Feng Shui Colors and What do they Represent

November 14th, 2010
Comments Off

In Feng shui, there are different zones that could be tapped to enhance a particular energy flow. The energies come from the eight compass direction.

Taking the bagua as a point of reference it should come in the following order:

? The topmost portion of the bagua is divided into three zones namely (from left to right), the zone of wealth, reputation and partnership.

? The middle quadrants are family, taichi and creativity.

? The bottom quadrants represent zones for wisdom, career and helpful people.

Feng shui colors helps so much in advancing the good that you could get out of these directions because colors represent moods and temperaments. If anyone wants to maximize these positions, it would then follow that appropriate colors are adopted. One exception though is that to remember always that the whole point of Feng shui is the comfort and well being of people as they live in harmony with their surroundings. It would then only be practical not to adopt a color that one is not comfortable with. This is more so if the color serves to aggravate the people to whom these zones are intentioned.

The zone of wealth is a place that speaks of power. Improve the energy generated here by having purples and violets. You can also highlight this area with gold and red. Purples signify royalty and pageant. Gold and red signifies wealth and power. Avoid overdoing though, as this is the place of the wind. Too much of it could also generate confusion and conflicts.

The reputation and fame zones should also have the red color. Above anything else, the color red stands for power, virtue and truth. This is a place of fire so you could place symbols here that represent it. This is also the best corner to your fireplace and candle decorations.

Now that we’ve covered those aspects of Feng Shui, let’s turn to some of the other factors that need to be considered.

The partnership zone is a place in the house that is most conducive to romance and marriage, partnerships and growth. Lavish the room with pink.

The family zone and health area, this may yet be another of your favorite rooms. This is a place for family activities, a place to go back to your roots, rejuvenation and reminiscing. Green adds best to the energy of the room. Green is the color for healing, rebirth and springtime. It represents vegetation and hope. Put in greens but then, images and pictures where thunderclouds with lightning also helps.

The Taichi zone, your health zone. Your health energies get its best direction here. This zone enhances your spiritual, intellectual and physical sense of wellness. It is best to treat this zone as your exercise area. The color yellow should find its spot in this zone because yellow represents authority. The taichi zone is best placed in the center of the home. The bagua has its taichi zone at its center and it should always be kept clear and clean do likewise with your taichi zone.

The creativity zone is best adapted to whites. This is the zone of childhood or of bringing out the child in us. White represents purity both moral and spiritual.

The wisdom zone. Suited here are inspirational materials, pictures of a blue mountain and colors should be blue. The color blue is for calm, blessings and invites contemplation and has meditative effects on people.

The career zone should have a good sprinkling of black. Do not be bothered when black is considered a lucky color because black stands for depth, justice and seriousness. Whatever negative connotation it has can be balanced with other colors to absorb whatever is negative in the chi. Combine also with fans and crystals.

The friendship zone is also your helpful people zone. Celestial objects and images enhance this room so are pictures and curving of outstretched hands. The colors that best sit on this corner are grays and silvers because it is the color of connection.

Feng Shui Improvements for the Bedroom

November 12th, 2010
Comments Off

It is universally preferred that bedrooms must be rectangular in shape. A square shaped bedroom follows this preference then come the bedroom that is irregular in shape. This is so because the rectangular bedroom is the easiest way to decorate. Most items and furniture that goes inside the bedroom are rectangular and the decoration and items are better suited for that which takes on the shape of the room. The more irregular the shapes of the room, the more discomfort the occupant of the room feels, sometimes for reasons that are really not easy to dip a finger into.

For Feng shui experts, these could be explained in several ways and takes into consideration a lot of variables. But first things first. The most important room in the house is the master’s bedroom. This is the room where the Don Juan Tenoso of the house is bedded, the chairman of the board finds solace and the supreme pontiff rests. What happens in the main bedroom will affect to a very large extent the harmony all over the house, its well being and its finances. And so for Feng shui experts, this is a room that is taken very seriously.

