Bring Sping into Your Home this 2010 Chinese New Year!

January 24, 2010 · Filed under Feng Shui for Wealth, Feng Shui Rituals, General Feng Shui · Tagged , , , , , , , , ,

In my previous blog I talked about the absence of ‘spring’ this coming Chinese New Year! This means that there will be an absence of wealth luck because there’s no renewing of cycle.

I also mentioned that we could recreate Spring by inviting the Dragon into our home.

However, today, I would like to share another ritual that you can do to ‘invite’ Spring into your home thereby activating your wealth luck.

On Feb. 4, 2010 the day of the Lap Chun put flowers that signifies spring in your house. If you can get some Cherry Blossoms or Plum Blossoms that would work really well. However, it might be a little difficult to get them here in the Philippines, so instead you can use any flowers that you fancy and like, unless that flower happens to be a rose. In fact, you should make it a point that you don’t put any flowers that has thorns. Make sure you put these flowers in all sections/rooms of your house except the garage and toilet.

The more variety or color that you can have the better.

Then on the 13th put 7 different flower bulbs into a jar of water. Do this around 7am. Invite the energy of the sun by putting the jar outside of your house, and expose to the sunlight the whole day and night until 7am the following day, Feb. 14, 2010 that is the 1st day of the Chinese New Year!

Put a teaspoon of rock salt or sea salt into the Flower Water and sprinkle it around the house. This will bless and cleanse your house and imbue the power of Spring into your house.

Beautiful flower arrangements like the one in the picture which is specifically designed to show the beauty of spring are very powerful Feng Shui tool to signify that you brought in 'Spring' into your house.

Get some real Plum Blossom if you can.

Cherry Blossoms are the best. If its not available, any other flowers without thorns will do. Pictures are fine and will work as well but nothing beats the real thing.

Basic Chinese New Year’s Ritual to Enhance Feng Shui Luck!

January 21, 2010 · Filed under Feng Shui Rituals, Feng Shui Tools · Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sometimes we get too engrossed with different Feng Shui rituals or even with Feng Shui items or charms whenever the Chinese New Year is coming. However, there are some very simple Feng Shui ritual that we need to do so that we enhance luck and the positive chi of our house or lives.

1. DO A SPRING CLEANING!
Before Feb. 4 to before the Chinese New Year whichever comes first, we need to do a spring cleaning. Spring cleaning means we clean up all the dirt that I might have accumulated in our house. Throw away all the things that you no longer use. Things that are kept for sentimental reason should be hidden properly or should be displayed in a uncluttered area.

Make sure that there is not a single item in your house is broken or chipped, especially when it comes to your kitchenware or plates or glasses.

2. CHANGE YOUR WALLET!
Make sure you change your wallet every year, and make sure you don’t keep any unwanted or unnecessary papers inside your wallet.

3. BUY NEW CLOTHES!
Buy or get yourself a new set of clothes, this should include underwear. If possible buy a new pair of shoes and socks. If budget is a concern make sure you clean your shoes. Then wear them on Chinese New Year’s day.

4. HAVE A FENG SHUI CLEANSING BATH!
Take a Feng Shui Cleansing Bath or Shower! Light 9 red candles inside the shower room and take a shower. If you’re in the tub put 1 cup of sea or rock salt and mix it in the water and soak yourself for 10 minutes. If you’re in the shower, after rinsing your shampoo and soap, gently rub yourself with sea or rock salt and then rinse yourself with water.

Throw the red candle away. For different people sharing a single shower room make sure you have your own 9 pcs of red candle. Do not share. Make sure you do this before lunch time on Chinese New Year’s day.

5. THROW ONE OLD ITEM FROM YOUR LIVING ROOM AND GET A NEW ONE.
Make sure you throw one old item from your living room and get a new one. Try to make sure to replace the old item with somebody that ‘happy’ in nature, meaning it should be colorful.

6. RE-ENERGIZE YOUR FENG SHUI ITEMS.
Re-energize all your Feng Shui items. You can bring it to a Feng Shui shop and they may energize it for you. But I think the best way to energize it is to bring it to a Buddhist-Taoist Temple and pass it over the incense burner three times. I also do Feng Shui energizing ritual.

Another simple way to re-energize your Feng Shui items is to tie a red ribbon around it. Replace the ribbon whenever it gets dirty, but this is not meant to replace the more effective way of re-energizing your feng shui that are mentioned above.

7. LIGHT AN INCENSE!
Light an incense in all four corners of your property, outside the main door (gate or main door), and in all the rooms. Do this before 12 noon and preferably between 7 and 9 in the morning which is the Dragon Hour.

Do this ritual on Chinese New Year’s day or on February 4 whichever comes first.

Personally I like sandalwood for this ritual. If possible recite the Om Mani Padme Hum Mantra 108 times in each of the room.

5 Important 2010 Feng Shui Must Haves/To Do to Maximize Good Luck!

January 20, 2010 · Filed under Feng Shui for Success, Feng Shui Rituals, Feng Shui symbols, Feng Shui Tools, General Feng Shui, Love Feng Shui · Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

1. INVITE THE DRAGON INTO YOUR HOUSE!

In my previous blogs I mentioned about the fact that there is a total absence of the Water element in 2010 Feng Shui Bazi/Paht Chee chart. This signifies drying up of resources. However, as I always tell my friends and clients, it’s useless to know something if one can’t do something about it.

Dragon is also a symbol of luck and wealth. So one of the easiest way to address this concern is for us to invite the Dragon. The Dragon also combined with the Tiger and the Rabbit which both appears in the 2010 Bazi/Paht Chee Chart will signify Spring, which is also a wealth component.

