Dear Kay Song,
Traditional Feng Shui sites like this practise the following concepts:
1. Heaven Luck
Do a search for Pillars of Destiny or Ba Zi or Eight Characters.
2. Earth Luck
2.1 This is truly Feng Shui or the earth luck.
2.2 In Traditional Feng Shui; there are two major schools:
- Shapes and Forms
- Compass School: Eight House and Flying Star
3. Human or man luck
3.1 This is the most mis-used area.
3.2 For example, go to any Feng Shui site and they often claim that e.g. 3-legged toad or some figurine are very good for us.
3.3 However, there is always a hidden agenda behind this. Imagine, in China a 3-legged toad can be carved for as little as US$15 - cheap labour and material in China. But in Singapore, many Feng Shui practitioners or shops sell it for US$150 or more.
3.4 It takes very little to guess who earns big bucks from gullible people all over the world!
3.5 Some Feng Shui practitioners also sell wind chimes and `special fountains'. Here, they simply quote a cheap rate for a Feng Shui audit but bring along these items. At the end of their session, they could easily be making a huge profit. Unfortunately at our expense.
4. What is the true purpose of Feng Shui?
4.1 The true purpose of Feng Shui is to see how best we can harmonize to our home. Only when we are healthy and happy can we then pursue or become productive i.e. have children or at work.
4.2 This is the real true meaning of having good Earth Luck.
5. Is Human/Man Luck free?
Yes! Have a good listening ear - with our spouse and love ones. Even a simple hug or kiss is free!
6. Many of us do want to hear nice things:(
Many people often ask where is my wealth corner in my home?
But this is really psychological. We like to feel comfortable that our home has a wealth sector. But in Feng Shui, the only thing close to this is the application of Flying Star Feng Shui e.g. if there is metal elements detected e.g. star 7 or star 6, then water may be used to activate metal element etc...
7. Please read more about:
Black Hat Sect - This is a modern invention and perhaps, the so called ba gua template you may be referring to.
8. There are more, so, please, please read up. If you have the time, please read the messages in this forum for a flavour of what is and what is not Feng Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

User's Comments After browsing many many feng shui sites, I came to one conclusion: your site is the most sensible, reasonable and helpful one of all. I've been to sites where they want to sell you just about anything and everything. The information they are willing to give is so trivial and one senses that the only thing they are interested in is to make money and sell you products that might and might not fit in with your decor or your culture, and of course doesn't serve the purpose of curing and or enhancing. Sorry for the long message, but I have a friend who spent a fortune buying all types of figurines to cure then to enhance and then eventually all she got was more figures on her credit card and no luck! I believe that what one should do is get your advise first because it makes so much sense and it is always sincere. I also believe that people should buy things that pleases their eye and provide a sense of beauty and balance. Again sorry for the long message and thank you for a wonderful site. Luna Ghobar, 10 March 2003 Students new to Feng Shui can learn more on their own, with the help of a few good books and this website, than many "practitioners" can teach them.
