| 1997 Feng Shui Questions and Answers |
October/November 1997
When we enter through the front door you can see the back patio door and whole backyard. They are not in a straight line. We are having financial problems.
Put draperies or binds on the window and keep them closed when people enter the front door. Also, place something that grabs peoples attention and eye as they enter the front door so they do not immediately look out the back.
I have read Interior Design with Feng Shui by Sarah Rossback and Feng Shui book of cures by Nancilee Wydra. I have found a conflict with the information presented in the two, in Rossback's between pages 100 and 101 picture number 11 shows a well placed bed with two mirrors above. In Wydra's book page 225 says it is a problem to have a double bed against two walls and the only thing mentioned in the way of a cure is to move the bed or buy a smaller bed. My bed is positioned similar to the one n Rossbach's book, the problem is, the frame of the bed is built into the foundation of the room. I would literally have to do serious construction to move it. Could you please explain the difference found in the two books and is there any cure that would prevent hurting the other person's chi?
Both schools are right. Go with what is your gut instinct. It will work. Low energy people are enhanced by being in the corner and high energy people are over worked in the corner. The cure is to make the bed a four poster to hold your field.
I am hoping you can advise me about my neighbors, who are very aggressive: They keep trying to claim part of my property as theirs, involving me with surveyors and lawyers, they call the code enforcement agency on me frequently because they dislike my compost pile, my wildlife gardens, etc. In researching the property , I discovered that nearly 100 years ago, their lot was part of mine (my lit is still much bigger -- theirs is a slender slice, located in the relationship corner that is now "missing" from my lot). I am so tired of bickering and anger. Is there any Feng Shui remedy for this problem? P.S. Although his lot is small in comparison to mine, it sits at a higher elevation. Also, my house is larger than his. Although we share two property lines in back, our front doors are on different streets.
Write your relationship goals as you would like this problem to resolve and put them in a red envelope in your relationship corner and that is what will happen.
I am and Aries with a Virgo moon and Leo or cancer rising. The question is what color should I paint my bedroom.
Any shade of Blues.
My husband and I just bought a new house and we are wondering if the location of the house is right? It is located at the NE area and the front is facing north and the back is facing south. Inside the color of the walls and carpet are neutral is that good?
The direction the house is facing is not the best. The house front door is thought best if facing south. It is good that your house is located in the N. The colors are fine.
We have a huge tree in front of our house door. A footpath is running directly parallel to the front of our Townhouse and the entrance goes off this footpath. We always wonder if it takes opportunities away, protects us too much from the rest of the world. Can you give us any advise?
The tree in front of the door protects the house. Straight paths to the entrance are not ideal Feng Shui.
We share our house with an Asian family next door, which has just brutally broken off some young trees along our footpath which were beside the big tree (to have access via the garden bed to their car space). We are most upset about it and wonder how we can improve the Feng Shui . So far we have not include their part of the house in our Feng Shui. We do feel very uneasy to speak to them. It needs to be done in a way that they are not aware of it. We would really love to get some advise.
Write your relationship goals about them as if they are already done and put them in your relationship corner.
I have come across a book that says that it is not good to have dried flowers and leaves because they are dead and has to much yin. Artificial plants would be alright. But I notice that some artificial plants have real trucks, stems and branches. Also in this case, will there be any side effect on Feng Shui as we know that the stem, truck and branches are no loner alive.
Your higher self will recognize the artificial tree with real trucks and stems and branches as real. This will enhance your space.
I have a pendulum clock, sometimes I wonder if it has any effect on Feng Shui.
The pendulum clock goes back and forth balancing itself.
Chinese believe that the fan has some use for Feng Shui. Is it true? What is it used for if so?
An electric fan should never be used over a bed. A hand fan can be used on walls and overhangs in the house. Open them up and hang them. They will enhance the chi. An electric fan can send Sha out into the room making the room occupants weak.
I am wondering about mirrors directly opposite (or facing) an outside door or window? What are the effects?
Mirrors facing a door will reflect Sha away from the home. A mirror facing a window can bring a body of water that is in sight into the house. Mirrors facing each other negate each other.
How can I attract financial success, we heard wooden wind chimes are good to have around.
Build up your money corner with energy such as plants, lights, a round open bowl will do for a start.
I have been involved in a very rewarding relationship for the past two months. All of a sudden it has almost halted without reason. A friend introduced me to Feng Shui and as of today I have done the main relationship corner of my house as well as the respective corner in my bedroom I have done the affirmation and placed it in a red envelope. How soon can I expect to see results?
