Getting your home security systems set up is a good thing after you buy a house - but getting your favorite feng shui practitioner to look into your house is just as important. But after your feng shui practitioner has done her/his job - whats next? many had asked me how do they pay their feng shui practitioner especially when you are with a group of ppl in your house.
A red envelope can be used for payment as a special way to acknowledge the power and sacredness of your energy exchange. The use of a red envelope to pay your Feng Shui practitioner is an old tradition originating in China. The red envelope is symbolic of the energy that is exchanged during a Feng Shui consultation, honouring the integrity and the value of the information the practitioner has shared with you. It also helps to ensure good fortune for you by completing the circle of giving and increasing the strength and effectiveness of each cure provided to you.
My friend who works with a term life insurance company asked me why they need to put the God Of Wealth in their home. Well, he is not the only one who’ve asked me - so here is my take on it. The God of Wealth, or Tua Peh Kong, is said to be able to bring aupicious money luck and prosperity into the household!
In this gorgeous full-color sculpture, the Tua Peh Kong is seen holding a scroll in one hand, and a huge gold ingot in the other. The scroll says Zhao Cai Jin Bao, or ‘the arrival of auspiciousness’. The gold ingot is, of course, a clear symbol of wealth attainment. This item is most suitable placed in convergence areas of the home or office. Remember to place this semi-religious item at an elevated height.
Space clearing is important for feng shui and i’m sure you know it by now but what about using salt for space clearing .. what is the difference? I learned more about it when I was looking for Branson vacation packages for this summer. Salt Cleansing is very effective for spaces dedicated to emotional healing. It contributes to feelings of balance and integrity. To use salt for space clearing, sprinkle a bit around the periphery of each room, paying particular attention to the corners, where stagnant energy tend to accumulate. Leave the salt in place for at least 24 hours before removing it so that it has enough time to fully absorb and cleanse the energy. A bit of salt can be left in the corners over time to act as an energy booster. Never eat the salt that has been used in a space clearing ceremony… Dispose of it by putting it down a drain and running cold water until it has left the plumbing system. Clearing Salt sold in bags of 1/2 lb.
As someone in the family was looking into treatments for rheumatoid arthritis , they came to ask me if they can attract health with feng shui. Well, you certainly can ! by placing green plants in Bagua home or Office Center & your personal bedroom. an odd # of plants is considered active. Best plants are lush and green - avoid spiky plants like the cactus and plants with spiky leaves. Use high quality air and water filters. And try wearing white to lose weight.
So you have a bad neighbor that gives you stress and no amount of the best diet pills can help with putting off those ugly weight .. so what do you do..?? Normally, I just tell people to use a huge bagua mirror on the door - to ward away the evil energy of the bad neighbors.. but if you are not into giving back bad energy, you can try some crystal cures.
Crystal energies are said to be very effective to calm one down. The Aquamarine crystal is said to be : Soothing, calming: Atlantean but make sure you keep them away from wind chimes and mirrors to prevent energy imbalances
I’ve been told many a times by people that Feng Shui is like Astrology - hahah!! I don’t know whether to laugh or get upset with the ignorance that some people show. It’s like trying to buy the best under eye cream in a perfume store. The perfume store might sell some under eye cream but you and I know that they may not carry the whole range that you need. So where do you go buy an under eye cream ? a reputable beauty salon or a beauty counter - not the perfume store. And nope Astrology is different from Feng Shui - Astrology has something to do with the sky and the stars whereas Feng Shui is all about practicality - not myth and no stories - the only similarity is both needs a lot of studying into to give the right information.
Now I bet that caught your attention .. hahah!! yes! I would too - who doesn’t love the money right? I sure love my wealth chime, not only does it make a good decoration - and just like my hgh it’s essential. But don’t forget to remove bad energy and ensure that all the negativity eliminated from your property. And don’t forget to clear all clutter and make sure the entrance to your home or office is welcoming to welcome the good chi.
A Chinese New Year celebration is incomplete without mandarin oranges and red packets! These items are the quintessential must-haves for a proper celebration. Have a huge bowl of mandarins handy, and do offer them to everyone present. Mandarins signify prosperity, longevity and good fortune. Red packets, or Ang Paos as called by the Chinese, are usually filled with coins and given to children annually until they get married. You can give them Chinese coins, or real currency (the children will probably prefer the latter!). So relax and enjoy the day and put away your anti aging products for the day and eat well and drink well.
Chinese New Year is just round the corner and you and I know that as Asians we believed in doing our spring cleaning before the 1st day of Lunar New Year .. because it is good luck! Why ? because it heralds in a fresh start, prosperity, longevity and happiness year-round this way, too. So keep those laptops away and the dirty brooms and dustpan when you are done to welcome the wealth God on the eve of Chinese New Year.
Don’t clean your house or office on the first few days of Chinese New Year. Don’t forget to get those oranges for the house - to symbolize lots of wealth, richness in your household.
So the Chinese New Year is fast approaching - Feb 14 - Valentine’s day .. darn! can celebrate both at the same time eh. I was hoping to get to look at some netbooks and make the spouse buy it for me during Valentine’s but now he is saying that it’s Chinese New Year - so we have to save money for that ! bummer!
So what is in for us in the year 2010? For me .. the snake :
The Snake
The Snake is philosophical and very intelligent. He or she loves making new friends and adores beautiful things.
And the spouse :
The Rat
Gentle yet firm, cool and always in control, the Rat’s gift is charm - he or she is lovable to others.
