Feng Shui CrazyMaking My World A Better One

My friend from Asia had asked me if she can use a fish bowl instead of a water fountain for her wealth corner - just the other day  - and I had told her that they are the same and represent the same.  Abundance - just like using a poster printing of the 8 -9 fishes on your wealth corner wall - it does the same thing too - represents abundance.   Some people insist on using real hand painted drawing of those gold fishes - but I learned that it is not the object - but how the object can activate your wealth corner.  Plus if you feel that the poster print can make your home look nice - why not?  it does no harm according to Joey Yap.  You see - i’m learning a new technique these days for Feng Shui - and i’m gonna share it with you all once i’m done the 10 days course.

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.

Unclutter, Unclutter and More Uncluttering that’s what i try to do every week and every chance i can get.  Why..?? Clutter is a known obstacle to the flow of chi. It can have an effect on health as well as the overall energy levels and quality of life. Too much clutter can drain your energy as well as impede good energy from flowing into your home or life. Getting rid of the clutter can also help get rid of the negative load that affects your life. By clearing clutter, you are creating a harmonious environment in your home flowing with good energy.

Now that the summer is here and it’s hot and humid most days - there is no reason to keep the windows and doors closed like you did during the winter. In order to fill your home with good chi, you may need to have good quality air as well as lighting. In feng shui, it is believed that chi flows through with the help of air as well as natural light. Because of this, it is essential to make use of these two elements to ensure that the home flows with good chi. To allow the good energy into your home, you would need to open your windows often to let natural air into the home.You can also use air purifying plants or an air purifier at home to make sure that the air remains clean and pure. Also try to allow as much natural light into your home to allow good chi to fill your home.

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.

I had read on a feng shui blog from a pretty famous practitioner that if you have mole on your face - regardless big or small - removing it does not change your destiny.  Interesting  ! because I’ve known people who have had their moles removed just because they are told that it brings back luck.  The Chinese believes that the moles on your face tells a story and my kid has one on her face too - i had always wondered to myself what it meant and apparently if i read correctly - it means good fortune at a young age - but she has gotta be careful during old age - because the face reading claimed that if she doesn’t safe guard her good fortune - she would lose it when she gets older.  Now if you have lots of mole or acne on your face - that doesn’t count - best to get the  best acne treatments and find out which are your real moles before going for a reading.  Tell you more after I’ve read what each number means.

They said that when choosing your house to live in - one shouldn’t be choosing one that is bigger or smaller than your neighbouring ones - and that i can definitely say is true.  Why? because this could bring misunderstanding and problems with your neighbors.  My other neighbour on my left who has a smaller house than us - gave us trouble and we had misunderstand the first month we moved in - wherelse the rest of the houses - the same size as us - we never had any and I’ve been living in my present house for 10 yrs now. So how can i not believe it.  That troublesome neighbour even had to compare who had the  cheapest car insurance with another neighbour of ours - now how crazy is that. So remember when you are buying a house… make sure you choose one with the same size… not bigger or smaller eh.

Everyone knows that the kitchen is the heart of the family - why? because everyone gathers and have lunch or dinner there or for just about any occasion.  Unfortunately, with our busy lifestyle, we tend to sit in front of our computer or tv to eat.  I’m so guilty of that but to keep the family together - one really have to work on the dining room - so i was told by my feng shui master.

Do not have your dining room facing any toilet or have walls of toilet sharing with your dining room - thank God we don’t have that.  But if you do ?  well, make sure you have the door closed all the time.  Use a mirror - wall mirror of course  - to reflect the abundance of food on your dining table to double your good fortune.  Do not eat directly under a toilet - now that is a real taboo.  Do not eat in the basement - do not eat near the front door because all your good luck tends to go out that way too.  Make sure the dining area is bright and well colored and place a set of “fuk, luk sau” in the dining room.  Hope this is helpful.

Chi cleansing and why it is important to every household and businesses.  You see the environment can become negative thru’ the people or things that walks into our life, therefore it is important to cleanse the chi to return good energy to the household or business.  Good chi is important because it creates success in the lives of the people who resides or work in them.

So now that you know that chi cleansing is important - how does one cleanse the bad chi from your surroundings?  There is a Chi cleansing kit that contains the sound tools based on metal nosies which helps in purifying the bad chi area.  A wooden mallet provides balance between the metal and wood and this kit can be found in any online feng shui store.  The Chi cleansing kit includes scents and incenses that is said to be some chinese traditional cure for bad chi.  So if you want harmony and health in your family or business - sort out the chi cleansing kit.

Many people are not aware the the entrance to your home - and how it looks is very important to your well being - not only in health but wealth.  Why?  because it separates what you own and what is outside .. and those that don’t belong to you.   It was a Cyber Monday for us girls - when one of the girls in the group asked me this question.   How can io feng shui my home entrance.

By feng shuiing your home entrance, it is said that you not only bring coziness, peace and harmony - bliss is what we are all looking for with everyone under the same roof.   Taking precaution and finding cures is necessary because you do not want the bad qi or bad energy to surround your property nor your loved ones.  And yes - both the outside and inside of your home are surrounded by them - it’s not hard and I’m gonna go step by step in my next few post and give you some tips i learned myself and have been using for years now.
