Dear Alice, A windchime can be used without an attached crystal. A windchime can be used especially if it is used against a bad earth element i.e. #5 or bad earth / bad yellow. A windchime (especially if it metallic) can help to reduce the impact of the #5. If the porch falls under the influence of #5, then it can be used there. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Emily, In my opinion, it is acceptable to leave it there and not to remove the singular windchime. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, Yes, even in the internet, it is very common to find a windchime with silver (hollow) rods of different lengths. Here, the top roof or the top support roof can be made of wood. And the `clinger' can be made of wood. It is best not to have red on the windchime. As you are correct to say that red (fire) will control metal and at the same time increase the bad earth element. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Usually, the significance of a windchime is not related to the Kua (Gua Number). Under Traditional Feng Shui, it is particularly commonly used at locations with #5 (misfortune) sector of the home. Especially if it is made of metal. The generation of metallic sounds is useful to neutralise #5. In your case, if you do rely on the above, can, at your own preference, try to find a place, in your home to place it. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

Dear Anon, 1. Often, before, we buy an object (of decoration) for the house, we would most probally searh our `minds' or (visualise) roughly where we want to place it. 2. We should ask ourselves, what is our `motive' of buying e.g. a metal windchime (4 rods) - hollow or solid. If it is for decoration in the home, as mentioned under Para 1, we normally should have some idea where we want to place it. But if it is for the purpose of trying to boost the luck.. frankly, I do not know when to begin .. especially, if it is like a `pot-luck' session and question asked is North South-East. 3. I would have to say that a 4 rod metal windchime is not a normal Traditional Feng Shui c…

Dear Sarah, 1. In Traditional Feng Shui, wind chimes need not necessarily meant to be hang in the north/north west part of the house. It depends. It depends on the individual FS audit done for the home. Usually, this is referenced to the Flying Star chart. 2. If we do not consider Para 1, or use intuition, or simply liked a wind chime and placed it at a location that we personally find suitable, it should be `non-intrusive' or should `fit' the location. A `commonsense' approach is that since the wind chime constantly touches your door, it should normally not touch the door. As this is also considered a `decorative' piece, it should blend with or harmonise with the locati…

Dear Shauuna, The alternative to "such a complicated" situation is to look to the basics of Chinese principles or concepts:. Most of the time, when we start reading books on Chinese principles and concepts, we will always find:- Uppermost level: Taichi Upper (branch) level : Yin and Yang concept Lower (branch) level: The Five elements concept. What you are trying to "meddle" or "fine tuning" is under the Five elements concept. In a "very complicated" case or sometimes we humans make it so..so ...so complicated... that doing something will impact on the other. Such as... "but I'm afraid that will boost the 9 giving fuel to the 5." There are two possibilities:- 1. Wh…

Dear Anthony, 1. Earth predominantly gives off sickness Qi. This is why #2 and #5 are predominantly bad earth elements. 2. If we look at a Chinese luo pan, we will notice that the outer shell is a rectangle. 3. While the inner is a rotating circle metal piece. As many of u know, circle represents Metal element. 4. A luo pan consists of: Outer square piece represented by the earth Inner metallic dial represented by Heaven. 5. In many of the cures, we therefore, see that Heaven Qi or Heaven Metal Qi is used to neutralise bad earth elements. 6. Therefore, metal, is the chief ingredient. Please see below:- To be effective:- 1. It must not those `play, play' type with so…

Dear Melanie, In my opinion, there is really not much one can do in such a situation. Usually, (but may not be feasible) in your case is the use of false ceiling or a poster bed with cloth covers over the top of the bed. Since this option may not be available, hanging a crystal, may make one `feel good' but thats all it can do. In traditional FS, besides this situation, one uses e.g. the Flying Star to analyse and if there are any imbalances, neutralise it to lessen any effects in the sector.

Dear Anon, In traditional Feng Shui, here are the following considerations for the main entrance door:- 1. It is not advisable to have an opened window above the main entrance door. 2. A proper main entrance door should be `solid' and Qi should not be made to come in above the window above the main entrance door. 3. In such a situation, the remedy is quite simple i.e. not to open the window above the main entrance. 4. Some FS Masters would even argue that under the "commonsence approach", a window e.g. without grilles could easily invite a thief to drop by. Although this is not Feng Shui but this is one reason given by some FS Masters. Other considerations: The main door …

We would like to place our bed with headboard facing the South East window wall. We have an idea (please see image) to: (A) use some chest of drawers to 'back' our headboard without having to sleep directly under windows or (B) have bed under window, headboard either lower than / covering part of windows. Both ideas, we will cover the window with wooden Venetian blinds with slats upwards. The windows are 3-panel, sliding, only the left-most panel is usually opened. Can the chests of drawers actually act as 'wall' or 'support'? Please advise A or B, or any other alternatives?

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…

One day, a man was `furiously' thinking of the `cleanest' way to get rid of his wife. (He was having an affair and his mistress had gave him a `dateline' to get rid of his wife.) The man thought of nearly everything but felt that he would most likely be the suspect! He truly wanted to plan and execute a `perfect crime'. He nearly gave up when, one night, he watched the news of how foreign maids often cleaned windows or put out clothings and accidently fall to their death! Oh! He hit on the idea! YES! My current wife fits this profile! She was a housemaker and her moto is " TOO CLEAN ". The man decided to call a friend to pretend to be a "Feng Shui Master". Since his wif…

Dear Evelyn, It is best to look at the overall `Shapes and Form' of the room and the placement of your table and chair. Here, it is best to position the table and chair so that one can immediately see who is coming into the room (room door). Since, you have a half-height wall (for support), this is less of a `problem'. In my opinion, the placement that you have currently is quite acceptable. If you can, you could try to have the blinds or curtains. But this is not a real issue unless, there are poison arrow(s) aimed into the house thru this window. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kaushal, 1. Under Feng Shui, this is considered inauspicious as `beneifical' Qi is suppose to come into the house and meander slowly circulating inside the house and `exit' the home through other openings. 2. Where possible, it should not enter the house e.g. the main entrance and exit out through an opposite window. Here, Qi is not allowed to circulate in the home. 3. The best option is to place a screen close to the main door area to allow the Qi to meander into the house. The screen need not necessarily be of full height. It can be of a lower height where possible it can cover e.g. three-quarters of the door. 4. Another alternative is to close the window which is …

Dear Anon, 1:3 is equal to 33.33%. This is a reasonable Feng Shui figure. (please see below) The above is a good guideline. It is used widely in the forum and it should be a good guage when applied to doors and windows. Other "applications" include the advice given if the missing area is 33.3 percent or more, this is considered a missing corner. More examples can be found in messages under this forum. I usually term it the 33.3 percent Ruleset. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Help. When you enter the doorway of my bedroom the wall directly across from the doorway has two windows on each side, the wall facing right has two doorways; one goes into the bathroom and the other goes into a closet. The space in between the windows and doorways are ample enough to fit a queen/king-size bed. But, would this be a auspicous placement for the bed. The wall directly to the left of the door entry is a full wall, so is the wall with the entry door. Where can I place the bed?

Dear Anon, As requested please find three favourable situations of bedrooms with windows on various sides of the room (no attached bathrooms) Please wait, file loading...File size = 16.7K All three layout plans: A, B and C are favourable. In the event that the bed faces a toilet door, one can place a side table with a table lamp to act as a `screen' or barrier between the toilet door and the bed.

Dear Evelyn, I strongly belief, there is truth in what you have mentioned. The most important part of a business is the front and this falls under the Shapes and Form School.
