Feng Shui – How It Can Help You in Your Job

Posted on June 21, 2019 by blogger

Feng Shui enables you to calculate the energies of the building and recommend remedies for the problems that might exist – both before and after you are within a building (or space).

Your office is your resource base. The energy patterns surrounding it have an important influence on your entire life and your financial well being.

Feng Shui uses placement and design to balance and enhance energy flow. Although this ancient Eastern art was developed well before the evolution of the modern office, the principles are applicable to your workplace. So, if you are feeling overstressed and under inspired at work, the following tips might help:

1.Avoid offices that are at the dead-end of a street / road. 2.Do not have two parallel sliding doors into the main office space. Figuratively, the number of employees who quit work is equal to the number that joins. So, it is back to square one, in terms of number of employees on the rolls. 3.Do not sit in such a way that your back faces your boss. Either get a small wooden partition to block the view or change your seat position. Have round or oval shaped tables in the conference room. This will promote good understanding between the members in a board meeting. 4.Never let your subordinates working at a higher ground level than you or your boss sitting on a lower ground level than you. The ground level too should follow hierarchies for all practical purposes. 5.The marketing / sales department (which facilitates cash flow into the office) should have lots of open space to move around. There should be lots of light and breeze flowing in to the room. 6.Keep the entrance of your office free from any obstacle That is after a customer opens the door, he should not immediately confront a huge table (often the receptionist’s table) or a cubicle. 7.When you enter your office (or cubicle, the first thing you see should be an object that makes you happy. It could be a photo or plant – anything that makes you happy to be entering the space. 8.Position your desk as far from the door as possible. If your desk is too close to the door, it gives the impression that you are irresponsible and trying to sneak out of the office early! If your desk is against a wall, it blocks the flow of energy. Make sure that you sit facing the door or window. If this is not possible, hang a mirror above your computer or hang chimes over the door so you can see who’s coming into your office. If you can’t see a window from your desk, hang a picture of the outdoors or a plant directly in your line of vision. Don’t sit under a vent – the draft creates a bad feng shui. If you can’t move your desk, hang a scarf or flag under the vent to direct the draft away from you. 9.Have at least one object in your office that has got nothing to do with your work. A picture of your family, the cricket schedule or a favorite poster will remind you that you have a life outside the office and help create a sense of balance in your day.

Adopting these suggestions can help improve the environment but they can not guarantee success. You still have to work hard at your job!

Feng Shui – A Few Bad Stars

Posted on May 31, 2019 by blogger

In Chinese Metaphysics, there are many types of systems and formulas. One of them is known as Flying Stars systems of Feng Shui. In this system, there are nine types of stars which are given numeral of 1 – 9. These stars are actually bodies of energy (also known as Qi) that moves within a property. In Feng Shui, a property is divided into nine equal sectors based on compass direction of North, South, East, West, Northeast, Southeast, Northwest and Southwest. The sector without any compass direction is the center. The distribution of Qi over these sectors demarcates the good and bad sectors therein and formed an energy pattern within a property. The energy pattern in a property will change from month to month and year to year as the stars fly from one sector to the other.

In Flying Stars Feng Shui, a property belonged to a period of time based on its facing direction. There are altogether nine periods and each period has 20 years based on the Chinese Solar Calendar. We are currently in period 8 which started in February 2004 and will last until February 2023. In each period, the nine flying stars are categorizes into good and bad stars. The good stars are deemed timely and will bring prosperity to residents of a property whereas the bad ones are considered untimely and become portents of misfortune. For this period, the few bad stars are 2, 3, 5 and 7.

Star 2 is considered inauspicious as it is the illness star of the period. It brings sickness, ill health and other ailments to the residents when it flies into a given sector of a property. For example, star 2 occupies the Northwest sector in the year 2008. A house with the main entrance in the Northwest sector or a room in the Northwest sector will be afflicted with the negative energy of this star and the residents will feel sick and unwell.