It usually will take two new moons from the time you set an intention to see results.
I am very interested in Feng Shui and would like to incorporate it as a specialty in my design experience. Is there any specific training offered that you know of or experts that I may contact for assistance?
I do give classes and on Feng Shui and am available for consultations.
I read that it is not good to have a ceiling fan over your bed. We have one in the master bedroom and there is no other way to position the bed because the ceiling fan is in the center of the room. The Fan is over the lower half of our body when laying down.. Also, my address is 10111, if you add all the numbers it = 4, which is not a good number. What can I do?
You may put red dots on the top of the blades of the fan. Make sure it spins clockwise as you look down from the roof. The number 4 can be changed to 8 which is prosperity by adding a number four on the same surface as the address but not in line with it so not to confuse the mail person or visitors.
I am going through changes in employment, anything that you think I can do to sure up the proper areas?
Work on your career and prosperity lifestations.
Where is the best place to put an aquarium inside the house?
Near the entrance to your home.

Is it wise to put a fountain in the wealth corner of a room?
Yes, it will enhance the energy of that corner. Also, shine a light on the water to enhance it and build a strong magnetic field.
I had my house Feng Shui'd in January with a re-evaluation in July by a professional person. She seems knowledgeable and had very good ideas. How long does one wait for results? My finances have not improved, in fact seem worse and there is no change in career areas, that too seems worse. I have no water leaks, wealth areas seems to be enhanced but as I look at it now it seems dimly lit so I lit it up recently . The person said that two pictures in my helpful people areas seemed to be holding me back from getting out in the world. They were both pictures of doors where the door opens to the inside of the house. She said she had missed that detail back in January. The pictures have been moved to the inner wisdom areas of my house three seeks ago. I do a lot of work in my home, but getting out for advertising is important. She also says that Feng Shui is not a cause and effect thing. There must be intent behind the action, I certainly didn't have the intent of staying home when I put the doors up, not consciously. My wealth area has a purple wandering Jew plant in it , it is healthy. I have an antique stove that it sits on and the area is back lit now. I have not dome anything specific in the career area. It is the front door.
It will take two new moons from the time you set and intention. Properly setting the Feng Shui will ensure that your chi is good. However, you must set your intentions to direct the chi. Put a red envelop in the money corner with your goals written in the present tense and you will receive.
My home faces south and the entrance is a small hallway. There is a garage downstairs on the left, with two bedrooms and a small bathroom over the garage. This entrance is a wall on the left, a stairway and more wall. The entry has access to upstairs to the left, to the right is the living room and straight ahead is a pantry with a right entrance into the kitchen. The main home is all to the right of the entrance and oblong in shape. So I basically can't figure out how to begin the Ba- Qua. I thought I understood that I can base it on the fact that my whole home has a straight front, facing south. If I entered from the middle room (though there isn't really a door to do this) I could then work a Ba-Qua very clearly. It's having a wall on my left of the entrance that is throwing me off. Please assist me in getting started.
It does not mater where on the front wall of your home the door is located. The wealth corner will always be in your far left corner from where you enter and the relationship will always be in the far right corner regardless if the front door is to the left of the house or the right of the house.
Are there specific colors the enhance the Ba-Qua Lifestations?
The book Interior design with Feng Shui by Sarah Rossbach (page 126) calls out the specific colors for each lifestation, Also, Ted Andrews book How to heal with color has very good information on using color.
August/September 1997
I want to paint my bedroom. What colors do you suggest that will harmonize the room?
Please send more info such as shape of room and your astrology.
I have been reading a lot lately about the compass Feng Shui. Should I follow the compass directions of my home and fix it using Feng Shui applications, and/or should I use the compass directions in each one of the rooms. I'm kind of confused, I'm pretty new in this and I'm fascinated by it. I'm a very spiritual person, my feelings and surroundings are very important, together with the well being of my two sons and husband. We are moving to a new home (approx 2 month from now) and I'm planning to create a balance, harmony and prosperity in my environment. Please advise.
Use the compass for your home. Make it simple, no stress. Read the articles on our web site for more information on Feng Shui. If you want more detailed information consult with a Feng Shui Professional in your area.
