What is a Feng Shui Life

Many people have heard of Feng Shui, and have wondered what having a Feng Shui life consists of. Some believe it is but silly superstition or ancient fairy tales. In fact, Feng Shui is the knowledge that comes from studying and understanding how the environment around you impacts you and your daily life.

In the Chinese language, Feng (fung) means ?wind? and Shui (schway) means ?water?. These two basic elements are considered to be the fundamental elements for life to exist. Feng Shui dates back over 3,000 years, and continues to evaluate how ch?i, Chinese for ?energy,? flows in one?s environment and the impact that this flow has on one?s life.

At it?s inception, the art and science of Feng Shui focused on the arrangement of the home for optimum safety, comfort, and security. One?s bedroom would be positioned properly for the deepest and most restful sleep. Doors would be placed in such a way as to provide security from negative energies. Every detail was accounted for, including the stove?s proper placement to ensure that the rice would be cooked properly, each and every time.

As the years have passed, Feng Shui masters have developed more sophisticated ways of evaluating the impact of our increasingly complex environments on ch?i. These methods include the measurement of magnetic flow based on compass direction, and the natural real world effects of color, shape, and the conglomeration of elements in a person?s living space.

The common misconception many people have is that a Feng Shui life brings with it wealth and almost magical tidings. For better or for worse, this could not be further from the truth. A Feng Shui life is really about creating an environment for opportunities. It allows you to make good use of the understanding of nature and life together. This understanding can effectively help you make the most of the opportunities that come before you, and hopefully open you to more of those opportunities.

The modern Feng Shui life must continue to evolve in order to address contemporary problems. Environmental factors such as the effect of electromagnetic radiation, indoor plumbing, and other innovations have the potential to clutter the environment and can have a hand in obstructing ch'i flow and disturbing the delicate balance of life.

Many people who work to live a Feng Shui life stress the importance of embracing other life-enhancing factors as well. Since Feng Shui is a holistic lifestyle, it is reasonable that consideration must also be given to the quality of food that we eat, the quality of cosmetics or personal hygiene products that we put into our bodies, and the choices we make concerning products that may or may not use toxic elements so that we may continue to support the environment.

With our world constantly moving and changing, you can never have the best of circumstances all the time. With day there must be night, and times of good luck must come with times of bad, this is one of the primary principles of Yin and Yang. A Feng Shui life can help to manipulate the influences in your life and make it easier for you to be able to meet and handle these changes. It can allow you to make wise and effective decisions which, in turn, can help you achieve wealth and success.

A Feng Shui Life is certainly not some fairy tale or superstition. In fact, Feng Shui is a profound life tool that can be used by anyone to make life better and more harmonious.

Feng Shui, the Mountain Dragon

Importance of Mountain Dragon

In Feng Shui, there is a saying ? Mountain govern Man, Water govern Wealth

Wealth obviously refers to money and assets. Man refers to you; the health, wisdom, emotions, and human relationship of one?s. In simple, mountain refers to people luck while water, wealth luck.

Now, what is so important about mountain? To start off, we have to first understand the very relationship between mountain and water.

We have always mentioned that true Feng Shui is about the influences of ?Qi? (metaphysical forces of nature), how the ?Qi? in your residing environment actually affect you.

Surely the question to be asking, where does ?Qi? come from? And to answer you, mountain is the source of all these ?Qi?.

It has always been misunderstood by many and even some Feng Shui practitioner that ?Qi? is produced by water. Or perhaps this is human nature. Everyone greed after wealth, choosing to just incorrectly believe so. Afterall, water brings about wealth (wealth luck)

We have seen many cases, especially with self-taught practitioner. Some are in fact very good with locating wealth corner (water location). But it is a pity that when it comes to mountain location, they hardly have the knowledge.

You have to understand this. All around us, the planet is constantly changing and growing. Mighty mountains are formed by the magnetic pull of these planetary changes, generating ?Qi? that affect our lives. And these ?Qi? are carried and dispersed by the wind and preserved in the water into our environment. This is the law of Nature.

To take note, water is just a medium to help gather and distribute these ?Qi?. When there is no mountain, there is no presence of any ?Qi?. So what?s the point of having water when there is no ?Qi? present to be gathered? Nice to look at but of no use to be having. No point cheating yourself or worse, being misled by some inexpert. Without the presence of ?Qi?, the Feng Shui formation is just not going to work.

Think about it. Now, isn?t mountain a more important factor to consider?

