FENG SHUI – BAD LUCK AT WORK THAT AFFECTS YOUR CAREER

Where do you look for solution when some aspects of your business are running out of steam?

It may not be your house Feng Shui that is bad but what is happening in your office. 

If you have a business and it is operating out of a business premise, you need to make a Feng Shui audit of the premise to check for any undesirable element that is causing the problems. Aside from the practical side of doing business, there may be other extraordinary factors that a rational mind is unable to fathom. This is when you need to look at the metaphysics side of your operation.

Based on Feng Shui principle, a premise is divided into eight palaces which are demarcated by compass directions. Each of these palaces represents an aspect of human life and aspirations such as creativity, public relation, intelligence, decision making, etc. Ideally, a premise should have ample space that allows qi or natural life energy to permeate all eight palaces. When qi can flow unhindered within the four corners of a palace, it is said to be flowing evenly. The occupants can benefit from its positive energy that will result in increased productivity and hence, a thriving business. 

However, when qi is not able to find its way around a premise because of clutter, tightness of space, dark corners or missing corners, it can result in a lethargic and unmotivated work force that is void of vigor and creativity. Staff tends to make more mistakes and relationship conflict is a frequent occurrence. Eventually, the business suffers for want of efficiency and service. In this scenario, a major renovation of the business premises in accordance to Feng Shui principles may be in order to rejuvenate business operations. Alternatively, a relook into the office spatial distribution based on Feng Shui principles may just be what is needed for business to pick up. 

A premise may have negative features in certain palaces that obstruct the flow of qi and what Feng Shui can do is to remove the root of the problem. Simple isn’t? However, before you do that, you need to know what constitute a negative feature in Feng Shui. 

The following are some examples of negative features inside or outside a palace:-

-          Overhead beams that protrude menacingly

-          Dark and damp areas that is void of sunlight

-          Cramp and cluttered space that restrict free movement

-          Trees or lamppost or T-junction in vicinity of the palace

-          A missing palace (a third of the sector is cut off due to poor office design)

If any of these features are found in or near a palace, certain aspects of the business operations are likely to experience setbacks that relates to the human aspects associated with the palace.

For example, if the north is affected by a negative feature, the activities that are likely to be negated are research, strategic planning, analytical work, etc. If the east is negatively affected, the people working in the area will find it hard to adapt and be creative. Relationship between co-workers is beset with arguments and misunderstandings. 

When you look closely at the problems that plaque your business, you may just find that one of the palaces in your premise is having a negative feature of the metaphysical kind. You can either consult with a Feng Shui master or DIY.

FENG SHUI –SELECTION OF A PROPERTY BASED ON COLOURS OF THE SOIL

Besides the types of mountain and hills, what can you look for when selecting a property in a locality with prosperity and posterity in mind? 

You should make close observation on the quality of soil that make up the land in the vicinity of the neighborhood. 

In Feng Shui, the natural environment we lived in provides us with life giving energy known as qi. It is the life force that sustains all living things on earth. From the highest peak of the mountain, qi flows along the natural contours of the land and makes it way down the valleys where water is located. It is carried by the wind and gathers at the boundary of water.

When you are looking for a suitable property to make your home, you should observe whether there is any mountain or hill around the area. If there is and it is lush with vegetation, you can tap into the qi that is strong and vitalizing. 

But if you would like to know what types of qi is available in the area, you can start by looking at what is below the ground. Qi flows on top and below the ground. Earth is a natural conductor of qi and naturally you can determine the types of qi it carries from observing the soil. The secret is in the color of the soil. To do this, you need to dig about 2 feet into the ground. First, pay attention to the texture of the soil. If it is soft and loamy (with a mixture of clay, sand and some decayed vegetable matter), it indicates positive qi and therefore good quality. Whereas if the soil tends to be rocky and pebbly (with mostly stones), it is not conducive for positive qi to take root. 

Secondly, by examining the soil’s natural color, we can determine the types of qi it contains. Based on Feng Shui concept, there are five elemental phases of qi namely, wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each element takes on a color. 

The following is a general guide as to what each color means in relation to the soil:-

• Green colored soil denotes wood qi and is associated with nobility, benevolence and growth
• Red or purple colored soil denotes fire qi and is associated with passion and spirituality
• Yellowish colored soil denotes earth qi and is associated with wealth and stability
• Pale white colored soil denotes metal qi and is associated with power and authority
• Black colored soil denotes water qi and is associated with intelligence and travelling.

BEDROOM FENG SHUI

A good night sleep is vital for health and alertness especially when you need to focus and be mentally active the next day at work. However, you may want to look at your bedroom and its surrounding features to make sure that it is conducive for a peaceful slumber.  

This is both practical and common sense to make a place of rest as comfortable as possible. You do not want any disturbance while you get ready for bed or during snooze time. At the very least, you should have a comfortable bed to rest your weary soul.

But what is pleasurable may not necessarily be good for you in Feng Shui speak. For example, a water bed may be a novelty for those who seek the finer things in life but it is not what Feng Shui would recommend. This is because water is Yang. The concept of Yin and Yang form the bedrock of Feng Shui and all Chinese metaphysics. Yang is opposite of Yin. It is like day and night, hot and cold, active and passive, loud and quiet, bright and dark, movement and stillness, etc. You can’t have one without the other. They co-exist and complement one another. The key is achieving an optimal balance between the two.

For a bedroom, it should be more Yin than Yang. It is a place that should be quiet and inactive. Feng Shui equates Yin with health/relationship aspects and Yang with wealth/career aspects. Water is Yang and for a water bed, it makes the bed too Yang. Imagine sleeping on a pool of water that is constantly moving. It is not a good Feng Shui feature. Your sleep is not going to be a restful one. Feng Shui does not recommend having a TV in a bedroom as it is also too Yang.

Other negative features that are too Yang for a bedroom:-

-          Too many windows or large windows

-          Too much sunlight streaming in during the day

-          A lamppost or electrical pole outside

-          A bedroom door that is aligned directly to the bed 

You should make sure to drape the windows with thick curtains to block out excessive sunlight. If there is a lamppost immediately outside the bedroom, you should keep the window closed at most times. The bed should be realigned away from the bedroom door and its headboard should rest against a solid flat wall for stability. A hill or mountain is a Yin feature. If it can be seen from the bedroom window, it is even better as it provides stability. Feng Shui favors a bedroom that is more Yin – calm, peaceful and stable. You should feel recharged and rejuvenated after a good night sleep.