To make this bedroom fit for the one who exerts the greatest influence in the household, careful considerations are placed. Examples are:

The direction of the bedroom in relation to the general house design, its sector from the point of the compass, and its shape. The position of the bed, the colors that are and should be employed including the decorations that are most appropriate. For Feng shui experts, this goes without saying that even the smallest of detail must have relevancy similar to how a modern interior decorator does in making judgments and decisions.

You may not consider everything you just read to be crucial information about Feng Shui. But don’t be surprised if you find yourself recalling and using this very information in the next few days.

The shape.
While it is often best to have a rectangular bedroom, there will always be the personal preference of the occupant. If the room happens to be irregular in shape, screen dividers that signify good fortune are often employed. The fun thing though is that, often these screen dividers will be placed in such a way that the configuration of the room will be altered to a semblance rectangularity. While mirrors are often placed in posts to direct flow of the chi, these are not employed in the bedrooms as Feng shui cures.

Positioning the bed.
In Feng shui every individual has a Kua number. This determines the best position for the bed and is decided by Feng shui experts. If the best position cannot be achieved because of the location and direction of the room, the next best direction is chosen. As mentioned the kua number is a more personal thing and so the Feng shui expert is in a position to make the determination as this also involves placements of the kua trigrams in the eight direction of the room where each represents a family member and their individual directions.

The Color.
As bedrooms are places of rests, it is not wise to make rooms, decorations, sheets etc. to be brightly colored. Muted colors are preferred. Some aspects of these though could be changed depending on the personality of the occupant and which side of the character needs to be augmented. The general rule though is not to make the room appear neither too yin nor too yang.

For decorations, Symbols of love placed in the direction of the South and the West is believed to enhance relationships and love.

When word gets around about your command of Feng Shui facts, others who need to know about Feng Shui will start to actively seek you out.

Improving the Workflow through a Feng Shui Office Layout

November 10th, 2010
Comments Off

Office spaces today are very expensive especially when it is located in prime locations. This is one of the reasons why office spaces must be utilized and is normally designed with the end view of maximizing every space that is available.

Upfront this space utilization is very cost effective from the standpoint of office rentals. But then the constant rubbing of elbows of the employees could either result in office politicking, tension and friction that are also contributors to time wasters.

The Feng shui office layout tries as much as possible to veer away from the typical designs. As with everything else related with Feng shui, the main concern will be harmony and the harmonizing of all the elements as well and allowing the free flow of the chi which in turn results to the feeling of well being of its occupants.

Examples of the Feng shui office designs are the following:

? The four-leaf clover table arrangement.

Not only are four leaf clovers symbols of good fortune, this type of table arrangement allows each individual to sit in a position that he is best suited. When individuals are seated in directions as determined by his kua, the chances that the person will be at his working best is greatly increased.

? The Sheng Chi and the Fu Wei sitting orientation.

The office staff plays different roles. To enhance the roles, another option for a Feng shui office layout is to direct the sitting and table orientation of the staff according to the direction that are conducive to maximizing good Feng shui. In this Feng shui office layout, the managers will be facing the wealth direction or the Sheng chi. For the entry level and most rank and file positions, their direction will be oriented to the personal development or the Fu Wei direction.

You may not consider everything you just read to be crucial information about Feng Shui. But don’t be surprised if you find yourself recalling and using this very information in the next few days.

? The Dragons Path.

In Feng shui, the dragon is believed to bring good luck, prosperity and wealth, the bigger the dragon, the better the chances of the symbol to bring in success. Creating a traffic flow that winds through the office simulates the dragon’s path. Carpets, pebbles, tiles, wood etc. could be used as the river that is regarded as the path of the dragon.

Aside from the general layout of the Feng shui office, symbols that represent the bringing in of wealth are also integrated in the Feng shui office design.

? Avoiding the poison arrows.

The poison arrows are more likely to be found in cramped office spaces but nonetheless has to be checked out and avoided at all cost. Sharp objects, exposed sharp corners of walls, the corner of a desk of a co-worker, edges of cabinets, even the thorn of a cactus plant must not be placed in a direct path to where you are sitting.

