Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 IN SUMMARY The key point from the 12 Habits of Feng Shui is that using specific habits, like Habit No. 3, helps increase positive energy, leading to greater well-being and harmony. Adopting these habits can make life more balanced and fulfilling. +++ 12 HABITS OF FENG SHUI TRADITIONAL AUTHENTIC FENG SHUI AT ITS BEST + GEOMANCY.NET'S 12 HABITS OF FENG SHUI BY CECIL LEE 1. I have created these effective tools to further develop the traditional practice of Feng Shui. 2. These 12 habits are based on personal experience, observation, and the integration of ideas from various fields, and are applied daily. You can do this too. 3. For example, the term "Triage" comes from medicine and is used to determine the order of treatment for patients in an emergency setting. 4. The idea of "It Depends!" is taken from management, where every situation is unique. 5. The Customer Service Engineer (CSE) concept comes from observing how an IBM CSE solved an ATM’s intermittent communication problem with its host server. 6. I have also refined many other concepts. 7. If you have the time, you can explore each concept to better understand, troubleshoot, and enhance your Feng Shui practice. [1.] ONE: Feng Shui Triage God: “Hey! I manage your souls, not your physical body! Go see a doctor instead, please!” The Feng Shui Triage 1. Physicians need to assess a patient’s condition and perform various examinations. Only after reviewing test results can they fully understand the health issues. 2. The process in Feng Shui is similar. A Feng Shui expert must gather enough information and analyze the “birth-chart” of a residence to gain a clear understanding of the environment before making recommendations. 3. Skilled Feng Shui experts conducting official assessments typically do the following: 4. During the first meeting at the client’s home or workplace, they use a Luo Pan (compass) to examine both the exterior and interior surroundings. 4.1. They also collect the floor plan and relevant personal information from household members. 4.2. Next, the Feng Shui specialist analyzes the collected data and suggests potential improvements. 4.3. The expert then prepares a detailed report with recommendations. 4.4. A second appointment is usually scheduled about a week later, after the practitioner has reviewed findings and formulated suggestions. 4.5. In this follow-up visit, the practitioner goes over the findings and recommendations with the client. 4.6. Despite what some may think, a thorough and professional Feng Shui audit requires significant effort and is far from a random or casual decision. 4.7. Experts often use tools like Flying Star Feng Shui during their evaluations. 4.8. It is similar to expecting a doctor’s explanation before any examination; proper analysis must always come first. The Barber and the Dentist 1. In the past, many people with toothaches would visit their barbers to have their teeth pulled. This is why the barber pole includes a red stripe, symbolizing blood from these extractions. 2. Today, people with dental issues, such as tooth decay or toothaches, seek help from a dentist. 3. Going to a barber for tooth problems in the past can be compared to using “trial and error” methods in Feng Shui. 4. Nowadays, dentists use X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat dental issues, much like how a Feng Shui practitioner maps out sector charts for a home. 5. Based on this illustration, can you compare the historical role of the barber as a dentist to that of the modern-day dentist? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI Scan) Vs An X-Ray 1. MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves, while X-rays and CT scans rely on radiation. 2. X-rays produce flat, two-dimensional images and may not clearly show body tissues, unlike MRI. 3. Modern MRI machines can create detailed, colorful, three-dimensional maps of human tissue. 4. MRI allows doctors to easily examine specific parts of the body, such as areas with cancerous growths. 5. Choosing between an X-ray and an MRI is like deciding between a trial-and-error approach and getting a complete picture. 6. Quality often comes at a price, and choosing cheaper options may not always be the best choice. In-car Entertainment system (I.C.E) Car Installers 1. We offer sales, service, and installation of complete car stereo systems, security systems, and accessories. 2. In the past, upgrading or replacing in-car radio systems was straightforward. 3. Today, even experienced car installers may hesitate to work on a BMW. 3.1 This is because there’s a risk of accidentally triggering the airbags by connecting the wrong wires. 4. Additionally, regular installers may not have the necessary hardware or software to enable certain features. 4.1 For example, installing a Bluetooth system or an extra factory-approved car alarm in a BMW often requires a visit to an authorized workshop with the appropriate software to activate these features. 5. The industry has changed. 5.1 Previously, decisions were made through trial and error without specialized tools, resulting in only a 50-50 chance of success. 5.2 Now, there is a wealth of information and various tools available, making it easier to access the knowledge needed for proper installation. The Automobile Association (The British RAC, The American AAA) 1. In the past, when vehicles were less advanced, Automobile Association (AA) technicians could often resolve common issues like battery faults, alternator problems, and fuel pump failures on the spot. 2. Today, if you contact the AA for breakdown support, apart from battery issues, their technicians may tell you that your vehicle needs to be towed to a workshop of your choice. Germany is one of the few countries renowned for excellent on-site breakdown services, especially on the autobahn. 