101. Is Bad Feng Shui Contagious? August 28, 2013 A client once expressed concern for the house she was buying because the seller’s adult grandchild had died, but not on the premises. Is it possible for someone’s house to have bad Feng Shui and then extend to family members who do not even live at that location? This is a plausible scenario, given that many other predictions like that can be made using the Xuan Kong Flying Star method. If we can determine when a person might have a certain problem, there is always a chance it could also affect someone who doesn’t live in the house. For example, if your house indicates a potential for c... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

102. The Role of Feng Shui Versus a Design Consultation August 28, 2013 The media, as well as poorly trained practitioners and authors, have done such a good job of misinterpreting Feng Shui, that many clients end up totally confused about why they have hired a Feng Shui consultant. I have experienced this myself, as well as fellow consultants, where we are sitting with the client trying to explain the cosmological significance of their surroundings, and the client just wants to know what color drapes to install in their living room. As the mutual frustration mounts, the client reveals that they are on the verge of re-decorating or remodeling their home ... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

103. How To Use Your Best Personal Feng Shui Directions August 27, 2013 Should you face your best personal directions or have your back to your best personal directions? Should you sleep with your head or your feet pointing to one of your favored directions? These are questions that many people have when they are first introduced to the Eight Mansion School, aka The East-West School. Everyone is born with certain preferred directions based on gender and birth year. This is a branch of Feng Shui which caters to whom is using the space, not just how the space is used. And you don’t just have one good direction. You have four good directions and four directi... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

104. The Feng Shui Terms Shen Qi and Sha Qi August 27, 2013 The word common to both terms shen qi and sha qi is “qi.” This word is sometimes written “ch’i” and is pronounced like “chee.” While qi is often described as “energy,” we learn in deeper studies of Chinese metaphysics that qi is beyond the concept of “energy” or we can say that energy is just one type of qi. For the sake of this article, we’ll allow for the word qi to be understood as a type of life force energy which can be subjectively categorized, in order to appreciate its countless manifestations. The term “shen” implies positive, life enhancing energy or influences. The term... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

105. What Is Yin House Feng Shui? August 27, 2013 In popular culture, many people are vaguely familiar with the Yin-Yang Symbol and some of its attributes, such as the yin darker side of the symbol relating to the feminine principle and the yang lighter side of the symbol relating to the masculine principle. In virtually all schools of Feng Shui, there is exploration into the many manifestations of yin and yang aspects to our lives and surroundings. All of Chinese metaphysics and Chinese medicine relate to Yin-Yang Theory uniquely, with a lot of overlapping observations and conclusions. Within the field of Feng Shui, we can label sp...

106. Powers and Benefits of Rudraksha Beads August 27, 2013 Their dielectric and magnetic properties initiate and effect positive change in our Neurophysiology. Uses or benefits of Rudraksha are many. Power of Rudraksha is felt on wearing it. Rudraksha is a bead, the seeds of the Rudraksha tree, found in plenty in India, Nepal and Indonesia. It is botanically known as the 'Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Roxb', but before it was botanically named and researches started to find out its properties, Ayurveda had considered Rudraksha as one of the major healing herbs, with no other herb to second it. Rudraksha beads contain large amounts of energy, which gi... (read more) Author: Acharya Kaushal

107. The Mysteries of Water and Feng Shui August 26, 2013 Much has been written about water in the scope of Feng Shui influences and yet the specific applications for water still elude the general public. This is because we have many theories in the Xuan Kong Flying Star School which need to be learned through actual training. Otherwise, someone might assume that a water feature, like a fountain or pond, is always a good asset to a property, which is actually not the case. In fact, someone could innocently place a water feature in an area that could attract crime or reduce the occupant’s financial potential. Every twenty Year Era as defined by...

