Save yourself from bad luck

I wrote this as Feng Shui guidelines when the New Year began but these Feng Shui guidelines - most of them - are relevant always. They are basic Feng Shui. It is important to get rid of the old to make way for the new. It will create space for the news things. New things that can happen to you after you clear the space: new business, new love, new profession…something new in your life. Cleanse your house until it shines. It is a must. Sort out your things, belongings and items and check what you haven' t used for long. This applies as much to clothes as to the `junk` that gathers every year. During the course of my practice I have seen, among other things, bridal dresses and suits worn by the grooms 3, 4 and even 5 decades ago retained in the bags! Besides being pointless, the old clutter accumulates negative energy around it. It has to be sent to a `new` house. More important, gift the clothes you don' t use to someone who needs them more than you need them. This, besides being a good deed, will clear space for new clothes and – believe it or not – new things in your relationships. After this, you are ready for space clearing.

Light a red candle and your focal point should be to purify your home and to make it a place where you can recharge and rejuvenate yourself. Starting at the front door, move around your home in a clockwise direction with incense. Ensure that the smoke reaches the untouched corners and inside the closets and cupboards. This is purifying and cleansing. The atmosphere around you will feel cleaner. In the second clockwise round, take a bell and rings it in the same areas you covered with incense smoke. After completing the sound round, place a small amount of grocer' s salt in each corner of every room. Leave the salt for a day (24 hours) and then drain it in sink or washbasin. You will feel much better. Now you will be going with the flow, flowing with the tide that will bring happiness in your life. Ensure that the crystal cluster (if you have one) is rid of negative energy by immersing it overnight in detergent water, rinsing it and keeping it in the sun for while. Ensure that the wind chime is clean. You can immerse it in detergent water overnight and then rinse it before hanging it at the same (or different, if your consultant suggests) place.

Laughing Buddha, Dragons, three-legged toad, brass tortoise and other Feng Shui products too need to be cleansed. You don' t need to get them energized again.

As I always blend Black Hat Sect Feng Shui and the Compass School of Feng Shui with the Flying Star (Xuan Kong) Feng Shui there are a few, vital changes you must make in the new year. This will ensure that the Flying Stars don' t harm you. I have often written of Tai Sui (the Grand Duke of Jupiter), The Three Killings and the Five Yellows. These three change place every year. You should never sit facing the Grand Duke of Jupiter. Remember how Saddam Husain couldn' t be defeated when he was aligned with the Grand Duke' s direction during the Gulf War and how, like I had predicted, he has been finished! In the next installment I will write about the direction of the Grand Duke of Jupiter and where you should sit. The three killings can cause three different types of bad luck: wealth loss, ailments and disputes. And the Five Yellows can be disastrous if not taken care of. Though Feng Shui is not a healing science and no Feng Shui Master worth his salt will suggest placing a wind chime or crystal ball to cure a head ache (in fact, a large crystal placed close to someone not used to it can suffer from head aches!), Feng Shui of surroundings certainly has a role to play in the health of people. To put it simply, the harmony of elements and the positive energy (called Chi' or cosmic Qi) is important for good health. It has a direct relationship with the fungus and bacteria in the air.
The percentage of Chi' has a direct relationship with the percentage of fungus and bacteria. People operating from `sick buildings` or `sick apartments`, usually, suffer from fatigue, do not feel motivated, lack enthusiasm and as a result are failure in life. The students cannot concentrate and cannot focus. If a person with a high energy level spent a night on a bed in a `sick house` he will get up drained and find his energy level low. Besides bring the elements in harmony and opening the doors to attract Chi' and to retain it in the house, one can use Earth element to enhance the Health Luck. Earth is the ruling element of Health corner and placing it on a wall facing the T'ien yi ensures good health.