3. These days, simply opening the car’s hood is no longer enough to fix the problem. Modern fuel systems are highly complex, featuring advanced injection technology and components like flywheel sensors. 4. Times have indeed changed! Twenty years ago, if someone asked a Geomancer about the suitability of a water feature for their wedding, the answer might have been a simple yes or no, with only a 50-50 chance of accuracy. 5. Today, those unfamiliar with modern diagnostic tools and updated software should consider using them for more detailed information. Referring to ancient practices like Flying Star without proper understanding can feel as confusing as speaking a foreign language. 6. Car installers specializing in In-Car Entertainment Systems (I.C.E) 6.1. Provide sales, service, and installation of complete car stereo systems, security features, and accessories. 6.2. In the past, making changes to in-car radio systems was simple and straightforward. Too Little Information to Work With 1. An individual with Gua (Kua) 4 belongs to the East Group. 2. What kind of solutions are you looking for? 2.1. This is like walking into the emergency room and heading straight to the doctor’s office, asking, “What’s wrong with me?” without waiting your turn. 2.2. The doctor might respond, “Please go through the triage first! Triage helps us troubleshoot and identify your issues. Without it, we wouldn’t know where to start.” A triage process is recommended here. More: One brother is named TRIAGE. Another brother is named CURE. TRIAGE IS THE SIAMESE TWIN OF CURE.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [2.] TWO: Fix-the-Leaks, First! 1. There are two main types of Feng Shui improvements: 1.1. Most people focus on finding their wealth area and enhancing it effectively. 1.2. It is also important to address any imbalances that may be present. 2. Unfortunately, many Feng Shui practitioners have turned their services into a marketplace. 2.1. Their main goal is to profit by selling various products marketed as Feng Shui solutions. 2.2. Their typical approach is: Step 1: Identify your wealth location Step 2: Insist you need a specific product for improvements Step 3: Direct you to purchase the product from them 3. It’s important to remember that simply painting all four interior walls gold, for example, is not enough. Ignoring external factors that might be deteriorating is a mistake. 3.1. Imagine you own a luxurious boat filled with treasures, but if the boat has small cracks, those cracks can grow and eventually cause it to sink, taking all its riches and passengers with it. 3. The idea is to identify and fix the leaks, first. And Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [3.] THREE: The Concept of Maximising Marks 1. For example, if the exam requires you to answer 4 out of 10 questions within a 2-hour time limit. 2. Make sure to attempt all 4 questions and, if possible, spend about 30 minutes on each one. 3. The student answered only 3 questions and did not attempt the 4th, resulting in a failing grade of 45 out of 100 marks. 4. Feng Shui follows a strategy similar to taking examinations. 1. In several forum posts, I have highlighted how Feng Shui can be compared to exams. 2. A smart student aims to maximize their score during an exam. 2.1 For example, in an essay test with 4 mandatory questions. 2.2 It’s best to attempt all 4 questions, each worth 25 marks out of 100. 2.3 Answering only 3 of the 4 required questions is risky, especially if your answers aren’t strong. 3. In the same way, Feng Shui, Pillars of Destiny, and similar practices are designed to improve our Earth Luck. 3.1 Simply trying to “activate” one specific sector—such as the South-West—without considering the Five Elements is more about luck than strategy. 4. In Flying Star analysis, there are 9 sectors. Dividing 100 by 9 gives about 11.1% for each sector. 4.1 If you only activate one sector correctly, you earn just 11% of the benefit—basically a failing grade. 5. When you properly apply Flying Star analysis, you can improve at least 6 or more sectors, multiplying your results. 6. If our goal is to boost Earth Luck, we need to tackle multiple areas—like taking several exams. 6.1 In real-life education, you must sit for and pass more than one exam to succeed. 7. To extend the analogy, Feng Shui includes different “papers”: Paper 1: Shapes and Form Feng Shui Paper 2: Flying Star Paper 3: Eight House Paper 4: Pillars of Destiny 7.1 You need to give attention to all these areas, or at least pass each one to truly benefit. 8. Many people believe focusing on just one sector is enough, but often find Feng Shui does not work for them. 8.1 Looking at Feng Shui as a whole, I’m not saying it will always work for everyone, but we should aim to cover all our bases to improve our chances of success.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [4.] FOUR: The Customer Service Engineer (CSE) Concept 1. It is recommended to make enhancements or apply remedies gradually, especially if you are working without professional assistance. 2. For example, when troubleshooting, an IBM Customer Engineer will first remove what appears to be a faulty card. He will observe the situation for a while, and if the issue is resolved, the fix is considered successful. If not, he will replace another card and continue monitoring. 