Feng Shui Tips on Career
It is inevitable that everyone has to earn his/her own living, unless of course one has been left a fortune of millions or billions. Everyone wishes for a good and stable career. However things can go very wrong (as they do sometimes) when we least expect them to. Feng Shui has some remedies for enhancing career luck and to keep it that way.
 |
Find out your Kua number and your 4 best directions. Locate your 'Sheng Chi' direction and sleep with your head pointed in this direction. |
|
If your career is going nowhere, changing the position of your main door to face your personal 'Sheng Chi' direction might be of help. Stand inside your house at the door looking out to determine the directions. |
|
If you have your own office, place your desk accordingly so that it faces your 'Sheng Chi' direction. |
|
Do not sit with your back to a window or a door. These features give you no 'support' for your back and you might be backstabbed or double-crossed by colleagues. Look out for any poison arrows directed at your back, caused by open shelves or sharp edges. |
|
Find a painting of mountains (without any water feature such as lakes or oceans) and place it behind your working table. |
|
If possible keep some terrapins in your office. Place potted plants to camouflage offending pillars that send out poison arrows. However be sure to take good care of the plants so that it does not wither and die. Crystals also make good remedies for such problems. |
|
According to the 8 Life Aspirations, North represents career. The element of North is water and the color is blue. In the North section of your home or office, place a metal wind chime. But remember not to place anything that represents the Earth or Wood element in this section. |
|
Be aware of your bedroom. We spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping so it is important to note the features in our bedroom. Watch out for features that cause dangerous 'shar qi' (killing breath) that may affect your well-being. |

Feng Shui Tips On Education
Education is a lifelong pursuit. We never stop learning and growing even when we leave our school days far behind. As Helen Keller said, "Knowledge is love and light and vision." Feng Shui can help transform average but hard working students into high achievers. Full potentials can be met and hidden abilities discovered. Below are some Feng Shui points designed to aid students (and working adults) academically.
|
Find out your Kua number and your 4 best directions. For example, if you have the Kua number 3, your 'Sheng Chi' direction is. Sleep with your head pointed in your 'Sheng Chi' direction. |
|
Change your child's sleeping position so that his/her head points to his 'Tien Yi' direction. Position your child's table so that he faces his 'Tien Yi' direction while studying. |
|
Beware of 'shar qi' (killing breath) directed at you or your child in the bedroom. Poison arrows triggered off by protruding corners and sharp edges cause 'Shar qi'. This will cause illnesses and uneasiness and leads to distraction in a whole. Soften the effect of poison arrows by placing soft material and crystals. |
|
Do not let your child sleep or study in a room located above a garage or below a toilet. This will cause his mind to wander and distract his studies. |
|
According to the 8 Life Aspirations, education and knowledge is located in the Northeast section. The element of Northeast is Earth and the color is beige. In this section of your house display some symbols representing the Earth element, such as pottery, porcelain and clay items. |
|
If the Northeast section is missing from your home, you can apply the above step to your own or your child's bedroom as well. Quartz crystals are strong attractors of the Earth element, so place some on a decorative table in the corner as well. |
|
Hard work and patience never hurt anybody. Be diligent in your studies or work and you will achieve something in no time at all. |
