prize. I had read on the FREE Advice ( General Topics ) and came across an item regarding this 6 coins. I have use 6 5cents coins and place it evenly apart between the 6 coins on top of my main doors recently and I hope this will bring me good luck since i am on the bad side for nearly 2 years. Will this methods works well with me. Here are my personal details:
1. Animal Bone fortune : Horse Bone
2. Twelve creature : Stag
3. Career Star : Independence Star
4. Yearly Gods : Broken Year
5. Nine Stars : Chi Tu
My Kua no. is 5 and i belong to one of the West group Gua and my Gua element is EARTH elememt.
My birth element is WEAK WOOD.
Please advise what should I prevent and What should I do to enhance more wealth and luck.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Eng Choon,
1. Please note that what you had mentioned has to do more with `beliefs' than Feng Shui.
2. Under the Five Elements Concept - destructive cycle: it is where metal destroys wood to create wealth.
Ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/5element.htm
2.1 One interpretation is as follows:-
Use 3 coins to be placed under the floor mat:
This is where 3 represents = wood element
and the metal coins represent metal.
Here, symbolically metal is used to destroy wood element (represented by the 3 coins).
Result: When one steps on the 3 coins; it is like one stepping on or touching gold.
2.2 Another interpretation:
6 coins represent metal.
Since metal = gold or in the Five elements concept: instead of the `western' interpretation of METAL; METAL in mandarin refers to or is called GOLD.
Here, since 6 coins represent BIG GOLD (METAL); the belief is that if one steps on "6 GOLD" one is stepping on large amounts of gold.
2.3 Some other FS practitioners or book authors indicate another version:
Place 8 or 9 coins under the floor mat.
Here, they believe that the number 8 or 9 are lucky numbers.
2.4 If one follows the above; these are generally beliefs rather than Feng Shui.
3. There is even one School of Feng Shui which beliefs in asking their clients to bury " the Eight Treasures " for example at each corner of the house and under the centrepoint or even below the main entrance.
The idea is the same: when one steps on the floor of the main entrance... one is said to step on gold.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Since the above is relatively simple to do; and as it is based on beliefs, I do not see any harm in anyone trying it out. (I am not sure it will work for everyone though).
But as mentioned in past forum messages; the use of metal element at various places in the house is `less harmful' then the danger of activating bad earth element or bad wood element. Since metal is used as a cure.

Another use for coins - russians like to put gold coins in the brides shoes so that she "walks on gold" during the wedding service.

Dear Cecil,
Yes, I agree with you that the feng shui practice worldwide is very much peppered by each community's cultural/religional belief. My question is what is real feng shui, what is not? How do you separate out the real thing from the made-belief?
Warmest regards,
SL

Dear SL,
1. In my opinion, for those who would like to really find out what is real Feng Shui can get their `clue' from "academic" Feng Shui books especially from Dr. Evelyn Lip.
2. Some of Dr. Evelyn Lip's book include:
" Feng Shui for the Home " and " Chinese Geomancy. "
One can easily search for the author especially under : amazon.com or other online bookstores.
3. It is sad that today.. many may not want to `touch' her books because it refers more towards: history, origin and various concepts in Feng Shui. However, many people (I believe) feel that it may not have strong advise or an A to Z application of what they perceive as Feng Shui.
Unlike another famous author who usually gives you all the advise. I believe many people then feel that this is the `real' stuff as it is `suppose' to be applied (EASILY).
4. Alternatively, one can buy some of the "first" generation Feng Shui books such as by the author: Derek Walters.
I find that his work is authentic because:
4.1 He wrote few books on Feng Shui.
4.2 All his books have reference to either Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
His classic book " Handbook of Feng Shui " has concepts on the 5 elements.
While his pictorial book on Feng Shui has lots of illustrations.
5. Frankly, I believe book authors should follow these two authors who help one to understand Feng Shui concepts instead of `bragging' about what cures one should use here or there.
Such authors WILL (in my opinion) do more harm than good. And feed the frenzy of commercial companies who earn lots of money making wind chimes; figures etc....
6. If one has the time; one can also go thru some of the messages in this forum. It is hoped that whatever advise or messages written would help to distinguish between Feng Shui ; Chinese beliefs ; Ba Zi (Pillars) and others.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