3. Likewise, if you're making improvements on your own, it's best not to implement all changes at once. For instance, avoid upgrading the garden, a specific room, or multiple areas simultaneously. This makes it easier to identify any mistakes if problems occur. 4. It is advisable to test each enhancement for two weeks to a month, especially for those who frequently undertake such activities. 5. The approach of a Customer Service Engineer (CSE) is clear in my experience with an IBM CSE who troubleshoots intermittent communication issues between an ATM and the host server. 6. The root cause of the ATM’s communication problems could be the Singtel ISDN line, the modems between the bank and the Singtel exchange, or the IBM ATM machine itself. 7. This particular ATM had a high rate of downtime, which led to many complaints. 8. The ATM is equipped with about eight card slots. 9. The IBM engineer systematically removed and replaced different modular cards in the ATM, isolating the card causing the problem and ruling out other equipment faults. 10. The same principle applies to Feng Shui practices. 10.1. When applying D.I.Y. cures, introduce them one at a time rather than all at once. Monitor each change for a few days before adding another. 10.2. This method makes it easier to pinpoint any issues that arise by tracing them back to recent actions.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [5.] FIVE: Pure Common Sense 1. Many Feng Shui experts highlight the benefits of a bed with four raised corners, as it helps positive Qi energy flow smoothly. 2. Honestly, the main reason is practicality. 3. This can only occur. 4. Always ask yourself: Does this make sense? What’s the lesson here? In the future, it's worth connecting each situation to rational thinking. I searched this forum for "common sense" and found 540 matches. Clearly, many issues are related to common sense. Often, seeking help from a Feng Shui Master for these matters is a weak justification. Frankly, it’s never too late to learn something new. I might have a high IQ and EQ, but I only just realized this. Please remember, many others share this trait, so there’s no need to take it personally. LOL.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [6.] SIX: Fast Food Feng Shui During the 1980s, Feng Shui saw a surge in popularity, with many individuals eager to learn and apply its principles on their own. This trend gave rise to the term "Fast Food Feng Shui," which describes the tendency to adopt quick fixes and superficial solutions without fully understanding the underlying philosophy or methods. As a result, many people treated Feng Shui as a set of easily digestible tips rather than a comprehensive system that considers various factors and requires careful analysis. This oversimplification often led to misconceptions and ineffective practices. Genuine Feng Shui involves a balanced, holistic approach that takes into account the unique qualities of each space and the needs of its occupants, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all recommendations. I continue to have unsettling dreams about Fast Food Feng Shui. It's understandable to feel unsettled by these dreams, especially if they reflect concerns about superficial approaches or quick fixes in areas of life that feel important or personal. Sometimes, dreams use symbols—like "Fast Food Feng Shui"—to represent anxieties about things being oversimplified or not taken seriously enough. They may also highlight a desire for genuine understanding, stability, and authenticity. If these dreams are persistent, it might be helpful to reflect on whether there are areas in your daily life where you feel pressured to accept easy answers or shortcuts, instead of seeking depth and real meaning. Sometimes, our subconscious picks up on these situations, translating them into vivid or unsettling imagery. You might find some reassurance by refocusing on a more balanced, thoughtful approach—whether in Feng Shui or in other aspects of your life. Taking time to understand and address important matters more carefully can bring peace of mind. Additionally, practicing mindfulness or relaxation techniques before bed might help ease the frequency or intensity of these dreams. If you’re open to it, journaling about your dreams may reveal more about what’s truly bothering you beneath the surface, helping you process these feelings and rest more comfortably.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [7.] SEVEN: Situational Approach = It Depends! Combining management principles with Feng Shui, the situational approach is both innovative and practical. By recognizing that every situation is unique, we show that there is no one-size-fits-all solution in leadership or environment design. The situational approach, based on Hersey and Blanchard’s work, teaches leaders to adjust their style to fit the situation. Applying this to Feng Shui, emphasizes adapting recommendations to each space and its people, rather than using generic fixes. This approach values careful study of every situation, leading to more effective results in both leadership and Feng Shui. This method shows a commitment to flexibility and understanding individual differences, making the practice both meaningful and useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [8.] EIGHT: Feng Shui by Exception! In basic management literature, the concept of Management by Exception is common. Applying this principle means focusing on exceptions rather than every issue. Managers use this approach to address only unusual or significant problems, allowing them to spend their time and resources on more important tasks.