If I want to apply feng shui in the office where I work, can I apply flying stars, and if so, is the "main entrance" the entrance of the building or the door to my room? Do I draw the sectors for the whole building or within the room? If the building includes an office section and manufacturing and warehouse sections that are all connected, do I have to take them all into account? Or, since my main focus is to improve my own personal wellbeing, should I only apply shapes and forms and facing positions within my own room, and not consider flying stars? Miriam

Is it possible to use a more "friendly" method, such as perhaps putting a semicircular mat with a pattern of "sunrays" radiating outward? Miriam

I am attaching a file with the floor plan of our apartment unit. I am not sure how to draw the sectors for flying star. I don't know whether to treat the NW and NE corners as protrusions and leave them out of the outline (pink line) or to treat the north side, and SE and SW corners as indentations and therefore make the outline outside of all the outer limits of our unit (red line). Also, if I make the sectors as pie-shaped wedges (green lines), where is the center sector and how large should I make it? Miriam

Recently I was in a store that sells decorative items, and I saw some items using copies of the "ancient Chinese coins" with the square hole in the middle. However, these coins were of various sizes, some very large and some very small, and arranged in different ways not similar to what you have shown in this site. I was thinking of buying one of these items and taking it apart to use the coins from it in the proper arrangement. Is it important what size these coins are? Is there a minimum size or a standard size? How can I tell if the coins I saw are ok to use for this purpose? Miriam

What I wondered was, if most of the parts are made of glass (only one metal rod, and the rest are glass squares), does this make it more similar to the water element? Especially since it is in a blue color? Do the six glass squares represent the metal element because of the number 6? Would it be better to buy this style of wind chime in the purple color (fire element) so as not to add too much water to the wood elements 3 and 4 found in this sector? Or is the blue color ok because water and metal go together? If I bought one of the chimes with metal rods but not having the right number of rods (having, say, 3, 4 or 5 rods) what would be the effect of that? What is preferrable? Miriam

I went to look for wind chimes to hang in one of the windows. You have said that they should be with 6 metal rods. In one store, all the wind chimes had different numbers of rods, but not six. Very many of them had 5 rods. In another store, I found a wind chime with six squares of blue glass arranged around a central metal rod. The squares are each hung by one corner on a nylon thread, with a small round bead above that corner. The squares are hung from a circle at the top, on different lengths of nylon thread. All the elements are in blue. If I hang this in a north-facing window on the border between the NW sector (8m, 4w, 8b) and the N sector (4m, 9w, 3b), is this ok? Miriam

I want to hang six coins over my main entrance which is facing East(90)in the East sector, where the flying stars are 2 mountain, 7 water, 5 base. Should I do this from the inside of the house or from the outside? Also, can I make my own packet of local coins (Israel shekels) and does it matter which denomination or which metal it is? Miriam

If we use one of these alternatives to "neutralise" a beam, does this mean that afterwards one may sleep or sit under the beam without ill effects? Miriam

Trying to attach my drawing again because I think it didn't succeed last time.

Thank you for your reply. 1) Is the upper step in your drawing the floor level of the upper level? 2) I have tried to make a drawing which I will try to attach to this post to illustrate what I mean. Thank you Miriam

Thank you for your reply. Regarding drawing the sectors, our unit is an elongated rectangle, so there is a difference if I draw wedges or 9 rectangles. For instance, according to the 9 rectangles all of my son's room is in the south, whereas by the wedges radiating from the center at least half of it is in the southwest. My question about the computer was, how to decide in which sector to put it and which direction it should face, if the different users have different good or bad sectors or directions? Should I make it best for the person who spends the most hours at it? Or for the person who is in charge of technical maintenance and knows the most about it? Thank you Miriam

I have a couple more questions: 1) How do you count the steps in a staircase? Do you include the floor of the level above and/or the floor of the level below, or only the steps in the middle? If there is a landing, does it count as a step? Does it depend on the size of the landing? If the steps are outside the unit (in the public staircase between the units) does it have an influence on the unit's feng shui? What about steps on the hillside on the path approaching the building? 2) We live in an apartment building where the entrance to the stairwell between the units is on the south side but facing up the hill. However the door entering our unit is in the center of the east wall of our unit, facing the stairwell from the side. Does this make our main entrance an east-facing entrance? Inside the unit, the living, dining and kitchen areas are on the side facing down the slope (north) while the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the south side. On the north side near the east end, there is a door going out to the balcony. So what does this say in general about which direction our apartment is facing? Thank you, Miriam Davis

I am completely new to the subject of Feng Shui. I have read the free lessons and received some of the free reports. I have a few questions: 1) When using the 8-house analysis, should I draw the sectors as wedges of a pie radiating out from the center, or should I make 9 rectangles? I am a little confused. The 2 different possibilities give different results regarding what is included in each sector. 2) In your replies to others, you said that the shapes and forms have 50% importance, the 8-house has 25% importance, and the Flying Star has 25% importance. Also you said that if you have to choose between location in a sector vs. facing direction, the location is more important. Do I apply these 2 rules for the house as a whole and also within the individual rooms? 3) If all the family members use one thing (the computer) and there is a conflict of good locations and directions for different family members, how do you resolve this? The best and good sectors of my son and myself are NE, NW, W, and SW. The best and good sectors of my husband, daughter, and grandson are N, E, SE, and S. The biggest users of the computer at home are my son and my husband, and I also use it but I spend more time at the computer at work than at home. My daughter uses it sometimes.