I have had glorious results with Feng Shui, but am having trouble convincing my rather scientific minded friends of the phenomenal things that it brings....they say "Show Me The Data!" How can I convince them that they can tune in to a more positive and spiritual life enhancing (sex life!) by practicing this ancient art? Signed wife of scientific naysayer
The first step would be to get them to realize that Feng Shui or Geomancy have been used by World governments and successful businessmen. For example Lafayette the architect of Washington D.C. was a geomancer from Europe and used his knowledge in the deigns of Washington D.C. Donald Trump has also started using Feng Shui. Start with this.
When you come in our front door, to the left is a closet, the right French doors to the living room which is also at other end our eating area. As you come in the door, to the left also is a set of stairs to the downstairs bedrooms, in front down the hall is the kitchen. You don't see anything except the end of my island and counter. Once in the kitchen I have my stove fridge and sink in a triangle shape and to the right is the dining area. Is the wealth corner suppose to be there. There are garden doors from this room to the patio. What should I do for a wealth corner. Thank you.
The wealth corner is the far left corner of the house from your entry door.
I am an interior design student and also a home owner. My interest in Feng Shui began about a year ago. Since then I have read about 6 books and just now starting to understand a little. The think is, that what I read - esp. in the beginning, made me afraid. Don't put water in the back yard, don't have mirrors in your bedroom, don't do this, don't do that. Some of us have spent lots of money on homes and furniture which don't match up to the Feng Shui way. My husband, by hand, built a beautiful waterfall and we were ready to put in a pond. I read a book and stopped encouraging him. Now I understand a little more about diverting bad Feng Shui, but not enough yet. I hope to incorporate Feng Shui in my design business - when that comes about. I am endeavoring to learn more about it. My front door faces west and my back door faces south. The pond would be in the Southwest corner - it is set at an angle pointing toward the house. We already have a bathroom next to our bedroom - which we are converting to another closet and when we bought the house another bathroom was started (plumbing is already in) which is next to the bedroom. I don't want to abandon that. But the toilet is sitting on the wall next to where the bed sits. How do I fix that? I am very confused.
Feng Shui should be respected not feared. It is about bring harmony into your life not stress. Your question does not have enough details to respond.
If the entrance door to my second floor apartment is flush with the right side wall, does this mean that I am missing "helpful people/children/relationships" or that my door is in the "helpful people" corner? What is the remedy if missing? Almost the entire left wall of my bedroom is a closet. Does this mean that "new knowledge/health family/wealth" are "in the closet"? What's the remedy?
Your door is in the helpful people corner. Hang pictures on the wall or place a cork board to put affirmations on. Yes the new knowledge/health family/wealth are in the closet. Address these life stations in the closet just as you would anywhere else.
I noticed you mentioned that 8 was your favorite number and that it meant prosperity and that 4 and the color white meant death. Could you please tell me the meaning of the other numbers and colors?
1 is new beginnings. Two is separation. 3 means communication. 5 is change. 6 is spiritual help. 7 is hard spiritual lessons. 9 is completion. Red & black attract. Blue and white repel. Green means growth and pink calms.
We have had problems since we have moved into this house. We have financial problems. We have bathroom in our wealth corner and according to house bagua our wealth corner is in the bedroom and bathroom is attached and the whole corner is wealth area. living room wealth corner a wall heater, does that have any thing to do with our financial problems. The shape of our house is a "T". The projection is the workroom and garage.
Hang red tassels over the drains in your bathroom and keep the toilet lid down and flush the toilet with the lid down. Keep bathroom door shut at all time. The wall heater is good energy. Hang a picture of trees or plants next to it or above it. Behind that put a red envelope with your money affirmations as if they have already happened. Your financial problems will improve.
Last month (July) I asked what is to be done with the red envelopes after they've been answered. I didn't see an answer to my question in the "Wind and Water" post so I'm resubmitting. Do we burn them, bury them, throw them away? What is the appropriate "Feng Shui" way of dealing with "spent" red envelopes?
Revisit your affirmations and upgrade your goals. Burn the old ones.
I forgot to include the rest of the house. As you come in the front door, to the right is a closet, also the stairs that go downstairs. There is a hall to the kitchen and one that intersects it to the master bedroom. On the only wall of the hall is a bathroom, where we keep the door closed and the toilet set down. At the end is a laundry room and to the left is our bedroom which has a ensuite. Our bed is against the only wall that I can still see the door and it faces a full wall of mirrors which I have put red dots where the doors fold. The bathroom door is on the same line as our heads when laying down in the bed. Should that door be closed. Thank you for your help.
Yes, keep the door closed.
What are the 3 most important things I can do to my living space that would increase prosperity and abundance in my Life?
Put plants or any of the enhancing cures in all of your money corners. Shine light on the corners and clear all clutter our of these corners.
I am a cancer star; what is the best color to strengthen and enhance chi?
Begin with tangerine accents or earth tones.
Most Feng Shui books advise placement according to the location of your entranceway. Some advise compass direction. I live in a studio apartment that faces southeast, my door is red and it faces southwest. Would you recommend?
I would use the front door to set your house.
My son was in a severe car accident near Wilcox, AZ on July 27th. he's is a coma. Do you have any suggestions on what small things I can do in his room to help him?
Put pictures of him in the room showing him in perfect health. Burn candles to the pictures. Keep us updated.
In a three-floor house (all floors used by one family) the Baqua is placed on each floor oriented to the main floor of the house, regardless of where the stairs to the upper floors or basement may be located?
Yes.
Does a bed enhance or detriment the life corner in which it is placed?
Put the bed on a wealth away from the corner if possible.
July 1997There is a bathroom located in my wealth life station. Since I've moved into this apartment I've had a problem with making and holding onto money. Moving is not an option right now and I also cannot stop using this bathroom. Is there anything that I can do to help solve this problem?
Hang a red tassel over the toilet front the ceiling. Keep the lid down when the toilet is not in use. Flush toilet with lid down. Put a hanging plant, real or silk in the money corner. Keep bathroom door closed at all times.
I am married by the legal part with my husband but I would like very much to get married by the church but since my husband had been married by the church 20 years ago he needs to request a "divorce" which is a difficult thing to go thru and my husband has not done anything and I don't know what to do because he told me that yes he would like us to married by the church but he has done nothing, please help me, I already put a pair of nice ducks in our room, a peony flower, a red heart, red bows in the four legs of our bed etc, what else should I DO? But something really effective please, also I put a cinnabar in the relations door.
Add red to the corner. Put your affirmations as to what you want to happen in a red envelope. Write affirmations in the present tense. The put them in your relationship corner.
I recently found your site on Feng Shui. I copied the section involving the setting of affirmations etc. While writing my affirmations I became aware of a tingly sensation in my hands and lower arms. Is this as a result of paying more attention to my Chi? I have also had nothing but good thoughts since adding red dots to my furniture and electrical equipment. Can I expect this to last, I am rather enjoying it!
It sounds like you were really focused on your affirmations so the tingling sensation might be from that. You can expect your thoughts to keep there harmony as long as dots are up and you don't make changes.
I'd like to apply Feng Shui to my life:
- How can I use the Ba gua mirror and where should it be placed?
- My main door is on the extreme left of my apartment. That leaves nothing on the left side All the rooms and toilets are on right side, including living room and kitchen. Where is the wealth corner?
- How can I use mirrors and plants to enhance my life?
- How can I use Feng Shui to solve money problems and create abundance?
Place it over your front door facing out. It changes Sha to chi. The wealth corner is on the far left corner of the apartment. If this is not understandable send a diagram of your apartment. Put plants in all corners of the house. Read answers to other peoples questions on the web site. for ideas on how to use mirrors.
I live in an apartment which has been converted from a large house. The house number is 9 and the house faces North. There are only two flats and I live on the top floor. The main door faces North and the entrance into my area from the ground floor is through my door facing West. Immediately on opening the door there is a large window, which has curtains covering it, and is kept shut. From the door turn left, and upward via stairs is the main living area. Underneath the stairs, the ground floor occupant has a small toilet and bathroom. Going up the stairs there is a wall and to the right another large window. This wall is the wall of the toilet the entrance, of which faces the bedroom. How can I increase prosperity and improve relationship as both are suffering?
Put plants in your money corner and your relationship corners. Hang a heart in your relationship corner. Burn candles to both corners. Write affirmations in the present tense and put them in both the relationship and wealth corners.
I have enjoyed visiting your site. It is very informative. I have suffered financial losses in my business. The wealth & prosperity centers are located in a bedroom closet. I have hung two photos of waterfalls in the closet. Any suggestions to make major improvements would be very welcome. I would like to book an appointment .
Put plants in the money corner with waterfall pictures. Put affirmations with red envelope on money goals in the present tense. Call Wind & Water for appointment by leaving your phone # and I will call you to schedule and appointment.
