Be careful of this old Feng Shui scam Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?” In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice. +++ What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of pra…

Location: Corner Indian eatery at Serangoon Gardens (by the way they individually make fresh one of the best pratas around) The concrete beam you see in the photo is considered load bearing beam. But do take note that the rest of the brown wooden planks that were mounted onto the ceiling are non-load bearing beams. However, some has a misunderstanding that the planks are beams - which is in theory not true at all.

Can my altar face the dining table? So long as the deity sitting on the altar: at EYE LEVEL does not DIRECTLY face the dining table TOP. If this "test" is passed; then no issue. Why not? Standard off the shelf commercially purchased altars have specific altar heights of around 49 3/4 inches. This is the norm. If so, this much higher than a regular (normal) dining table other than those bar counter tops.

In summary, if we stand at the main entrance door and can see stairs leading downwards; this symbolises "money down the drain". As mentioned, previously, by Singapore law, the staircase door by right should be closed at all times. If so, if the stairs cannot be seen; "it no longer becomes a threat"

Myths about the Chinese 7th month The Chinese 7th month traditions are deeply cultural and mostly symbolic. They should not be a source of fear or unnecessary restriction in daily life. Embracing these customs with understanding and kindness can give more meaning than worry. Q1. Should you avoid staying out late during the 7th month? No need to worry! In modern cities like Singapore, there's no evidence or special reason to avoid late-night activities during the 7th month. Most people are well-protected by their natural aura or yang qi, and the vast majority are not at increased risk during this period. Unfortunately, a small minority …

As mentioned, previously, in Singapore and in the 1970's one of the most popular trees planted in a landed property garden is the mango tree. In the past, individual landed properties range from: 7,000sq. ft to 12,000 sq. ft for bungalows, half that for semi-detached homes and 1/3 to 1/4 of the above for a terrace homes. It is very common for many home owners to plant a mango or even several mango trees on the grounds of their landed property. In this example, as the mango tree was planted outside of the property; and because the large part of the floor area was covered by concrete; this would account for this tree to be smaller than what it can grow further. But …

It is my belief that it is crucial to keep in mind that when we analyze or engage our critical thinking skills, various aspects such as traditions, habits, and even Feng Shui are frequently linked to the concept of rationality = Common sense. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=31093&new=When a question is posted on the forum, I consistently consider whether it can be linked to common sense. It is often the case that the answer is simply common sense. The next time you need to explain something to your child or family, consider whether it is a matter of common sense.
