Further to what I had mentioned, because the wall behind the stove is not flat, and under certain conditions: 1. windy day 2. a window or window(s) close-by to the stove 3. open windows It may result in air-circulating behind the stove, blowing air against the flames towards the person standing at the stove. - Quite dangerous. Please see illustration.....

In my opinion, your statement is too general. But, the true test is to stand inside a unit main entrace door and look out for pillarsor support beams such as those for covered shelters. Thus most likely would often affect a unit or a few units that's all. Unless the overhead bridge structure has spikely trellis etc.

Hi, Frankly so far, I don't think there is anything written in the past (nor the present) on the use of water beds and metal beds. As I mentioned in a few forum messages that the original use of Feng Shui caters more towards Feng Shui Masters locating a site for a city e.g. Canton or many other Chinese Cities. Following this, their concern is with a site within a city and perhaps an overall location of a village. The closes to the bed is the use of the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui and the use of Compass School techniques such as the Eight House and the Flying Star. What does all this mean? Feng Shui is all about trying to enhance beneifical qi or to neutralise Sha …

Dear Anon, This is a very good question. Generally, in my opinion, this is very common in the West. Especially, if there is a "lovely" bay-window just behind the bed-head. But locally in Singapore, this is often not a good idea for the following reasons. And these reasons are often "common-sense". In Singapore, majority of the homes are apartments (flats) or high-rise and it is often not too good an idea to have the bed-head against the window:- 1. Unfriendly neighbours! There are occassions where inconsiderate neighbours throw out cigarette butts and sometimes it may fall down into an open window. And if are beds are close to or next to the window, there can be a p…

In my opinion, I have mentioned previously that in some instances; especially, if the toilet bowl is facing the toilet door; and for many toilet seat lids; along the perimeter; there is a gap; Thus, just imagine, if one were to flush the toilet bowl, with lid closed; and if the flushing pressure is strong; micro droplets may shoot out. and directly facing the toilet door; then it may contaminate that area with germs. No use with wind chime or other things; often closing the door (nice-to) is considered a better choice.

Dear Carpazia, Further to what I had mentioned earlier; we can look at the Eight House Theory from a different perspective by asking some questions: 1. How suitable is the house to the breadwinner? If the main entrance is the breadwinner's " death or disaster intangible force "; then this house is considered the most unsuitable to the breadwinner. 2. If the house is most unsuitable to the breadwinner - what does it imply/mean? It means that overall, the breadwinner would not enjoy a quantum leap in Feng Shui. Do note however, that if the Shapes and Form of the house is excellent (or exceptionally excellent) this can instead provide a quantum leap in Feng Shui. 3. If there…

Dear Janna, The key success factor here is to make sure that one is very well versed in the Five elements concept. And also use another tool of Flying Star Feng Shui: the Eighty-One combinations interpretations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Please see below:- This is the same problem faced by many in Housing and Development Flats where part of the Kitchen is behind the altar. Due to lack of space, you can place it with the kitchen wall (behind) it. However, it should not be directly behind the kitchen STOVE. Frankly, what you mentioned is not Feng Shui but `superstitious' belief. Therefore, I try not to comment on such matters. Perhaps you can use your `sixth' sense i.e if you are happy with it... this is usually ok. Warmest Regards Cecil

Thanks for the sketch. 1. In my opinion, the house you mentioned does not seem to belong to that group called house at a "T-junction". Thus this is a plus point. 2. Like any other homes; due diligence is required. 3. From a Feng Shui point of view; there are lots more consideration: 3.1. As you had mentioned; any water flow that can be seen from the home leading out towards the exterior especially if they are not covered; 3.2. How the rainfall drains out of the home. 3.3. External threats if any from sharp pointed roofs of neighbouring homes and other threats such as lamp posts etc.. etc.. 3.4. The gradiency and many other factors include the interior layout of the home.…

Hi, This is different from having a roof over a landed property. Here, if you are using e.g. blue tiles, the impact is on your house. But if you are living in a Hi-rise building, with a miniature fountain, this will not impact on your apartment. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Sounds like the location you referred to is `Siglap'. Usually, with modernisation, most of these locations are acceptable. 1. Usually, for a home located on a gravesite, so long as all the graves are dugged up, this is acceptable. Many homes in Singapore have been built on `reclaimed land' for burial. 2. The Yin Qi will usually `wear' off as it is inhibited by people Yang energy. What is more important at this point is to make sure that the house conforms to the Shapes and form School. For example, try to make sure that the house do not have missing corners. It is situated such that the water position if any is not at the back of the home. Warmest Regards, Ceci…

