Hello, (please pardon my english, I am Dutch) Maybe someone can help me with problem. The best sleeping position for my daughter is NW and W. NW is not possible, but if I put the bed W her head is in the good direction, but her body is in the spook part of her room. If I place the bed in the Health part of the room, her head is in the N direction or S, directing the door. Who can help me understand this problem better? Greetings Maia

Hello, I have a quick question. My house has a electric/phone poll in front of the main door. From what I have read, this blocks off luck and opportunities. Is there anything I can do to counter this or at least make it less harmful? My 2nd question, not sure if it's because of the electric/phone poll blocking my front door but I havn't had ANY LUCK at all with finding a job. I graduated from college 6 months ago but have no luck finding a job. Every time I think I am about to find one (really rare occasions), it seems to slip away from me. I have looked at the outside of my house and everything seems fine except for the poll. I live on a hill but in the middle. From ins…

Dear Kok Seng, If you have a relatively large garden or a garden cum car-park, then, see if you have a sufficient wall e.g. a brick wall to shield your home from this "T" junction. The other alternative is if allowed, often, the exterior of your home has some plants or bush such as a garden balcony attached to your brick wall. Or, have plants to help shield your home from this Sha Qi. Hopefully, your main door cannot be directly seen from this "sha qi". If so, the tradition, is to place a ba gua mirror above the main door or the windows facing this `threat'. Apply proper Feng Shui to: 1. fix leaks - if any in a home 2. enhance using both Shapes and Forms and Flying s…

Dear Karen, Studies such as those done by NASA, has shown that having a plant indoors can be beneifical to a home. Recently, I had posted a link in this forum to a Honeywell Site - which also has some resources on having a plant indoors - and that some plants are more effective than others in `cleansing' the air in a home. In my opinion, I personally think that there are two reasons why some people do not like having a money plant indoors i.e. home or office:- Reason 1: Some of us just use a glass plant container, add rocks, to `secure' the roots of the money plant. And simply pour water to this container. As many of us know, this is an easy option, as we do not need to …

Dear Yak Heng, 1. The only correction method is often, to tilt the door. But in a HDB senario, it is impossible to do so due to restrictions by HDB. 2. One has to understand the various concept(s), their strengths and limitations. 3. In case of the Eight House theory, "wishing" away the wrong direction is near to impossible unless one physically make changes under para 1. 4. Often, anything else, under the Eight House is like taking a sugar coated pill. 5. Therefore, it is not so easy to use a "correction fluid" to ease the `problem'. It will always be there! 6. What is more important is that since, this is already a `leak' try to avoid more leaks in the home. 7. Or, tr…

Dear Yak Heng, If you are D.I.Y. Feng Shui, then, you may have to spent more effort in understanding the various Shapes and Forms as well as Compass School Feng Shui (which includes Flying Star Feng Shui). Frankly, you may have to `burn-midnight oil' digesting as much as you can on these concepts. Else, the last resort would be to get a FS practitioner. Since, your short question cannot be replied to in total as there are lots of concepts involved even within each Feng Shui principle/concept. Warmest Regards, Cecil regards yhgoh

Dear Anon, Yes, placing too many wind chimes can indeed be an "over-kill" especially if one uses the light weight alluminium type of wind chime. For those using the much heavier copper (hollow rod) with an I-ching coin clinger, this type, in my opinion, makes almost few or no sound at all. (Even in heavy winds). Perhaps, some of these, (for decoration) is not an "over-kill" since they are (nearly totally ineffective in making large sounds). Why not consider planting plants or shrubs on the fence or use "day" curtains. Both are equally acceptable. "If it is not seen, it no longer becomes a threat:)" Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Deborah, 1. Apologies, the `dog' thing was meant to be a *JOKE* Glad that you have well trained (civic minded)dogs:)) 2. Frankly, there is no hard and fast rule on what makes a perfect garden. 3. Most of the time, in-fact, it is what you and your family feel comfortable with. 4. From your description, you garden sounds lovely. This is already a plus point. 5. The other `secret' ingredient to a successful (area) is the sight of birds. Birds, like us, do appreciate good location. Hopefully, they are not king fishers or fish eating ones (especially if one rears koi fishes:) 6. Don't worry, so long as one has a passion of gardening or simply admiring or making effort to …

Dear Master Cecil: There is a sharp edge remotely pointing at the windows in the "back" of my house. This sharp edge does not fall inside the direct range of my house; nonetheless, I am able to see this sharp edge through windows. Does this sharp edge pose a threat to my house? Is a day curtain helpful in this situation? Regards, Jen

