The office environment is considered to be the actual base of earnings, but the cash streams may not stream in the same manner people would like, and that is the reason why feng shui office can help to make a change. For a long time, Asian people have relied on the applications of feng shui office key facts to enhance the performance in their companies.

Research projects point out that situations are generally a little diverse in cases where people are working in a office at home or business office, and financial success will likely be easier to appear in the former scenario, over which one has a lot more impact. A business feng shui office suffers the influences of the rest of the surroundings: the building, the other workplaces and the men and women you work with.

The utilization of the Ba-Gua grid is actually the structure for the feng shui office design. The octagonal diagram applies to several things of one’s existence in nine portions which establish the career, the prosperity, the connection with the elders, the business and personal connections, the creativity level and the individual evolution and goals and similar matters. When the Ba-Gua chart is implemented to a certain location, a person will have the nine key essentials pinpointed. Then, a person can move to selecting representational objects, colors, decoration motifs to build a feng shui office. The entrance of the feng shui office needs to be appealing or desirable, sending an optimistic message to anyone who approaches it. The way the light source falls on the access door along with the first items an individual lays eyes on while entering are some other important factors for the decoration of a feng shui office.

Without doubt a personalized location in which you feel effective about is one other factor to devote your interest to. The desk, for instance, should express the person who works at it. Further on, the position of a vivid colour spot in this maximum target zone will grow the potential to concentrate as well as will generate fantastic business ideas.

The most significant feng shui office challenge happens anytime people change jobs and you have to adjust to a new place of work. For these sort of situations you may want to redecorate the business office according to your style as well as using the balance and harmony principles of feng shui. The initial step to do is that of cleaning out the energetic remnants of the former occupant; this imprint could interfere with your own balance and have an effect on it one way or the other.

Clean up the feng shui workplace, get rid of the clutter, rearrange the furniture and the decor items with the help of the Ba-Gua. You can as well set a few feng shui representations or crystal things in the office to generate wealth and career achievements. Tranquility and harmony!

Feng Shui is an ancient practice among the Chinese but has been widely used in the Western World for a long time now. It basically works by balancing the flow of chi in one’s home. In short, when applied properly, it brings good fortune. One of the most common items used in Feng Shui is the mirror. By knowing exactly where to position it according to the principles of Feng Shui, you can bring good luck in your home or office.


When placing mirrors in the foyer, avoid placing them opposite the front door as it can prevent positive energy from entering your home. Instead, place it on either side of the door. Choose those that are rectangular in shape if you are looking for balance. For unity, choose circular ones instead. And for power, go for the Bagua mirror, which has eight-sides.


Baguas are considered powerful and should only be placed outside the house. They are usually placed in areas across pointed edges. Angles and edges are considered poison arrows in Chinese tradition and can bring bad luck once it is pointed inside the house. Interestingly, Baguas are said to possess powers to counter the poison arrows.


The bathroom is the symbol for marriage, wealth, and fame. To prevent positive energy from flowing out of the bathroom, place a body-size mirror just outside the door. If you wish to put a mirror inside the bathroom, avoid placing separate mirrors. Use a whole mirror instead that will allow you to get a clear view of yourself and enhance positive energy as well.


They can bring positive energy when placed in the office as well. Hang one right above your working desk especially if your back is towards the front door so that you can see who’s coming in and going out of the room. This mirror placement will help boost up your wealth.


One important thing you should remember is to never place them face to face with each other as this can result to poor chi flow. Whether you’re a practitioner of Feng Shui or not, the proper placement of mirrors inside the home or the office is still important as it can determine how your interior design would look like.

House facing and your main door


Every house or apartment building has a sitting and a facing direction and in most cases we can intuitively differentiate them. The facing is usually the side with allow the maximum qi energy into your house.


How to determine which site allow the most qi energy?


First, you must remember that we all bring in the most qi energy into the house when we walk through the main door.


Take an example, you stay in a condominium where there are on-going construction nearby and you pass by the construction site everytime you want to go home. You will definitely bring along all the killing qi “sha” into your house once you open your main door and walk in. You are not climbing into your condo through the balcony. Your family members are more prone to sickness.


