Feng Shui Article 1
Are You Correctly Located and Faced For Prosperity?
The title of this article may sound a little strange. What did I mean by
located and faced for prosperity?
I must warn that this is not a typical business article. It has nothing to do
with marketing, sales, productivity or even the internet.
It is about a branch of Chinese Metaphysics called Feng Shui. Feng Shui, which
literally means "Wind Water", is an ancient meta physical science that studies
how our surroundings can support us positively or negatively in our pursuit of
our endeavors.
Business tycoons in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other parts of the world where there
is a significant Chinese minority pay a lot of money to professional Feng Shui
practitioners to help them get it right.
In this article I will show you how you too can apply Feng Shui to support your
endeavors. Feng Shui is a very large subject with many systems and practices.
I will get you started with a very basic but effective Feng Shui formula called
the "Eight Houses". In this system, all of us have a Kua number which is derived
from our date of birth and sex.

Depending on our Kua number we are further classified into one of two groups
namely the East or West group. If your Kua number is 1,3,4 or 9 then you are a
member of the East Group and if your Kua number is 2,6,7 or 8 then you belong to
the West group.
For the East group, the favorable directions and sectors are North, South, East
and South East while for the West group the directions and sectors are North
West, South West, West and North East.
How do you apply this?
If you are a East Group person, you should try to occupy a room in the favorable
sector of your office and home. For an East Group person this is either the
N,S,E or SE sector.
Once you have found your favorable sector you should then orientate your desk to
face one of these favorable directions. Once again they are North, South, East
or South East.
If you are unable to find a room in your favorable sector, you should at least
ensure that your desk is facing a favorable direction.
That's it.
What are the benefits of facing your favorable directions? According to the
ancient classic, you should expect to encounter more money making opportunities,
better health and relationships.
But what if you do not? What if you encounter nothing? Why? According to Chinese
philosophy, your luck is dependent on a combination of your destiny, luck cycle,
Feng Shui and the human factor.
So if you are going through a favorable luck period, maybe nothing will happen,
but if you are going through a bad period, then you can expect to face monetary
losses, poor health, bad relationships, accidents and break-ups!
What about sleeping? Should you sleep and face one of your favorable sectors and
directions? The answer is yes but the facing is based on the crown of the head.
Let's say that you want to face North. You should then sleep in a North-South
axis with the crown of the head pointing North and the feet pointing South.
Is that all there is to Feng Shui? Of course not but if you do what I have
prescribed above, you have taken the first step to using Feng Shui (or the
energy of the environment) to support you endeavors.
All the best.
