2015 is coming to an end in just a couple of days.  You may have heard many people complaining that 2015 is a tough year.  How has the year 2015 been for you?  Perhaps it is time to take a few moments to reflect on your achievements, failures, challenges and joy in 2015.  It is also good to invest a few moments to think what you would like to do in 2016.

Flying Stars in 2016 

If you feel that 2015 was not smooth for you, perhaps you can plan ahead for 2016 and find out how to leverage on the annual energies to generate success and prosperity for yourself.

Auspicious Energies in 2016

In 2016, the main energies of prosperity and success are coming from the south, south eastern and south western directions.  Activating the south western direction of your home at auspicious timing is likely to bring you increase in money opportunities.

Inauspicious Energies in 2016

You have to be wary of the energies of calamity coming from the north eastern direction.  You may reduce the impacts of calamity by hanging copper bells to reduce and negate bad calamity energies.  Other negative energies to watch out for are the energies of robbery from the north and the fighting energies from the north western direction.

If you home happens to be sitting in the northern and north eastern direction, be very careful when doing any renovations at home.  It is still possible to renovate your home, however, careful date selection need to be done to ensure no harm will befall on the occupants and people who are involved with the renovation work.

Always consult with your feng shui adviser for the timing of implementing any feng shui fixes.  Timing determines the success or failures of your feng shui implementations.

May you have a very Happy and Prosperous New Year ahead!

Eventful 2015

2015 is a very eventful year for every Singaporean….sending off our most respected Founding Father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, followed by our Nation’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, and now, we are into our General Election!

Why they choose to go into politics? What is their Deepest Intention?

As I watch some of the GE rally speeches, I started to wonder what is the deepest true intention of each and every candidate standing in for the GE? Why are these people choosing to be in politics? For personal gains and personal favors? For a fat pay cheque? For fame? For their beliefs? For their ideals? For power? or For the People?

What is the Truth? Where is the Truth?

While each party make their points in their rally speeches, and calling out the faults of their competition, I realised that the truth of the matter is often far from what these folks are presenting on their stages. It is hard for a commoner citizen to be fully informed of the facts of the cases, as we will never be granted access to vet the documentary evidences….

The Truth Lies in One’s Heart…where the Deepest Intention can be felt…

As such, it is very tough for the citizens to know who to vote for. For this matter, I realised that I cannot rely on the information or the “selected facts” that are presented by any of the parties. However, what I could do is, I could switch from my analytical mind into my heart center and feel who is really speaking from their hearts. The ones who speak from their hearts are often the ones who truly cares for the people and are doing it for the people. The underlying deeper intention of each candidate can be felt at the heart level, their deepest true intentions cannot escape the listening hearts of the citizens.

Politics and Feng Shui Industry

At this point in time, I cannot help but see such similarities in the Political front and in the Fengshui industry.  Every fengshui practitioner makes some claims and justifications for the fengshui theories that we practise and apply. As a consumer, it is almost impossible to know which fengshui practitioner is telling the truth. For all you know, every fengshui practitioner is telling their truth as they know it.

How Do you Choose a Fengshui Practitioner?

Forget about trying to compare the facts and the fengshui theories used by various practitioners, unless you have studied fengshui in depth as well. Each system of fengshui has its own merits and shortcomings. There isn’t a perfect fengshui theory or solution that can solve all problems. As fengshui practitioners, we are often upgrading our skills as well. What you can do is to use your heart to feel, feel the intentions of each fengshui practitioner that you come across.

Intention Intention Intention

A good politician, who can truly serve the people, is one who has a deep intention to serve his/her people. Similarly, a good fengshui practitioner is one whose deepest intention is to serve the people.  As fengshui is a very deep and complex topic to master, it is also an area where it is very easy for practitioners to take advantage of the consumers for personal financial benefits.  It is a very common practise in the fengshui industry, where practitioners would create expensive products as solutions to fengshui problems, which could easily be solved or remedied by simple natural solutions such as painting the wall a different color.

