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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Buying a house has got to be the biggest investment in anyone’s life and some property agent - who knows a bit of feng shui may use this to mislead you into buying a house that may be detrimental to your health and wealth.  How so?  I was out buying some hgh supplements when i overheard the lady in front of me saying that her property agent guy told her that the open drain in front of her potential house is a water dragon and would bring the family tremendous wealth.

True and not true - it depends on where the water is coming from - for a water dragon to be a “real” water dragon - the water must come from a natural waterfall or spring.  So remember a drain is always a drain and can never turn into a water dragon.   Do not fall into this old age trap of the glib tongue of the owner of the house or the property agent - in all my years buying and selling houses - my own - i’ve seen all the tricks used.  An open drain usually means - Sha Qi - no good - bad for the occupants and also bad for money.