The Northeast corner of my house is not a complete square. There is a small concrete patio there. I want to plant a tree as close as possible to the true corner of the house to square up the house. I am wondering if there are any guidelines to what type of tree to plant, as well as should it be a small or large tree. I want to plant a smaller tree and am leaning toward a small cherry tree.
A small tree, such as a cherry tree will work fine.
I am unsure how to apply the Ba Gua to our L shaped apartment. The short arm of the L falls in the Knowledge sector, if we consider the Knowledge sector extended. Alternatively, if we view the front door as opening onto the Yin/Yang and the apartment as missing the Career and Helpful People sectors, then we have an octagon compatible with the Ba Gua. How should we view this?
Put two mirror square opposite each other on the walls where the "L" appendage starts to jut out. This will make two different rooms. Then apply the BA-Qua to each of them.
In the master bedroom in my townhouse I have a door to the bathroom, which is in the prosperity section. At present I have a full length mirror on it. My financial and other prosperity has not been the best. Any other suggestions?
Keep the bathroom shut at all times. Keep the lid down at all times. Flush the toilet with the lid down. Put red dot on ceiling above the toilet.
On this web site you show us the diagram of the 8 physical life stations and how to determine where they are in your building. Could you use the same concept with an apartment? The wall with the front door being career, etc.?
Yes. Place the career side of the Ba-Qua at the front door.
I'm studying Feng Shui from 6 o 7 different books and am confused as there is conflicting advice on this issue. How is the Baqua place on an upper floor particularly if the staircase is against the wall and the stairs end at a small landing before, say, the back wall or a small bathroom. I've read that the "front door" would be considered as:
- direction when exiting the top step
- direction when standing at the top step looking down the staircase,
- because the stairs are against wall, that the wall would be considered the front door. I guess when you answer this, I'll also know by process of deduction how the basement placement works.
Use the front door on the main floor as your orientation point.
This past fall you did my home. I gave you a picture of my blue house, before the additions and color changes. We are now putting up the open beam across the "great room". Do I put dragons on both ends, no dragons, dragons on one side, etc. Also, we are looking for end tables for the great room. I found a pair of antique weathered grey wooden Fu Dogs that came from the Philippines and possibly a temple or home. I could cut the bases down about 2 inches and put glass on them. I like them, but would they be good Feng Shui?
Hang two flutes at 45 degrees angle on both ends of the beam. No Dragons. Have Dogs face each other and it will be fine. Nice hearing from you.
June 1997We seem to be on the verge of bankruptcy all the time. It is very close to us again. I don't feel confident in doing or making suggestions to my husband about changing things inside our house. I would, however, like to know if the outer arrangement of our house has anything to do with our financial problems? It is situated on a hill, L-shaped with a lot of trees in the back, and the back drops down. We are putting a water pool in the front and I have put another walk from the house through the front yard, which is made up of flagstones (we don't have any grass). The veranda has some square posts and when you walk into our house the first thing you see is a bathroom. I try to make everyone close the door but they don't always do it. Can I do something about that? I would like to do something to help change things for my husband. He is a very hard worker.
Putting the water pool in the front will help, especially if you shine light on the water. The other things you are doing will help. With the bathroom entrance you must keep the door shut at all times. Make sure the toilet lid is down when not in use, this is a must. The "L" shape of your house can be fixed by shining a light back at the house from the missing corner to square off the house.
My teenage son is a west group kun, but must live in a southeast bedroom, his "difficulties" area of our Chien house. What can I do in his bedroom to deal with the negative energy? The door and closet doors are in the northwest and west.
I would add plants real or silk to the corners of his room or hang pictures of nature near the corners. Also, hang a sun and moon in his room and keep the closet door shut when not in use.
What is the financial/economic (and other) effects of living in a valley where there are mountain ranges spanning from southeast to west? The southeast mountains are 1-2000 feet high, and intermediate in distance (several miles). The south mountains are highest (6-8000 feet) and farthest away (about 10 miles). The southwest/west mountains are nearest (about 1 mile away), and 2000 feet high. These noticeably block the sun in the afternoon and evening (especially when the sunpath is low during winter).
It is best to live in the north or east of the valley for prosperity. If the valley is located in the northern hemisphere, it can drain you to live in the south of the valley.
