Feng Shui CrazyMaking My World A Better One

I would love to buy one of this trees to be put at home.  It is said that the Honey Calcite tree is used to enhance psychic abilities and thus help you to have a high consciousness, it is said to enhance intellect and memory  - great for someone like myself - who is an owner by association to the spouse’s business.

Aside from that - it is said that it’s beneficial for one’s health especially the kidney, bladder and the female organs plus menopause.  Used by massage therapist as massage stones for the longest time and also great for children with bed wetting problems.  The gold wire on the trunk of the tree symbolizes wealth and prosperity.   So now you can understand why I want one of this Honey Calcite tree right.

Tomorrow my best friend in Malaysia will be attending Joey Yap’s class about how one can maximize your wealth potential for 2012.  With the current economy and financial situation around the world - I’m sure anyone would benefit from this class.  Only 50 people will be attending this class - and I really wished I was one.  I want to grow my wealth too - don’t you ?  no one refuses money - but of course - good feng shui doesn’t revolved around wealth alone - wealth is only one aspect of our life.

So you have a store ?  and you want to have a lot of customers come into your store right?  so how do one attract your customers to want to come in all the time and buy things from you?  A warm and inviting store is the way to go - but most importantly - your presentation of your goods need to be inviting too.  If you don’t dust your goods - and someone wants to buy it - what would they be thinking?  that it is old stock and it might not work as well as the newer ones?  It’s not rubbish like what my spouse thinks- because when you go get a carton of milk - wouldn’t you choose the freshest one - the one right behind the rest?  I do - so therefore a warm and inviting store is important - but keeping your goods fresh and dust free is just as important.

It’s the holiday season - and it means you want to bring cheer and harmony all around your home and office - so what do one do - with feng shui to promote good holiday vibes all around - i was asked.

First of all - like any holiday - i suggest decluttering - and making the home or office clean.  And then of course - you make more space for people to hang around and decorate your home and office with things you love and not because you have to decorate or because it’s the most expensive thing you can find to display.

Important thing to remember about feng shui for the holiday season is to make sure that your Christmas tree does not block your walkway - put it at a corner where it is not blocking anything but yet visible from the inside and outside.

Any gold ornaments or ribbons and red colors are good for feng shui - because it represents the yang for the festive season - so now you know what to do - so run along and feng shui for the holiday season.

I read somewhere that the outlook of your home - actually tells what kind of person lives inside the home and after looking at the pictures of the home - I can understand what the author was trying to say.  I also reflected on the outlook of my own home - and decided that I should do some changes and make sure that the outside is also warm and welcoming instead of being so protective over my own property and asking people to move their cars away from my front yard - so they don’t block my view.  I should also start planting some plants and have some pathway lights to the front of my home - to give it a more welcoming look.  I see how people can mistaken that we are not warm people from the outlook of our home - and I certainly don’t want that.  So if you find that  your home looks cold and unwelcoming - make sure you start making changes now.

I find it really hard to give advice on those who wants to be property investors - because there are so many factors in the properties to look at.   As you all know I’m no expert - I’m just someone who practices it - and believes that feng shui can help make our life better.

We are also looking to invest in a building lately - and since the investment is huge - we needed to consult someone about it before we embark on our adventure which may make us comfortable in life or break us.  Different properties needs different kind of feng shui factor - and since we are investing for a store - we have been warned that the Xuan Kong Feng Shui affects the different stars and thus might cause the business to make or break.  Every placement in the store is carefully looked at - the traffic flow of your customers coming into the store - where your cash register is - all these affect the property you are in.  Very intense right?  so yes - for the property investors - best to get a good feng shui master to help out - or take course for it.  In the meantime, we are going to sit put - and see if I can contact Joey Yap to do an online consultation.

I`ve recently bought a e-book from Joey Yap and started reading and analyzing my own Bazi - to see how I can improve myself, my wealth and my health.  And thus far - whatever I`ve read about my Bazi - is pretty spot on.  Apparently, I have an obstacle in wealth - and because of my ignorance - I may get into a lot of trouble if I don`t do something about it.

Truthfully speaking I don`t like managing money - I like the spouse to do that - so I guess I cannot be so reliant on the spouse - and get my act together.   I don`t think I`m the only person who possess this kind of traits because I`ve heard many woman say - how lost they are - when the spouse leave them for another woman.  Therefore, if you want to overcome this obstacle - I will post the solution or suggestion in my next post.

I asked my dear friend - who has a special talent with relationship Bazi about how come some people can be such good friends with you at one time and then totally turn around and turn into another person.  Why do we think that at times that this relationship is genuine and then turned out to be not.  Did I really make such a bad mistake in judging people?  So this was what he showed me.

Some people come into and out of our lives for a reason. Some relationships are meant to be very short. Sometimes they come and then disappear forever. Other times they are ongoing but intermittent.

In BaZi, this is the concept of affinity. When you have good affinity with someone, they can appear for a reason, for a period or even, for a lifetime. But when the affinity has passed - then cherished the good memories, learn to let go graciously and move on with life.

What a timely message.

You get what you tolerate in life.

If you tolerate your own mediocre performance, you get mediocre performance.

I believe, in many ways, this is also true for relationships and in business.

In Relationships:
If you tolerate an abusive relationship. You get what you tolerate.
If you tolerate an unfaithful relationship. You get what you tolerate.
If you tolerate a boring, lackluster, unhappy relationship. You get what you tolerate.

Perhaps it’s time to do something to improve it or simply call it quits and move on. Otherwise, stop complaining, you get what you tolerate.

In Business:
If you tolerate poor staff performance. You get what you tolerate.
If you tolerate poor excuses. You get what you tolerate.
If you tolerate being taken advantaged by uncooperative (and lazy) colleague. You get what you tolerate.

Perhaps it’s time to step up and make a change.

Many a times when people seek help with feng shui it is because they are at a crossroad. They  don’t know what to do or what decisions to make. I don’t think anyone can make the decision for them nor tell them what to do exactly.  But a good feng shui master would show them options and some options are pretty obvious while others are not - according to their Bazi charts.

In situations like these - a simple advice would be “When in doubt, do the next right thing. It’s usually something quite small”.

Sometimes when you are in crossroads of your life - it’s like driving your car at night. You never really can see further than your headlights. But hey - you can still make the entire journey that way. All you need is to see enough light to get moving.

Most people would know the next step to take but it’s so small we don’t see it cuz our vision is set so far ahead …that all we see is a really frightening leap instead of a tiny little baby step forward. So what happens? We just wait, and wait and wait …. as if the grand PLAN will be revealed by itself and a red carpet roll out at our feet.
