Re: Feng Shui
I told him to find a good book to read, but I said nothing about trusting or believing it. Believing in something is mainly about how you want to believe; that's why can you trust everything you read, see, or hear? Don't forget that our brain is so powerful to delude us sometime. Therefore, any chance or any source that can help you to open another gate of differences, you shouldn't eliminate it. This is what I meant.
In his previous post, he said Feng Shui is a superstition, which made me wonder if he really understood what superstition meant. Feng Shui is similar to religions, which in my opinion, were a superstition in theirs own form, yet some people out there begged to differ. To them, religions were not a superstition since superstition is a negative notion. How dare I was to tell them that they were being superstitious to believe in religions when I knew nothing about them in their eyes. Henceforth, I needed to read books, talk to people who practice it, etc. to understand what were religions. Now I don't really classify religions as a superstition after I realized they have many different aspects. The bottom line is if I don't understand something well enough, I can't classify something is something.

Re: Feng Shui -Wind & Water
Feng shui originated in China some 3,000 or more years ago but by a strange reason has been officially banned there. Feng shui manuscripts were destroyed and the feng shui masters were imprisoned. Despite the effort to eradicate feng shui the leader of China could not eliminate feng shui and so up to this day is still widely practised in China but with good sense.

Re: Feng Shui - Practice in our own house
First rule: no clutter.
Clutter causes stagnation, makes you feel depressed, tired and stuck. A blocked area in your house will be having a negative impact on the corresponding area of your life. So clear all the mess in your house if you want to get rid of the negative emotions.
The Japanese word called "ma"; refers to beauty of the space in between objects.

This is also difficult for me but I guess in time we will get used to the practice.

Re: Feng Shui - Tips to lessen the mess
Don't just let your old stuff stay for long periods of time in one corner especially, if you don't really need them. Learn to let go of things that are no longer needed. If you cannot correct this, it will cause the energy to stagnate in that corner of your house resulting to a negative effect on the corresponding area of your life.Krisi wrote:First rule: no clutter.

If you find it difficult to battle with the clutter, here's a cure;
- 1. move 27 things in your house that have not been moved for a long time, everyday for nine days.
2. or, throw one unneeded thing out everyday, even if this is just a small thing or something that has been staying for a number of years in your cabinets. I think it's just meaningless to hoard them.
And, don't forget to clean your pockets too.

Feng Shui in Dining & Family Rooms
- Your dining and family rooms must be filled with positive energy.
This is the right place to keep your stereo system or television set to create good activity in the room.
Bright or happy coloured walls will give us a positive mood when painted on your dining & family room walls.
These are also the right areas to install or hang wall mirror to reflect the happiness of the people or the food on the table.

Re: Feng Shui in your Living Room
- Hang a picture of sunrise at the southern corner of your living room. This will open up promising paths for advancement & progress in your life.
To gain extra luck and create good fortune, place your stereo sets on the west side of your living room.

Re: Feng Shui
I think the progress in life and good fortune has nothing to do in Feng shui. Although a man follow feng shui but that man don't live productively then it is absurd.

Re: Feng Shui
People with negative energy should be avoided. They are obnoxious and troublesome they only send negative energy your way.
Positive people have warm heart, will not harm you and can give you a guiding hand. They bring positive energy towards you.
Good day!

Feng Shui at home
Any water feature in front of the house, e.g. artificial water falls or water fountain, should be located on the left of the main door from inside the house looking out.