Star 3 is deemed inauspicious as it is the quarrelsome star for the period. This star portends discord, arguments and miscommunication. It brings disharmony to the residents. In year 2008, this star flies into the West sector of a property. A door or room where this star is located will subject the residents therein to arguments and relationship problems.

Star 5 is the most inauspicious as it is the misfortune star for the period. This star is also known as the Five Yellow. It is the harbinger of illness, accidents, calamity and other misfortune. In year 2008, this star flies into the South sector of a property. A door or room with this star brings losses and suffering, financially or health-wise, to the residents.

Star 7 is also inauspicious as it is the robbery star for the period. This star can cause residents to be accident prone and suffer injury. The other negative aspect of this star is the possibility of thefts and robbery occurring on the property. In year 2008, this star flies into the Southwest sector of a property. A door or room with this star brings hazards such as accidents, injury and thefts.

Whichever sectors these stars flies into within a property, residents should avoid staying or spending time there.

Ancient Chinese Secrets For A Lasting Marriage Or Relationship

Posted on May 16, 2019 by blogger

Are most long married couples unhappy with their relationship? This is the question that has being bugging me for a while. As a Feng Shui consultant, I come across many clients with less than happy marriages. Many times my clients will ask me for a secret cure or recommendation that would miraculously improve their relationship with their spouse.

So, I asked a few of my married friends for their opinion. I chose this select group because they are older – over fifty years old – and have been married for many years. Their answer was quite shocking- to me. Based on their personal experience and those of their friends, they think that 90% of married couples are, in one way or another, unhappy with their relationships.

Granted that they do not live happily ever after, as in the fairy tales, this is still quite sad if it is indeed true.

Is there a cure? Maybe there is.

In many olden societies, such as the Chinese, where arranged marriages are commonplace, it is a practice to check the horoscope (Ba Zi) of the intended couple for compatibility, before they are allowed to tie the knot.

Does this always work? It increases the chance but it does not work all the time. However through years of observation, they found out that if you combine it with some conditions, you can increase the chances of having a happy and lasting marriage.

While this wisdom is for everyone, it is even more critical for those with a history of unsuccessful marriages or relationships, to take note.

Here are some of the conditions.

In the old days, the husband must always be older than the wife. This is like a tradition. It cannot and should not be broken. However the ancients also observed that for those with unsuccessful marriages or relationships, breaking the tradition – i.e. having an older wife can strangely be the answer. To the ancient Chinese, the wife is considered older even if she is a day older than the husband. However for better results, a wider age gap is preferred.

The other option for a more successful relationship is for the husband to be much older than the wife. To the ancient Chinese, much older means at least 8 years apart. In practice, 10 or 15 years older is perfectly acceptable or desired.

It would also increase the chances if there is a big disparity in the social and economic standard between the husband and the wife. For example the husband is a highly educated CEO of a large corporation while the wife is a much lesser educated person from a poor family. Can it be the other way around? It is unlikely in the old days because the husband is always the breadwinner. However in this modern times, where many women out-earn their husbands, why not?

This next condition only applies to the woman at least in the old days. If she cannot be a successful first wife, it does not mean that she cannot be successful being the second or third one. So, being the other women can be an option that leads to success! I am not sure about being the other man though!

What if none of the above works?

The final option is to have a spouse that is of a different race or from a different culture. For example, an Indian and a Chinese or between two Chinese brought up in different places. For example, one brought up in China and in the other in the United States.

These are wisdoms that our forefathers have passed down to us. So, and especially, if you are relationship challenged, give it a try. There is nothing to lose!

Feng Shui Interprets Mobile Homes

Posted on March 18, 2019 by blogger

There is a little bit of a debate amongst traditional Feng Shui practitioners in how to assess a Mobile Home. When a regular home is being built, energies from the earth below will combine with the energies emanating from the stars and planets above. It helps define a combination of timing and orientation. When a roof is installed, it sandwiches these earthly and celestial energies into a magnetic field that can be calculated and interpretted.

For example, we can say that a house which was built in 1965 that faces East is in a phase right now and until 2024 where it undermines fertility for the occupants trying to conceive.

