5 Most Popular Feng Shui Myths: Is the Feng Shui Door always Red

July 1, 2014 by Master Simona

As any Traditional Feng Shui Master will tell you, all you really need are the five basic elements– fire, earth, metal, water, and wood– to change the energy field of your home or office if it has bad Feng Shui. This is supposing that you’re not planning to remodel or do any new construction. If you are, you can plan it all in advance and perhaps not even need all of these five. The goal of a good Feng Shui Master is to incorporate the correction without anybody noticing, but the benefits will affect the occupants subtly and efficiently.

Paradoxically, the information pool available on-line or on the bookstore’s shelves are full of so-called “experts” calling out for all sort of “remedies” which really have nothing to do with real Feng Shui. This is what we call Feng Shui Myths.

Let’s check out some of the most popular myths:

Feng Shui Myth #1. RED DOOR. The idea of the red door is that red (a substitute for the fire element) will always bring good luck, so it must be on the door to bring good luck in from the entrance. WRONG!

In most cases the color red serves as an enhancer, and by putting it randomly by or on the door all you’d do is enhance any energy that is in that area. Statistically speaking, less than one in ten houses will benefit from having the fire element located at the entrance. More likely, if a household is experiencing problems, there is a good chance that the door be located in an area that does have a problematic energy. Adding red is only going to increase this problem, not take it away. So, do not paint the door red unless so advised by a trusted consultant. (I have dedicated a whole article to the Money Door and you can find it under the category “Feng Shui House”)

Feng Shui Myth #2. HANGING CRYSTALS FROM THE CEILING. They started out being real crystals and then ended up being simply lead crystals. For how pretty they may be, they are absolutely not related to Feng Shui, whether natural or synthetic. They’re usually recommended to remedy a “bad design shape” or a “posing arrow” (pointing corner), but in reality they have absolutely no power to do so. While real natural crystal will effects your so called “subtle” bodies in a very light manner, it is often not enought for correcting the effects of bad Feng Shui. The size of a building is much bigger and the movement of energy caused by a design feature will not change by hanging any crystal, big or small, real or synthetic, in it. You need to address the matter for what it is and use designer solutions to correct the problem. So save your money on the crystals, specially the synthetic ones, which are definitely a myth.

Feng Shui Myth #3. WATER AT THE ENTRANCE. This is a confusing Feng Shui myth becasue there is actual truth in it. Water can be very powerful to create more financial success in a building. I have seen it done so many times, but the location of the water really depends upon the characteristic of each specific building: sometimes it is in the front, but, in many cases, surprise– it could be in the back or even in one of the corners. It’s use is also sometimes temporary and sometimes permanent. To install an external water feature could be quiet expensive and requires quiet a bit of maintenance, so if you want one make sure you place it in the right spot.

Feng Shui Myth #4. FU DOGS. It’s not the animal represented that does the trick, but the element they’re made of. Those “ugly” twin dogs that look like lions were originally made of solid bronze– a.k.a. metal – which is the reason why they were so effective as Feng Shui corrections for eliminating problems. The modern counterpart– usually made of plastic or clay – have absolutely no effect. So if you do want to use Fu Dogs, make sure they’re made of the real element for the most effect.

And the number one myth of all:

Feng Shui Myth #5) FENG SHUI MIRRORS. Books are redundant about using mirrors to attract good energy and reflect away bad luck. But a piece of news: mirrors aren’t that smart to know which energy you’d like to attract and which you’d like to reject. This myth comes from the old days when mirrors were solid heavy pieces of polished metal. Back in those days the Feng Shui Master would visit a house and suggest to place a mirror here or there. But what was being effective as a correction was not the reflectivity of the mirror but rather the metal element it was made off (like the Fu Dogs above). Obviously, “charlatans” Feng Shui Masters wouldn’t know this nowadays. So do not choose any Master who uses a lot of mirrors.

Feng Shui Year of the Horse – Warning: June 2014 is Fire Month in a Fire Year

June 4, 2014 by Master Simona

This year of the Horse is plugging along and it is finally starting to feel like it. A genuine Yang-Fire year. After slow beginnings in February and March, the Yang-Fire energy of the Horse has kicked in full blast and it is still rising, getting ready to peak soon in June. So, in this Feng Shui Year of the Horse, we’ll have Fire month in a powerful Fire Year. It is all we needed to get unstuck from last year energy, as we previously discussed in my yearly forecast earlier this year.

Just a cautionary note however: as we enter June – which in the Chinese calendar is also the Horse month and starts on June 6^th this year – the already powerful Horse energy of the year it is going to be further increased by the Horse month. Meaning the intensity of the Yang- Fire year is going to be double by the Yang-Fire of the month, and it will reach a couple of high points during the month, coinciding with the Horse days.

