I am starting to paint our new home tomorrow and know almost nothing about feng shui, but am very interested…any good web sites?
well…since feng shui has nothing to do with luck…I am assuming you know nothing about it.
i am sorry but chinese fengshui is not as easy as most people think. there is no website that will give you free info that works. the closest you can get is get the book by eva wong on flying stars or lillian too on flying stars and 8 mansions.
fengshui is not about arranging the furnitures, or painting the house a certain color. it is more than those things. that is why, fengshui can increase wealth or improve your health in about 2-3 weeks – this is real fengshui. things posted on the web do not work that fast, because they aren’t about the fengshui concepts.
so what is fengshui like? well, there are many concepts, flying stars locate the good and bad areas in the house, then you use these to enhance your life. for example, you put the bedroom, living room and main door at the good areas/ direction; while the kitchen, toilet and stairs take the bad areas. then you position the stove, to attract more wealth into your life. you also use other concepts like 8 mansions to position beds, furnitures inside each room. then you use xuan kong da gua (another concept) to locate the doors in each of the rooms to make them healthy to the occupants. then you can also activate the current water star (flying star) to make the house financially lucky, and the current mountain star to make it more healthy for the people living in the house. this is fengshui.
Feng Shui doesn’t do anything. There’s no such thing as good or bad luck.
Responce: Who are you to assume anything? Feng Shui has plenty to do with luck. Arranging your room in a certain way supposedly brings forth good luck and other such things. I am not speaking specifically of luck. That is one of the many things feng shui is supposed to bring. It was an example.
generic feng shui advise is available in most homemaking websites. However, you have to remember that many factors are at play with feng shui, and the best thing to do would still be to hire a real feng shui expert to calculate an accurate chart for you and give you custom-tailored advise.
Yes, try Lillian Too’s advice. Her books are written so that Westerns can use the tips in their own homes. Very easy to understand.
I believe that everything on Earth is made up of energy and the theory of directing energy only makes sense. Alternative healing practices are working with energy.
Have fun painting!
The best book I ever read on feng shui was by a Karen Kingston, it’s called Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui, it’s not about where to hang wind chimes and frogs and stuff, but more about the psychology behind all the stuff in our lives. She also has a website at http://www.spaceclearing.com
I highly recommend it, my entire home was transformed after I read that book.
It really depends on what type of Feng Shui you want to know more of: the new age type (where everything is generalized, no calculations, etc) or the classical type (recognized individuality and solutions provided from calculations).
For a great primer and straight to the point article on how to get started with traditional feng shui:
