Quick Authentic Feng Shui Advice For Your Home
During a site consultation for a department of the United
Nations in Malaysia, one of its employees asked me a question
that seems to be asked often: can you give me some quick
guidelines for my home without having to go too much into it?
And of course, still using classical Feng Shui. House
consultations are usually very detailed affairs with many layers
of disciplines used and time consuming as each home is unique
BUT there still is general advice that can be used without
accidentally creating negative effects.
It helps to know which directions should be enhanced and those
that are not to be stimulated. If you are not sure of your Kua
number, you can use our Kua Number Calculator to find out your
Auspicious and Inauspicious directions. Inauspicious directions
need remedies and more protection while Auspicious directions
should be primarily enhanced. Remember, different people have
different Kua numbers and directions, meaning a good direction
for you to stimulate may be a bad direction for a loved one. In
cases where there are multiple occupants whose good/bad
directions overlap: use items that are primarily protective
items with a secondary role of enhancing. That way, if an item
for some reason is placed in the wrong direction, you're still
protected.
The Entrance
Asides from the entrances being entry points for your home, it
is also very important in Feng Shui as that's where a very large
amount of chi comes in and sets the overall tone of your home.
Wouldn't you rather allow good flowing chi into your home
instead of negative chi entering and pulling everything down?
Here, you would want to set up a filter point choosing for
auspicious chi coming in or good chi. A protective item would
make sure only good chi (sheng chi) comes in, whereas a wealth
enhancer would transform the chi coming in to be auspicious chi.
Recommendations: All Protectors (Protective), Authentic Wealth Bowl (Auspicious), Kuan Kung on Horse of Progress (Both).
The Backdoor
The backdoor or exit of your house is frequently overlooked
because there is usually more importance stressed on the
entrance. The importance of this part of the house increases
when depending on how often you use it. For some, it is an
entrance to their garden or a more convenient form of exit. If
you do not use the backdoor often, focusing on protection takes
priority. If it is used very often, then you can also treat it
similar to an additional entrance. Recommendations: Kuan Kung God of War (Protective), Lucky Wealth Bars (Auspicious), Inscribed Dragon Tortoise (Both).
The Living/Dining Room
This is usually the place where members of the house would spend
a large amount of time together. Be it entertaining guests,
watching a favorite show together or just winding down after a
tough day at work. This is also a place to maximise the usage of
Feng Shui for you to reap the benefits it can bring.
Recommendations: Fu Lu Shou Set (Protective), Prosperity Buddha (Auspicious), Lord Chung Kwei Guardian of Harmony (Both).
The Bedroom
This is a place where we rest and recuperate and thus open
ourselves to negative or positive influences in our immediate
surroundings. Most of the times, health related items are
recommended in this section and refrain from putting enhancers
that are constantly moving like windchimes. This is one of the
best places to promote harmony and soak up auspicious chi.
Recommendations: 8 Immortals Wu Lou (Protective), Health Wealth Pendant (Auspicious), Kuan Yin on Arowana(Both).
