Fengshui and Clocks

Knowing the time and adjusting the pace accordingly is part of our everyday routine. The following some fengshui tips of how to display a clock in your space

Clock and Bedroom

Avoid displaying a big clock in your bedroom. Keep the clock as far as possible away from you while you sleep as bedrooms are places for relaxation. If you really need a clock, my suggestion to you is to have a small alarm clock in your room. Remember keep the alarm clock at least 3 feet from your bed.

Clock and Dining Room

For the same reason, keep the clock out of the dining room. If you need a relaxed and good conversation during your meals, a clock will just emphasis the time ticking by and may bring tension and stress to you and family members.

Clock and your House Entrance

Never display the clock at the entrance or the east area of your house. In Mandarin we pronounce clock as “zhong” which has the same pronunciation another Chinese word “zhong” which has the meaning of the end. A home or the east direction should be a place for hopes.

Good Rooms for Clocks

Clocks were a prefect idea for movement and energy, for this reason it is best to place them in the areas with a lot of activity, such as:
.the living room
.the kitchen or
.home office.

Having a clock in these spaces is actually good for Fengshui, because it helps us understand the notion and the passing of time.

Remove Broken Clocks

Finally never keep your broken clocks at home. Anything broken things in your house is bad for Fengshui !

Fengshui and Your Car

Fengshui focuses on space and the arrangement of space to impact relationships, health and prosperity. We too can uses Fengshui principles to achieve a healthy and harmonious space in our car. There are few points i hope my readers can take note of the following if they own a car.

1. Clean your car regularly. In Fengshui we believe, if the is car dirty, it may weaken the life force of the driver.
2. Drink enough water daily so that you can flush out negative energy that is created in your car by the wireless connections.
3. Play music during your drive. It helps to get rid of any lingering negative energy and clear the space in your car.
4. Tie a red ribbon to your rear view mirror to represent fire and a clear headed state of mind. It helps to enhance your traffic awareness.
5. Clean your windows to allow positive energy from entering to your car.
6. Scatter some sea salt on the car floor carpets to absorb negative energy from passengers. Remember to swept the salt out from when you clean your car as the salt may contain negative energy of your passengers.

Birds and Fengshui

Birds are one of the most popular images or displays in Fengshui decorating. It helps to promote positive relationships such as friendships, romance, and marriage. Ducks, cranes, peacocks, pheasants, and love birds are all animals that help in the romance department. Below is the description of the some most popular bird symbols as used in Fengshui applications.

Phoenix

The mythical Phoenix is a famous bird in Fengshui, and it is often paired with the Dragon as a Fengshui symbol of harmonious relationships and marital happiness. The Phoenix symbolizes the energy of great strength; resilience and transformation, as it is able to rise form its own ashes to reach greater heights. A pair of Phoenix bird figurines or other Phoenix artwork placed in the southern area of your living room will keep relationships firmly cemented together.

Mandarin Ducks

Fengshui and traditional Chinese believe Mandarin Ducks is a symbol for love and romance. As the birds mate for life, the Mandarin ducks came to symbolize devotion, fidelity and lifelong affection in the matters of the heart. Keep a pair of Mandarin ducks on display in your bedroom to strengthen your marriage.

Peacocks

Peacocks are known for being loyal and faithful to their partners. Male Peacocks are uses their splendid feathers to attracting the opposite sex. Add more passion to your relationships by using peacock figurines or peacock artwork in the southern regions at your space. Mesmerizing colors and the "thousand eyes" on the peacock feathers at its tail also helps to promote fame luck in Fengshui, as well as enhance one's protection and awareness.

Cranes

In ancient Chinese legends, cranes have the ability to bring the energy of a long, noble and peaceful life to human. The crane came to symbolize longevity. Place crane in your health, area or anywhere that is prominent so that you will 'get' strong health 'chi' every time you cast your eyes upon them. Your can place the artwork in the living room.

Rooster
Fengshui rooster can help you to have a faithful partner. The bird guards against outsiders intruding upon a relationship and prevents affairs. You can keep your romantic competition away by placing the golden rooster artwork facing the main door.

Owls

An owl indicates wisdom luck and scholastic opportunities. Place the artwork in the living room will benefit your children.

Fengshui for Your Aquarium

In Fengshui and for the Chinese traditions, the fish is a symbolic creature which represents abundance and wealth. Having fishes in the living room is a good way of helping abundance and provisions to be always present in the house. The following is a few points that we should take note when having an aquarium in our home.

