Cheaper ways of feng shui

1) Feng shui that does not cause a single cent at all:

a) Clearing clutter- helps to refresh the chi in the house.

b) Sit facing and sleep with head pointing to your auspicious directions.

c) Do not sit/sleep under toilet/bathroom.

d) Do not sleep with feet pointing towards door.

e) Do not share a wall with toilet/bathroom when sleeping.

f) Always sit/sleep with solid wall/background.

g) Do not sit with door at the back.

h) Use an auspicious door for entrance (ex: If your house have two entrances, choose one that is better accoridng to kua number. (west group people should use west-group doors (W,NW,NE,SW) while East group people should use east group door (E,SE,S,N).

i) Do not eat too near the main entrance (wealth tend to seep away)

j) Remove mirrors from bedroom

k) Do not place auspicious objects, water, books, food under staircase.

l) Place stove with its mouth facing auspicious direction

m) Do not place water beside or directly opposite the stove.

n) Do not place fridge beside or directly opposite the stove.

o) Place tv set/stereo at W/NW sector

p) Do not sit/sleep under overheadbeam

q) Wish list- write down your wish on a paper, sign it 49 times each day and burn it (do it for 49 days)

r) Change your signature into auspicious signature (begin with upstroke and end with upstroke).

s) Not enough money to buy feng shui books? Spend some time and read it at bookstore instead (but I personally prefer to have a few collections such as flying star and four pillars for reference).


2) To overcome annual afflictions:

a) 5 yellow- if you can't afford to buy 6 rod hollow metal windchime, use 6 I-ching coins tied with red/gold ribbon instead to hang it at 5 yellow area. I-ching coins are cheaper than windchime.

b) Three killings- If you can't afford to buy 3 Chi Lins to combat the three killings, just make sure that you do not sit with three killings at your back.

c) Grand duke jupiter- If you can't afford to buy the brass Pi yao to appease the grand duke, buy the one made with resin instead. If you really do not have money, just make sure that you do not sit facing the grand duke jupiter (Tai Sui).


3) Cheaper ways to enhance wealth:

a) Sit facing and sleep with head pointing to sheng chi direction

b) Place three I-ching coins tied with ribbon and place it in wallet/purse.

c) Flying star - place water feature at water star 8. If you can't affor to have the rotating crystal ball or aquarium, hang painting of fishes instead. You don't have to buy the painting, browse into internet, print it out and enlarge it. It is much more cheaper than buying oil-painting. But if really do not have money, place moving objects such as electrical fan at water star 8.

d) 8 pa kua aspirations- Place plants at SE to enhance wealth. If you can't afford to buy plants, get it from roadside (hehe..just joking, not auspicious to steal), you can grow the plants instead. Buying seeds is cheaper than buying grown plants.


4) Cheaper ways to enhance health:

a) Sit facing and sleep with head pointing to health/Tien Yi direction.

b) If you can't afford to buy big wu lou, buy a small one instead, wear or carry it along wherever you go.

c) 8 pa kua aspirations- Plants at E to enhance health. Again, if you can't afford to buy plants, grow your own plants instead.


5) Cheaper ways to enhance love:

a) Sit facing and sleep with head pointing to nien yen/love direction.

b) Activate SW corner- If you can't afford to buy lamp, use candle lights instead to light up the area.

c) Mandarin ducks at SW- If you can't afford to buy the crystal made mandarin ducks, buy the wooden one.

d) Paint SW with red/pink- If you can't afford to buy paint, use red/pink cloth instead. Cover the table with red/pink cloth and put it at SW area. You can also place the mandarin ducks on top of it.


6) Cheaper ways to enhance career:

a) Hang picture of mountain behind where you sit at work. If you can't afford to buy the painting, get it from internet or draw it yourself (mountain picture is not too difficult to draw).

b) 8 pa kua aspirations- activate N to enhance career. If you can't afford aquarium, hang picture of fishes or waterfall at the area. Again, the picture can be downloaded from the internet.

c) If you can't afford to buy brass dragon tortoise and place it at north, you can opt for the resin one.


7) Cheaper ways to enhance relationship:

a) Flying star- always choose a bedroom with good mountain star, preferably mountain star 8.

b) Place crystal/boulder at mountain star 8- if you can't afford to buy crystal or jade/diamond boulder, use rocks instead. (Rocks can be collected free from seaside..etc).

c) Or hang a picture of mountain at mountain star 8- (draw the picture of your own or get it from internet if you can't afford to buy the picture).

Cheaper ways to enhance study luck/inspirations:

a) Sit facing and sleep with head pointing to growth/Fu wei direction.

b) If you can't afford to buy crystal globe and place it at study table, you can buy 7 level pagoda made of clay or porceline. Cheaper than crystal globe.


9) Cheaper ways to enhance fame:

a) Activate South area- If you can't afford to buy a lamp and light up the area, use candle lights instead.

b) If you can't afford to buy horse figurine, you can use picture of phoenix and place it south. The picture can get from internet or scan from book.


10) Cheaper ways to enhance happiness:

a) Speak, think, do, and hear no evil.

Practice feng shui does not mean we need to spend a lot of money on it. It is up to our own wisdom and creativity to make our feng shui not only effective but cost-saving as well.
