What is Feng Shui?

What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement. A few thousand years, the Chinese were concerned with placing their homes in a protected position against nature's vagaries. Analyzing land formations and the surrounding energy flow for harmony and balance gradually evolved into a formal practice.

Feng Shui means "Wind and Water". Both wind and water in large amounts can be very damaging so the ancient Chinese learned that building a home high on a hilltop left it vulnerable to strong currents. Placing the home in a valley where there was a water source such as a river caused concern for flooding safety.

The "just right" position was determined to be at the base of the mountain, protected from the wind and yet far enough from the water to be safe. This configuration was known as the belly of the dragon, but any comfortable, safe site was said to have good Chi, the vital Life Force Energy that flows through the Universe.

We are looking for the "just right" position and feeling for your personal spaces: home, office, room, garden and property.

When you know that your home is your sanctuary, you open up to a new support system that balances personal passions with stability and serenity".

Improving Work and Career and Get Helpful People in Your Corner With Feng Shui

Feng Shui is the ancient art of placement. According to this ancient and effective practice, moving certain objects in your environment affects you very directly positively or negatively.

Here are two opportunities to give this incredible philosophical and practical process a try.

First opportunity: Many people--too many--are incredibly unhappy in their careers and jobs. To gain clarity and ignite the fires of positive change, let's concentrate on our career corner. Many careers are tied to our ultimate purpose during our lives. When combined, work CAN be play, and life is enjoyable and livable; not just bearable. We will use the word "career" which will include profession, purpose and life's work. Now, let's give this a go.

Check our reliable bagua, and find your career area (you can easily find a sample bagua/map which clearly shows you areas in words). As in any other area, you can have multiple career spaces. For example, you can have one in your office space and another in your home as a whole or within one of your rooms. As with your other areas you can have your career area in a small space like a desk. I will continue to emphasize that the point is the intent and energy you use within that space is what matters. You can usually find your career area on the center  "north"  geographically speaking or your personal lower area-in reference to your body, that is the middle/center spot of any of your spaces.

Once you have identified your career area, you can create and make adjustments that work for you. I cannot say it enough but the more creative you are and fun you have, the more enjoyable and effective it will be.

You can place objects and use colors which are of various deep tones such as deep blue, black, in this space. The color white can indeed also be used as well as metal as a secondary element.

Items that symbolize what YOU identify as professional success and happiness which are balanced with the rest of your life are strongly recommended. Try to use what is for your highest and greater good and what is truly meant for you. Symbols like fish, seascapes can be placed here. Also, conditions and ideals that are of personal significance can be used. For instance, you can put on a piece of paper pictures or written words of ideal salary, working conditions, schedule style, travel or lack of it, etc. Use general descriptions of qualities you want as well as values.

The element for this space is WATER. You can use a small water fountain or clear/white bowl of water in your corner too.

Second Opportunity: Whether you need outside help for your career, love life, health issues, social calendar, or something more personal, adjusting your helpful people corner will provide you with the energy shift you desire. As usual this works best when you stick with general requests not specific persons because sometimes we don't know who is best for our highest good. Let the universe take care of that part of things. Remember the helpful person(s) can take various forms so keep your eyes and mind open. Now let's proceed.

Again, check the reliable bagua, and find your helpful people area. We will continue to emphasize that the point is the intent and energy you use within that space is what matters. You can usually find your helpful people area on the "northwest" corner geographically speaking or your personal lower right hand spot of any of your spaces. You can begin to create and make adjustments that work for you.

Let's review examples of what we can use in your helpful people area. You can place objects and use white, grey tones and black colors, in this space.

Items that symbolize the qualities you want in a helpful person and are balanced with the rest of your life are strongly recommended. Try to use what is for your highest and greater good and what is truly meant for you.

Symbols like wind chimes, fresh flowers, paintings and pictures with spiritual significance like angels, Christ, Buddha, teachers, mentors, wise elders can be placed here. Also, conditions and ideals that are of personal significance can be used. For instance, you can put on a piece of paper pictures or written words of ideal type of assistance you need, etc. Use general descriptions of qualities you want as well as values.

The element for this space is METAL. You can anything made of metal and place it in this corner (stay away from knives or other sharp cutting objects. Have fun and be creative.

As always remember not to let the North, South, East, West directions confuse you. You simply go by the bagua and the space you are in. Not the outside world. So for instance when you enter a room or are looking at a specific space, see yourself in the center of the map. In front is Recognition, reputation and fame, to your right in the upper corner is romantic relationship, to you right/center is family, right lower corner helpful people, et

Why the Malaysian Government is trying to cool down the high valued properties?

In first half of 2010, it is good for those who engage in the profession of water (What are the profession of gold and water? Please refer to my book http://www.penangfengshui.com/index.php?pages=book_feng_shui pages 13 and 14). Banking industry is the gold element. This is due to the fact, 2010 tiger year is Geng Yin Nian 庚寅年. Geng is yang gold hence the performance results of those financial industries are undoubtedly excellent http://penangfengshui.blogspot.com/2010/08/strong-banking-results-boost-world.html.

Yin (tiger) is plant and hence there is an adjustment in the earth element industry in the second half of 2010. The property industry is the industry of earth element. This is due to the fact that the plant is there to crush the earth. You will notice that the Malaysian Government is trying to cool down the increment trend of the high valued properties, especially in Penang Island and Kuala Lumpur. As the matter of fact, the policy to reduce the percentage of the bank loan to the property purchasers has been enforced by the Governments of China, Singapore and Hong Kong earlier this year. In fact, the period 8 (2004 -2023) is the period of earth element hence the property, beauty and cosmetic industries should continue to out-perform. Go for the stocks that involve with plant and fire elements such as medical, plantation, electronic and etc.

The Feng Shui of South Korea

South Korea Flag

qian gua

kun gua

Before Heaven Bagua


Tai Ji


South Korea Presidential Residence

Do you know that the South Korea had been influenced strongly by the ancient knowledge of I-Ching 易经? I-Ching is one of the great recoveries of men and it existed in this world approximate 6000 years ago. The word I易 is in fact a combination of the Sun 日and the Moon 月. In other word, it is a study about the yang or positive energy and the yin or the negative energy. It is a book about the philosophy of change as our Earth does not stop revolving; the magnetic energy of the Earth will not be the same all the time. Moreover, the gravitational force pull between the Earth and the Moon, Sun and other planets will keep on changing all the time. I-Ching 易经 is the core of the knowledge of feng shui, Chinese medicine, tai ji, qi kung and many more.
There are qian gua, kun gua, li gua and kan gua in the South Korea flag. On top of that, there is a tai ji in the middle of the flag. The qian gua represents the heaven or the sky; kun gua indicates the earth, li gua is the Sun and whereas the kan gua is the Moon.
Also, the South Korean Presidential Residence has been build on a piece of land which is according to the theory of the左青龙 右白虎 前朱雀 后玄武zuo qing long, you bai hu, qian zhu qiao, hou xuan wu which mean the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Red Phoenix and Black Turtle. There is a hill at the back of the Presidential Residence. The land on the left of the Presidential Residence is higher than the right. There is a piece of ample land in front of the Presidential Residence. Please refer to my book, “How to enhance your wealth with feng shui?” http://www.penangfengshui.com/index.php?pages=book_feng_shui page 37 for the theory.