. Keeping a clean aquarium with fishes brings wealth when placed correctly in the wealth sectors of your home. If your fishes live in an aquarium which has murky or green water, they will look tired and that is extremely bad to the Fengshui of your home.

. Choose bright and energetic fishes as your pets, so that you can stimulate positive energy from them

. From a Fengshui perspective, numbers take significance from the way numbers “sound” in Chinese have symbolic connotations. Generally for keeping fish, I suggest that a good numbers of fish are 3, 6, 8 and 9. Try a combination of 8 gold ones and 1 black one; you can feel the positive energy from your pets at no time. Gold will attract the good luck and the bad luck will be taken by the black fish.

. The ancient founding father of Fengshui Kuo Po believes “Chi is dispersed by the wind and gathers by the boundaries of water”. Water has this ability to allow Chi to collect and settle. That is why I always recommend my readers, beside to position their aquarium or pond in wealth sectors, they too can locate it to the section of the house where good Chi resides.

· The surroundings or external environment also play an important role in determining if you should have any water in that sector. Avoid having water at the areas where negative structures are emitting bad energies or "sha chi”.

· Finally never place an aquarium in your bedroom, or in your kitchen, as this may brings unwanted Fengshui energies to these two areas.

Pets and Fengshui

1. NEVER ALLOWS PETS ON YOUR’S FURNITURE unless this furniture specifically for them or this will results them on equal footing with its owner.

2. ANIMALS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE BED, particularly for married couples. The animals will divides the couple and gets in the way of romance. My suggestion to this is don’t allow your pets from coming into to your bedroom. If you choose to allow has pets in your room, never allow them to sleep on the bed.

3. TOILET TRAINS YOUR PETS. Please remember, let’s pet to enhance your home but not dominate it. If your doggy litter box is the first thing you see or smell when you enter your home, it is a problem .The chi in your house will be affected. As a Fengshui master, I always notice the occupant (s) with such problem is usually struggling.

4. KEEP YOUR PETS HEALTHY. The animals will generate positive energy in your home, when it is in good health and happiness.

5. YOUR PET FEEDING PLATES SHOULD BE PRETTY AND COLORFUL. This can create an especially happy pet eating area. Pets eating area should also be a protected space -- a corner out of the path of humans

6. CLEANLINESS IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF FENGSHUI. Pets should feel safe, secure and clean in the areas where they eat or sleep before they can generate positive chi for you.

Myths about Fengshui

Just like many other subjects, Fengshui ranges from mere common sense to certain aspects that might stretch even the greatest fan's credulity. As a Fengshui practitioner, we have to weed out the myths and superstition. It is important to understand the subject and always refer back to the key concepts that make sense to us.

Myth#1

Has any master ever tell you, your house need have the five basic elements– fire, earth, metal, water, and wood; if your space miss certain Fengshui element’s , it is consider to has a bad Fengshui. To extend, you may miss something in life due to that. This is supposing that you’re not planning to remodel or do any new construction. If you are, you can plan it all in advance and perhaps not even need all of these five. A good Fengshui Master is able to incorporate the correction without anybody noticing, but the benefits will affect the occupants subtly and efficiently.

Myth#2

Does a mirror attract good energy and reflect away bad luck? The answer from me is “No”; mirrors aren’t that smart to know which energy you’d like to attract and which you’d like to reject. This myth comes from the old days when mirrors were solid heavy pieces of polished metal (usually copper). Back in those days the Fengshui Master place a mirror as a correction not due to it’s the reflectivity but rather the metal element of the mirror. Obviously, many Fengshui Masters nowadays wouldn’t know this.

Myth#3
Many Fengshui lovers believe that Fengshui is a magical formula to make ones rich, healthy and popular. But in actual fact, Fengshui can only help you to harness the positive energies in your environment. To create wealth, health and relationship still lays on your effort.

Myth#4

Has you ever wonder, is it truth we need to look for certain direction or good Fengshui place before we buy a house? My answer to this is simple, the Fengshui of most places are simply mixed and affects people differently depending on their birth dates. You can rarely find any place or location on earth, that really good or bad Fengshui.

Myth#5

Many Fengshui lovers believe that leaving the toilet seat up will flush away your money. Obviously, leaving the toilet seat up will not physically flush away your wealth. But if every time you leave the bathroom you return back later to double check the toilet seat, you are actually entering the realms of superstition and worry. Worry is a mental process that actually stops the flow of energy. Trust me - if an idea frightens you or causes concern - then it is obviously not being presented properly.

Myth#6

Many readers love to ask this question, it is true that we need to believe in Fengshui for it to work? My answer is “No”. Having positive thinking is always a good thing but it is not important in Fengshui. Fengshui works even if you don't believe it will.