We have seen also cases of many going just directly into the interior of the house, neglecting details of the external environment, the very external influences. Remember, true Feng Shui is never an interior decoration.

To get the best out of Feng Shui, both mountain and water locations are equally important.

A good Feng Shui master should have the expertise in both, capable of identifying good mountain in the environment; able to cleverly combine both to bring about a well-balanced Feng Shui formation for you. In Feng Shui, a balance is always sought (Yin & Yang)

What make a good mountain anyway?

In general, mountain can be of 5 types (Earth, Wood, Metal, Fire and Water) bringing about different influences. E.g. Earth mountain aid wealth and prosperity, fruitfulness offspring. Wood mountain aid fame and academic.

In general, a timely and good mountain looks green. This resembles a healthy and happy dragon, which will bring you good health and fortunes. A brown and dry one resembles a sick and angry dragon that would bring bad health and misfortunes.

Now, there is definitely nothing wrong with wanting wealth, who doesn?t want it? But just ask yourself this simple question, who is the one who want it? Surely it is you, the very man?

Without good health, wisdom and the correct attitude, how are you possibly going to achieve wealth? What is the use of having lots of wealth when you don?t have the health to enjoy it?

Picture it this way. Water is always flowing (Yin). Yes, it may bring you wealth with plentiful of riches flowing in. But without a mighty mountain (Yang) to cleverly stop and control the water, your wealth is just going to keep flowing away.

In life, a balance is always to be sought (Yin & Yang) remember, when you can earn a lot, you can also spend a lot. When you can be in good health, you can also be in ill health. Without a balance, you can be earning $10k and spending $20K. Now isn?t that instead going to bring more problem & difficulty to your life in the long run? Worst, without a good health?

Understand the true of Feng Shui, seek the correct way of life.

Using Feng Shui to Create a Vibration of Abundance

Your prosperity is directly related to the flow of energy in your environment. Clutter creates stagnant energy flow and prevents abundance from flowing to you.

Clutter is anything unfinished, unused, unresolved, tolerated or disorganized. Clutter is emotional constipation!

Letting go of something that no longer makes your heart sing, can mean letting go of a person, or something no longer relevant in your life. It can be part of a process of grieving, enabling you to move into your present and future.

Everyone has their own patterns of attracting abundance and blocking it. Do you recognize any of these?

1. Physical Clutter - Clutter is dead, stagnant energy and will block the flow of energy in your life. The energy that flows around your home and office is like a river, bringing abundance and fortunate blessings in all areas of your life. When it comes across a pile or something you are tolerating it will get bogged down.

Ask yourself: Do I love it? Do I use it? Does it make my heart sing?

2. Purchasing clutter - If you make purchases when feeling angry, sad, stressed, fearful etc. youre spending money to to suppress those feelings rather than feeling them and letting them go. This means emotional energy will attach itself to the item and you will experience its vibration, even on an unconscious level whenever you look at, wear or use the item.

These items will not make your heart sing and will not support your prosperity.

Are you ready to let them go? Are you ready to become a conscious shopper?

3. Growth creates clutter - As you make changes within yourself, more of your belongings will fit the definition of clutter. Having the urge to discard things in your home or office is a sign of you stepping more fully into yourself and your abundance.

If you don't address the clutter, it will hold you where you were. If you are growing and changing you are continually creating clutter!

4. Unconscious clutter - Do you have beliefs that create conflict? Do you think you can't be wealthy AND care about people? Do you think you can't be successful working 4 days a week? These beliefs will be affecting your prosperity. Take time to re-examine them.

5. Clutter Vibration - everything has a vibration. If you have a feeling of not enough time, money or love in your life, it sets up a vibration that will block abundance. And, focusing on the fear of not having enough time or money draws more of that to you. On the other hand, the vibration of gratitude is the same as the vibration of abundance.

Create an attitude of gratitude. Keep a gratitude journal and each night before you go to sleep write down 5 things you are grateful for today. Focusing on gratitude rather than lack is one of the most powerful things you can do to attract the abundance vibration.

6. Language Clutter - The word 'want' means to desire without having! When you say you want something you are resonating with the vibration of lack, rather than flowing with the vibration of abundance. You are also complaining, at a subtle level. The Universe responds to requests, not complaints. Try using the words 'choose' or 'desire' - they may sound strange at first, but it's worth it to create a flow of energy.

7. Does your prosperity area feel abundant? Ask yourself, what do I currently own that represents abundance to me now? Once you have cleaned and cleared the clutter from your prosperity area, place this object there to create the vibration you choose to attract.