Take another example. This is a truth story. Mr. David Lee was staying in a double storey house. He have a large glass door on the ground floor facing south and his balcony also facing south and his main door is facing west. You might want to conclude that his house facing is South. There was a huge construction site in front of his house not far away. Mr. Lee thought that by not using the glass door and balcony (and also by having curtains) will block all the killing qi. However, he used to passed by the constructon site whenever he want to go home. He entered his house using his south facing door. This means he was bring all the killing qi into his house.


Thus, the site that allow the most qi entering your house is the most frequently used door. Therefore, you can conclude that the facing direction is the facing of your main door.


You should take the compass reading standing inside your house facing your main door.


Dos


1. Priority 1. choose the best facing direction for the main door. It is the mouth of chi. You entire house’s feng shui depends on it. Use our “Online virtual feng shui master” to find the best direction and make sure your house score at least 3 stars. Click here


2. Priority 2. be located at your Sheng Qi location to the owner’s Kua. Make sure you did priority 1. Warning: If priority 1. is totally wrong no matter where is the location of the main door it becomes insignificant.


3. when open make sure it either open to the front or side of the house and face spacious area.


4. open into a non-cluttered area.


5. well-lit area of the house.


6. obstruction free.


Main door facing any sha qi or open into any wrongfully features inside the house will bring bad feng shui into the house.


Don’ts


The main door should not open to face


1. directly onto street lamp posts, street sign
2. directly onto a tree.
3. a mirror inside the house. This is one of the most crucial mistake and very often happened to modern houses.
4. a toilet
5. kitchen inside the house. In case of open concept kitchen, make sure it not facing directly onto your stove.

Protecting The Home With Feng Shui

Protecting oneself from the vagary of life can be almost a full-time job nowadays. When the hits seem to come from every direction, one cannot seem to catch a break, and evil abounds beyond all decent reason, it’s time to turn to preserving ourselves. Those who have practiced metaphysical or religious rituals are utilizing what they have learned more than ever before as even those formerly effective methods seem to be faltering. Those with knowledge of the occult (which means ‘hidden’) are looking for ever more powerful incantations for security in this world-gone-mad that seems to be heading straight to Hell. No wonder everyone is so tired-it takes a lot of energy to keep the energetic shield up around the body.


Feng shui practitioners are well aware of the cycles of Nature and the types of things that can truly upset one’s world; perhaps permanently. Utilizing the natural flow of energies, increasing the positive and inhibiting the negative, the Master of such an art stays apart from the whims of the world. Would it surprise people to discover that feng shui is actually quantum physics applied correctly? Modern scientists have only recently begun to prove what Buddhist monks have known for over 5,000 years. While they do not call what they do quantum physics, they are actually using the Laws of the Universe, which they have learned through thousands of years of observation of Nature.


So here’s the choice: use your own bio-energetic field to keep an energy field around yourself and your property, or use some items that have been specially crafted to do it for you. There are many feng shui devices that serve as major protectors; one need not reinvent the wheel. There are 5-element pagodas to protect against the #5 Yellow Star of Misfortune, which brings illness, injury and death. For the 3 Killings of Love, Money and Reputation, there are the statues of the celestial guardians: Chi-Lin (Kei-Loon), Pi Yao and Fu Dog. There are also the Deities said to protect one from all sorts of troubles, from Buddha, Quan Yin, Jesus Christ, Archangel Michael, to Krishna, Kali, Shiva and others.


One can change the energetic atmosphere of the abode quickly by smudging with sage or ringing a 7-metals bell. Constant protection requires the ‘big guns’ like the 5-element HoTu pagoda, which can be found on my website and is the ‘mack-daddy’ of protection against that evil Star of Misfortune. When the #5 Star and the #2 Black Star of Illness are on the same axis (as in 2010), the danger is quadrupled, requiring much greater attention to such problems. The most dangerous time is when the yearly and monthly stars are in the same part of the grid; extra caution is necessary in such times.


