Why water features are a big no-no in the bedroom?

Water is one of five elements in the science of feng shui. But why is it that it is not an element for the bedroom??? Recently I was analysing one of my client’s home and I met up with the developer regarding the possibilities of changes that can be done in that particular house. When the developer found out that I specialize in feng shui, he told me that he heard that water in feng shui means money and the more water you have, the better it is. That is why he has placed a water fountain in his bedroom and also hung a painting of waterfall above his bed headboard, so the ... more

PHILOSOPHY OF FENG SHUI DRESSING

Dressing for success is about dressing well. The basic rule in feng shui is to avoid clothes that are torn, old or make you look like a homeless individual. There is a custom among the Chinese nation (one of many) that every Chinese New Year they buy new clothes because they want to start the New Year with new, auspicious energy. Even better, of course if you can afford, is to shop for new clothes every season. For all you ladies, that is a very good excuse!!! As for colours in feng shui there are few methods you can use. The easiest is to check your KUA number. Depending on your KUA, ... more

FENG SHUI NONSENSE

There are many misleading advices or rather false representations of feng shui that I have found on the internet pages. I would like to interject my view and make some comments. These comments are not meant to undermine or belittle anyone but rather they are my opinions and my professional points of clarification. 1. feng shui is magic What is so magical about science??? I guess only to people who have no idea what feng shui is, will it seem magical or worse, a practice of the black art, whatever that means. To make it clear; feng shui is neither magical nor mysterious nor has ... more

HOW TO READ AND USE COMPASS IN FENG SHUI

Using a compass and correct usage of compass is very vital in the practice of Feng Shui. Thinking it is just enough to take general directions, where the sun is setting or rising is a big mistake. In my practice many people during consultations were trying to convince me that there is no necessity of using a compass because they know in which direction the sun is setting, so they know where each direction is. Inside your home, because of appliances and metal conductivity the energy changes, so it is really necessary that you use a compass. Please also remember to buy ... more

PEACH BLOSSOM ANIMAL

This formula was devised to help achieve, for those in need of feeling loved, cared for, all that warm and tender feelings of being in love (who doesn’t). This is a symbolical article placing method. Every animal sign in the Chinese horoscope has a so called “Peach blossom animal”. Peach blossom denotes love. There are 4 groups of animals (you can read more about it in my article “Allies and friends”). First you need to know what animal sign you are (you can check this either in the calculator column or in the ... more

RECESSION

I have noticed recently that the hottest topic in debates across the media or communal gatherings such as coffee places is „global recession”, the doom that is coming. I would like to take a moment as an ex-economist to highlight that this particular phenomena is not at all unusual, however could be rated like natural disasters and categorized as a mother of all such disasters. However Mother Nature is utterly blameless for this global recession because this is a human inflicted disaster borne out of greed and impatience. As we all know, everything ... more

CHARLATAN FENG-SHUI

Recently one of my clients gave me an article to read. An article was written at the site of www.kobieta.pl by Bernadeta Hollender. The article contained alarming advices by a feng shui master, that at times it seemed like advices of a charlatan. It was a very stressful but funny read, let me elaborate why. The so called advices: you start consultation by throwing away the first bag of garbage ... more

ASTROLOGICAL ALLIES, FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

All animals’ signs are divided into 4 groups of allies; also each has their own secret friend and enemy. The easiest method of using this knowledge is to avoid all the people who are your enemies according to the horoscope, and when choosing people (as workers, business partners, friends) look for your allies or secret friends. Relationships will be more harmonious if you marry your ally or secret friend, your business will be more successful and long-lasting, if your business partner is your ally or your secret friend. If anyone has any doubts ... more

Great job, loads of money, ideal partner, health and possibility to travel to the most beautiful places in the world – who does not want a life like that? Probably everyone – including me! It would be great if feng shui was something like „do it yourself”, a quick project to which just a read of a short ... more

CHINESE ASTROLOGY

Sometimes we find ourselves at work, at school, at home in a situation where we can not understand how another person can view same situation so differently from us or can find different things irritating or amusing.

Looking at the animal signs, let’s explore these differences by allowing us an insight into our natures and personalities. This knowledge will let us get to know ourselves and also others better and will let us ... more

WHAT IS FENG SHUI

Before I explain what feng shui is, it is necessary to let you know the origins and when it apparently got started. It is almost impossible to say when exactly it started because information about that differs, sometimes extremely. When reading different information, articles and books concerning this topic, I came to face with many completely different information. Some sources say that feng shui has its beginning around 2500 years ago, some 3500 years ago and others even 6000 years ago!!!! The latter really made me laugh! If we only use basic logic, we can figure out that 6000 ... more

FIVE ELEMENTS

Crucial to practice of feng shui is the knowledge of the 5 elements and how they relate with each other to create auspicious or inauspicious forces. The 5 elements are: water, wood, fire, earth and metal and according to feng shui everything in this world possesses element attributes that relate mutually to each other. Most cures and enhancers in feng shui are based on this theory. Ideally there should be a balance of all the elements. Where one is missing, or one dominates, problems arises, negative energy causes sadness, burglary, sickness or depression. ... more