Dear Anon, For the benefit of new users, NE is called the Devil's Gate while SW is the Devil's Backdoor. On the other hand, NE is also considered the Heaven's gate also. I sincerely believe that the author only generalises the NE and SW. In fact, as I mentioned above, it is also the gate of Heaven. From many personal experiences; especially the NE can be `controlled' i.e. avoiding a large lone tree, large pools of water and any other thing that helps to reduce the Yin forces. Emphasis on Yang elements at this sector. One very neutral thing to do is to keep the location bright. Where possible avoid Metallic wind chimes as this may inadvertenly enhance or attract Yin for…

Dear Liang, Under the Shapes and Form Feng Shui, it is preferred not to have an air well in the middle of the house. However, from the illustration, you had provided, it looks like the air well is at one side of house. It is advisable not to place a water feature especially close to the centrepoint of the house as this is `bad Feng Shui'. This is because water (under I-ching implies difficulty) and a water position there would not be ideal. It would equally not be good to plant a lone tree there as this is equally bad Feng Shui. In your case, try to leave a clear space i.e. you can if you want to have small pots of plants within the air well. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Please ponder over this " Rome is not built within a day". 2. And if applying Holistic Feng Shui is as easy as placing an amulet or just replied to another question of using a Ba gua mirror to attract qi - this is ridiculous! 3. Might as well wait for money to fall from the sky. 4. These are some of the Key Success Factors in D.I.Y. Feng Shui 4.1 Some of these concepts need understanding and some are strategies to better DIY Feng Shui:- * Fast Food Feng Shui * Feng Shui Triage * Fix-the-Leak, First! * Situational Approach * The Concept of Maximizing Marks * The Concept of Feng Shui by Exception * The Customer Engineer Concept * The Three-Step-Approach * T…

Dear Anon, 1. It is good to understand the concept behind the kitchen. In traditional Feng Shui, the kitchen plays an important part because this is a location where we are suppose to prepare our food. The main principle behind it is that we must try to keep our food warm. Thus the kitchen is suppose to keep us "warm". 2. With this understanding, we can also go further to say that the kitchen usually has both water element and fire element. 3. As water element and fire element are opposities e.g. Yin and Yang, it is best not to place the two together close-by. 4. In your situation, what is more important is the location of your kitchen. Ideally, as what you have mention…

Dear Guest, Please see below:- This depends more of what is facing the house. (Are there any threats such as a neighbour's sharp pointed roof) etc.. In my opinion, therefore, this may or may not pose a problem. It does not pose a problem if there are no threats to the main door. Often, many homes have drainage at the front of the home. But hmm.. 6 metre wide is pretty large drainage. Under `commonsense' approach to Feng Shui, if there is such a huge drain, it looks more like a canal. In the past, this is inauspicious - especially if the connecting `bridge' to our home is made of planks -- which if not well maintained can pose a safety hazard (it may collapse). I…

Dear Tialen K, tialen k wrote: hello, I planted three tall thin trees together in a grouping, however I was told this was bad luck as typically incense is burned in groups of three for morning. thus the three trees symbolize the sticks of incense and therefore death. tialen k wrote: Is this correct?? I have seen groupings of three like this before as landscapers typically recommend this type of groupings. Yes, when we pray using joss stick, we normally use 3 joss stick. So, if you plants 3 thin plants, it is likely to resemble this 3 joss stick. So it is not so auspicious in general. How bad, really depends on how much far the 3 plants placed and how it looks from …

It is acceptable even though the door leads to a hallway to the bathroom door right across the hall? And with windows opposite of the door in the bedroom? Would the bed feel like the centre of attention placed in the diagram? Thanks.

Dear Dr Muthu, I hope you understand that it is very difficult for me to comment on this as one really needs to be physically present in order to make a sound comment. There are many issues with regards to water positions such as how the inlet drain flows through to the outlet. E.g. does it flow in a straight line, at an angle or even whether it meanders inwards or outwards. How fast is the movement of water. What is the degree of inclination, `slicing' movement inwards or outwards etc. Especially if there are two water courses running one on the East and West. I do not want to comment on Lillian Too's assessment without consideration on some of the factors as mentioned a…