To discover where the prosperity area of your home or a room is, See http://www.LifeDesignStrategies.com/BaguaMap.html

8. Try this game. Place a bowl or container you love in the prosperity area of your home or a room. Each day, take a coin, give thanks for the abundance you already have, and the abundance coming to you and place the coin in the bowl. The increasing coins represent your increasing abundance.

At some point when it feels right and the bowl is nearing full, make a decision about what to do with that money and start over. This will work best once you have cleared the clutter and cleaned the area. And remember, what you focus on expands.

Clearing clutter is an important part of Feng Shui. Before you can create something new you need to make space for it. The changes you make in your environment are mirrored in your life and support you in making emotional shifts. Feng Shui can provide a welcome boost in living the life you want.

Business Prosperity And Feng Shui

Whilst it is clear that not everyone is destined to own and run a business and certainly there are a lot of budding entrepreneurs entering the world of business today. Effort, energy, attitude, skill and knowledge are all factors that govern, at least to some degree your ability to own and run an efficient and highly profitable business. Another factor that can impact on the degree of business success that you experience is ? Feng Shui.

Feng Shui is the force that is said to be able to influence your destiny. It is able to modify the standard and level of your success. And there is an abundance of evidence from many satisfied customers, globally, that claim Feng Shui assists in changing the level of gains or losses in business.

There are two types of Feng Shui environments. The first is the physical, commonly known as ?Form School? and this refers to the actual visible surroundings. Examples of this are; the external environment such as the general landscape, mountains, rivers, roads, other buildings, the internal design and layout of the building, the position of our desk, chair and settee. Each one is considered to bestow some Feng Shui influence in your life. To this end, there are certain ?shapes? that can reduce prosperity and especially if you are searching for New Premises then you would do well to keep them in mind.

Sharp pointed objects; Sharp edges facing a building are considered a physical ?sha?. A curved blade, a road, a river, a flyover with the curved edge facing your building is considered bad Feng Shui. This is usually explained as the blade of a sword cutting through the building. However, the truth is, that it is considered to be inauspicious because your prosperity is turning away from you. Indeed the reverse configuration, i.e. when the curve of a road, a river or any of the above is embracing your building it is considered beneficial and is often called the ?jade belt?.

Water cutting the feet; a building standing right at the water front with little space between the foot of the building and the ocean or river is not particularly good. In this situation the water is considered too strong and symbolizes a lack of a strong foundation.

A building such as a police station is said to be related to violence. A Church, temple or religious building is said to absorb the beneficial influences of the surrounding environment, leaving little prosperity for its neighbours. Other sites such as hospitals, funeral parlours, prisons and graveyards are associated with sorrow and misfortune ? therefore not good neighbours to have.

Also as a part of the ?Form School? principles, there are some guidelines for placement of furniture. What is particularly important in an office environment is the placement of desks. Therefore after determining the entrance to the offices, the next step is to place the desk in the best possible location. The natural position for placing the desk should be at the corner of the diagonal line from the entrance, so that the person can face and see the entrance and has a solid wall behind you. To enhance the symbol of power, the desk should lean against a solid wall.

Sitting on a straight line towards the entrance, or with your back against the entrance, is not recommended.

It is not advised to place the desk in the middle of the room without leaning against any wall. This promotes a sense of floating and thereby a level of insecurity.

The second type of Feng Shui environment is somewhat more abstract and therefore subject to much speculation. Nonetheless, this influence is derived from the invisible, directional forces and has an impact on your life based on your buildings exact degree of orientation and the factor of time. And lets face it, if we think logically, absolutely everything changes with time and so you cannot ignore this very important factor.

So what are these invisible directional forces?? Some of us say they are magnetic waves; others suggest they are cosmic rays, celestial energies etc?.. It really doesn?t matter how you or I translate this more abstract quality ? most of us agree that there is ?something else? that influences our lives. The Ancients from China however, seem to have discovered a pattern to trace the indiscernible influences so that we can predict their movement and, just as importantly they developed theories enabling us to fully utilize these enigmatic forces. These techniques have indeed emerged from a lengthy and committed study of nature thereby providing a solid foundation of Chinese metaphysical views about the universe and nature.

With respect to the invisible Feng Shui inflluences during 2007, there are some adjustments that you can make that will be valuable, at least to some degree, through the course of the year. These modifications can also be placed in the correct sectors of your home as well as your business during the coming year.

