2. Feng Shui is an art which was developed
by the Chinese more than 5000 years
ago. It was initially only used by the
royals and it was kept a top secret.
Gradually, it was known to the common
man as well. It can be called both a
science and an art. It is basically the
knowledge of balancing the energies and
creates peace for a person.
3. In Chinese Feng means wind and Shui
means water. Of all the natural elements
found in the nature, Wind and Water are
said to be the most powerful elements
that can balance the energies.
These are also the most important
elements required for a person to
survive. Feng Shui believes that all the
things in this universe are connected to
each other.
4. The energies created out of this is
responsible for maintaining the peace in
the society and one’s home.
Feng Shui is a set of rules that a person
has to follow in order to create harmony.
It can be applied to all the areas of our
lives. Be it personal or professional.
5. There are various schools of Feng Shui but
the basic concept remains the same for all.
The map of Feng Shui is called “Bagua”
which is divided into 9 different areas of
our lives namely prosperity, relationships,
children, career, health, family etc.
It is based on the simple principles like,
the space we live or work in should be
comfortable and clutter free and safe. One
needs to be happy with what he has and
should learn to love it instead of creating a
negative energy by hating it.
6. A clean and a well organized place are
important so that the mind also remains
clutter free. It also gives the opportunity
for the person to express himself
creatively.
Singapore has a fair amount of Feng shui
masters thanks to the fact that
Singapore has 77% Chinese population.
It is followed even by the Government
for the prosperity of the country.
7. There are many locations in Singapore
which was built after taking expert advice
from the Feng Shui master. The success
or failure ultimately depends on the
master we chose and how knowledgeable
he is.
The popularity of Feng Shui in Singapore
can also be measured by the fact that it
offers an Feng Shui tour for the tourist
who visit the city. There are also quite a
number of famous Feng Shui master
in Singapore.
8. It is said that Feng Shui can be used to
improve each and every area of our lives.
The examples could be strained relations,
poor performance at work or in studies,
frequent ill health, building a new home,
business deals, relocating to a new place
etc. Any of these can be made positive
using Feng shui.
9. Creating a clutter free place can be
generally done by anyone without any
expert advice but, when following in dept
it is always better to take advice from an
expert.
This is to take care that it does not
create more negative energies if it is not
done properly.
10. Selection of a Feng Shui Master in
Singapore
The selection of a master is the critical
criteria. For this it is always better to do
our own research on the master before
going for his advice. One has known
what the various schools of Feng shui are
and what the basic difference between
each school is.
11. Choice has to be made based on what we
understand the most and we feel would
work better for us. One can also take the
advice of friends and relatives and get
their suggestions as to who would be
able to help us the most.
Once we have a list of the masters ready,
we can talk to them and see with whom
we are more comfortable sharing our
needs and which is that we are able to
understand and implement easily.
12. In this web age we also have numerous
forums. We can also find out about the
master we chose from the other people’s
experiences.
You can also find out for how long the
master has been practicing, what he
would charge and what all areas do they
cover in their consultation. A good Feng
Shui master should be able to explain the
rationale behind every suggestion they
give.
13. When it comes to payment, in the olden
days payments were not any fixed
amount and the payment for the
consultation was made in red packets or
red envelopes.
The red packets were considered as a
symbol of good luck and were mostly
presented at family or social gatherings.
It was believed that gifting of money in
red packets bring in good luck and wards
off the evil spirits.
14. But, in today’s world the Feng Shui
consultants take a fixed amount for each
consultation depending on how complex
it is and the amount of time spent in it.
The amount may sometime be very high.
Hence, it is necessary to take care while
choosing a consultant with good skills.
15. This could be the only disadvantage of
choosing a bad consultant. We not only
lose money but will not get any peace of
mind.
Such bad experiences would lead to
making us losing belief in a system which
when practiced properly would produce
excellent result.
16. It is believed that the Feng shui masters
who are authentic will pass on their
knowledge only to selected people and
that too only to their relatives. So, while
choosing a master for consulting, it
would help to know for how many
generations they have been practicing
this art.
17. If all these factors are carefully
considered before choosing a master, it
would benefit the person immensely.