? The wall behind you.

Whenever possible, workers and managers must be sitting with a solid wall behind them. It is never advisable in Feng shui office design to sit behind a glass window. If this cannot be avoided, a poster or painting of a mountain will have to cover the glass window to provide a symbol of solidity and rigidity.

? The energy flow.

Like any Feng shui design, the Feng shui office should be laid out in such a way that there is a continuous flow of the chi inside the rooms and work areas. Enough spaces should be provided and not blocked, exposed beams and clutter should be avoided. Pathways especially the ones leading to the doors and entranceways must be cleared and unobstructed.

Feng Shui and Why has the Practice Persisted

November 10th, 2010
Comments Off

The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.

A belief, a system or a dogma that has existed, survived and is still in popular use is worth taking a second look. To dismiss them would simply be idiotic as many already did and have proven nothing aside from making a belief that they do not cotton into only to be advertised the more and inadvertently help its propagation.

There will always be the skeptics and believe me, they have had their share of helping issues to be advertised freely and more forcefully since once they have committed their emotions into fighting against one; it happens that they become even more vocal than the adherents. It is true with religions, ideologies, new inventions and discoveries and yes, even Feng shui.

And so again, what is Feng shui and for centuries now, why has it survived?

In a nutshell, Feng shui is the result of the persistence of man in trying to live with his environment through harmonizing with it so that he gathers the positive forces and influences of nature to improve his wellness. Not a bad idea at all. In fact it almost sound like most of the precepts in all the major religions except that it is not a religion. It is a practice. A belief system developed since the ancient times in China. Feng shui has persisted and spread, to almost all the known parts of the world. Unbeknownst to many cultures, many Feng shui principles are already being practiced by them although with different connotations and justifications.

If you don’t have accurate details regarding Feng Shui, then you might make a bad choice on the subject. Don’t let that happen: keep reading.

The practice of Feng shui has taken a prominent consideration in building designs, selecting sites, locations, decorations, business, personal practices, interrelationships, houses, rooms, pathways, medicine, name it. Feng shui could be applied to almost everything and yes even the contour of a face and the force of character and vision in a person is said to be contributors to gaining good qi (pronounced as chi, a kind of energy from which life emanates) or not. Almost everything could be drawn to gain good Feng shui or bad Feng shui. It could have thousands of applications ? from womb to tomb.

It is not exactly known when and where Feng shui started. There are very few written accounts of Feng shui prior to the last century. The practice then was to hand over the knowledge by word of mouth, from master to the student.

Even with that, the practice of Feng shui continued and improved. One thing that it owes to is that Feng shui is intuitive in nature and is practical. While it has often been dismissed as superstition, a bull and a crap, by those who are against it, its longevity could be traced to the benefits of all those who applied its principles. This proves as always, that the best argument is never good enough when it is aimed against success.

Feng shui holds so much validity for the Orientals that there were Chinese emperors who had their Feng shui experts executed for fear that the knowledge could be used against them. In the 19th century, the Chinese government has control over the distribution of charts, numerical data and diagrams that were included in the almanacs that it releases to the public.

Feng shui is an old practice that has developed through the centuries. In fact it is a part of the Chinese philosophy. The earliest formal account though is through the writings of Chu Hsi who lived during the Song Dynasty around 1126 to 1278. His writings then became the foundation of the practice of Feng shui. But as already mentioned, Feng shui foes a long way back.

Of course, it’s impossible to put everything about Feng Shui into just one article. But you can’t deny that you’ve just added to your understanding about Feng Shui, and that’s time well spent.

Improve the Chi, Clean Your Clutter with Feng Shui

November 7th, 2010
Comments Off

Would you like to find out what those-in-the-know have to say about Feng Shui? The information in the article below comes straight from well-informed experts with special knowledge about Feng Shui.

Above anything else, Feng shui strives for healthful and comfortable living.

The chi being a life giving force should get the entire path it needs to circulate inside the home freely. Clutter will in a very big way reduce its potency.