The prudent person who really desires less of the roller-coaster ride in life might just want to consider feng shui as a means to greater enjoyment of that life. While most people seek out such practices to gain wealth, they are missing a very important law of energy: when you increase the intensity of positive energy, you also increase negative energy. Without the proper placement of the ‘cures’-protective devices-the intensity might just be enough to wipe out any benefits of the positive. For those who have “tried feng shui and it didn’t work”, it is suggested that they look into the Flying Star school of feng shui. For those who fear the addition of the ‘energy cures’ might ruin the aesthetics of their home décor, there is no need to worry. There can be hundreds of feng shui cures scattered throughout the home without anyone but a practitioner of the art noticing. After all, what is more important-the home décor or protecting health, wealth and happiness?

Come on, who would honestly say no to having more wealth in their life. I think it’s a given that all of us would really welcome having much more money at our disposal no matter how successful we consider ourselves to be. And at the present moment there are so many things on offer which claim to guide us towards increasing our wealth in various ways. But many of us don’t really feel open to learning lots of new skills. However the good news is that there is something that works beautifully without you having to do very much at all. And that’s to harness the flow of energy around your house in the good old Chinese style. So read on to find out how to use one million dollars to attract more wealth into your life.


Now you may think that this is a bit of a contradiction, however when you have finished reading this article, all will be clear to you and I’m sure you’ll agree with me that what has worked for the Chinese for centuries will surely work for you and me, too. The bottom line of this is that feng shui has an effect whether you do a little or a lot to help it along.


Okay, so let’s just take a moment or two to talk about what feng shui actually is. It literally means ‘wind and water’ and is the ancient Chinese art of harnessing the energy flow within your home or work space for maximum harmony which leads to enhanced well-being. A room is divided up into eight segments, each one representing a main area of your life. The ‘bagua’ is a special diagram that shows these areas and is shaped like an octogram (an 8-sided shape).


The areas of your life we are referring to here are: career, knowledge and education, family and health, finances and welfare, fame and recognition, marriage and relationships, children and creativity, mentors and networking. And feng shui teaches that if you have problems in any of these areas, you place an object or use colours in that space that will clear the blockage and allow the energy to blossom.


Okay, now back to the finances. What would be a great way to energise the finance corner of your home? A traditional way of doing this in China is to use images of money itself to enhance this area of your life. So if you want to attract large amounts of money and you live in the western hemisphere, a great way to do this would be to hang up a picture of money in any form, perhaps bank notes or a cascade of golden coins, or anything that excites your mind around the topic of riches. You might also think of placing some gold coloured coins there, a wad of Monopoly money or any other physical object that represents wealth in your mind. The colour red is very auspicious in China and linked with wealth together with the colour gold.


But just take this thought one step further. What if you wanted to attract one million dollars into your life? How would you go about doing this along feng shui principles? What better than to use a vibrant image of exactly that sum – a one million dollar painting. A picture representing this amount of money hanging in the area of your home that is associated with your finances can have a huge impact. It’s important to hang something that aesthetically pleases you as you have to live with this image in your home on a daily basis. Although there are no magical guarantees, I think you’d be really surprised to see what effect this has on your life when you bring focus and intention to increasing your wealth.


The south-east is where you want to hang it but if you get hold of a bagua diagram, that will give you more indication of what to do.


Now I can tell you all of this and how it works, but it’s only really personal experience that counts. We all have to try these things out for ourselves and see what brings the best results. Go on, activate your finances corner and see what happens.


If you’d like to see what creative, artistic solution I came up with for our finances corner, why not have a look at my website and see what you think. I’m sure you’ll love it as much as we do.

What is Chi? Feng Shui

One question which bugs me is…. what is chi?


It’s been bugging me for about a decade and fathoming its depths can be a lifelong study. And damn frustrating and exasperating. OK, I could just jump into the books and accept what had been written about chi energy. That will get me by but do I really understand what it represents?


To me, chi is life. The ancient Chinese described it as “life-force” and for good reason. Chi permeates everything and links the parts of our surroundings together. The Tai Chi practitioner and Acupuncturist understand chi energy. They likened it to the flow of energy around and through the body, linking each part forming a cohesive and functioning unit. By understanding its rhythm and flow they can guide exercises and treatments to give us stability and longevity.


