Dear Eli, Yes, I do concur with you that often artificial flowers do really make a place look nice - without the hassle and costs of frequently changing real (dying flowers). In fact, many will agree that artificial flowers especially single colour or multi-coloured ones often uplift us or make us feel good - factor. I believe, many Feng Shui authors also did mentioned that artificial flowers or plants to them are just as good for the "feel-good" factor. Which is very important for many of us. The only bad name about real flowers is where in Singapore, there are those who approach flower shops to purchase a reef of dead flowers to sent to their ex-lovers or ex-husband…

Dear Susan, Please see below:- If you have a layout plan it would be much easier to give you proper advise. There is a conference for attachments for this. I understand, you have applied for help under our token, audit for `hardship' case. Robert will give you the necessary credit for this. For those, who have problems, is advisable to use more professional tools as it usually will help to analyse the situation in a more `scientific' way. A layout plan would help us locate the main door. If you have previously, consulted any practitioners and had been given advise on purchasing `stuffs' to hang, it is adviseable to remove them totally. From many past cases, it is …

Dear Anon, Yes, the centrepoint is defined as the centre location of the house where one takes a reading of the house from that point to the main door. It is similar to the readings taken below:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm This is the centrepoint used to find out the main entrance direction of either the Flying Star or Eight House theory. Please see below:- As mentioned above. In my opinion, if you can use a `day' curtain i.e. that allows light to flow in but blocks out the view of the poison arrow - this would be a better choice. From my personal (past experience), some of the clients who had placed a water position at the centrepoint of the hous…

Dear Anon, 1. So far, I do not see any issue relating to the type of floor pattern used e.g. in the kitchen. 2. In my opinion, just about any "normal" design laid tiles. For example from plain pattern to checked are perfectly ok. 3. The more concern is on Yin and Yang. For example, if the house is long and narrow e.g. North-South alignment; and if there are no windows on the East or West, this can be quite dark - particularly in the kitchen. 4. Thus, for such a situation, it is advisable not to use e.g. dark or black tiles. 5. Nowadays, when I review or do audits for my clients, I do get to see units that are of this configuration. 6. For example, this condominium was …

Dear Mercedes, 1. We can draw a parallel with Feng Shui. 2. For most of us, what comes immediately to our mind is enhancements, first and do not blink an eye to the techniques. 3. In Feng Shui, you can learn everything from a Master or even do the best Flying Star Chart, but in the end, it is not the best chart but rather, how one apply the appropriate technique which can yield success. 4. For example, you have asked which is the best month and date to take your nursing exam. This is similiar to looking asking a Feng Shui practitioner, what enhancements I can make to pass my Feng Shui examination. 5. Frankly, the month is not as important as the day. But again, what matte…

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, any smell that filters into your home is not auspicious or even hygenic. 2. Since, this is preventable and not a permanent situation; frankly, try your best (if you can) to see at your end, try to be as diplomatic as possible to speak to your neighbours. Otherwise, there is really not much one ca do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Leroy, Many of us have grown up with pets e.g. companion dogs etc... in our home. But in a school environment, we are not allowed to keep them. Frankly, since you are young, and if you really enjoy having a small bowl of fish, usually, there is really no issue in doing so. I believe, it can serve as a stress relief:) Go with what your heart feels:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, For a staircase, the major considerations are: 1. Number of steps 2. Avoid having the steps face the main door. (Here, a partition or screen should be used). 3. A set of staircase, should where possible have a landing or two landings if the upstairs is high. 4. Preferably avoid a circular staircase, especially if it can be seen from the main door. 5. Where possible, each step should be `covered' up and not `see thru' i.e. planks placed on each step. 6. For the position of the stairs, where possible it should preferably hug or share an external wall. 7. Anything else, will have to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. And therefore `it depends' on the full layout…

1. Usually, an indepth study would have to be done to trouble-shoot what is the problem. 2. Frankly, as you had mentioned i.e. all things being equal e.g. no change in colours except for the change for single to queen sized bed. 3. In my opinion, it could either be one or both:- 3.1 The flying star #3 could most likely "land" e.g. in your master bedroom or main door. This #3 has to do with relationships. Frankly, unable to advise, you exactly where it is. 3.2 BUT, you may consider "trial and error" Feng Shui by having a night light or a table lamp especially best that has a red shade. usually such a lighting is used to burn or destroy this bad #3. Seriously, even if …

Frankly, there is no hard-coded rule for this. In my opinion, there were many or lots of instances where the day is not auspicious for that partner e.g. hubby. The hubby could come in an hour later on the same day. Alternatively, there were instances where this same hubby comes in only after the full procedure has been carried out by his wife.

