Feng Shui Tips & Guidelines

Question: Master, may I do a quick check? Can son's bed be pushed back all the way to the wall where the window is? Reply: More to do with common sense then Feng Shui: 1. Installed grille? If not child can climb onto the window. 2. If windows open; strong winds and even some rain may come in. 3. If cigarette butt from top floor. If window always shut; no issue. Thus this has more to do with cow sense then Feng Shui.

Some geomancers have the mistaken notion that all books must be "locked-up" or kept in closed cabinets. As they had read that books are like "knifes". In my opinion, this is far from the truth! Many of us throughout ages have a desk and all our frequently used books are at hand and easily retrieved and placed back on shelves. This is especially true for open book-shelves close to where our hand can easily retrieve and place back. We can then place all our current semester's books within easy reach. This is opposed to having to open book-self doors to retrieve them.

Has it got to do with common sense? Yes, if it regards to how many legs can or should a dining table have? Generalised Feng shui originated from this common sense. This is why most geomancers felt that dining tables should have four legs. This illustration seems to suggest that if one leans at the edge of the table, will the table topple down? In normal circumstances, if a table has four legs at each corner of the edge, common sense says that no way such a table can tip or topple down. Please look at the illustration, below. If quality materials and good structural integrity is there, this tabl…

Hi Cecil. I just went to my new neighbor house beside us. They have the sofa/seating area in front of the lift and the dining area in the hall, looks very spacious. Can we do the same? Any negative impact geomancically? More to do with common sense: When one enter the main door and or from the living room sliding door, in this case, we will now encounter the dining table. Thus if one's dining table is messy .. cluttered .. then first-impressions count. Fortunately, your currently your living room and dining is raised one level high. Thus even if one dines at the front (living room side) not many outsiders can see dinner or lunch time nor see the t…

BUT... if we are considering to install e.g. a piece of roofing SHEET: When we install e.g. such as the Dupont 2ply roofing material, if it is not secured properly and/or if there is an unusually large wind; may just blow the roof off. 1.3.1 And just imagine, the roof flows down and it may ina…

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!"

Classical Feng Shui has more to do with understanding the land forms, the site, the building and harmonising the flow of qi. And not about placement of commercial Feng Shui products. Many Feng Shui Masters (FSMs) are a Feng Shui Shop in disguise. In Singapore, majority of FSMs with lineages are in fact the main culprits of selling commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. Therefore, if their forefathers have known this, it would sadden them to see such a sad state today. How can one give proper Feng Shui advice. When at the back of their mind is the motive to sell products for a quick profit. And yes, these products have very high mark-ups.…