Love and Fengshui

Fengshui wisdom offers a variety of cures to improve your love life. Fengshui practitioners believe that the best way to attract love is to adjust your environment accordingly. The following is some tips of how Fengshui can nourish your love life in an ancient way.

1.In Fengshui pink is a preferred colour for romance. Other powerful colours for love are red and white. These colours could be used in bed linen, flowers, clothing etc.

2.By placing a Chinese painting of Peony flowers in the living room, you will help your daughters find ideal suitors.

3. Light up the Southwest direction of bedrooms with red lights, this will enhance the chances of the singles in your house to find love soon.

4.Use Citrine, Amethyst or Rose quartz crystals for activating your romance luck. Place or arrange them either in the Southwest corner of your bedroom or your “Tao Hua” (Romance) position.

5.Avoid keeping dried flowers in your house. Only fresh flowers generate good energy to your love life!

6.Avoid having mirrors in your bedrooms as it will further destroy the chances of love. Mirror reflects another person between two people. To married couple, it may lead to an extra marital affair.

7.Have love symbols such as hearts, flames and flower petals enhance your chances of falling into love.

8.Scents, candles, romantic paintings and soft furnishings are ideal for this spot because they will help you attract love into your life.

9.Keep your bed away from the wall; by pushing your bed against the wall may crowds out any chance for your life partner from entering to your life.

10.Do not hang picture of one person in the bedroom or relationship area of your home unless you wish to be on your own and remain single.

Fengshui and Windows

1)Windows should best be relatively tall and wide (e.g. full length window) to provide for the most generous flow of both fresh air and vital Qi.

2)Daylight from the windows can be very uplifting and inspiring but try to avoid positioning your desk so that you are looking directly out of the window. You may find yourself being constantly distracted.

3)Beds shouldn't be put too close to windows because beams of light would directly affect the quality of sleep.

4)Use good windows coverings, including heavy draperies/curtains, if you have limited space in your room. It will help to create a feeling of a solid wall behind you especially at night.

5)Too many windows allow energy to leak out; you can crystals in the windows this help to contain the energy flowing out.

6)In Fengshui, windows that open inwards will have adverse effects on health, finance and career.

7)On other hand, if the windows are able to open outwards fully. It is believed, brings good fortune and enhanced opportunities to the occupants.

8)Blinds and curtain rings should be of natural material. The most beneficial is wood. Avoid plastic!

9)Curtains should be large enough to cover the window and long enough to reach the floor.

10)Choose your curtain fabrics and colors at your personal taste and instinct. This will add some positive Chi energy and enable you to have a perfect house.

11)In ancient China, wooden gates, doors and windows were not only for entrance, exit, light and ventilation. They were also emblems of a family’s status and power. Therefore always keeps your windows clean.

The Relationship between Fengshui and the Main Door of your house

1)The toilets of our house should not face the main door.

2)Keep our main door clutter-free (both from inside as well as from outside) as good energy enters through the main door. Keep this place clean.

3)Your Furniture should not hinder the easy opening of the main door.

4)Do not hang any mirror facing the main door as it reflects back the good energy.

5)The Fengshui of the house will be affected if an elevator is located opposite your main door. Place a convex mirror above the door outside the apartment to deflect the negative influence, this helps to eliminate its adverse effects

6)Choose the color of the main door according to the direction in which door is facing.

Lightings and Fengshui

Perfect lighting layout and good quality air are the very basics of good Fengshui. Lightings help to enhance the chi energy in a house. Therefore it should always be on top of our Fengshui priorities for any space. Some of my suggestions on using of lightings were as follows;

.Soften sharp corners of a room using accent lighting. This not only increases the energy (Chi) flow but also help to create a relaxed atmosphere.

.Do not place a chair under the Chandeliers. In fact it is unsafe for any person to sit directly below a hanging object.

.Instead of using one bright light in a room, use two or more softer lights to create a warm general glow and positive room energy.

.Create a yang environment for your living room. The yang quality is embodied by the activity and brightness, which are ideal for a family or entertaining. We too can place a red lamp shades in a living room bring fame!

.Use lights are to transform dark corners or to illuminate heavy beams; this can lessen their negative chi effect.

Having insufficient lighting in your home is considered bad Fengshui as it will create an impact on our health and well-being. Good lightings not only enhance the Fengshui of your house but also helps to keep your normal bodily rhythms in synchronicity.