To achieve this, the house must be a very pleasant, cleaned space:

Windows, sills, screens, and curtains are often not placed in the highest priority of the cleaning list when compared to the sweeping of dirt and vacuuming rugs and carpets and picking up the nits and grits that clutters the eye more readily. And yet these are the entry points where the chi passes. In English, these are ventilation passages and are only logical to clean these passages very well to insure entry of clean air and allow the stale ones to escape.

Do not allow your house to be overwhelmed by accessories and other stuffs. These are not only dust gatherers, they also makes cleaning more cumbersome. Its as if you wouldn’t know where to start thereby putting up the cleaning for later. Even if cleaning maids are available, over stuffing the house disrupts a sense of balance. It could also endanger harmony and interrelationships of the objects and the symbol it represents.

So far, we’ve uncovered some interesting facts about Feng Shui. You may decide that the following information is even more interesting.

It is also for this reason that you should not keep furniture and have them getting in the way for the reason that they are expensive and are a waste to keep them in the storage. Better yet, ask yourself about the purpose of the room and be guided by that purpose according to the objects that you want placed and displayed there. Not so much perhaps from the point of view alone of aesthetics but on purpose, what it represents and the pleasant feelings and mood that particular object evokes.

When you accessorize, keep pointed objects to a minimum. Objects with pointed edge clutters the eye more than those with rounded ones. What’s more, you could be having poison arrows pointed to your direction, which in Feng shui would spell danger.

Having clean lines on the flooring also helps to have a pleasant feel unlike those with irregular lines that adds to a cluttered image.

Open doors and windows every now and then, this will let the stale air out and the fresh ones in but clean the dust as soon as you can. Never let air openings be closed for long periods at of time, as this will prevent the chi from entering the house.

Keep toilet doors closed even when they are very clean.

Keeping objects displayed in the house that makes you feel aggravated should be discarded. In fact, get rid of things that you do not use. Keeping them in the house adds so much to clutter. It is in this area where many people will have difficulty in doing. Usually people keep things believing that they will use it at a later date. In reality though, those things that were kept for “later use” but has never been used for at least six months will never see the light of day again. Get rid of them and feel the sense of freedom of clearing clutter the Feng shui way.

Feng Shui Mirror: To Cure or not to Cure

November 2nd, 2010
Comments Off

Even today, a Feng shui mirror draws controversy. What is not controversial about it though is its ability to reflect light to spots, which needed highlighting and illumination and the visual effects it creates. The beauty that it adds to the house, its decorative value, the extra space it generates and its functionality is both accepted whether by western oriented Feng shui thought or the traditional. A Feng shui mirror, no matter what the controversy that lies in its efficacy as a Feng shui cure, serves a good purpose. Feng shui mirrors should be employed whenever appropriate.

There are two opposing line of thoughts regarding a Feng shui mirror. Mainly it lies between whether a Feng shui mirror is a cure or not.

For people that contend that it is a cure, they believe that illuminating the house evenly is important in managing the chi. To leave a dark spot in the home and its perimeter would be compromising the chi’s distribution. A Feng shui mirror also acts as a cure to have them at posts and columns so that the flow of the energy inside a house or an establishment is corrected. The contention is that Feng shui mirrors placed in this manner works to deflect bad energy. The manner in which it is used in this way acts similar to the way a pain reliever does to the body.

On the other hand, those who do not believe it to be a cure argues that Feng shui is ruled only by five elements, The earth, wood, metal, fire and water as the foundations for curing issues inside an establishment or a house. Feng shui was started long before mirrors were created, what was used to reflect images then were materials that were made of bronze and other metals. To argue then that mirrors are Feng shui cures will have no firm foundation in Feng shui. Another issue that is advocated is that a mirror, no matter how thick it is never does not contain nor can it hold energy. Its main use is only to bounce a light. As this is a property of a mirror that is not controversial, let us hold this then a source by which a mirror could be used as an important aid in the practice of Feng shui.

