Dear Cheui May, Grateful, if you can draw a simple sketch as it will be clearer to see/understand. If you can how far is the `threat' and is there a road between your house and your neighbours. If so, roughly how wide is the road? Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. Please post it to the conference for attachments. Thanks in advance.

Dear Anon, There is some truth in what was mentioned: 1. Under the Imperial Carpentry, most chairs should preferabley have armrests. 2. The profile of the lamp shade is important consideration in Feng Shui: /\ / \ || A lamp shade should preferably be `pointed' upwards. This stands for progress. Circle lamps are also considered good Qi generators i.e. light is considered generally good in Feng Shui. If one wants to use five light bulbs, it can be circular in shape and can either be made of crystal, glass or plastic. The material is not as important. Avoid lamp shades or lighting hanging in an upside down position: || \ / \/ This firstly looks like a poison arrow. Secondl…

About the drainage. First thing to look at is from the common sense point of view:- 1. It is good to cover the round hole with a simple plastic drainage cover like those found in most home toilet or bath area. 2. It is good to cover the drain. As some have pets and don't want a cat or other animals falling into the drain. Or likewise, allow rats to come from that area. Frankly, in a Can or cannot buy decision making stuff. Feng Shui has few things to look at. And several tools need to be used. To determine a drainage good or not, you got to check the flow of the drainage and where it exits.

Dear Master Cecil I've attached more photos for your reference (Shapes & Forms - more photos.jpg) If we view from inside the frontal locationarea towards its facing direction, it has a beautiful scenic view of the mountains in front (pls refer to View from inside Front Porch.jpg). I suppose these are very negative aspects in terms of Shapes & Forms found in these photos?? (1) Even though the house is on higher ground, it'ssitting by the side along a sloping road (a 2-way road), one going up slope, the other down slope. (2) There's an open drainage that runs outside the frontalwall as shown in the photo. (3) There's also a small drainage in the front compound that…

Hi Master Cecil Pls kindly advise from the 2 picture, which is a better choice? Another question rise after reading your link, does the material made and size play a important part? Does the direction of the ball also play a important role? If yes, what is the direction it must roll? Inwards or outwards? Thank you

Dear Anon, 1. You can learn more about Shapes and Form Feng Shui at this URL:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/resources.htm (The Free Fun with Feng Shui website or get the Applied Feng Shui book). 2. Or if you are at any local bookstore, you can try to find out books on `Basic Feng Shui'. Majority of books written on Feng Shui today - are those of Shapes and Form Feng Shui. Therefore, you should not have any problems buying any of them. Take the opportunity to browse thru before u buy them. Specifically, avoid "like the plague" any books where the author `express thanks to Lin Yun' or mentioned Black Hat Sect. I feel that books of this nature are not of proper Feng S…

Dear Gordon, If space is a constraint, there is really not much that can be done. Some Feng Shui practitioners may recommend placing a windchime to `neutralise' the pointed edge. However, one should also take note that windchimes may not be favourable. You can do a search in this forum for more information of the `effects' of wind chimes (if wrongly) placed. Regards, Cecil

Dear Per, In my opinion, for a small that is shared for livingrm cum office cum bedroom, more importantly the placement of the various furnitures. And avoid `clutter' where possible. Under Feng Shui, the most appropriate concept used here is the Yin and Yang concept. Where, there should be a `balance'. In moments of rest (sleep), a more conducive yin environment is good. But while working, too conducive of such a yin environment is not favourable. I believe, that your room should have a window. And, depending on the direction also i.e. if the window area faces directly west, then, it may be quite hot (depending on your country - season). Overall, try your best to balance…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Feng Shui at work is limited or constrained as you had mentioned: often, one cannot choose one's seating or simply change the directions to suit a person. 2. Thus, if your cubicle happens to have the emergency exit behind you, then really, there ain't any miracle cure to such things. 3. To determine best work directions: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/perlist-workposition.htm 4. Often even for those who are privileged with a room for themselves; if the corner or sector is not planned properly, even if a certain facing direction is suitable for them; but as a result their back is facing the door to their room is equa…

