Feng Shui CrazyMaking My World A Better One

Enhancing one’s “yan” luck is very important to anyone who wants to be in the good books of your superior or be in the good books of anyone - you care for.  Why do some people just gets along with everyone and everyone seems to like them - while others - they just can’t seems to get anyone to like them.  So the chinese believe that the “yan” luck plays a very important part.

While some uses a pink crystal bracelet to enhance the “yan” luck - some uses mini led christmas lights in their bedroom.  Not only are these lights said to decorate your room - some said - it also enhances their romance luck if placed in the right position.  That you will have to check your bagua for it, plus LED lights are not expensive to keep them on all the time - so I would say - go for it - we have one in our patio - all year long - just because we want to enhance our family ties.

Feng Shui entrance and front door spaces to your home or business, must be set up to invite critical chi Energy into an area. CHI, the vital Life Force Energy that swirls throughout the Universe, brings wealth and well-being to us. Blocks or deterrents to CHI Energy must be removed to allow the healthy CHI Flow to enter into our surroundings.

Many years ago, when we hired a consultant to come look at our store - she thought us to bury  nine coins under the pathway that leads to our store,  this represents money making its way to your doorstep.  Link the energy of abundance to your entrance by placing these nine coins in both the entryway and the actual abundance sector of your home.

When i read about tips for entrepreneurs - i just had to share it with all of you - my experience.  I have friends who are very creative and very enterprising - just like an old college friend who went into photography.  Besides getting a good camera - he did his research and lots of  digital camera reviews on DSLR and digital cameras.  A good start - I’ll have to say for someone who is just starting out but today 10 yrs later - in his shop - he not only sells cameras but all sorts of camera accessories and camera cases.

A good foundation for any entrepreneur is very important but there are several ways to enhance one’s business success as I’ve read in a feng shui magazine.  So depending on what you are aiming for - whether a good turnover or good employee and employers relationship or productivity and even for people like us - good customer relationship.

To ensure your office building has good Feng Shui, check the surrounding roads and neighbouring buildings to ensure you are not suffering the killing breath of Poison Arrows.   Be on the lookout for bodies of water which often bring good luck.

Feng Shui can also be applied to the interior decor of your offices, and for good measure, you can investigate your personal auspicious directions (based on the formulae of the Pa Kua Lo Shu School) in my book Applied Feng Shui and then activate them by orientating your main door and your sitting position in an auspicious direction.

The “good fortune” bamboo plant is ideal to place in the entrance of your house- and having an indoor garden they said is good feng shui for the entire family.  Bamboo has always been included in traditional Chinese Gardens. It has been long considered in Asia as a plant of Good Fortune.  Chinese Gardens provided a setting for man to communicate with nature and honor his spiritual essence.  The Chinese used plants as spiritual symbols, and the Bamboo Plant represents strength and flexibility. The bamboo plant can grow in poor conditions and limited light.

Summer is going by so fast - and school will be starting sooner than you think - have you done your school lists for your kids yet?  We did ours last week as all Schools here in Canada opens on the 7th September.   A girlfriend from the States had asked me about feng shui for education luck - not for her kids but for herself - as she is taking an online course and needed to focus.   We all know that it takes a lot of discipline when doing an online course or studies and dedication from your own part - but finding a good online school is just as important - so here are some tips.

There are several Feng Shui good fortune symbols you can use to activate and enhance academic success.The Northeast is the direction which governs education and displaying relevant symbols helps to energize this area of the house. I use a Crystal globe - for this is a popular symbol used to improve luck in education and the globe is a powerful energizer for success in fields related to education and literature. This Symbol can be also placed on the child’s study desk or on the northeast area for luck in examinations.

I love abstract designs a lot - especially since i pride myself as being an arty farty person - now don’t laugh at me now.  But i was told the other day to avoid triangular or abstract design in paintings because it represents arrows and can indirectly harm me and my family.  So to be safe rather than sorry - i took mine down - so i thought i should let you all know about it.

Sleeping below the toilet is a no - no !  so if you have a bedroom that is just below the toilet - you cannot sleep in the bedroom.  Why?  they said that bad energy will descend from the toilet into that bedroom.  So what do you do with that bedroom you ask ?  so did i!  you can leave a bedroom empty - that would just be such a waste would it…??   I would if i could change the store room into the room below the bathroom - if i cannot - then I would probably use this room as a spare room - a guest room.

We all want growth at home and office - growth?  what does it mean?  growth in wealth and health - don’t we all look forward to it and work forward to it?  well - health is definitely more important to me.  We’ve bought some Casablanca ceiling fans for our store - to keep the stale air out in this hot summer - but i also hear that placing fresh flowers in the south area, southeast and east sector can encourage growth in both the home and office.   When we say fresh flowers - it can be flowers from your garden - and alternatively - fans - why ceiling fans?  we chose that because it does a way better job than stand alone fans - from what we’ve seen.  Not only does it keep the entire store cool -  it’s good for fengshui - we loved our ceiling fans.

Did you know that in any business - your reception area is the first place that anyone has in  contact with you and your business?   So don’t you think that it is only right that one pays attention to give a lasting impression to anyone who walks into your business?  To feng shui your reception area - follow the below steps.

Someone wrote to me about corporate feng shui for her small business - why?  because they seems to be running into some sorta “bad luck” as she puts it.  There has been small bumps a long the way - in the recent months and she asked if I can give her any kind of insight.  I asked her what kind of bumps?  she said even her electronics are going bonkers of late.  Her iphone had gotten lost - her notebook crashed on her and everything didn’t seems to run as smoothly.

Once again - like i tell everyone - Feng Shui isn’t magic - and if you have things missing or your notebook or ipod or any electronics busted - then try iphone warranty or notebook warranty.  Having things busted is part and parcel of life - it doesn’t mean anything but to have your electronics replaced.  Now if you have them insured then of course - you never need to feel that the feng shui in your office or your home or even your kids in college being in bad feng shui.  So yes - Feng shui is about common sense mostly - there you have it.
