Dear Carol, Please see my reply below:- Thanks for bring up this interesting subject. Let me elaborate about Yin. Yin refers to softer materials e.g. "sof"t wood, light colours. "Soft" wood are e.g. pine even teak but not laminated wood decor. For colours, the use of light colours. Flooring made of wood pieces will enhance the yin in a room. This is why you notice that most bedrooms use parquet (wooden flooring) to enhance yin ... state of rest. Yang refers to `hard' materials e.g. glass table, metallic objects/table and even plastic and laminates on wood. Colours are vibrant e.g. bright colors. Flooring made of cold slabs of e.g. marble, homogenous tiles and other c…

Dear Eric, South-West sector is suppose to be a location that "encourages" harmony of interpersonal relationships and if at work i.e. teamwork. I am not sure if it can improve or attract love into your life by placing something there e.g. plants (but you can try) -- "no harm". Just wondering

The rationale for not placing a bed below a window is actually more for privacy than in Feng Shui. So long as the window is " matted " or uses opaque glass or a thin film that prevents someone from peering into the room. Another point is that if the whole area has a low ceiling but uniform, then this is not considered as a `column' or `beam' above one's head. Hope that helps.

Dear Carol, It is understandable to find computers in the bedroom. Personally, I also have 7 PCs connected in a network in my room. (No kidding!) Not including a TV set and two hi fi set... maybe this is how I create a more YANG environment so that I can stay glued to answering the constant `flood' of e-mails both in this forum and personal e-mails without the need for drinking coffee. *JOKE* The main points to note are:- 1. Try to make sure that the edge of the computer table does not point at the bed especially the head or body. This is considered adverse sha. (poison arrow) 2. Most new computer monitors have `matt' finish or `anti-glare' screens. This relates to the `…

Sorry, I hope you can clarify further what you mean by " we can only position the bed without headboard- directly under a window. " Do you mean to say that it is something similiar to a low ceiling or resembling a pillar. Thanks in advance!

Dear Vivian If you want to find out more about ley lines in relation to Feng Shui, you will be pleased to know that there is a book called:- " Amazing Scientific Basis of Feng Shui by Dr. Ong Hean-Tatt Ph. D, Malaysia " I also have a picture of the cover of the book under this url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/books.htm To summarise, his books talks about water dowzing, the stongehenge etc... and the effects of undergound currents affecting homes that has the currents running under them. The members of these households have been studied and found to have higher incidences of cancer! Hope the above helps! P.S. A note of " warning ". If you think of buying this book to apply …

Dear Jeffrey, If I am not wrong all the variations you may have heard should be correct. This is because in the Chinese Culture, we have different types of dialects, (eg. hokkien, cantonese, teo chew, har kar etc), These dialects pronounce the words slightly differently creating the variations. For example, lets take a surname Chen in Chinese. In Hokkien it is refered to as Tan. Etc. Both are correct, just that they are pronounced differently. If you want to be sure you can use the simplified Chinese pronouncation used in han yu ping yin, eg Feng1 Shui3 (not any dialect form of it.).

Yes, this is a pretty common senairo for many apartments. Anonymous wrote: Hi there, I have the same issue where the front door is directly aligned with the back sliding door but my property is a condo and will be too small to put up a screen or partition; is there anything else that can be done? Perhaps with the use of crystals? Thank you! Often, these are the common senarios:- 1. Often, we can draw "down" the curtain. And the curtain can act as a partial screen. 2. If it is a sliding door, then, slide the fixed panel towards the side directly facing the main door. 3. If we have a tall cabinet e.g. a tall tv cabinet. This is a plus point.

Dear Jez, The ancient coins `tied together' to represent a `symbolic' sword should not be placed at the entrance especially one where it faces the main entrance door. This is bad feng shui. This situation is also very similar to someone hanging a painting of a hungry animal e.g. a tiger. This is symbolic of it's mouth being `open' and will cause problems for the household. Similiarly, one should NEVER hang a pakua in the house as it is equally bad. As the sword represents a `cutting' edge, it is suppose to `cut' away all your luck and bad. Hope that helps. Cecil Lee

Two " Fu Dogs " are normally placed on top of the pillars of the entrance gate more for `luck' and to guard the house. It is still advisable to use other Feng Shui cures e.g. using a semi-circle carpet or pakua or even changing the direction of the door (for those who want to). Fu Dogs are used to `guard' the house and thus not really `cure' adverse sha.

