I added on the importance of windows. For HDB, apartments and Condo we are limited in controlling and management of Energy “Qi not Ci means eat” enters the house. Unlike landed properties.
Here are some Home feng shui tips to invite positive energy into your home without engaging a feng shui master.
Keep your house clean and tidy. Start small and form a daily habit.
(a) Categorise things or belongings that are essential, currently using and never used before (b) Take action to discard or donate to charity things that you don’t need e.g. toys that your kids have outgrown (c) Get rid of things that you are obsessed and sentimental with. This concept 断 舍 离 is from a Japanese author name 山下英子. According to this author whenever you buy a new item to replace the old one, do dispose the old thing.
古人曰: 久入兰室不闻其香，久住脏屋不觉其乱, “财，不入污门”
古人云: 高堂素壁, 无舒卷之劳; 明窗净几, 有坐卧之安”
in short a dirty living space, dulls your mind, weaken your health…
Singapore is a metropolitan city without natural landforms like mountains, rivers etc.
Therefore to attract “current qi 当运旺气” or some call wealth energy is of fundamental importance. Call your regular feng shui master and asked him to pinpoint the relevant windows, main door and bedroom doors to open or keep it close.
This method invite auspicious energies into your house without dressing your home with commercial feng shui items.
In most cases, Period 9 – South location windows or door facing south direction is the most current. Followed by Northeast and West.
Generally speaking for water positions are North, Southwest and East. This is based on San Yuan 玄空风水 三元纳气法 中的核心秘诀之一：“收山出煞诀. It is relatively simple, effective and easy to do yourself.
The correct and more effective approach is to align it with your home destiny chart.
3. Don’t be an annual feng shui shopper
Do Not indulge in buying Yearly feng shui items without understanding your Home Feng Shui Destiny Energy map. And do not accumulate yearly feng shui items without removing it. Remember less is more.
Whenever you are persuade into buying expensive feng shui items always ask yourself does it make “sense” to you? For instance a client of mine was misled into buying tens of thousand dollars amulet to cure her mom’s cancer. Another was persuaded to buy expensive wealth-generating talisman believing to make him rich? Learn to accept feng shui is not a miracle performance but enhancement.
Some enquiries i received assumed we can perform “wealth-changing” spells with feng shui like magic. How can wealth be generated without talents, hard work, education, habits, behaviour, mental attitude and others?
Feng shui is to provide the environment conducive for wealth making opportunities or career openings or study. You have to make it happen when opportunities knock on your door.
6. Positive affirmations
Try mediation, positive affirmations, read books that induce positive mindset but not wishful thinking without plans and actions.
黄帝宅经: “人因宅而立, 宅因人得存. 人宅相扶, 感通天地”
Lastly have a gracious and thankful attitude to who you are, what you do and those around you. The fact that you are reading this blog has proven you are more blessed than than 700 million people living in poverty.