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [9.] NINE: The Three-Step Approach What is the Three-Step Approach? To use this method effectively, it’s important to understand these three aspects: Step 1: Determine the purpose of the concept or theory. Step 2: Identify its strengths. Step 3: Recognize its weaknesses. By following these steps, you will build a strong foundation in Feng Shui. For example, the Eight House concept or the 4 Good 4 Bad directions each have their own limitations. According to the Eight House concept, the choice is clear-cut: EBONY OR IVORY. Will you say YES or NO? Are you working in a good sector? Yes or No? Are you sitting facing a good direction? Yes or No? This theory is designed to provide clear, actionable answers. Its concept is positive—it aims to enhance your well-being and luck by positioning you in the best possible sector and direction. There is no room for uncertainty: if your answer is "No" to either, the benefit is lost; only "Yes" ensures alignment with Feng Shui principles and the promised results.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [10.] TEN: You stay there, we don't? Correct? It is important for Feng Shui Masters, developers, and other service providers to always consider their clients' individual circumstances. For example, I have met clients who were told by their previous Feng Shui Master to completely avoid using the main toilet in their home. Feng Shui Masters, developers, and service providers should always consider each client's unique situation. General advice—like never using the main toilet—may not be suitable for every home. Recommendations should fit the family's needs and lifestyle. A flexible, practical approach, focused on solutions and adjustments, is better than strict rules. The goal is to improve harmony and well-being in a way that truly helps the people living there. Other examples.... Also, it is pretty common for staff of companies who do not have empathy at all... Q: Want to ask if we want to do this mirror tv console feature, is it ok? Reply: Side is ok. But hopefully ceiling lights does not provide glare (I took into consideration: You stay there we don't!)

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 18, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 [12.] TWELVE: Don't be a Headbanger Avoid being stubborn, as there may be times when moving is the only practical option. Are there other solutions you can consider? It's important to recognize that not all Feng Shui problems can be fixed easily or realistically without thinking about relocating. In such cases, you may need to look for alternative solutions in other areas of your life. Question: Based on your posts, if someone is unlucky and the rubbish chute is next to or in front of their unit, what is the remedy? 1. I strongly recommend thoroughly inspecting the location of common bins before making any final decisions, especially in ECs and Condos where such details may not be clearly disclosed. Always ask the agent to show you the exact spot in person. 1.1. If possible, try to avoid buying a unit in this situation. 1.2. If you have already bought a unit near a rubbish chute, unfortunately, your options may be limited. 1.3. Upon reaching the gates of heaven... 1.3.1. Little girl: Have you seen the questions I asked Master Cecil Lee? 1.3.2. Angel: Yes, I have. Sadly, I don’t have the answers you’re looking for. Maybe you should ask the Devil below? 1.3.3. Little girl: After meeting the devil below: Dear girl, I wish I could give you an answer in exchange for your soul, but even I don’t have a solution. You are free to go, as I cannot keep you here. 2. Title: Even another term for "God" or "Devil" offers no answers to your questions. 2.1. I own a sedan that seats five adults, but I need a vehicle that can carry seven people every day. 2.2. I cannot afford a 7-seater MPV, and taking taxis daily isn’t practical for me. 2.3. Is there a solution to this problem? Addedum: The correct title should be: "BEYOND BOTH GOD & LUCIFER - AS THEY TOO LACK ANSWERS FOR YOU". Given that this is not related to Feng Shui, is it possible to find a suitable solution? If so, please call 555 = FIRE, FIRE, FIRE and give the answer to Lucifer.. LOL More.... More Headbangers... More Headbangers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 10, 2024 Author Staff Share Posted October 10, 2024 Hi Cecil, 2 questions. 1) If the toilet is always in the center of all the layouts, does it mean that this development is a no go. Is there a way to solve this issue? 2) if the good areas (eg NW and SW) are actually missing corners, does this mean that this property is not suitable? Reply: 1. It varies: 2. Check the link, particularly Habit 3, which discusses the idea of maximizing marks. 3. For instance, if the house is comparable to a 10-year-old, 1000cc car, no matter how much effort is put into improvements, the results may not be favorable. 4. Therefore, with the toilet positioned at the center and missing corners in the NW and/or SW, this house is definitely a lost cause. 5. On the other hand, if the house has fewer issues and is suitable for the breadwinner, with good Internal and External Feng Shui, then even having the toilet in the center or missing corners in the NW/SW may not be a critical problem.