While we are tempted to think that if one is good, two or three must be better, the old wisdom of Feng Shui, particularly of Yin and Yang, warn us: when something is TOO MUCH can cause disasters. And so, because the Horse year is the strongest, when paired up with the strongest Fire month and the strongest Fire day it is NOT good news.

How should we handle this difficult month?

In general, postponing all the important things until past July 7 is a good idea (after which the month of the Horse ends and the month of the Sheep begins).

Depending on your date of birth, you maybe more or less adversely effected by this combination. So here are my suggestions in general and for the most effected signs:

1) People born in the Year of the Rat or the Horse should be particularly careful. With the exceptions of a few, most people born in these sign are most effected by this year and month on multiple aspects of their lives.

2) People born in the Monkey and Rooster year (Metal), or with an abundance of Metal elements in their charts, should also be careful, as Fire melts Metal and so the energy of the Year and month can prove difficult on a health level.

3) Anybody who’s not sure about their personal chart: take everyday easy, one step at the time, day by day. If you notice things are very hard like swimming upstream, postpone important things till after July 7, after which the month of the Sheep will begin.

4) For everybody: avoid leaving fire elements – like candles, fireplace or fire pit – unattended. Since the Fire is strong this month, it can easily get out of hand, increasing the potential for fire disasters.

5) Also, due to Yang-Fire nature, people patience may be short this month. Or shorter then usual. Be patient in all circumstances and try your best to avoid any bad mood escalation. They can have real, long lasting consequences way past this month.

6) If your house faces North or South: avoid ANY kind of construction in your building or surrounding property. Ideally, waiting until past next Chinese New Year (2015) is preferable, but if you MUST have it done now, waiting until June has passed will be preferable. If you MUST have it done before then, I suggest you seek the consult of a Feng Shui expert to help you choose a day in the month that is going to mitigate the effects of this intense combination.

Feng Shui for Real Estate Investments

May 28, 2014 by Master Simona

I recently did a consultation for a large apartment complex in Alhambra. In this particular case my “client” was the whole investment company who had just bought the complex rather than an individual client occupying only one of the units (as a tenant). Concerned about the predominant presence of a strong Asian community located there, my investment company client wanted to ensure that all “cultural requirements” were addressed during the renovations of the entire property (which included four buildings and 162 units in all).

Is the Feng Shui for Real Estate Investments properties important? The answer is a big “Yes!”. In fact, the potential earning are effected by the quality of the building’s Feng Shui. In brief, good Feng Shui equals good ROI, poor Feng Shui equals poor ROI.

Why so? In your specific, immediate, day-to-day interactions your primary residence plays a key role. However, when you acquire a property and you are planning to derive financial income from it, the Feng Shui of that property is also just as important in effecting your renters or buyers.

If it is rental space (residential or commercial alike), making sure the property is good for financial prosperity will assure that your tenants will always be able to pay their rent (to you). In addition, experience shows us that buildings with good Feng Shui need less maintenance because things don’t break down as much (saving you, the landlord, money).

If the property is good for people’s wellness, your tenants will feel very comfortable in the space and will stay longer (minimizing your turn-over). Moreover, when these tenants leave, the amiable energy of the property will naturally attract more tenants faster than if the property wasn’t good.

If the property being developed are condos – hence for sale, not lease – a good Feng Shui will attract a larger number of buyers because of their superior energy. Also these properties tend to sell for a higher value (then those with poor Feng Shui) and seldomly foreclose or short sale.

Would you say that these are all valuable benefits for an investment property?

I have come to think of it as the ultimate win-win solution.

In my long career as a Feng Shui Master I have consulted numerous times for people looking to rent new spaces for both apartments and business opportunities, and invariably the properties that get “stuck” staying vacant are often bad for people’s wellness and/or finances. And what does a “typical” building manager do when there are vacant spaces in their building? They lower the rent to keep all the units occupied, calling it a “special offer.” Which in the end results in loss of income for the landlord. Sounds like standard practice, right?

However, it doesn’t solve the underlying problem of the building itself, and so though people do move in, they then either aren’t happy there or run out of money– and end up moving right back out. Which also results in a loss of income for the landlord. This is a standard Feng Shui problem.

So, what did I do for my current investment company client to ensure this does not happen to them?

I gave them some sound Feng Shui recommendations on how to enhance the property overall from a Feng Shui perspective to raise the energy of all four buildings using colors, materials, water, and some minor structural improvements that will ensure not only the wellness of their occupants, but also the success of this particular investment. And if they pair this up with a good marketing team, I expect units in this complex will never be vacant for long.

