffic flows away from the T-junction. It also depends on which country one is in: a Right-Hand drive or Left-Hand drive.

Hi Master Cecil, Many thanks! What you have explained has been very helpful as is detailed. It is a very informative read and has helped cleared my confusion as well as any others who may be confused as I was. Thank you!

These are further considerations: 1. Attached, please find a mind-map that I had just drawn to show the relationship between the two major concepts that are widely applied to Feng Shui today. 2. There is an interesting link between the Flying Star Feng Shui and Ba Zi to the Five Elements concept. The plus point of the Five Elements Concept is that as it is the lowest common denominator; it is like the glue that binds both Flying Star and Ba zi. 3. Today, the key success factor of the Compass School of Feng Shui (Eight House and Flying Star) is it's accountability: based on one's Year of Birth. How to get this wrong? Even if it is say wrongly calculated; anyone can double-…

These are some considerations: 1. The photos show "POTENTIAL" sha qi's especially if it is close-by to an apartment - window. 2. Most importantly, one has to be inside an apartment (flat) or unit e.g. on a 2nd storey unit to see if any of the fins of the roof slices into the unit. Or whether does it aim towards the unit (openings). 3. Thus potential means; it is not "there yet" but just maybe.

These are some considerations: 1. Take a look at the attached photo. Although this photo is from a shop-store located in a shopping complex. 2. From the photo; one can obviously see lots of items and even fallen pieces of paper all over the place. 3. Thus, based on "commonsense" think hard before one replaces a kitchen wall or even a study room wall with glass. 3.1. By installing glass panels; one has to make sure that the specific room or kitchen has to be extremely, extremely tidy! 3.2. Furthermore; if lots of glass is used; the joints need to be considered. In this sample shop-store; the joints of the glass seems to "slice" thru the counter girl's "image". This is no…

In this photo; this tree is relatively young. Only the uncovered area where the tree trunk can be seen could be a potential poison arrow; especially if it were to be facing an open window or main entrance door.