Thank you very much for the answer about the back wealth slanted door. You told me not to open it, but that is the only door connected to the hallway leading to the restroom. I have to open the door. The front door of the store faces the parking lot with an arrow of a row pointing at our front door, plus there are parking spaces in front of our store's porch. Between the arrow and the parking spaces, there is a perpendicular row. For ten years, we haven't made good money in this store.
Hang a Ba-Qua mirror (which you can order through this site) facing out over the front door to the parking lot. That should solve your problem.
What about exterior design? I'm in the process of designing a deck at the back of our house. The back of the house faces west and the back door opening is at the extreme right-hand side (facing out) along this west edge. The door opening is about 3 feet off the ground. I do not want to build your typical rectangular deck -- it just doesn't feel right. What do you suggest?
A half moon shaped desk will give you powerful energy while sitting on it. It will also send positive energy constantly into your house.
If a front door faces south (or any other direction), is the front considered north when entering it? In other words, is the entrance always considered north no matter which direction the entrance of the building is facing? Also, I assume this holds true when entering any other room -- the entrance of the room is always north?
When and only when your front door faces south are you entering from the south facing north. When you enter a room, the direction is whatever the door is facing. The BA-Qua shape or life stations are always oriented from the door.
I will be having some corrective facial cosmetic surgery in early August and would like to know if there is anything in Feng Shui to ensure a successful outcome and a faster healing time?
You should have an astrologer check to see if this is a good time for your surgery. Also, put a red envelope on your family wall. Put an affirmation in the envelope thanking the universe for having had such a successful surgery and fast recovery.
The street address of our new home adds up to 3. Our apartment number also adds up to 3. What does this mean? Is there something we should do because of this?
It means communications and is fine. It also represents the trinity.
My house directly faces a cemetery. What effect does this have on me and what can I do about it? I might add that it is a lovely cemetery where people are allowed to plant flowers, bushes & trees. My house number is 1313 and my house faces the east.
The Chinese will not live within 5 miles of a cemetery. It is a very negative situation. You can put up a Ba-Qua Mirror to reflect away the Sha. I would sell my house and move as soon as possible. The address, however, is very good. It means prosperity.
You say the life stations are determined by the location of the front door. However, I have read several Feng Shui books that say they are determined by the direction on the compass. According to you, my relationship corner would be in the far right corner of my home, but according to the compass, it is in the southwest corner. How do I know which method is accurate?
The method I recommend has worked for me with wonderful results for over 40 years. Try it and see if it works for you. I feel sure it will. The Hawaiians say, "if it works, its 'Huna'."
Is Feng Shui of Asian origin? Do you advise people in California about their home decor? We are of Italian extraction and we are wondering how Feng Shui would coordinate with Mediterranean decor?
Yes, Feng Shui is of Asia origin, taught to Asian masters by immortals. Yes, I do advise several people in California on the home decor. You may email me for an appointment.
I do not have a specific question about Feng Shui to ask you, but I do have a question. I am very interested in learning the art of Feng Shui and was wondering what the best way to do this is? I am also extremely interested in studying Shamanism and other spiritual arts. Do you have any advice or guidance for me?
You can start by reading the books recommend on this site. I teach Shamanism & Feng Shui, so keep an eye on our Web site for announcements of future classes.
May 1997
I am a student of architecture at LSU. My assignment is to design a meditation space and I want to incorporate Feng Shui. I am interested in any information you can send my way.
You want a very simple room, sound proof if possible, in a part of the house or building with the least distractions. It should also be well ventilated and have plants. There should also be a focus point in the room.
I have a question. I have two bedrooms, both with mirrored sliding closet doors. No matter where you position the bed you see yourself in the mirrors. I know there a many cures in Feng Shui but I have not seen one for this. Can I use crystals? Please don't tell me to remove the doors -- they take up the whole wall of both bedrooms.
My first recommendation is to replace the mirror doors with wood doors. If this is not possible, then put red dots where the mirror splits and put mirrors on the opposite wall counterbalancing cutting effects.
Hi there. I just found out about Feng Shui and I am totally taken by it. I love it and I want to live in a totally self-supporting spiritual community/center. I want to design it Feng Shui style. I also want to build my own home. I was wondering if there are Feng Shui floor plans for self supporting homes?
This would have to be accomplished by hiring an architectural firm that designs self-supporting homes and a Feng Shui Consultant. We are not aware of an existing source of information that contains both of these requirements.
I would like to decorate my wealth corner accordingly. I have read that color purple and number 4 are related to wealth. Please help.