Listen with Your Heart & Choose Wisely

We are only 3 days away from 11 Sep 2015, listen keenly with your hearts and choose wisely as you cast your votes. If you happen to be looking for a fengshui practitioner to advise you on your fengshui, listen keenly with your hearts and choose wisely too….

May all Singaporeans identify and support the ones who deeply intent to serve us truly….

Colors That Help You Apply Feng Shui to Your Business Logo

We are visual people and gather more from what we see than what our other senses pick up. This is applicable both to our personal and professional life. Now, when you venture into business territory, your sole aim is to gather clientele and be a reliable factor in the eyes of others. Question is – How do you make a credible start? You do so by fashioning out a good company name, a website and a logo design. The lattermost, especially, has to be crafted with your vision, your foresight and some help from Feng Shui principles.

The 5 Elements

The 5 Elements – The science of Feng Shui has ordained different colors into different categorical elements.  For convenience, there are five principle elements, namely, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth elements. Each and every business directly relates to one or more of these elements and you ought to choose a harmonious color for your logo.

The 5 Elements and Colors:

Metal Element can be represented by metallic colors like gold or silver and also white.

Water Element can be represented by the colors black, grey or blue.

Wood Element can be represented by green.

Fire Element can be represented by Red.

Earth Element can be represented by Yellow.

Feng Shui Master : You say your mum and you suffer from restless sleep and frequent nightmares? And both of you even see or hear “ghosts”? And you have a strange lung issue, which, even the medical doctors, cannot properly diagnose what the cause of the lung issue is?

Client : Yes. Can you find out if these sleep issues, nightmares and strange sickness and strange encounters are caused by our home Feng Shui?

Feng Shui Master : Hmmm…this is strange….based on the degree shown on the Feng Shui Compass, your flat’s sitting orientation is a good one.  Even your sleeping locations are good spots where they should not cause nightmares and illness.  (Base on Feng Shui Compass, the LuoPan, Property is Sitting on South, facing the North)

Client : But we are really suffering from the situations we mentioned. And it had been many years (8-9 years since we moved into this flat) of sufferings on restless sleep, nightmares and strange happenings.

Feng Shui Master : Let us do another type of measurement, using a Sundial. We will capture the shadow cast by the sun, and convert it into the degree of orientation of the flat. This measurement will be totally free of electromagnetic influences. It is a sun reading.

Client : Ok.

Feng Shui Master : Wow! From the sundial reading, it is 61 degree different from the compass reading. This is a huge difference, which is very unusual.  What’s more, from the sundial reading, the property is actually sitting on the Void Line zone.

Void Lines are terms used in Feng Shui, and they are indicated on a Feng Shui Compass, the LuoPan. Energies in the void line zone are usually unstable and they can fluctuate from one flying star chart to another. Such unstable energy fields within the home, often create the energetic space where non physical entities find easy to reside in.

Based on the sundial reading, it shows that your home is sitting on the void line between the borders of South-West and West direction. We now have nailed down the causes of your restless nights, consistent nightmares, ill health and possibly the strange encounters too. The locations that you have slept in were either holding the energies of 25 or 52.

25 and 52 are flying star numbers. 2 represents the energy of illness while 5 represents the energy of calamity.  Together, they are quite a disastrous pair. From our experiences, many clients experience frequent nightmares and perpetual illness when they sleep in locations with 25 or 52 energies.

Client : So how? Can the void line issue be remedied?

Feng Shui Master : Yes, it will involve the need to tilt doors. Since this is a rental flat and your new flat is coming next year, we do the implementation in different stages. First, we relocate sleeping locations and sofa location out of 25 and 52 energy. Relocation needs to be done on Auspicious Date and Time to see fast results and ensure effectiveness of the shift. Our first priority is to get you out of bad energy space for speedy recovery of your health situation, and to improve sleep quality. Then, we monitor the situation and see if the strange “ghostly encounters” still persist, before we decide if you should go ahead with tilt door.