Both good aims and no doubt chi moves through our surroundings in much the same way, a conduit to thread energy along and direct to wherever it belongs. Chi takes many forms and energy is present in everything.


If we accept that scenario, chi takes on a new meaning. Suggesting we can understand, guide and harness it to create places and surroundings of beneficial chi flow where it can accumulate and be absorbed by ourselves and any other creature who comes into its presence. We can strengthen its weaknesses and build places where it is comfortable. Wow, now that is something worthwhile. Why not choose the garden as a potential source of chi flow and accumulation?


One thing I find searching for the secret life of chi is chi is present in all things and expressed in the energy each omits and receives. Even a humble stone has chi energy but accepting a stone has chi can become rather complicated. A stone receives energy in its making and is retained, released gradually as it changes from one form to another. You can feel its energy but a stone is something of stability and certainty, a base for life to begin and be preserved. There’s something very Yin in a stone.


Life to me is more simplified and expressed in the movement of birds and insects, the branches of a tree rustling in a breeze or the waves rolling into the shore at my feet. We are accompanied by chi and its presence obscure until our ”chi eyes” develop and view our surroundings as compositions of all things.


Nature present and provider and we passengers in time and there not to abuse and plunder as we seem to specialise in but as beings able to observe, accept and encourage interaction between all things.


Chi remains that mysterious being, and that’s probably best. Maybe it should keep some of its secrets from us human beings and instead we just taking a little part of it for our sustenance, pleasure and enjoyment.

Do you know that Feng Shui is not a religious practice. It is in fact a system of controlling and harnessing the energy flow in the environment so that this energy will affect you positively such that you live in a harmonious and healthier life.


When I first started learning about this Chinese system, I was confused and shall I say a bit skeptical. How come just by arranging the furniture it affects your mind? Is it a sort of Chinese astrology or maybe it has something to do with I Ching? Well it is totally different from these two.


Like Chinese astrology, to perform Feng Shui you need special tools and the standard ones would be the compass and the bagua. The bagua is a kind of map or chart that relates various areas of your life in the 8 divisions within your living space. Through this bagua chart including a compass you could figure out how to emphasize as well as energize the areas within your office or home that require immediate attention so that they can be enhanced by Feng Shui practice.


Typically for the ancient Chinese, Feng Shui appeared to be mystical. However modern science can explain the effects of this Chinese practice via quantum physics. Let me show you one of the main scientific discoveries with regards to Feng Shui:


It was shown that our mind can be altered from an attentive state (beta) to a meditative state (alpha) simply by entering a space (room) that has been applied Feng Shui to it. In simple term it means that your chaotic beta brain waves transform to meditative alpha waves when you enter a good Feng Shui room.


Skeptical about it? Your brain waves changes for the better just by walking into a room. Let’s see what’s happened.


Researchers hooked someone to a mobile EEG device. They then brought him into a room without any Feng Shui applied to it. They discovered that his brain waves were around beta state. Next Feng Shui was applied to the same room simply by rearranging the furniture. But this time whenever he was brought to the room his brain waves instantaneously changed to alpha state. They were surprised to discover the sudden switch to a trance-like alpha state while he was in this particular room. How could this be?


So what makes the person’s brain waves switch from one state to another? The quick answer is the energy flow. The positive energy flows within the room affects the person mind and his brain and this changes his brain wave frequencies.


This energy also known as chi would flow freely coming in from one window and departing over the other window and its flow will be only stopped by something that stands on its way. For that reason rearranging furniture in the correct way along with removing any clutter would certainly improve this flow.


You must always ensure that your room in your house where you spend most of your time has a good energy flow. Studies have demonstrated that one of several ways to get into the alpha state is to be in an area with good Feng Shui; because your brain will automatically produce a lot more alpha waves. Therefore if you are considering of meditating then ensure that your room meets this condition.


There are many ways you can learn about this mysterious Chinese system of furniture arrangement. If you are curious about it then the quickest way is to google and visit the relevant sites. Maybe you need a Chinese friend to explain all the Chinese terms related to it. I am certain your quality of life such as your health, wealth and prosperity will significantly improve by applying this Chinese practice to your home.