Dear Becky, 1. Yes, you brought up a good point. Often, you will see Feng Shui practitioners analysing a birth chart of a house. Without due consideration of e.g. two parties (husband and wife) sharing a room. 2. Please check out this url:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/cmplist-comparison-pillars-rep.htm 3. This sample report gives a comparison of e.g. husband (strong metal) and wife (weak wood). The binding elements to get the two parties to be compatible or reduce conflict is Water element. 4. Thus, this is known as the `binding' element. And it is recommended that for the bedroom of the two persons; we can use the binding element of water. And if they ow…

Dear Chuei May, Ideally, in the first place, one should avoid having sharp edges facing a bed. "One concept is that if one cannot see it it no longer becomes a threat applies." I really cannot provide a cure for this as it is very difficult to `hide' a corner. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kelly, Yes, so long as: 1. If the sharp corner(s) cannot be seen, it no longer becomes a threat. 2. Breaking the profile of the sharp corner would allevite the poison arrow(s). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kumari, I believe that, you most likely are staying in a hostel. Frankly, it is difficult to `correct' these especially if it is in a `small' room where one has difficulties moving furniture. As a consolation, many have also gone thru the same `situation' as yours and are doing very well. This is not a permanent situation and most of the time you most likely are studying. Furthermore, being young and I believe, with more Yang energy in you. Good Luck in your studies:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sandra, Since you cannot do much in terms of furniture layout, you can consider placing a display small dragon (can be made of glass or other materials) to aim it directly at the edge (or tangent) to the edge of the cabinet. This is a mild form of cure. Other alternatives include placing a fork aimed at the edge or a small toy cannon. I believe you should be able to place e.g. the dragon on the edge of the table such that it can be aimed at the edge and not aimed at your body. I hope this is achievable. If you are unable to have a straight path between e.g. the dragon and the edge of the cabinet, then, it is best not to place one on the table. (If it can `hit' you.)…

Dear Detroit, Generally, anything sharp pointing towards you is considered a poison arrow. But how bad will depends on how big or how visible the object is as well as how far away is it. If it is a small object that is quite a distance away then it is considered minor. But if is pretty obvious and it points say towards the main door or living room windows etc. Then you may need to try to put say a someplants or if you have afenceor even some roll down blinds if you have some balcony type area etc which can help to block the sha qi. Generally, as long as you cannot see the threat from your main door or living room then it is no longer a big issue. So anything which can…

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 Wendy, 1. Have you done the flooring yet? If not, you can add a little protrusion where the floor tile radiates in a semi-circle. I have added this info in the forum recently. 2. The resource is available under the conference: Info: Feng Shui Tips & guidelines. The posting is: 'Protective' Main Entrance Floor tile. Or do a SEARCH in this forum for Main Entrance Floor tile. 3. In addition, if the sharp pointed pillar is in your home, is it possible to e.g. grow a creeping plant on it. 4. The next best alternative is check what this pointed pillar is made of? 5. If it is made of wood, then, you can place a 6 rod metal wind chime directly facing it. 6. If it is m…

Dear Anon, There are two practical remedies: 1. Check to see if your glass is reflective. If the facade or wide expanse of glass windows have a coating of sun-x (shiny),if so, or if it has a "mirror" finish, then, it issaid that the poison arrow is reflected back to the origin. 2.I am not too sure ifcertain condos permit sun-x film or a specific type since they always wanted to have a uniform facade or look for the entire condo. If not, sometimes a lighter coloured film can be used in the home, depending on your home. For example, if the home is bathed by the afternoon sun, then, such a film may be considered. But if your home is a north-south facing one, then, adding …

Dear Feng Shui Master, Recently I have purchased an L-shaped apartment before I became interested in Feng Shui. I have read that L-shaped apts have bad feng shui due to missing sectors. I wld like to detail the floor plan as follows: The 3 bedrooms, dining and living room forms the vertical part of the L. The kitchen, yard and store forms the horizontal part of the L. Based on the apatment building facing of S, which gives it a Kan Gua(sitting N), the main door of the apt faces E and is in the Tian Yi sector. Part of the kitchen, which is to the right of the door entrance but seperated by a wall, also resides in the Tian Yi sector. The rest of the kitchen, yard and store…