Crystals

Most Crystals absorb negative energy and bring positive energy into its space. Oftentimes, crystals are used in correlation with Fengshui, especially to help correct areas where imbalance may occur due to the building’s design. The following is a few ways of how we can benefits from using of crystals in our home or work space.

·If your child has trouble focusing/concentrating and tends to easily get overexcited, place several pieces of hematite in your child's room, or in the West Fengshui area of your home. The grounding quality energy of the crystals will help your child to cool down.

.Hanging faceted crystal is one of the most popular and widely used Fengshui cures. Hung in the windows, doorways and passageways of your environment they are masters at slowing down 'shar chi' (negative energy).

.Round, faceted crystal ball are one of Fengshui great cures for the adjustment of Chi, and are used to energize an area or to energetically expand an area that is cramped and uncomfortable

.As the Southeast sector governs wealth and luck. You can place a clear crystal ball in the Southeast sector of living rooms or office to bring in more sales and achieve more monetary gains and successes.

.Display a crystal ball in the Northwest to increase money luck and opportunities from helpful people in your business pursuits or career.

.Place a clear crystal ball on your work desk. It will help you to make excellent decision and accelerate your career.

.You can place a clear crystal ball inside your house opposite the main door to neutralize and nourish any negative energy from entering to your home

Just some points to take note. After you buy your crystals soak it in the sea salt water for 7 days and nights to wash off any negative energy. It is also recommended that you do this a few times a year as crystals absorb negative energy from your space. Sea salt can purchase from any health food store.

Gerbera Daisy

Like I said earlier, there is an important and positive connection between Fengshui and plants. Type, color and placement of a plant play a vital role in the Fengshui of your home or office space. Having plants in at your home not only physically sustains life, but symbolically narrow down the gap between us and the Mother Nature.

One of my suggestions for plants to Fengshui is Gerbera Daisy. This is because the plant comes in a wide variety of colors, such as red, ivory, yellow, magenta, orange, pink, and coral. As a Fengshui master, I can easily match this plant to difference Fengshui directions need.

I always suggest to my readers that they can plant red or yellow Gerbera Daisy at both side of the main door (regardless of Fengshui directions); the plants can help to bring you good luck and good fortune to your home.

Beside improving the Fengshui of your house , plants also help to cleanse your space naturally. Experiments have proven that certain plants help to purify toxins and pollutants from its surroundings. They are an amazing natural healing remedy for allergies that are caused by pollutants and toxins.

Camellias

As most of us live in a HDB unit, therefore we can only have containerized plants’ for our Fengshui. Small shrubs, such a camellias and junipers are good choice of plants that look great in containers.

Plant dark purple or blue Camellias in the north direction, it can help you to boost yours’ career. In Fenshui, NORTH corner governs career prospects. This direction represents the water element, thus it is the ideal place to put a fountain or pool. We too can add fish to it and double our luck.

SOUTH corner governs fame, success and public recognition. It is known as ‘Bright Hall’in Fenshui. In this direction we can have flowers and shrubs that are red, orange and bright yellow in color. In order to strengthen camellias effects on Fenshui , the location that the plant are should be well lit with garden lights or lantern .

Peace Lily

Plants have their special flow of chi energy and create a fresher atmosphere and help to compensate for the dead materials found in the home, such as plastic and synthetic substances. Place plants by electrical appliances to counteract the detrimental chi energy given off by the appliance.

In Fengshui, we believe that Peace Lily have the capability of “calming” and harmonizing the energy of the house. Their pointed leaf generates more yang and help to move chi energy more quickly; this is why the plant are able to deals with the energetic legacy of discord and strife that has occurred within the walls of the house in the past, which has left an energetic imprint. Peace Lily balances and releases this “battle energy”, bringing a sense of peace and harmony.

Peace Lily not only improves Fengshui aspects of your home and office reduces the levels of EMFs.

Lucky Bamboo

Dracaena or Lucky Bamboo is tough and resilient which does not require much of the direct sun light and can even grow in the place like bathroom where sun light is unable to reach. The Bamboo not only represents good luck, it also adds a beautiful exotic aesthetic to your home décor, and can help balance the energy to your home. In the view of Fengshui, Dracaena too helps to create a space where you feel safe and more energized to meet the demands of today's high-pressured world.

Greenery around your house represents health, vitality and growth. All the plants must be healthy and colorful, to create a pleasant atmosphere; remove all the dead and rotten plants that are present around your house. Plants have the capacity to alter moods and depending on the kind of plants you have around you, your mood will fluctuate accordingly.

In my following blogs, I will introduce more Fengshui related plants to my readers !
