  • Never keep your Laundry to dry outside in the balcony at night.
  • Avoid using a "Box Bed" as you may wake up having a Backache/Tiredness. Instead it is better to have a regular "Bed" with four Solid legs so that "Qi" [Chi/Chee] is able to circulate under the bed.
  • Do not build a Swimming pool or a Water Fountain just about anywhere in your, Society Housing/Bungalow plot without consulting a qualified Feng Shui Practitioner. As a huge body of Water in a wrong place may bring misfortune and illness.
  • Always keep the paint work fresh & windows clean so that positive influences can enter.

  • Place two golden piggy banks in the West corner or a water fountain in the East corner of your house to enhance prosperity.

  • Beware! If there are any 'poison arrows', which come from edges of buildings, roof apexes, lamp posts, telegraph poles, bus stops, hospitals, doctors' clinics, graveyards, undertakers, or dentists, within the immediate vicinity of your house or if they project into your house, take protection from them by hiding them with a tree, or clump of bushes, or better still Bamboo. Bamboo is very magical in Feng Shui. Its name in Chinese means 'Heavenly Blessings'.
  • Do not construct a house with low ceilings. When the ceiling is too low, it may suppress the body's chi, and the occupants will tend to feel stuffy, dizzy, unfocused, and functioning as if they are half awake. In such cases put up a large mirror on the wall to give the room a more spacious appearance and bring in more light.
  • Never have exposed beams in the master bedroom, as they are a source of negative energy.
  • If a front door and a rear door face each other, the best thing to do is to keep at least one of them closed at all times. You want to avoid a rush of Chi straight through the house.
  • When buying/constructing houses try to ensure that the house is open in the front, with an open area, allowing energy to enter.
  • Do not keep a stove or a hot element in the centre of the house, as it causes the family to feel stifled and cause arguments.
  • Do not have a steep driveway leading up to your front door.