Foreclosure Home: How to Turn it into a Good Feng Shui House

May 14, 2014 by Master Simona

The market is right, the financing is available, and you are ready to buy your dream home. How can you make sure you are buying a great Feng Shui House?

Considering the current real estate situation, to have good Feng Shui or bad Feng Shui can make a significant difference in how fast or slow the process goes. This doesn’t mean that a good Feng Shui house can sell significantly above its market value (although most times they do because they naturally attract more people), but it will sell faster than those with bad Feng Shui.

Those on the market for a long time are those needing most “fixing.” The good news is that fixing can be done BEFORE or AFTER the sale. This is the purpose of Feng Shui: fix properties that have bad Feng Shui and make it good. Since most houses are NOT designed following Feng Shui principles, they need improvements. Some more, some less, but they all do.

This leads us to the crucial question: how safe is it to buy a house in short sale or foreclosure? And HOW do we buy a property that isn’t going to be bad for us?

The answer is: you really do not know for sure unless you take a qualified Feng Shui Master with you when scouting for property.

Only a well-trained Feng Shui Master can evaluate the property accurately and recommend effective corrections so that you won’t have the same problem as the previous owners. I suggest having the visit BEFORE acquiring the property so that you’ll be able to evaluate the extent of the improvements necessary to turn it from bad to good (and decide if it is worth it, or if it is better for you to move on to the next building – which may still be foreclosing, but may need less expensive improvements).

I know all too well the emotional attachment that people can feel towards a property they like, especially if it comes with a VERY convenient sticker price. For many years I have conducted pre-purchase and pre-lease consultations with clients who knew the advantages of following my recommendations-– or the disadvantages of not following them.

So, in this vastly populated market, how do we know what’s good and what’s not?
The rule of thumb in the past has ALWAYS been, “If a house is in foreclosure it means it has some deeply rooted Feng Shui problems.” Such problems have caused the previous owners to be vulnerable (to the state of the economy, poor decision making, drop in income, divorce, fatal health issue, you name it) so that their Qi (personal energy) hasn’t been supported and/or neither has their livelihood.

I often heard it referred to as the “previous owner’s curse” and prospect buyers would shy away from buying a real estate property fearing the “bad karma” created from purchasing a house where somebody else had suffer a misfortune (i.e. a foreclosure). As romantic as this notion may seem, people’s energy can be released from a building very easily. That’s not the real problem.

But mostly the reason of the misfortune is rooted in Feng Shui problems, and if not addressed they will still effect occupant after occupant until they are corrected. When corrected, the house is now turned into a good Feng Shui house where you will live comfortably and successfully, and will be easier to sell when you decide to.

There are a variety of situations-– some problems are caused by the design, some by the orientation, some by the lay-out– and addressing each individually is difficult in a short article such as this. The solution can be as simple as switching the bedrooms, using more appropriate colors (they really depend on the year of construction of the building), or as complicated as doing some structural renovation (luckily this last option is extremely rare). It really depends on what you’re starting with. The same idea applies to any kind of building, commercial or residential. That is why a well-trained Feng Shui Master can assist you in making more informed decisions and a better investment.

In any case, if you’re planning to buy a house that has been foreclosed on (or a business that is in trouble), I REALLY suggest you also plan to budget for Feng Shui improvements. Buying a new property is a big investment, so you should think of Feng Shui as your helper to make it a good, productive investment. In the long run, Feng Shui will save you a lot of money and aggravations.

The end of Yin, the begining of Yang

February 17, 2014 by Master Simona

Has 2014 started yet?

February 5th marks traditionally the beginning of spring in the Feng Shui calendar: literally translated it is the “end of the Yin and the beginning of the Yang”. This is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.

This is also the point when the energy of the previous year has completely exhausted and the energy of the new year really begin effecting us. Remember that this doesn’t happen overnight: it begins on February 5th and builds up in power as Spring weeks progress. As you have seen in my yearly forecast, this year of the Wood Horse it is expected to be a big improvement over last year, but the change doesn’t seem to want to come easy.Truthfully, last year energy and this year energy are so different, almost polar opposites in terms of Feng Shui, that the shift is bound to be felt by most.

Many have reported a sense of exhaustion and disassociation.

This is happening not because the New Year has a low energy, but rather because we are suddenly become aware of how hard the last year it has been and how much effort it has taken to plow through it day after day.

It is rather typical that it would take a while into the new energy to recover from several months of low, depleting energy. So if you are experiencing that, it is a clear sign that your awareness is been restored, which also means your own energy is getting better and sharper.

All of it will be faster and easier if you have applied the many Feng Shui recommendations we provide in our classes and consultations of course, because it is the main concern of the Authentic, Scientific Feng Shui that we teach in our classes and in our consultations to harvest the best energy in a building for the well-being of its occupants.

