Welcome
to our Feng shui section. In ancient times as well as today, Feng shui,
pronounced in English as ("fung shway"), was known as "Kan-Yu",
which means 'The Law of Heaven and Earth.’ Feng Shui is the art of
placing buildings and objects in relation to energy flows, to heighten
positive energies and minimise the negative ones.
It is an ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space
to achieve harmony with the environment.
Feng shui literally translates as "wind-water." This is a
cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Zhangshu
(Book of Burial) by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty. The qi that rides the
wind stops at the boundary of water.
Feng shui is a discipline with guidelines that are compatible with many
techniques of architectural planning as well as internal furniture
arrangements.
Space, weather, astronomy, and geomagnetism are basic components of
feng shui. Proponents claim that feng shui has an effect on health,
wealth, and personal relationships.
Feng Shui is the art of placing buildings and objects in relation to
energy flows, to heighten positive energies and minimise the negative
ones.
The purpose of Feng Shui is to enable you to organise your home so that
the Ch'i energy, the all-pervading life force, is accentuated by the
precise positioning of your house, furniture, decorations and other
objects.
The role of plants flowers and fruits in Feng Shui is very strong. A
well-placed plant can change your family fortunes and harmonise your
life.

Feng Shui tips for your home :
There should be no shoes or slippers lying around outside the
main door of your house. Remove it if you can. Allow that space
at the main door to be free and clear. The chi (energy) rides
with the wind and will collect all the smell of those shoes and
slippers into your house causing sickness. Ch’i then
travels about in your house looking for water to stay but if
there are no water fountains or fish tanks, then the Ch’i
will be dispersed by wind. There should be no television sets in your bedrooms: If you
cannot get rid of that habit then after watching the television
cover it with a plastic table cloth. Remember it has to be
plastic and not simply cloth.
There should be no mirrors opposite your bed or at the side
of your bed. Mirrors opposite the bed can attract a third party
to the relationship. Therefore, do not place mirrors anywhere
you like and especially in your bedroom. Place an indoor water fountain in your home, position in a
favourable area to attract whatever you want in your life. If you already have a fish tank in your house, be careful. A
fish tank placed correctly can bring about greater fortune, as
you will tap on the "Divine Water Dragon's Den". But
if you tap wrongly, it can cause you to have lawsuits,
bankruptcy, work pressure, troubles and problems. If you noticed
any of these after placing the fish tank for approximately four
months, shift your fish tank to another location. In your kitchen, ensure that opposite your stove there is no
refrigerator, washing machine, washbasin and toilet. The fire
and water crash causing family members to have disagreements.
Try not to allow children to sleep on mattresses on the
floor. Yes, this allows young children not to fall off beds but
it also causes young children to fall sick frequently. The
reason is: chi is not able to flow underneath the bed. Ideally,
chi should circulate around the mattress where our children
sleep to allow them to be healthy. For young children, try to have their back to the wall when
they write. It is important there should be a solid wall behind
a children's writing table. This allows the child to have
support so that he can sit there and study longer rather than
for only half an hour and then they tend to move about because
there is no solid wall behind their back. Adjust your writing
table. Do not allow children to sleep on double bunk beds even if it
means saving space. The child sleeping underneath will not have
"fresh chi" and so his health might be weak. But if
due to space constraints, then monitor your child's health if
not add in a metal 6 rods wind chime or a crystal sphere, to
break up the "stale chi" around his bed. Your bed should always have a solid wall behind you. This is
important if you wish to have a good rest. A solid wall simply
means that you can go into deeper sleep and therefore enabling
you to have good rest so that when you wake up in the morning,
you will feel fresh and well rested. This also allows you to be
able to concentrate on your work better. There should be no beam on top of your bed. The beam above
causes chi to be pressured thus enabling you to have pressures
in life. Therefore, don't place furniture underneath it or
alternatively level the beam. But make sure if you choose the
latter, it is important that you have enough height for that
space. If you have a lot of work pressure, maybe it's the marble
table that you have in your dinning room that causes you to have
those problems. Remove that marble table and change to a wooden
one or alternatively live with that work pressure! If your child usually falls sick in that bedroom: Then either
change them to another bedroom or simply hang a six rod metal
wind chime as the metal element will break all the earth
energies in that room. After hanging, if the wind could not do
the job for you then you will have to "chime" it
yourself and then watch for the good results. Do not use a red sofa set: The colour red represent the
element of fire. And for Feng Shui, some places simply cannot
have the colour red in that sector. Always open your bedroom windows at least once 20 minutes a
day to allow fresh chi to come in, we do this so that it allows
fresh new chi from outside to come into your bedroom, if not you
will be sleeping with stale chi every night. And if that
happens, then how can you expect your life to bring in more good
fortune to come to you?