You will find a troublesome influence coming from the Northeast bringing with it difficulties and obstacles. If this part of your business is very active such as a front, back or side entrance, a passage, the reception area, boardroom or even the directors office, then this energy needs to be dealt with by placing an all-metal wind chime or metal prayer bell in this area particularly in the months of February, August, and November. Now, this is not always easy to achieve depending on the area therefore, at the very least place a metal object such as a ?five element pagoda? in the appropriate position.

The Centre resonates with the force of sickness during 2007. Therefore you will require a string of six metal coins to be placed in this area, and this is particularly important if a major thoroughfare is located in that area of your business premises.

An energy of arguments is located in the Northwest and so it could be valuable to place a red object or the more traditional option of red paper in this area to help minimise this influence.

Another destructive influence is arriving from the North. Hence, it is best to place Four bamboo stems (only those that grow in water) in a clear glass vase within the North sector.

Finally, do not sit with your back against due West, especially whilst you are working. It is also advisable to not carry out large-scale construction work in the Northwest for the coming year, as this is the location of the ?Grand Duke?. Should your business face Northwest then place a Dragon Tortoise to face the same direction.

Feng Shui Is Another Element In Which You Can Have The Advantage Over Your Competition

It is a common practise in the eastern countries that Feng Shui masters are consulted for their homes and offices. This is applicable for corporate executives and more so for Entrepreneurs. Why are Feng Shui so important to these people? Will Feng Shui really improve our life, luck and businesses?

First, let's us understand the concept of Luck.

There are 3 types of luck in the centuries old Chinese belief. This so called Trinity of Luck are equally distributed, that is 33.33% each. We can do something to 2 of them to improve our luck and there is only one we cannot control. Let me explain.

Heaven Luck - this is luck that has already been fixed by the heavens for you the day you are born. We do not and will not have control over it. Called it Fate. This is done by reading your palm, calculate your date of birth and some times reading your face.

Earth Luck - This is the environment we are in which deal with our locations and the things around us. We can use Feng Shui to enhance good forces or to prevent any bad forces that can affect us. This is the reason why you opt-into my page and you want to know more and do something to improve your luck.

Human Luck - This is about yourself and your upbringing. It is about what you can achieve through education and willingness to work hard towards your goals. You can definitely control this luck.

Therefore, having the right mindset and attitude is important. The right mind to believe that there is a science of getting rich while applying Feng Shui, you already control 66.66% of the Luck you need for your life!

It is not uncommon to see many eastern entrepreneurs re-arrange their office to cater for good Feng Shui in order to usher good luck and prosperity. They are also aware that Human Luck is also important to their success. A person's attitude to work, interpersonal relationship and the quest to learn is important. To improve human luck, one needs to have continuous educations and refinements in their skills. This is what the west is good at. They have developed management science that the east are looking for. China is now learning all the skills that have been developed by the west. Many techniques such as goal settings, project managements, software and manufacturing techniques and business franchising just to name a few.

If we combine the knowledge of the East and West together, we can achieve success with more certainty. In a New York Times interview in 1994, billionaire Donald Trump commented: "Feng Shui is another element in which you can have the advantage over your competition...This is something we cannot ignore."

Top Ten Client Attraction Tips For A Feng Shui Website

Nowadays everyone in business seems to have a website, it's as obligatory as a business card and you won't be taken as an established business without one. So how to ensure that your site is as effective as you want?

Tip One: Who are your Ideal Clients?

Whether you pay someone to develop your site or do it yourself, you're still going to need to either write the words for the site or brief the website designer well so they can do it for you. You've got to get clear on just who you're writing to. Who are your ideal clients? You need to have developed a really clear picture of them, and an understanding of their problems.

Tip Two: Are you talking to me?

Your ideal client needs to know when they visit your site that you are talking to them. How are they going to know? Firstly, your site needs to talk about 'you' rather than 'we', and secondly, it needs to identify who it's aimed at.

For instance, have a sentence such as "Are you a woman who's fed up of relationships that don't last, and want to experience long term love?" or "Is there never enough month for your money, despite having a great job?"

Tip Three: How can you help me?

Far too many websites tell their readers how they do the things that they do, rather than focusing on how they can help them (which is what they're interested in).

So writing "Making alterations in your environment, based on the ancient art of Feng Shui, will bring your soul mate into your life" will encourage your reader to contact you far more than "Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of adjusting the environment to increase the chi".

Tip Four: I don't want to know too much!

