Feng Shui News

In America it is not so uncommon to see a crucifix on a Catholic School or worn as a symbol of faith or fashion on a chain around the neck. Not so in Hong Kong.

Residents of one Hong Kong neighborhood were so distressed by the crucifix being erected on Marymount Primary School that they called several government officials for help. Apparently government officials did nothing because no law was being broken, so residents turned to Feng Shui Experts.

Sophie Lo added: "It is even worse at night. This cross makes the school look like a haunted house. It is so scary."

Creating Business Success with Feng Shui

Office Feng Shui

According to Feng shui (pronounced fung shway) experts, placement is key to business success. Placement of buildings, furnishings and even the clutter on your desk will bring either favorable or unfavorable effects based on the flow of energy in the universe call chi (pronounced chee) and on patterns of yin and yang.

"Wind" and "water" are the literal translation for the Chinese words "feng" and "shui." It is through wind and water that chi flows through nature and the universe. Chi should not be blocked but balanced so that any negative may be offset with positive adjustments.

The practice of Feng Shui techniques in the office will lead to a more comfortable workplace, happier staff, less stress, and increased business volume. Just ask Donald Trump who hired a fung shui master to work with his arcitectural staff. Read more about her at www.punyin.com

Tips for practicing feng shui in your business:

• Never sit with your back to the door. It symbolically leaves you open for surprise or attack.
• Keep your workspace clean and clutter-free in order to allow a free flow of feng shui energy throughout the room.
• Mirrors can be used wisely in your business. For example, a mirror
  hung by the cash register symbolises a doubling effect, thus it signifies the doubling of turnover.
• It is best to avoid an office building with reflective windows. Wealth and prosperity have a hard time entering a reflective building.
• Never get tempted to have your business name on a carpet or doormat, this is the quickest way to bankruptcy, you will basically have thousands off people stamping their dirty feet all over your business name.
• If possible, put your computer in the North or West area of your office to enhance your creativity.