108. Different Feng Shui Solutions for the Same Problem August 24, 2013 If three people with a stomach ache go to a doctor, they may get three different recommendations to deal with it. But even more important to note is that the cause of the stomach ache may be unique to each person. This reality might dictate if the medicine or cure would be different for each or not. As we know, sometimes the cure for a problem will be the same regardless of its origin. One person might have a stomach ache due to poor eating habits. Another might have a stomach ache due to lack of exercise and the inability to digest even healthy food if they have an allergy to it. Ano... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

109. The Real Feng Shui New Year August 24, 2013 Much to my surprise, I have discovered more than one famous Feng Shui personality who has incorrectly perpetuated the wrong Feng Shui New Year date. Contrary to popular belief, the Feng Shui New Year is based on a Solar calendar, not the Lunar calendar. The Lunar calendar vacillates from year to year by weeks, sometimes occurring at the end of January and sometimes in February. Feng Shui enthusiasts sometimes assume that the New Year will begin according to the Lunar calendar, but there is no excuse for a Feng Shui professional to get this wrong. There is one form of Chinese Astrolo... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

110. Tangible Side Effects from Construction Sha August 24, 2013 Internet articles abound at the beginning of each year with warnings and predictions about the “Tai Sui” and the “Sui Po” and the “three killings” directions to avoid. Some people look to the Chinese Feng Shui and Astrology calendars for more input about what they should be aware of for each year. In my own Annual Update reports for clients I let them know what parts of their home or business should not be remodeled or what directions could be irritated with landscaping or digging. What your neighbors do around you can affect your health and well-being as well. Some of these problem dir... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

111. The Feng Shui Money Bags Chain Letter August 24, 2013 Almost every year I receive a bulk email with a Feng Shui superstition attached to it. Some clients send it to me directly to get my opinion on it and if it is for real. Well, it’s not. It is also annoying and disheartening for me, as a serious practitioner, to see these mindless number games being passed off as Feng Shui edicts, when they are not, and they only perpetuate the tarnished image this natural science has had to endure. In 2011, there was a calendar being sent through cyber space, showing how a certain month had 5 Saturdays and Sundays in it and how this only happens ever... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

112. What Do We Mean By Qi Flow? August 22, 2013 Many a Feng Shui practitioner will assume that their client, or the audience they are speaking in front of, instinctually understands what qi flow means, as if it were a well-known phrase from the hippie era, as in “go with the flow.” We can break this concept down into two major categories, such as “good qi flow” and “poor qi flow,” but first let’s try to define what qi is. Qi is this elusive concept that often gets reduced to being described merely as energy. Qi is really beyond “energy,” and more like the supplier of energy. But we can settle with such definitions as energy, lif... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

113. How to Build a Home According to Feng Shui Principles August 22, 2013 Real estate Feng Shui can be applied not only to existing homes, but to those homes that are preparing to be built. Many homeowners today have decided to incorporate these principles into the building of their homes, taking many things into account during the process. When incorporating principles of Feng Shui into the building of a home, the first thing that is taken into consideration is the home site and its surroundings. Just as they say in real estate, it's all about location, location, location. Where the house will be placed on the land is vitally important in Feng Shui, for it wil...

114. Form School Feng Shui August 21, 2013 The term Form School may mean different things to different practitioners and it is used to describe observations made about both interior and exterior environments, and environments which are man-made or natural. We are profoundly affected by our immediate surroundings and Form School is part of many classical traditions. It goes hand in hand with other applications of Feng Shui that have to do with timing or personal compatibility. Form School may refer to natural landscapes such as mountain, hills, trees, and any body of water, from the largest of oceans to the smallest of streams. An... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

115. The Best Time to Make Feng Shui Adjustments August 21, 2013 In the 1990’s there was a catch phrase for Feng Shui, which was “the Art of Placement.” It would have been more accurate to say the “Art of Placement and Timing.” Some of the most powerful energies which are captured inside a building are the result of a marriage between direction (space) and timing, such as the year a building was built. Often, when I am advising a client, they have been suffering with some dysfunction in their living space or a work environment that has been in need of adjustments for a long time. They are all too anxious to make those changes as soon as possible.... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

116. How To Choose the Best Color for a Room August 21, 2013 Three times this week I had to de-brief clients who had gotten incorrect color advice for their homes either from the Internet or from a previous consultant. Naturally, it inspired this article where I will go over how a classical Feng Shui audit determines the best and worst colors to use. I should mention that many practitioners acknowledge that colors do not wield anywhere near the real power of actual elements. For example, blue and black color might resonate with the water element, but these colors can’t compete with real water when needed. There are also many practitioners who...