And this is all the more necessary when we need to replenish after a long, difficult time.

Take advantage of this new flow of positive energy to set your offices, your stores, your businesses and your house to be naturally supported by the life-force energy of the New Year and to support you through the next twelve months. Our classes on Feng Shui for Office and Feng Shui for the House are currently available live and in video here.

Our Professional Feng Shui programs for Interior Designers, Architects and aspiring Professional Feng Shui Consultants are also available this spring live and in video format. Check them out here.

Bad Feng Shui Office for a Good Business

February 7, 2014 by Master Simona

A good Feng Shui Office is the key to Feng Shui for Business success. I never saw a bad Feng Shui office leading to a successful business. Rather the opposite.

I was in Diamond Bar last week for an Asian business owner looking to relocate his national business headquarters to an upscale area. He really liked the prospected building, especially the fact that other big and famous companies were in the process of just moving in as well, and so he felt good about joining them. However, he had some concerns about the “space” per se’.

As part of my prep work I was sent a floor plan of this particular space with the client’s specifications on how it was going to be laid out. As soon as I saw the plan I frowned too. The space had a large chuck missing, an entire corner actually, which gave the remainder of the space the shape of a triangle.

Those of you who have been my students already know where I am going next just by saying this… but for those of you who haven’t been one of my students, a triangular shaped building is often undesirable because the internal layout will cause the Qi of the space to be very unstable. It is definitely not (if ever) desirable, especially for a Feng Shui business or a proper Feng Shui Office.

In addition, when such a large portion of a space is missing, particularly if it is a good portion—like in your money area or your career advancement area—then it is really bad news because your business will not be benefiting from those. And the scary thing is if these sections are not there, as a Feng Shui Master, I cannot boost them up for you. These sections should be physically present for me to make them work to your advantage and increase your business and financial success.

These kind of buildings—where the money section or the career advancement section are missing—are especially undesirable because ultimately there is nothing that can redeem them. These are not good Feng Shui offices. And not just for my client, but in this instance, for anyone leasing spaces in that same building. You will recognize these buildings because they have a lot of turn over. Since the renters are not doing well, they’ll leave as soon as the lease expires (usually 5 years) and downsize or be forced to move to a less expensive area because they have suffered big losses.

When we first visited the space my client was a bit surprise from my analysis because they really, really liked the space. But when they realized that ALL the spaces in the entire building were recently occupied by new tenants (because the previous occupants had either gone out of business or downsized) they quickly retraced their steps.

As an alternative, I was asked to do an analysis of their existing space (of which their lease was about to expire) which turned out to be comparatively superior. Hence, they decided to stay in the existing facility, renegotiate a good deal, and renovate the current building instead of moving. Now my work is to help them make this existing building more Feng Shui compliant—taking full advantage of their money section and career advancement section—which were only being partially used at the time of my consultation.

I have no doubt their business will increase after the changes, it always does. I’ll keep you posted on that.

3 Feng Shui Tips for Chinese New Year

January 30, 2014 by Master Simona

2014 Year of the Wood Horse

As per my live presentation few weeks ago, Friday January 31st is when the New Chinese Year kicks in. Between then and the Spring Stand (February 5th), the old energy of 2013 will leave completely your house and the new energy, 2014 Wood Horse, will start effecting your life.

Here are some quick tips on how to attract as much of this new energy as possible.

1) Old, broken or unused got to go: everything in your life that is irreparably broken – objects especially – need to be repaired of discarded. Appliances, clothes, furniture, car, old papers are “breaking” your energy every time you attempt to use it and can’t. So if they cannot be repaired, they need to be replaced with working ones. I know you think is not that easy, but as I am typing this, I am actually clearing all my file cabinets in my office. Easy? No! But it feels great when it is done and you’ll experience your energy raising exponentially as you make your way to the garbage bin.

2) Early Spring Cleaning: after removing any broken or unused object it is time to do a good spring cleaning. I am not going to be to particular about this. If you are very neat and want to do the proverbial toothbrush cleaning go right ahead. If you do not have a time and you want to do a vacuum-dust off cleaning that is fine too. No matter what, as you do it, you are cleaning AND shaking the energy in the space, allowing it to flow more. And because you have make space by getting rid of old stuff, that will have a “vacuum” effect in attracting new 2014 energy to fill up the space. As I am also experiencing it right now, I promise you’ll feel the difference immediately.

3) Rearrange your furniture: Everybody’s house is different. I just turned the room from where I broadcast my classes around to have better concentration with my students this year. As I have explained in my live presentation, different “energy” are going to occupy different areas this year and so you can rearrange the furniture to spend more time in the section of your house with better energy. I need to refer you again to that video because it address them all in details.

Have fun and enjoy bringing in more luck for 2014!