Dear Susan, Since you do not have furniture inside, then perhaps, see if the external landscape looks appealing or `clean'. As you had mentioned, the `first' impression of the front of the home is important. Often, Feng Shui is not meant to sell a property. But most people like: convenience (to work/schools/markets etc). And, likewise, $$$ plays an important part of the attractiveness of a home for a buyer. And if a home has good Feng Shui, such as open space and friendly, FS interior, hopefully, some clients may appreciate this. Wishing You all the best in selling your home! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Often, the colour scheme can be used in many situations. Neutral colour such as white or pastel shades of light colours are acceptable. The use of 6 coins is symbolic. Here, 6 represents big metal. And this is why it is often used. Other metal elements often used as a cure in Feng Shui are things like pendulum clock or wind chimes. In my opinion, this type of cure can be subjective. As not all practitioners may agree with it. In my opinion, it does help. So long as it is seen, it is ok. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Susan, If you have a sketch, it would be easier to visualise the situation. Overall, since all bedrooms often have a window(s) and a bedroom door, there is a limitation to where it can be placed. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Sorry to break it to you all, but these days you must seperate the truth from the lies. For the true believers of such fake feng shui practices such as ''Black Hat Sect'' and ''Eigth Mansions'', take a moment to read this forum post and understand why it is, indeed, fake as i have mentioned. FACT #1:These so-called feng shui practices were created some odd 20 or 30 years ago by some chaps who think they could take feng shui (a very,very ancient practice) and alter it to there likings based on there views. Which brings me to the next fact..... FACT #2:As i mentioned before, REAL feng shui (that being compass and form school feng shui) is a very ancient practice CREATED SOM…

Dear Anon, 1. One thing for sure: Economically, it has future resale potential being in a popular/higher priced area. 2. In terms of Feng Shui, these are `point-block' type of condo. 3. And, point block condos are, in my opinion, has better qi flow and `points' of entry of qi in and out of the unit(s). 4. The major consideration is that although this is a `point block', it does not have the rectangular point block feature. A rectangular point block often has at least `three-points' of qi flow e.g. balcony, various bedrooms and kitchen or back area. And a forth, qi flow coming from the main door. 5. But the condo does allow for exceptional length of `frontage'. 6. As for …

Dear Monica, Frankly, in Feng Shui, there is no specific need for `special' paintings all around the walls in a bedroom. If you have posted this message to a "Feng Shui emporium", I believe, you will be happy `slapped' with various items to buy on their site. In Feng Shui, one key success factor is "clear space". And cleanliness. I am not saying that hanging paintings is not `clean'. But for those living in Asia, and at low floors, such as 1st to the 4th storey, there are such insects / reptiles as : lizards. Often, if one has three paintings, at night, one may just get a glimse of a few `fat' lizards, coming out of the hiding of various paintings to catch their bait. No…

Dear Anon, Yes, this is considered as a `threat' to the `mouth' (main entrance) of the home. Given this situation: Taiwanese Feng Shui often suggests the use of plant(s). But if this is not possible, see if one can apply the concept: " if it cannot be seen, it can no longer be a threat". The next is the "terroist link" option: Get Bin Laden to help demolish the threat. *JOKE* As a last resort, one may have to consider the placement of a ba gua mirror above the main entrance doo. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Gerard, In my opinion, often these sun-shades do not pose a `threat' to a neighbour. In fact, I believe, HDB had already for many years back installed sun shade - in particular; for bedroom windows facing west or south west direction. Many of these windows have `clear space' i.e. often no obstruction as far as 500 metres or more (from another block of flats). What is worse is this `test': Sometimes, the next block is a full wall. And when we stand inside of the home, looking outwards, we tend to get `glare' or light reflected from such neighbouring block's walls. And this glare is `sha qi'. Many of the sun-screens as you had mentioned covers mostly a level higher tha…

hi Cecil! I am very confused over elements, e.g Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth Do you have a simple formula that states which element opposed to which? E.g. Water and Fire opposed. And what element enhanced it? E.g Water requires Metal? Thanks for your advice! Cheers! Esther

hi master, i have gone through your website and have learn more about FS. here are 3 questions that i will like to ask. 1) having gone through your free FS analysis, i have found out that I belong to the strong metal with favourable colours and element being blue, grey and black, and water respectively. Now the question is what does it mean by favourable element and colour? I have been to other FS website as well and the analysis showed that my luck element is fire and i am encouraged to wear red. my luck element is not equal to favourable element?? 2) in one of the discussion this month, you mentioned that a bed facing a door is not auspicious. what about a bed that is …

Dearest Robert & Cecil Lee, I have been interested in Feng Shui for many yeas, with picking up books and objects to correspond with my Kua# 4 Sun being a water Tiger sm wood and East group, having made me feel very lucky and in harmony through lots of crisis that has been around me. Unfortunately I never really thought of my husband (as he really isnt into it) Kua#8 Ken Snake sm Earth West group, and now realize we are at polar of each other. My lucky areas is his bad luck areas and vice versa. Our front door is facing NW, I have three coins tied with red ribbon on the inside, 5 metal bells on the outside of it and a Pa Kua above it. A mountain in the North faces my f…