The number 4 means death as does the color white. In some numerology schools it means hard work and responsibility. Put a plant in your wealth corner. The color purple can also be used. Burning candles to the corner and shining lights will help to ad chi to the wealth. Also, put affirmations in a red envelope in this life station.
My apartment building has been altered from its original design by having all the 1 bedroom units split into bachelors and singles. Mine is a single with the door that used to connect to the adjoining apartment located in my hallway. The bachelor unit is to the left of my apartment entrance and the sealed hallway door is also on the left. I currently have a clothes hamper there. Is there any negative effect from this and how can it be counteracted?
Put a mirror on the wall facing that door. Hang something red on the inside of the door.
I have been having very bad luck for quiet some time now and need help.
Put your picture in your wealth corner with the affirmation "I will be of service to all." Make steps to help others and your luck will change.
What are the colors and their meaning that will give positive results in the daily lives of people belonging to these astrological signs: Aries, Virgo and Sagittarius?
Virgos: deep blues increase your ability to communicate and work on your weakness of intestines and bowels. Sagittarius: deep blues work on weakness of the hips, thighs and muscles. Aries: reds work on weakness of head, face and brain.
I live in an apartment and neighbors complaint about the chimes -- is it OK to have chimes inside without the sound or is it the sound that is the activator? Also is it OK to have a plant in my northern sector, one book I read recommends having one but another book says that plant (wood) exhaust water.
Yes, the sound is the cure. You may use a mobile or wind sock in the place of chimes. A live plant with water will be good for the corner. A fountain with plants will also work.
I'm 29 and single. As many other singles I would like to get married someday. I've read that Feng Shui can help to increase that possibility. Could you tell me some simple things that I could do to enhance the relationship area of my life.
Put affirmations of what type of mate you would like in a red envelope in the relationship corner. Write how thankful you are that you have found the mate you wanted. Put a picture of yourself and the type of man you want in the same corner. Also, put a red heart in this corner. Treat as many relationship corners as possible. Also add flowers or plants.
This house in which we live has always had problems with the plumbing. No matter who we've called in to repair the problem, it always comes back. Plumbers have found no reason for the leaks. We have one in the bathroom at the side of the tub nearest the shower which is particularly baffling. Mirrors, plants and crystals haven't seemed to help. We've changed the flapper ball in the toilet tank more times than I can count. The water is forever deciding to fill the tank when the unit hasn't been flushed. Pipes have been changed. I've tried purifying the best I know how. Please, if you can help, I'd really appreciate any suggestions. It's been this way for twenty years.
You should hang something red over all drains and toilets in the house. Add a fountain or a bird bath to both the front and rear of the house.
Our home faces south and is shaped with the middle part set back or missing. Is there something that can be done to bring this together to give the feel of a complete rectangle?
Add a lattice work with gate across opening creating a square house.
The back wall of our store is slanted and the wealth corner has a slanted back door.
Put two small mirror squares on the floor in back corners facing up. Do not use back door.
The main part of my house is painted yellow (my favorite color), I think this is not too good but I can't repaint at the moment. My house number is 44, I was born on 4/14/60 at 4:00 AM exactly -- all those fours. My front door faces the back glass doors. I have put a large silk tree in front of the back door and have set up a plant and photos in my relationship corner -- but still no luck. Please advise as to what else to do. My son left home. I cannot seem to establish a relationship or hold a job.
Put a mirror facing the front door above your glass doors. Hang a mobile between the opposing doors. Put your son's picture with yours in the relationship corner. Write positive affirmations about the relationship and put it in the relationship corner. Put job affirmations in your wealth corner as if you already have a job, thanking the universe for it.
What is the significance of numbers in Feng Shui? Are some good and some bad? What about directions? My front door faces west -- is this good or bad?
Numbers are very significant. 8 is my favorite number meaning prosperity. I like south-facing front doors. Your astrology may mean you should have a west facing door. I would have to look at the site and see your astrology before giving a definite answer.
April 1997In my bed room I have the bed facing the closet and all the closet doors have sliding mirror and also there is a large mirror at the head of the bed. From reading, I know this is bad Feng Shui. I would appreciated any advice you could give me. Since the bed is rather large for the room, it is quite hard to rearrange the position of the bed.
The ideal cure for this ailment would be to replace the mirror doors with wood. If this is not possible, hang a red ribbon over the cut in the mirror (this is where the two sliding doors meet).