Even distribution of light inside the house and appropriate illumination, is a very important component of Feng shui. When there are zones in the house that could use more light but are not possible with conventional lighting use the Feng shui mirror to remedy and brighten up the darker corners and spots.

The following are examples where Feng shui mirrors would serve as excellent aids when lighting is insufficient.

See how much you can learn about Feng Shui when you take a little time to read a well-researched article? Don’t miss out on the rest of this great information.

The southern portion is the zone of fame. This is where you should highlight your plans and goals and place Feng shui symbols that match your dreams. You would not want this portion to be dull.
When the light is not enough, a Feng shui mirror could help.

The southeast portion is the area of careers. A rectangular light represents development and growth. If it will be awkward to place a rectangular mirror on the wall, why not try a rectangular Feng shui mirror.

The family room is also a good place to add a Feng shui mirror.

There are other areas in the room that could use additional light. The reason why it is not mentioned here is that a Feng shui mirror might cause a deflection of energy depending on the light that is already present or the objects placed in it. The main point though is, in its own way, a Feng shui mirror do serve a good purpose other than just being decorative.

This article’s coverage of the information is as complete as it can be today. But you should always leave open the possibility that future research could uncover new facts.

Picking the Right Feng Shui Consultant

October 30th, 2010
Comments Off

Unlike several years ago, Feng shui consultants are hard to come by and when they do, they could be very expensive. In the previous years, only the rich and the famous in China could afford the services of a Feng shui consultant.

Until about a decade ago the popularity of the practice of Feng shui became more widely accepted hence the need for more consultants who gave rise to competition. Today, it will not be very difficult to find a qualified Feng shui consultant.

Like everything though that is gaining good popularity, scammers will always be ready in the sidelines to take advantage and make money out of it even when there is nothing better to offer aside from the most rudimentary of its principles.

When choosing a Feng shui consultant bearing the following in mind should help:

Do not be impressed by the strings of stories and the chain of grand titles that the Feng shui consultant has or will offer. The practice of Feng shui has nothing to do with boasts. In fact, be wary of them. A true Feng shui consultant lives and breathes with what he or she teaches? always in harmony with nature and his surroundings.

If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole Feng Shui story from informed sources.

Do not be impressed outright with a consultant because he has ready answers for everything immediately. This also goes to someone who tries to impress you with the array of charts at his disposal. Remember that you may have no or very little understanding of Feng shui aside from the tips gathered here and there. For all you know the charts means very little to the person in front of you.

Because Feng shui is a skill earned over the years of fastidious study, what you should be looking in a Feng shui consultant is honesty and humility. As with everything else, the more a person knows about things, the more humble and better that person becomes knowing full well that there are myriad of mysteries that are still beyond grasps and many things that are to be improved and subtleties to be employed.

Before employing the Feng shui consultant that is already on the top of your list, ask around. A good Feng shui consultant should have strings of successes behind him and satisfied customers will always require little egging on if to make a recommendation.

It will also be very helpful if you should learn first the general precepts of Feng shui. Having a good working knowledge of Feng shui will be of invaluable help when you choose experts, since what you know will be a good gauge in determining the level of expertise of the Feng shui consultant that you wish on your payroll.

The tips and write-ups in the web is also a very good place to start as it offers the basic of Feng shui principles. But then again Feng shui, if it will be employed to affect the lives and future of those who wants to benefit from it, should take it to a deep level that only expert Feng shui consultants could provide.

For professional work, remember that subtleties and variables are largely dependent and as widely varied as the person sitting beside you to the next. Advanced Feng shui practice and consultation will require detailed analysis based on charts and investigations, and could take a while to be written up, because Feng shui is about people, about events and circumstances and how this could all be taken in to harmonize with nature.

Sometimes it’s tough to sort out all the details related to this subject, but I’m positive you’ll have no trouble making sense of the information presented above.

Feng Shui Life

October 28th, 2010
Comments Off

You should be able to find several indispensable facts about Feng Shui in the following paragraphs. If there’s at least one fact you didn’t know before, imagine the difference it might make.