The more explanation you give about what Feng Shui involves and how it works, the more opportunities you're giving your potential clients to come up against something that they see as an objection. If you were talking in person with them, I'm sure you'd be able to deal easily with that objection and reassure them. But with a website, you can't do that, and with one click of the mouse, they've gone. To avoid this, ensure you keep your focus on how they will benefit from working with you or buying your products.

Tip Five: What's all that about?

Don't include a lot of Feng Shui jargon in your copy, unless your ideal clients are fellow Feng Shui practitioners. Too much jargon is alienating to people who are seeking help for their problems, it can make them feel knowledgeable and inferior, and they'll go off in search of a less intimidating site.

Tip Six: Why should I trust you?

We like to buy from people we know and trust, rather than from complete strangers. One method of building your ideal clients' trust in you and your abilities is to have testimonials on your website. These work even better if you can include a photo or even a short recording from your satisfied clients.

Tip Seven: What do I do now?

Are you simply providing information at your site or would you like some further response from your ideal clients? You need to be clear, and to make it obvious on the site exactly what it is you want your ideal clients to do next. Do you want them to telephone you, or to send you an email? Spell it out for them.

Tip Eight: I wonder who they were?

Once your ideal client has clicked off from your site, they've gone - maybe they'll visit again, and maybe that's the last you'll see of them. To be able to maintain contact with them so that you can build their trust and your credibility with them, offer them a free report or eprogram in exchange for their email address.

Tip Nine: Help, I'm lost!

It's very discouraging for your visitors if they get lost amongst the pages of your website, and can't find their way back to wherever they want to go. To avoid this, check that the navigation of your site is simple and intuitive to use.

It's also important that your site looks visually appealing, in line with Feng Shui principles, and with as few fancy dancing logos as possible - they look pretty but can take a long time to load which might be irritating for your visitors.

Tip Ten: How can they find me on the Internet, there are so many sites?

When people search for a Feng Shui consultant on the internet, they probably will only click through to the sites on the first two or three pages that the search engine such as Google or Yahoo brings up - and often just the first two or three on the first page. So it's obviously important to be in that first two or three sites.

So how to deal with that? There are two approaches in my opinion to this question, dependent on how you've decided to do your marketing.

If most of your marketing is done person to person, for instance through networking or giving talks, the people looking for your site probably already know you or of you, and so your site is acting as your on-line brochure. In this case, it doesn't really matter how high your site appears on the search engine.

If however you've decided that you would prefer to minimize one to one marketing, (which becomes important if you want to shift away from the model of running a practice to that of running a business) then you're going to have to learn about keywords and how to get your site as high up the search engine listings as possible. This is called Search Engine Optimization, SEO for short.

Or hire someone who loves this type of work, and keep your focus on doing the work that you love and do best.

By following these Top Ten Tips, you'll create a great website, a wonderful channel for your ideal clients to find you.

Cubicle Feng Shui

Some offices design cubicles according to the principles of Feng Shui. The main purpose of using Feng Shui is to use the positive energy of the surroundings to enhance productivity.

If the entrance of the cubicle is not visible when working, place a mirror in a picture frame to reflect the entrance so that the people entering or passing by the cubicle are visible. For a little protection from behind, place a red sweater or a jacket across the back of the chair or for that matter even a red piece of tape will do. If one wants to use bagua, that is the map of Feng Shui in the cubicle, the door of the cubicle is to be used as the point of orientation.

One of the most basic cures for a workspace is to be sure that when sitting at the desk or computer, one is sitting in the "command position." The command position is a place where you can see the majority of the cubicle, including the entrance, and are out of line with the flow of chi, i.e. the natural positive energy. It is important to bring living and positive energy into the cubicle, this can be achieved by placing a few healthy plants in the cubicle and a fountain at the entrance. Always ensure that the work desk is clutter free. A desk lamp on the top left-hand corner of the desk can boost the finances. The telephone should be on the right-hand side, so that the people who call are more helpful. For left-handed people, the address book should be placed on the right for the same reason. The left-hand side is known to be the knowledge area, hence all reference books including dictionaries, tax law books, and encyclopedias should be kept on that side. People in the creative fields such as journalism or graphic design should have a rounded desk where as those involved in numbers such as accountancy should go for a rectangular desk with rounded corners.

Feng Shui tends to improve productivity. Doors and windows, cubicle walls, and furniture are also placed according to Feng Shui to bring in the positive energy into the workspace.