Here are some of the major considerations:- 1. Avoid hanging the photo (portrait) sharing the same wall as the toilet. 2. Avoid hanging the portait facing the toilet. 3. Try not to have the photo facing the main door. 4. Try to avoid having the portrait facing the dining table. 5. Avoid placing the portait in any "persons" bedroom. 6. If it is placed in a study or an EMPTY bedroom, place it close to or next to the window. But make sure that the sun does not shine directly onto the portait. 7. Avoid hanging the portait at the "end" of the hallway. 8. Avoid hanging it sharing the same wall as the stove or facing a stove or facing kitchen utensils such as knifes, forks (s…

Dear Curtis, Please see below:- I am glad that you found the advise useful. For a split level house; it should not apply as what we would like to have is to apply the concept of clear space in the living room and the steps leading up to the split-level i.e. dining is part of this feature. Thus, in your case, there is certainly no need to use a partition. The partition or divider should be used if there is some adverse sha qi such as a toilet facing the main entrance. Here, you have to understand the following: 1. If you are doing a Feng Shui audit to determine which is the main entrance door; then, it would be a main concern as to which door to use to analyse …

Dear Anon, Please see below:- 1)can a person 2. As for the head pointing towards the door, this is still as bad. Other than, the concept that one cannot see who enters the room. (Symbolic of a thief coming into the room holding a knife). This second point or para 2, dwells on a commonsense approach. Often, to fully utilise the bedroom, the bed can be placed against a wall and the head pointing towards the window. This is acceptable as often light filters into the room. And for those who love to lie on the bed to read, this light source is comforting to the eyes. The only `drawback' is based on commonsense approach i.e. if one lives in an apartment: and if th…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Actually, the best is one with a `metal' roof and with the clinger of an I-ching (circle with square) coin. However, from personal experience and because if it is to be used to neutralise #5 or multiples of it; many of the above mentioned wind chimes are too heavy to make any sound unless it happens to have heavy winds. This is because the copper rods with the coin clinger is too heavy. But, if one is currently using the above wind chime and other than for decoration; then this is fine. Thus, it is my opinion, that (FOR PRACTICAL) reasons i.e. if one wants to neutralise #5 or multiples of it or any other combinations with #3, #4 and even…

Dear Anon, Nowadays, many of us immediately associate Feng Shui merely with the interior decor of a home. But this is far from the truth. For example, I refer to Dr Evelyn Lip's book "Chinese Geomancy - A layman's guide" Page 7:- Quote from her book: "There are three types of sha or sand which the geomaner looks for. These are represented by the various "star" symbols. The Star of Fire represents sand that has a sharp and cutting edge while the Star of Wood is sand that is round and straight. Sand that is long and round is called the Star of gold, whilst sand that forms a wave-like pattern is called the Star of Earth. Once the quality is sand is determined and classi…

Dear Judy, Based on Feng Shui, one has to try and protect `entrances': 1. Entrances such as the main entrance door and windows. 2. In your situation, determine whether, the broken tree stump is now a `sha qi': 2.1 Stand at the main entrance or the window(s) especially if the tree stump is tangent or `cut's across or slice thru the main entrance or a window. 2.2 If, the above is true; then, it is best to try and take immediate action as soon as possible, such as `cutting' down the rest of the tree and remove the roots. 2.3 If the tree stump does not cut thru the window or main entrance, then, you can take your time to uproot or remove the tree especially if it no longer co…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, there is not much one can do if the `Eight House' chart is unsuitable for a person. Unless, one moves out of the room or find a new house -- assuming a worst case senario. 2. But more importantly, no matter how, the bedroom should always (top-priority) conform to good Shapes and Form Feng Shui. I have given many examples of this in previous messages. 3. For example, where possible, the bed should not rest on the same wall as the bedroom door. Where possible, it should be on the opposite wall as the bedroom door. 4. Usually, to further reduce or minimize on problems, it would be helpful for those who wnat to further improve their Feng Shui to a…

Dear Colleen, Generally there are three main reports:- A. Eight House Report B. 20 Year Flying Star Report C. Pillars of Destiny Report A. Eight House Report It is good at this point to use a transparency place each member's Eight Intangible force on the transparency. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Later this transparency is used to look at in particular, the intangible force affecting: 1. the main entrance door 2. the living room or areas where each person spents most time at. 3. the bedroom. Here it is used to try to see if one can place the bed at a good sector of the room. B. The 20 Year Flying Star 1. Firstly, Use this report to check for imbalances…

Dear Sudarshan, Based on a survey conducted, on this site, some of us seemed to be bothered by a mirror facing the bed. Whereas for some others, this is no issue. Firstly, you could check whether the mirror faces any part of the bed (not just the bedroom). If it does face the bed, do you feel restless or do not sleep well? If your answer is yes, then, it is best to try and cover the mirror. If so far, you are not affected by having the mirror face the bed.. ie. you can sleep peacefully, then, you should not be affected by it. There are several ways to `cover' the mirror: 1. A more costly approach is to change the door to a non-mirror door or 2. Buy those off the self opaq…

Dear Wasis, If one is purchasing an existing home, it is always good to learn more about the history of the house. For example, if there is only one previous owner, (no tenants) simply, the owners are staying in the apartment, it is best to find out the purpose for their move. If it is a `valid' reason, for example, they are moving because of relocation of work in another county or to upgrade their home. Particularly, if it is for upgrading, this is a good `sign'. If a house was built e.g. in the 1950s or earlier, it is good to check it's history of occupants. For any situations e.g. suicide, murder etc... I hope the above clarifies. If not, feel free to let me know. Warm…