First, if you can afford it, or if you know somebody that can help arrange it for you, it will be nice to have the Dragon dance in your house on Feb. 4, 2010. Why Feb. 4, 2010? That is because that’s the Lap Chun. (MORE ON LAP CHUN ON MY SUCCEEDING BLOGS.)

Invite the Dragon into your house thru a Dragon Dance on Feb. 4, 2010 to help bring wealth luck.

Because Chinese New Year this year happens after the Lap Chun w/c always happens on Feb. 4, this indicates that we will miss out on the Lap Chun, and missing out on a Lap Chun is a serious affliction that can cause strife and tremendous disagreements. This means a house that miss out the Lap Chun will find its residents experiencing strife and disagreements.

If you can’t afford to have the Dragon Dance it will also be nice if you place a Dragon Water Fountain in your living room. If you can place an image of the Yellow Dzambala under the water it will help further enhance your wealth luck.

Choose a Dragon Water Fountain that looks fierce but yet friendly. This one is has negative look.

2. MAKE THE DRAGON AN ALLY!
It will also benefit all of us if we’re to wear a Dragon pendant, be it either made of metal (gold), semi-precious stone like jade, or wood. But whatever happens avoid wearing something that’s made of plastic.

A word of caution. The Dog is in direct conflict with the Dragon as an animal sign but not as a Feng Shui symbol so even the Dog can wear a Dragon pendant. However, while all the animal sign can wear any Dragon pendant design they like, as long as its an image that makes them feel the yang or positive chi, the Dog should make it a point to only wear a small Dragon pendant to avoid too much yang Dragon energy.

Dragon Pendants made of metal, precious or semi-precious stones, wood are good but never use anything that's made of plastic. People born under the sign of the Dog should choose a smaller pendant.

3. CARRY OR WEAR THE WATER!
What do I mean by this? It will be nice if all of us can carry the water with us all the time. This can be easily done by simple carrying a small bottled water. We can even be drinking it. But if you don’t want the discomfort or the hassle of always carrying a bottled water, you can also come and see me and I can make a special Water Wealth Charm for you. This will have to be specifically design for you base on your birthday. This will include your wealth enhancing crystal and a Taoist Paper Amulet of a Wealth God.

Lillian Too also has designed a charm that she calls Blue Water Globe. I have only seen this in picture but base on the principle that it has a ‘blue water’ inside, I think it will be an effective tool to ‘carry the water’.

You can also ‘wear the water’ by always wearing blue or black. However, let me clarify that ‘carrying the water’ is far more effective.

4. TAKE NOTE OF HIGHLY PRESENT GOOD STAR AND ENHANCE THEM! There’s a very highly present good star this year and that is the Mentor Star.

Mentor Star basically indicates that although this year might be a little challenging when it comes to the wealth aspect, we will not be lacking people who would be willing to help, and a lot of growth in our life will come from people who may act as our teacher or mentor. To activate or further enhance the luck brought about by the Mentor Star it will be good if you can wear a Big Man Dzi Bead enhanced with Amethyst.

5. Take Note of the Appearance of a Negative Star or Neutral Star!
Most important of the five recommendations is to check and work on the appearance of a negative star and/or a neutral star.

This year we find ourselves confronting a special star which is called the Hostile Sword Star. This is brought about by the fact that the Heavenly Stem this Year with an intrinsically wood animal sign which is the Tiger. On top of that the Tiger appears twice in a highly metal year thus it created the Hostile Sword Star. This may bring about issues/concerns regarding our personal and family safety, career, personal and family health, wealth.

To counter the Hostile Sword Star, we need to wear a 9-Rings Sword Pendant made of gold. As mentioned in my previous blogs this could be very expensive, an alternative for this one is to wear a Tibetan Prayer Wheel pendant and/or Om Mani Padme Hum Pendant/Bracelet coupled with a Four-Faced Buddha. Among the three I prefer the 9-Rings Sword Pendant and the Tibetan Prayer Wheel more than Om Mani Padme Hum Pendant/Bracelet coupled with Four Faced Buddha..

Tibetan Prayer Wheels are powerful protection and luck/blessing enhancement charm.

Authentic and/or Good Tibetan Prayer Wheel can be a little pricey. But if you can invest on one it will surely be a good investment because it also serves as a very good protection charm.

Four-Faced Buddha is a popular deity in Thailand.

Another thing that we have to watch out for is the neutral star. Neutral Stars are star that have a potential to do both good and harm. This year we have the neutral Romance Star. As mentioned in my previous blogs the Romance may be beneficial to some people but it also maybe harmful. This is specially true for the people born under the year of the rat.

The Romance Star which brings internal romance to singles may also bring external romance to engaged or married couple. (TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ROMANCE, PLEASE REFER TO ‘2010 CHINESE ANIMAL SIGN GENERAL FENG SHUI FORECAST PART 1.)

For singles who wishes to enhance this luck you can wear Mandarin Ducks charm. For couples who wish to make sure that their relationship doesn’t get affected with the External Romance you can wear as a couple a 2-Eye Dzi Bead enhanced with Rose Quartz/Prehnite/Onyx/Black Tourmaline/Amethyst. If you’re already married aside from wearing the 2-Eye Dzi Bead you can also place an amethyst geode tied with red string under your bed.

Amethyst Geode with Red String is a very good cure for married couples who are experiencing problems with infidelity. Place it under your bed. If there's no hallow space under the bed place one on each side of the bed.