Ask any good Feng shui master. He will tell you that everything has energy: objects, the air, the earth, all the elements, and even thoughts have energies. The person is one of the better sources of energy, too. A person’s energy is a determinant of bad Feng shui or good Feng shui. What we think, how we react to things, the attitudes that we place on events and those surrounding us, they could influence what is beneficial and what is not.

I have heard a famous Feng shui master once in a television show just before a New Year was to start. The master was asked, “What is the best Feng shui remedy? The master answered, “The heart of a person, everything else is secondary to it. If you have a good heart, you have very little to fear.”

In a nutshell what he was saying throughout most of the second half of the show was that “a good heart can counterbalance the entire negative chi that will be thrown on the person”. Feng shui however are excellent aids to a better life in that since nothing is perfect, attracting additional energies that would bring us into better harmony with our surroundings and the people on it must be drawn to our improvement. It follows then that even with the best Feng shui, people’s lives could still be miserable when it is not coupled with the intentions of harmonizing with anything and everything.

Since the essence of a Feng shui life is harmonious interrelationships and attitudes, it is not enough to have the best Feng shui house with spacious bright hall effect frontage when poison arrows from your corner inadvertently points at a house fronting yours. The occupants opposite yours could take vengeful cures.

If you find yourself confused by what you’ve read to this point, don’t despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish.

Even the best of decorations and symbols that were placed inside your home may not be so potent, as you would expect, as these could take the energy of workers who made them. These are particularly true with mass produced items that have workers that are overworked and underpaid.

This is why even when you would want to live a good Feng shui life care must be taken.

The popularity of Feng shui today has also drawn out scammers and frauds that are always there waiting on the sidelines to pounce at any unsuspecting client that they could lay their paws on. To think that a good Feng shui life and guidance should start from a Feng shui consultant may to say the least, be taken with caution. This is where Feng shui life could start and draw its greatest effect.

The Feng shui consultant that is about to lead you into the life of Feng shui should be above reproach and you could easily know this by the successes that have been accomplished before. Forget about grand titles and the smiles. A good Feng shui consultant leads a good Feng shui life and this should endow them with humility.

Because a Feng shui life basically starts with respect, it is the humility of accepting that there are forces in nature that one has to live in accordance with. It is a life that goes with the flow of things the way they are instead of dominating and controlling them. Living a Feng shui life is not a life of yes or no. Neither is it always black or white. Rather, Feng shui life is living, prepared to make compromises if that could enhance the ability to go with what is natural and with what is beautiful.

So now you know a little bit about Feng Shui. Even if you don’t know everything, you’ve done something worthwhile: you’ve expanded your knowledge.

The Feng Shui Bagua – Mapping Energy Flow

October 22nd, 2010
Comments Off

Have you ever wondered what exactly is up with Feng Shui? This informative report can give you an insight into everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Feng Shui.

You can see this symbol very often. They are in cemeteries, homes (particularly the entranceways) offices etc.

The bagua is octagonal in shape to represent the eight points of the compass. This is so because the eight compass points represent the different energy levels that one is supposed to attract. In Feng shui, the bagua corrects the orientation of an edifice or a village and is supposed to enhance the quality of life of people living in it.

The bagua is placed in such a way that it creates a mapping of the house where corners are determined whereby the occupants harmonizes with these zones for particular activities.

To appreciate the bagua better, imagine it as having eight points with nine quadrants.

? The topmost portion is divided into three zones namely (from left to right), the zone of wealth, reputation and partnership.

? The middle quadrants are family, taichi and creativity.

? The bottom quadrants represent zones for wisdom, career and helpful people.

The movements, intentions, activities and even the decorations in the house should as much as possible be in harmony with these zones so as to derive the benefits of the energy that it emits.

The following are the following zones with its corresponding numerical value and its energy association.

The topmost quadrants:

Wealth ? 4: The area associated with wealth does not only mean material possessions but all those that are of value to you.

Reputation ? 9: this is how those that you come to associate with perceive you.

Partnership ?2: this zone includes marriages, relationships, business dealings and friendships.