Home style that commonly used in Asia is very interesting. In China, there are some rules of the culture in creating interior design with the purpose of capturing the beneficial Qi and protecting it from negative energy. According to the feng shui master, this culture is created because the ancient people would look for a sheltered spot where the wind was not too harsh for their settlement.


Feng shui can be adapted to the modern home without regardless to the rule. The first tips on feng shui are you need to keep the door and pathways unblocked. The purpose is the Qi hoped to flow into your home.


During the day, the doors and windows would be good to be opened in order to let the fresh air in and let it circulates. You will also be suggested to have some indoors plants, but not too many. And then keep your home clean and tidy because it will bring comfort to all family members.


Next rule is about the bedroom, it needs much feng shui touch because the importance of this room is for relaxation. The first thing to make the bedroom as a relaxing place, you need comfortable furniture in proportion to the room. It is not good have too many furniture in small room either as if you have little things in a huge room.


It is important not to use too many round or circular shapes because it denotes motion. In the other hand you can choose furniture with square and rectangular shapes because it will give sense of stillness. However, the feng shui rule said that placing television in your bedroom is not good because you can see your own reflection while lying in bed.


When we go for interior design living room, you can arrange for furniture so people can sit around together. But still you must arrange for space to move within the room. Generally interior design for this place consists of sofa, coffee table and TV but it would be nice if you put soft fabric and soft cushions because it will make relax.


It is also recommended to have some sort of nice metal sound. You can post a chinning clock, the sound of piano, even recorded piano music. According to the feng shui, these arrangements can help to keep Qi clean and clear.

In home decorating circles, feng shui design has become a popular way to style a room. Feng shui involves properly utilizing the space in a room in order to maintain good chi, or energy. There are certain things that a homeowner must or must not do in order to have the right feng shui in the room. The following interior decorating tips will help you maintain good chi in your home.

Include Color in the Room
If you want to promote good energy in a room, there are certain colors that are recommended in feng shui decorating. All of the colors stand for different things. For instance, the color red stands for good luck, which is why red is such a popular color in feng shui design. If you want a fresh and peaceful look, decorate with green. Use yellow if you’re looking for another good luck color.

None of the colors used in feng shui should ever be distracting or unappealing to the homeowner. Instead, use colors that have a comfortable feel to them.

Keep the Room Simple
In feng shui design, you never want an overly crowded space that’s full of stuff. Instead, the room should be kept very simple. You just want to include basic wood furniture and a few accessories. The room should never be cramped, and a crowded space will only offer negative energy to the room.

You can start out with some basics, maybe at first one piece of furniture and then you add another  such as a wood dresser. Then slowly add a few more items as needed. You want to be sure you don’t go overboard on the accessories or décor items.

Use Natural Materials
If you are practicing feng shui, then remember to use natural materials for the room whenever possible. The negative chi that can be found with artificial products can be kept away with natural materials such as bamboo, hemp, and organic fabrics. A great way to incorporate the feng shui practice into a room is with a bamboo wood floor or an organic cotton slipcover over the couch.

Decorate with Plants
Decorating with plants will give you a room with good chi. As living objects that help the environment, plants make a wonderful addition to any feng shui room.

You can use all different types of plants in your home to help you achieve a unique look in each room. In one room, a small potted plant might be just the thing. But in another room might call for a large standing tree in the corner. No matter what kind of plant you choose, it will make a great addition to any feng shui room.

Decorate and Design According to the Bagua
A bagua is the energy map for a particular room. Those who are really serious about decorating with feng shui need to follow this bagua specifically according to the shape and size of the room. After all, a long dining room isn’t going to have the same energy map as, say, a small kitchen. Once you use the bagua to determine the life areas, you can then start decorating your various rooms using feng shui.

Feng shui decorating has seen a rapid increase in popularity in recent years. Thus, these days feng shui is known more as a design style rather than a philosophy. If you want to get some positive chi into your home, then learn more about this practice and embrace the feng shui life in your home.