Dear Janet, Thank you for your e-mail. Please see below:- In traditional Feng Shui, powerlines are considered the " water element ". (Which is equivalent to watercourses or streams). As you had mentioned that the powerlines are 1000 metres away, it should thus be considered as " water " flowing along your North East/ North West. To clarify:- 1. Aas you mentioned that your house faces south, does it mean that the main entrance door is at the South? 2. Is the back of your house at the North? At the " micro " level, do try to get an ordinary compass and take a compass reading of your house. What you need to do here is to go a plot of empty land and take a compass bearin…

Dear Jez, Thanks for your reply. I like to share with you what is the rationale for not having a fish tank in the bedrooms. The main reason is that a bedroom is suppose to be a YIN location (or for `peaceful' rest). A fish tank is considered to produce `yang' energy e.g. the fishes swimming in the tank and the air bubbles etc... Similiarly, many Feng Shui Masters also say that plants should not be placed in a bedroom as plants grow and thus produce `yang' energy. For children's room however, it should instead be more `yang' but also should not have fish tank or plants but rather, bright coloured walls, musical instruments, hi-fi etc... You asked the question whether is it…

Dear Alvin, It is no problem as we are corrresponding by e-mail and not on-site:) Please see reply below:- Yes, if you confirm that when you stand directly at your main entrance and there is a poison arrow `cutting' your main entrance, then, there is sha (poison arrow). Yes, my advice will be effective for your case. Alternatively, if the Management of your building could say install a `blind' on the window, then you do not need the `cure' as it will not affect you. Alternatively, if howeever, if " sun-x " or a `relective film' (on the side of the window facing the poison arrow (to reflect it `back') is used, you do not need the cure. If that particular locat…

The flying star chart that is generated for is a 20-year char which last from 1984 to 2003. However, if the house is not renovated in anyway after 2003, the chart is still valid. When the stars move around, the feng shui will change. Thus, there is such a thing a yearly chart and even monthly chart. These report will be available at a later time. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Pedro, Currently, there are quite alot books on Feng Shui. I have not heard of Richard Webster. It is great to hear that you found his books good reading for beginners. This would be of help to users in this forum wanting to buy one for the beginners. Generally, Feng Shui books can be classified as under:- 1. A Feng Shui Master or his student writting books on " Traditional Feng Shui practise " especially those whose Master had originated from Taiwan or HongKong, and the Asia Pacific and even from Canada (where HongKong residents migrated there). 2. Books written not by Chinese Masters but overseas e.g. not of Chinese origin: a. Some of these authors who are influenc…

Dear Glyn, -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Tuesday, January 26, 1999 8:57 AM Subject: Buying a house Yes, look at the landscape and for a house that has the correct facing door for the breadwinner. Normally, you will also find that you have a certain good or bad feeling about the house. Once you are more or less ready and have narrowed down to the few houses which suit you, you can then use the Flying Star theory check for the most suitable house. The rules to apply depends on the element you are curing for and only to cure stars in conflict. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Please see below:- A 5 rod windchime is equal to the technique of hanging a ceiling lamp with 5 bulbs each to represent each of the element. This type of "cure" is to `bring' all the 5 elements together at one location. It is best to clarify with her as there are many Feng Shui theories plus a mix of Chinese Astrology and even divinity methods.

Please see below:- Yes, you did the right thing. In Feng Shui, it is always best to have the stove face the Fire element direction. Yes, this is not ideal but it is better than having it next to a water element e.g. wash basin or refrigerator. The good news is that since you mentioned that your stove is facing the South, which belongs to the Fire element, it is acceptable to have a water position e.g. refrigerator to be facing the `fire' element ie. the stove to `cool down the Fire' element. Good Luck in your renovations!

Dear Mark, Under the Flying Star numbers 2 & 3 are not very good. 2 is normally misfortune and sickness. House number is not really widely practice because it is not really an accurate fortune telling tool. The reason some Feng Shui masters take that into account, is more for flats or high rise buildings. They believe that not every level will have the same feng shui even though the building has the same type of design layout for each level. Only under this circumstances will some Feng Shui master apply this theory giving it additional depth in the analysis. (So far from what I tried, it is need true more for high rise then low rise, for low rise it is not very useful…

Dear Toni, In your case, there are three sets of principles you can apply:- 1. Interior layout of your caravan should follow some of the suggestions provided under the topic " The Home " e.g. the position of the basin in relation to the stove and the position of the bed/table. 2. If you know your true element and it's strengths (Pillars of Destiny) you can apply it to your van eg. if say you are considered a person with weak water: you could enhance your caravan by having blue, grey (as an example). If your element is Water, and you have some designs or logo, you could have a logo that is wavy to represent the Water element. 3. When parking your caravan at night, follow s…