Do You also have some Strange Encounters at Home or in Your Office? Are You also plague with Persistent Bad Health? Share it with us here.

Is it time to get a Proper Feng Shui Audit to check if the causes of these strange encounters are in Feng Shui?

When there is a lot of space to maneuver in your office room, there is a natural impetus to your creativity and feeling of freedom. However, when that space gets thwarted and you are placed in a cubicle or even a small open space, you feel bogged down and chained. There is an impression of compromise and you cannot perform at the best of your productive levels. Through Feng Shui principles, you can make the most of it (your challenged office space) and try to remain in good spirits and thrive. Here are three tips which should help you trail the blaze.

Use Compartments To Create More Positive Energy Sectors

Many offices adopt the open concept in organizing their work spaces, to create the impression of larger office space for the employees and visitors. Despite successful in creating the feeling of bigger space, a large open office setup, often has limited positive energy sectors for the people to operate in.

In Feng Shui, Energies are described as Flying Stars. There are nine flying stars, each star characteristics serve as the descriptions for the energies that exist in any particular sectors. The interactions of different energies that exist in any sector can be understood through the combination of stars within the same sector.

Compartmentalization is the way to manipulate the energies that exist in any enclosed space. Compartmentalization is achieved by dividing a large space into different rooms. In this way, we can create more positive energy sectors, where we can locate people to operate their work activities in.

For example, in a large open office, we may only have 3 out of 8 sectors, which are suitable for employees to operate their work from. Some employees may be located in poor energy sectors and report sick more often. We can divide the big office into different compartments to create more good energy spots for employees and enhance work performance and productivity significantly.

Harmonizing the Energies through Colors

Some sectors may have the existence of desirable good energies and at the same time, the good energies could also be limited or conflicted by negative energies. The common Feng Shui remedies would be to harmonize the energies. One of the very effective and yet natural looking way engaged by many Feng Shui Practitioners would be, to use colors to represent the missing element(s), which can help in resolving the conflicts between good and bad energies by connecting them in a flowing producing cycle.

The five categories, or five elements, are namely Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth.

Metal is primarily represented by White color and Metallic colors such as gold, silver or stainless steel colors. Water is primarily represented by the color Black. Different shades of Blue or Grey can also represent Water element. Wood element can be represented by different shades of Green color. Fire element is commonly represented by Red or the res series of colors. Earth element is commonly represented by Yellow color.

Understanding the way energies interact and connect through the eyes of five elementals is very useful for anyone who is designing the office. The addition of a colored wall could potentially reduce the amount of arguments within the office. Seek the advice of qualified feng Shui Consultants to have a full picture of how to use colors to solve challenging energies within your office.

Convert the Bad Enemies into Useful Friends

The highest form of Feng Shui practice is to Convert Bad Energies into Useful Support to achieve your desired goals.

Energy is energy. There is no good or bad energies. However, this point may create a conflict in your understanding about energies. We categorize energies into Good energies and Bad energies based on whether the energies can help and support us or to destroy us.

Illustrating this point in the flying star system, we all know that the Five Yellow star represents very powerful energies which can cause sudden losses and even sudden accidents and sudden death. As such, 90% of Feng Shui practitioners would choose to totally avoid the destructive energies of Five Yellow.

However, when you meet an experienced Feng Shui Practitioner, he or she will be able to convert this potentially destructive energy of Five Yellow into an allied force, leveraging on the powerful energy forces to boost up the magnitude of achieving your targeted goals.

The Key to the Success in such high level Feng Shui remedies rest heavily on the use of the Right Date and Right Time of implementation. Always seek the help of a qualified Feng Shui Consultant before you execute any Feng Shui Remedies.

The above three pointers should help you see possible solutions in your official capacity even if you have a challenging space to work from. There are very few bad office space that bring bad business. Most office spaces can be energetically tuned up for optimal support towards your business successes. Let your office space limitations not that be a hindrance to your business success. Resort to Feng Shui and find the potential resolutions awaiting you.

