Feng Shui CrazyMaking My World A Better One

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.

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.

• Create a professional look: Organized and Clutter-Free
• Focus on a “Yin” Feel – Comforting, Safe, Low Activity
• Use elemental Objects & Colors to Nourish the Energy and keep you, the Practioner Well-Balanced
• Use fans, green plants and water features to stimulate Chi Flow
• Create a calm atmosphere with larger, slow moving fish in a well-maintained aquarium – great for health practices
• Know that mirrors are active energy so use sparingly – never directly across from the front door

So after you finish reading the feng shui or the face of the two titans - from Joey Yap - are you buying shares from Microsoft or Apple  - the spouse asked me the other day.  We all know who Steve Job is - the co - founder of Apple and also the man who made Pixar Studios in an Academy award winner - as by Joey Yap.  Everyone knows Steve Job with or without a Mac or the iPhone or the iPad - i’m pretty sure of that.

So according to Joey Yap - Steve has a very good nose - with wide nostrils and downward dipping nose bulb.  So if you are looking for a future husband - make sure you choose wisely because these features means that he is someone who is very savvy financially and has money for generations.

According to Joey Yap - Steve Job has a more superior face - i’ve always heard that people with high and broad forehead are the ones who are very clever and good and analyzing and solving problems.  And if one has a wide forehead like Steve - it means that he has lots of good and help from the outside “quai yan”.

His eyebrows are like a warrior and is said to be courageous and man with principles.  But narrow chin also indicate health issues.  So although his ear lobes says that he will have a long life - he will have to battle with his health issues.  So the ball is at your court now - Apple or Microsoft shares?  I say both as just as good - I wished I had read this before these two got famous - now to buy a share of any of these companies cost an arm and a leg.   Anyhow - i hope the face reading was interesting for you as for me - thanks to Joey Yap for his explanation.

i have been following joey Yap very closely and if you know him - you will know why i follow his every seminar and every book and online exercises he have to share.  My friend in Singapore - May - went for his seminar on face reading recently and highlighted this interesting article from Joey yap.  So while i sat down one day at Starbucks finishing my vitamins for the day - i decided to finish up my coffee and read on it.

It was certainly a pretty interesting read - about the clashes of the two titans in the technology arena - we all know who Bill Gates is of course and Steve Job is no stranger either - with the recent launch of the iPad by Steve Job himself - anyone or everyone on the internet or uses the internet knows who he is.

Joey Yap said that the mouth area of Bill Gate is big and wide meaning good flags.  So bigger mouth according to Yap is a bigger say.  Ahhh..  !! so now we know.  So a huge mouth means an abundance of influence, power and respect.   So if you look at any business person - you have to see if the mouth is big  and a good flag from now on.  It is said that with a mouth like that people tend to listen and obey him. And if you look at Bill Gates’s nose - he has the classic lion’s nose -  i’ve heard that before - that is a businessman’s nose.  A nose that is large enough for the face but doesn’t look odd.

To be cont’d  - in the next post.

For years I’ve heard that the lava lamp works good for feng shui purposes - so one day while shopping for  fat burners we came across this lava lamp at the Source for real cheap - you can’t go wrong with something less than $3 right?  plus my snow globe that i had on top of the computer at the store stopped working - the train - so i decided to buy this for the store - just for good chi.

It is unanimously agreed by many feng shui masters that such lamps would be perfect for activating the chi energy of any space. They would be especially excellent for keeping the energy of the Southwest moving in an auspicious fashion, thereby creating the energy of nurturing and caring - in other words, love, loyalty, and the nurturing care of matriarchal energy.  So yes - if you are wondering if you should get a lava lamp - yes - but make sure you put them in the right position - do lots of research now.

I was reading about wrinkle cream reviews since I just came back from a facial and the esthetician  - said she was using an anti-aging mask on me this time.  I’m wondering if it was her subtle way of telling me - that i’m looking old? or have wrinkles? or perhaps - i was thinking of my esthetician new shop - and the position her store is in?

You see - certain things - one sees immediately and wonder if i should say anything.  But here are some thoughts if you do own your own business like we do.  When it comes to your store, how you design and arrange interiors as well as its exterior may affect the flow of good chi. First off, you should start by looking at your store’s facade. In order to achieve good feng shui, your store’s name, design and display should stand out. This is the result of good chi flowing into your store. The strong flow of the energy can be created by a strong and clear presence in the environment. In terms of your store, it should catch the attention of a passer by through its attractive display clean store name and good lighting.

After you have made well with your store exterior, you then need to check on your interiors. When you come inside, try to take note of what part of the room that instantly take your attention. Are you attracted to look towards the right or towards the left? The location to where you are drawn is considered to be the flow of chi inside your store. You can then make use of this idea to determine how you should make the good chi flow through your store. For this you may need to create some pathways for the energy to flow in the same way that you would want your customers to explore and see the items that you are selling.

I was at my optometrist place the other day - their new office - and it had been like a year since I had been in there.  The new office was very nice and all - the colors were perfect and so where the furniture placing. - they even have  humidifier filters in place.  But i turned and looked at the window and realized that there were oncoming traffic directly towards the store and i know that cannot mean good.

But like anyone who practices Feng Shui and believes in it - i wanted to tell her - but the right courtesy is not to say anything - unless you are being asked.  So i kept quiet and a check on the background of the building - nothing or no one had been in this building for more than a few years.  So lets hope she does ok eh.   But i’m not gonna say anything - that’s for sure.

10 yrs ago, when i first arrived in Canada - and the spouse had a business - i wanted to make sure that the place we were in - was a good place to continue business.  But you see in Asia - it’s easy to find a practitioner but to find a genuine one - now that is hard.  But in Canada - to find one alone is hard - but there is the internet right?  But I want to write about this - to warn others that even though some have had already been taught - it doesn’t mean anything.

I was out getting a Samsung HDTV when i met the lady who did our feng shui for our store some 8 yrs ago and i had wanted to go up to her to tell her she didn’t do a good job at all.  Sure she gave us a report and all but it wasn’t anything that I didn’t already know - so why should i be paying $200 and more for her consultation for not even half a day and some stuff that she sold us.

So for those of you out there - who are looking for a feng shui consultant, please, please make sure you agree on something and don’t be naive like myself and think that everyone is as honest as yourself.  Make sure you are completely satisfied before paying.

So I’ve been asked many times if putting a water fountain at home is a good thing…??  many people are told to have a water fountain at different part of their home - but i have to warn you that it is not true - sometimes the wheel of fortune as it is being called may be more detrimental to your wealth, business and health - than a help to you.

So be very careful where you place the water fountains - even if they are meant to be placed outdoors because the water fountain can cost your wealth to run out of your house instead of coming in.  Plus when yo do have water fountain - you have to keep them clean, i for one made a mistake by not cleaning mine that i had placed in our office.  So don’t make the same mistake as I.