So, how can we interpret a Mobile Home which was manufactured somewhere and then placed on the land, without the same criteria as a regular construction? Some Feng Shui practitioners feel reduced to using more generic or basic interpretations for these kinds of living spaces. In my own practice, I have not reviewed a tremendous amount of Mobile Homes to date. If I have evaluated around 4,000 properties, I may have only assessed less than fifty Mobile Homes. But based on my experience so far, they do appear to collect and “house” similar energies as a house built right on the land. So, if a Mobile Home was placed on a piece of land in 1965(and not moved since)with an east-facing orientation, then that Mobile Home could easily have similar influences on the occupants as described for the conventionally built home.

On a related note, not considered part of classical feng shui, but certainly something to consider: living inside a metal box could be undermining for your health over time. As a conductor for electrical fields, living in a metal box could be the final straw for someone with significant health problems. I have a dear friend who has struggled with treating her skin cancer, while living in a Mobile Home. She was instructed to move by a macro-biotic nutritionist, saying that living in a metal box was on par with living in a really polluted environment, counter-productive to getting well.

In contrast to their basic, rectangular shape, Mobile Homes often have a non-obvious orientation. Do they face the street which they have been placed on or do they face the same direction as where the entry door is, often on the “side” of the mobile home? The orientation could go either way, depending on the location of other surrounding structures or landscaping features. So, what might appear to be a very simple space to analyze can in fact be a challenge. With Mobile Homes some of the basic principles regarding floor plans have to be modified, so they are dealt with on a case by case basis.

Feng Shui for your Computer

Posted on March 4, 2019 by blogger

Although feng shui principles are usually applied to the real world, your virtual environment could also benefit from less clutter. Follow these steps to desktop nirvana.

Go for a minimalist look. Many programs install start-up icons on your desktop, making it difficult to find what you really want. Reduce the clutter by removing everything from your desktop, except the stuff you need. Keep the icons for -My Computer’ or your hard drive, the Recycle Bin, the CD drive and your browser and bin everything else. You don’t need everything in plain view.

While you’re making friends with the Recycle Bin, get rid of everything else you don’t need – shareware you’ve once used, wallpaper, sound files, email. Be ruthless – as long as you don’t want it and it’s not in the Windows folder, delete it. Anything with a .tmp extension in the filename can be safely removed too.

There’s only so much clutter you can take away manually. Programs leave bits and pieces of themselves in hard-to-find places, so get a friend to help you. Once you have removed everything, run a registry scan and a complete virus scan.

Organize your start menu if you’re a Windows user. New programs invariably place short cuts for themselves in the main part of the menu – after a while you can end up with a huge, unwieldy list that’s difficult to navigate. Combat the chaos by indexing programs as you go along. Remove redundant associations. If you’re not sure, leave them.

By now your computer should be more immaculate than when you first took delivery but there are still a couple of housekeeping tasks you need to perform to get it running harmoniously. Run a registry fix about once a week and set your antivirus to do a full system scan at least once a week too. If you’re running Windows XP then enable Windows Defender to do a full scan once a day, at a time when you are not using your computer. Leave your computer switched on and connected to the Internet permanently if you have a broadband Internet connection. Set your programs to automatically download and install updates.

Make yourself a cup of tea – preferably a calming herbal brew like chamomile. While it’s steeping, run a full virus scan. As you sip your tea, try to visualize a calm scenario – a placid lake in Autumn, for example. By the time you’ve finished your tea, your chi (energy) will be fully refreshed and your computer will be ready for the last stages of its feng shui makeover.

Add the final touches to your desktop. If you’ve had the same desktop theme since you bought your computer, change it now and add a new suite of sounds. Choose something you can live with – this is important. The number of computers physically damaged by users who had installed Hal from 2001 desktops themes is inestimable.

Reboot your machine. You’re making a new beginning and this is an important gesture that separates your old, cluttered and inefficient way of working from your new energy-balanced relationship with your computer. It also gets rid of the junk your machine couldn’t delete while it was running.