The information about Feng Shui presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about Feng Shui or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes.

Family ?3: more than just a representation for family, this zone also represents ancestors, relations, work mates and friends.

Taichi ?5: The center of the bagua. It is very important to keep this one very clear.

Creativity ?7: This is the area for artistry, children, fun and the opening up of new projects.

Wisdom ?8: The zone has to do with intellectual growth and learning.

Career ?1: The area of passage. This is also for careers, job and opportunities and journeys.

Helpful people ?6: This zone is for people and relatives that are not around often including people who are not close associates.

The bagua outline influences the inside of buildings. For this reason, the zones with values 8, 1 and 6 lies on the jamb that holds the door. The door also has its own numerical value as with the people living inside those doors. Mapping out the area according to the bagua will require additional knowledge of the numerical values of the person or persons behind the door to get the most benefit form the energy that are flowing through it. Because of this baguas are better placed when the person doing them has a rudimentary knowledge of Feng shui, better yet, when a consultant is employed.

The bagua is also used to determine which area within the room house or building is beneficial. It is also a tool to map out those that are not and identify the differences. Examples of these zones within an area are:

? The millionaires corner where you keep your earnings and investments, and often a good place to plan out the business.

? The bankruptcy corners where you avoid keeping money matters.

? The Matrimonial discord corner.

? Marriage corner

? Divorce corner

? Bargain corner

Don’t limit yourself by refusing to learn the details about Feng Shui. The more you know, the easier it will be to focus on what’s important.

Guidelines in Buying a Feng Shui House

October 15th, 2010
Comments Off

Even for the mind that is trained in western thought, the environment is one of the key factors that greatly affects the development of the individual, and everything could be explained. This is also very true with Feng shui although it goes a step more than just what is outright tangible and explainable.

Buying a house by any language is one among the major decisions that one has to do. Not only will it influence the future of those who will reside in it, it could also well be one of the most expensive. Mistakes then have to be minimized if not eliminated. Buying a Feng shui house employs practices that do just that and the tag will not always be the prime consideration. Take for example the following guidelines:

? One of the best considerations in buying a Feng shui house (which Feng shui experts always have an eye on) will be a house that has a frontage with a bright hall effect. The bright hall effect means that the house has a wide and open area fronting it or a frontage where there is a space of land before the house. A house that has this feature in its property is considered a very auspicious Feng shui house. Sometimes, this feature alone could already bring the luck that the occupants will want to enjoy.

? This Feng shui house is better improved when its back faces a mountain or a rising slope, or a tall building. Open spaces behind the house do not really contribute that much. What is to be avoided though is a house where its back elevation is lower than the house itself unless something is done about it to correct the downslide. Another very useful guide is to buy a house that is on the same level as the road. A house that is higher than the road will even be better. Avoid those that are below the road level.

The best time to learn about Feng Shui is before you’re in the thick of things. Wise readers will keep reading to earn some valuable Feng Shui experience while it’s still free.

? Speaking of road positions, never choose a house that is on a T-junction where the direction where the T crosses is directly in front of your house. Have nothing to do with it even when it is sold at a bargain.

? Other things that should be considered when you want a Feng shui house is to watch out for what it termed as poison arrows and water flow and its direction.

One example of a poison arrow is to observe your neighbors’ roofline. If the slope of the roof is directed towards you, have this corrected by a pakua symbol. The principle is that there should be no sharp edges and protrusions that should be directed towards a Feng shui house. There should also be no trees and other obstructions blocking the front of your house, including tall buildings. This will prevent the natural flow of chi and will exert pressure on those who live in it.

Observe the flow of the water in front of your house. A Feng shui house will be more auspicious if the water in front flows from left to right when the house faces a primary path and the opposite when the house faces a secondary path. This should include the flow in the drainage and the flow in the house storm drains. If this is not observed properly, the residents will find difficulties in their careers as they are against the flow.

Remember that Feng shui is a mainly about wind and water. Every consideration must be taken so that the Feng shui house harmonizes with it.
