Tips on Feng Shui

The ancient Chinese believe that the presence of Sheng Qi is crucial to our well being. Sheng Qi means living qi and it is a kind of energy that we cannot see. However we know it is present whenever we a thriving community of flora and fauna. The translation of Feng Shui means "wind and water". The way you arrange the furnishing in your home is believed to create harmony and well-being in your life. It is a way to get in touch with nature to increase your health and prosperity.

When furniture, doors, windows, and other things inside the home, an office, or any other building are placed correctly, harmony can be achieved. As a consequence, the life of the persons living in or occupying the place can be improved. Always look for one that is located on gentle slopes with a hill or higher ground at the back. The land in front of the house should ideally be lower. It would be great if it faces a clean river or lake. Otherwise an open area such as a playground or field (or even a wide road) will suffice.

Here are some Feng Shui tips:

Choose the color of your home carefully because different colors affect your attitude, health and financial situation. For instance, yellow signifies longevity, red is the symbol of luck, green is growth and peace and white is the symbol of death. Of course, the different variations of each color will have their own unique energy.

Don't use double deck beds as this would prevent the "chi" from properly circulating underneath the upper bed. The person occupying the lower bed may have poor health.

Have relaxing colors in your room. Relaxing colors helps to sooth the mind and help you to relaxing and fall a sleep quickly allowing you to have harmony and balance when you choose the right color for you.

If a structural pillar/column protrudes in your office, try to place something in front of the corner edge of the column to soften it, such as a plant. Making file cabinets flush with the corner edge can also help remove the "poison arrow" affect.

Maintain a bright, cheerful entrance. If it is dark, then you may need to keep a light on or do some remodeling to add a window or skylight.

The land in front can be the same level as the house but it should not be much higher. You can always stimulate water by installing a water fountain or pond at the front. There is another Chinese saying, "Plants gather qi". Therefore having plants in front will also help to accumulate 'qi'.
