Feng Shui for Christmas

Feng Shui can affect our lives simply by just changing our facing our most beneficial direction while sleeping. This is because there is acirc;euro;tilde;acirc;euro;tilde;chiacirc;euro;trade;acirc;euro;trade; in every living space, and just by changing the direction we are trying to take advantage of the most beneficial acirc;euro;tilde;acirc;euro;tilde;chiacirc;euro;trade;acirc;euro;trade;. For example, when our TV picture is foggy and not clear, we try and arrange the antenna.

Most of us have had the occasional experience of acirc;euro;tilde;acirc;euro;tilde;being in the flowacirc;euro;trade;acirc;euro;trade; in the right place at the right time. Feng Shui literally works with this acirc;euro;tilde;acirc;euro;tilde;flowacirc;euro;trade;acirc;euro;trade; in the environment, in our lives and in our homes so that we can maintain that life-rhythm consistently. This, over a period of time, helps in achieving happiness and prosperity. Through simple adjustments like placing furniture in a certain way, hanging crystals, mirrors, windchimes, plants, using various colours and more, we can alleviate energy blocks so that acirc;euro;tilde;acirc;euro;tilde;chiacirc;euro;trade;acirc;euro;trade; moves more beneficially at home and in office.

And now with Christmas festivities in full swing, we would like to talk about how we can benefit from this user-friendly science.

l Hint No 1:
Wrap your gifts auspiciously with special intention. Tie three Chinese coins with a red ribbon to the gifts the side with the four Chinese characters should face up. The coins will enhance the luck of the receiver.

l Hint No 2:
Pine trees, also associated with Christmas trees, denote long life and friendship. It is a perfect time to take advantage of the treeacirc;euro;trade;s qualities. Choose one which has three sets of branches to symbolise three kinds of luck: Heaven, Earth and Mankind. Place the tree in some water near the main door to welcome the incoming acirc;euro;tilde;acirc;euro;tilde;chiacirc;euro;trade;acirc;euro;trade;.

l Hint No 3:
Christmas means a lot of photographs. But remember that three people clicked in a row is not recommended. If a family has only three members, then they should form a triangle with the bread-winner at the top for that auspicious photo.

l Hint No 4:
Jingle bells are everywhere this time of the year. Choose a nice shiny bell with a red chord and tie it outside the main door. Not only will it bring in the spirit, it will also activate the front door bringing in good news.

l Hint No 5:
Keep Christmas CDs and cassettes in your car and homes and turn on that yang energy of the season. Share the magic as you drive and sing along. It will make you warm and cheery:

ASK US: My personal finances are in a mess. Can Feng Shui help me? 8212; R S, Andheri
Yes, first of all see to it that there are no metal items kept in the south-east of your house. Keep a healthy jade plant there. Also, donacirc;euro;trade;t light candles in this corner. And, if you can, place a water feature like a fish tank or a fountain here. Lastly, you can buy some Chinese coins and keep in your purse, next to your bank statements and on your pay-slips.

We are a family of three. Either one of us is always sick in the house. What to do? 8212; A N, Byculla
We need to know if there is a kitchen or a bathroom right opposite your main door. If yes, then you need to block it out with acurtain. Use green and brown colours in the east of your house an see to it no metal items or furniture is kept. If you can calculate youracirc;euro;trade;s an your familyacirc;euro;trade;s qua no. then you can sleep with your head towards your health direction.

I am a young, average looking girl. My birthdate is Oct 20, 1971. Each time I get into a relationship, it never seems to work out. I desperately want to get married since my parents worry all the time. Please suggest. U S, Pune
According to your birthday, your qua no. is 9 and your relationship direction is south-east. So you must sleep with head facing that side. Also do not keep any clutter in the south-west of your room. You can also wear a rose quartz and keep a photo of a happy-looking couple in the south-west.