Some people indulge in physical labor while some have desk work in the main office.  Many people work in enterprises and offices while quite a few people operate from their home offices. Dynamics change even if the eventual aim for most is to rise in their spheres. Working from home has its share of advantages and you can grow exponentially from here provided you keep certain factors into account. Organization is the key as is the fact that you should, by all means, keep your professional life separate from your personal one; a harder task while working from home. Here are a few Feng Shui tips which should help you create your home office.

1. Different Activations for Office and Bedroom

In office Feng Shui setup, we focus primarily on activating the luck factors in your office. In more technical terms, we focus on activating the auspicious water-flying-stars within your office. Whilst in home Feng Shui setup, we focus primarily on creating health, harmony and peace, hence we allocate stillness to auspicious mountain-flying-stars, to enhance well being of occupants.

Hence, in area where you choose to locate your home office, you will focus on locating your work desk in auspicious sectors where money, authority and success can be enhanced. You can also activate the lucky stars within your home office area with lots of movements and appropriate type of water features. Appropriate use of colors can also help in harmonizing conflicting energies in any sectors.

2. Pamper the North this year

The annual lucky flying star number 8 arrives in the north for 2015. The flying star number 8 is also known as the Assistant Star. Some people also call the flying star number 8 as the money star. The actual energetic component that is represented by the annual flying star 8 is the energy of “Increasing”.

Hence, if supported by the right landform and environment factors, the annual flying star 8 can increase wealth and prosperity. However, if the annual flying star 8 is accompanied by lousy landform or disorganized and messy environment, it will still bring the energy of “increasing”, but it will not increase money or prosperity. It will actually increase the loss of money.

Therefore, please ensure that the north sector of your home office is kept clean and tidy at all times.  Any additional enhancement to the annual flying star 8 will need to be considered together with the other flying stars that exist in the same sector. All the flying stars within a sector represents the different types of energies that exist within the same sector, hence we need to understand the effects of the interactions among all these stars before we implement any external activation.

3. Success is in the South West this Year

The annual lucky flying star number 9 arrives in the South-West for 2015. The flying star number 9 is also known as the Heavenly Assistant Star. Some people also call the flying star number 9 as the Fame star. The actual energetic component that is represented by the annual flying star 9 is the energy of “Fame and Success”.  Hence, if supported by the right landform and environment factors, the annual flying star 9 can bring in successes through fame.

Annual Star 9 also can bring successes in negotiations. It is anchors an important energy for any businessman, whose business successes depends on negotiations. Should your business requires you to do lots of negotiations, you can also choose to sit in the energy of flying star 9 instead of flying star 8.

Please ensure that the south-west sector of your home office is kept clean and tidy at all times.  Flying star 9 can be activated in different ways as compared to flying star 8. Any additional enhancement to the annual flying star 9 will need to be considered together with the other flying stars that exist in the same sector too.

4. Managing the Yang Movement

Yang energy is primarily activated or introduced when there are movements. Movements may include the channel of airflow, the path of human walking, moving water in water features, and the area or path of any other forms movements.

Windows, fans or air-conditioner blowers should be located at auspicious locations. These are items that will generate movements of airflow and need to be located only at auspicious locations for activation of auspicious energies.

Placement of water features to activate wealth and success need to be handled with very careful considerations. Firstly, you will need to consider the more permanent flying stars in the selected sector, which can be found in the natal flying star chart for the office. Next, you need consider the type of water feature. Lastly, you have to selected the right date and time of installing such water features to ensure positive activations.

5. Maintain good environment

The room should have a fresh and energetic appeal. There should be appropriate ventilation and proper insulation so that the temperature is amiable even without an air conditioner. The noise element should also be catered to through sound acoustics. Grow lights should be considered as should potted plants, which bring in fresh air. There should be a suffusion of fragrance. The desk should be some distance away from the door for proper channeling of chi.

Most importantly, keep the work space, the entrance and the entire home office as clean, neat and tidy as possible. Good Feng Shui starts with good landform and good environment!