117. What Do Feng Shui Remedies Cost? August 21, 2013 This article is not about the cost of a consultation, which can vary quite a bit amongst practitioners; rather, the cost of common remedies, or adjustments made to a home or work space. Firstly we can consider the possible interior adjustments that are common, although not universal. Water is a common element to bring into a room for a variety of reasons, including resolving certain physical ailments related to the legs or feet. Other uses of water might have to do with increasing prosperity. Obtaining an interior fountain can range in costs from as little as $20.00 to hundreds of dolla... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

118. Accomodating Cultural Beliefs in a Feng Shui Audit August 21, 2013 What inspired this article topic was a recent project for a client in the Middle East. I noticed on the floor plan that there were two front doors and my hunch was that this might have to do with the client’s religion. Sure enough, this design of having two front doors on opposite sides of the facing wall was intentionally placed for men and women to enter the house separately. We know in classical Feng Shui that the door is very important as a gateway or portal to bring the outside energies and qi inside. In the design phase, we want to place the door in one of the best possible locations, bu... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

119. Feng Shui and Ancient Astronaut Theory August 21, 2013 One of the few shows on television to grab my undivided attention has been the History Channel’s series called Ancient Aliens. Even for the most skeptical individual, this is a very entertaining and engrossing way to learn more about science, history, astronomy, architecture, archaeology, religion, sociology and many other subjects. Most importantly though is how seamlessly the show connects all these topics. In Season Two of the series, the words “Feng Shui” were uttered in relation to an ancient practice called geomancy; in fact feng shui used to be called Chinese Geomancy in western a...

120. Genetically Modified Feng Shui August 21, 2013 When I first started consulting in 1992, the only controversial discussions seemed to be about so-called traditional Feng Shui versus the New Age inventions, such as the BTB School which flourished in the 1990’s and with headquarters in Berkeley, California. And if I can begin with my metaphor, it has been pretty hard to top the BTB School for the “most-genetically modified” rendition of this greatly misunderstood metaphysical practice. The acronym “BTB” stands for a series of words that actually cannot be put next to each other in articles on the internet, without risk of the article being b... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

121. Feng Shui Interprets Qi Flow Between Doors and Windows August 21, 2013 Feng Shui theory has some basic qi flow principles regarding the air currents which pass between doors and windows, but many consumers and novices misinterpret these principles. The shortest distance between two points may or may not be a straight line, but when there is an exterior door aligned directly with another exterior door, this can end up being a house where it is harder to save money. The concept is that the qi flow is unimpeded and will pick speed, escaping the structure before sufficiently nurturing it. Why is that? Mysterious as it may seem, qi (pronounced “chee”) can affect ... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

122. Feng Shui and the Flying Star 4 August 21, 2013 Before delving into the dual nature of the flying star 4, let’s first define quickly what a flying star is. This is a term used to describe a type of energy. This energy is created at the time a structure is built and once contained inside a house or building, the flying stars are a coded language for a type of magnetic field. The magnetic field unique to the structure endures and has a predictable influence on living beings who dwell inside. Going back to the origins of Feng Shui as a predictive art some 3,000+ years ago, the flying stars were derived from the astronomical influences an... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

123. How to Feng Shui a Warehouse August 21, 2013 There are many types of businesses and any structure with four walls and a ceiling can be assessed with a flying star chart. The Flying Star chart gives us an impression of what kind of magnetic field was established inside the structure, based on when it was built and what direction it is aligned. That magnetic field will have a powerful influence on all those who dwell inside. There is even speculation that inanimate objects, like the inventory, can be affected as well. This holds true for all warehouse spaces. When evaluating a business which is attached to warehouse space, usually m... (read more) Author: Kartar Diamond

125. Should You Put Red Color in Your Bedroom to Activate Romace? August 20, 2013 This question about buying a maroon comforter cover just came in to me from a long time client who I have instructed not to use fire colors in her bedroom when we did her initial consultation. Why would she be tempted to use this color, when advised not to? The answer is because there is a lot of generic information floating around the internet and in books, which states that red is the color of passion and romance. I do understand how people don’t want to feel like they are missing out on something great, like the superstitious money bags chain email that circulates the globe every now...
