Master Consultant and Master Practitioner Feng Shui from Mastery Academy, Institute of Feng Shui (WOFS) and Yap Cheng Hai Academy Asiri Wanigaratne answers some frequently asked questions:
1.How can I increase my luck in 2010?
The directions for good luck this year is the North West, the West, East and the North. You can always discover these directions in your home by referring to your house plan or by using a compass in the centre of your house.
Using the bedroom and the main door in these directions can increase your luck. Keep windows open and let in a lot of sunlight whenever possible into the house.
2.How can I increase education luck in 2010?
The North East is the direction that will bring the most education luck this year. Sleeping or studying in a room facing the North East would help and if your main door is in this direction it would bring educational luck to the entire household.If you do not have a room in the North East the second best direction is the West, the third best is the East.
Using a Pagoda Feng Shui symbol in the Northern part of the studying room could enhance educational luck as well. When going for an exam keeping a Tao Symbol in your pocket could increase luck as well.
3.Why do some years turn out to be unlucky for career opportunities and work?
This could be for several reasons. You could be sitting in your office facing the wrong direction. As directions for good and bad luck change every year, you will have to follow the direction that brings about good luck depending on the year. For 2010 the directions that can adversely affect your career would be the North East and the South - these directions can decrease your power and bring about many problems in the workplace.
4.In 2010 what sort of business should I do?
This year any business connected to metallic work is not favourable, i.e Engineering, electronics, hardware and gold oriented businesses should not be begun.
It is best to begin a business after going through your horoscope and seeing what best suits you. A Money Report can be made from one of our institutions to figure out the most suited career pathway for you.
5. The directions for good and bad luck this year, does they remain the same for all countries around the world?
It is the same for every country. The North West is good luck this year and in every country this remains the same.
6.Want to get married in 2010?
The best direction for marriage luck is the North this year. Sleeping in a bedroom facing the North or using a door in the North would improve this luck.
If you do not have a room or a door facing this direction hang a picture of the Peony Flower in the Northern part of the room you are sleeping in or in the northern part of your house. Also placing Mandarin Duck symbols in the North could help improve marriage luck.
Keeping ornaments of a single figure in the house is not advisable.
7.What about health luck in 2010?
Sleeping in bedrooms or using a main door in the South West and North East will decrease health luck this year.
The East is the best direction for improving health luck. Keeping windows open in the North and letting light come in could also help. If you don't have a room in the East, keeping a Medicine Buddha Mandala in any part of the house can help improve health luck.
8.Will Feng Shui practices I follow in my house affect my family abroad?
The Feng Shui we practise in our homes only affects those in that immediate circle and not beyond. Those living abroad have to improve their own luck. Sending Feng Shui symbols and information you know about the art would help them do that.
9.Does ill luck in the bedroom area affect family life?
Yes especially if there is water in the bedroom like water filters, fridges, fish tanks. This could lead to physical interaction between husband and wife to lessen.
If the couple is reflected in the bedroom mirror from where they sleep extra-marital affairs could develop. It is advisable to avoid keeping live flowers and plants in the bedroom as it is again bad for marriage.
Sleeping under a beam could result in ill health and marital problems. Having a cluttered space under your bed could result in a lot of mental pressure.
10.Is there bad luck from bathrooms inside a house?
In Feng Shui having many bathrooms in the house is not advised, the lesser bathrooms you have the better. Keeping them clean and keeping the commode closed at all times is best. When building a bathroom keep it small.
If there is a bathroom positioned directly above or facing the front door bad luck can increase.
