Feng Shui Anyone?

Image Source

Chinese New Year is around the corner and the first thing that comes into my mind when I think of Chinese New Year is Feng Shui. Just recently, I thought of selling my current house and I am considering of buying a new one. I consulted a Feng Shui Master to guide me on my purchase. For some of you who still do not know who a Feng Shui Master is, he is someone who practices Feng Shui, he is sometimes called geomancer. The word Feng Shui on the other hand is literally translated as wind and water. Feng Shui is a methodology or practice used in assessing the qualities of a location or property and its effects on the occupants. It is usually known as Chinese geomancy.  Anyway, during the process of my consultation with a Feng Shui Master, I was surprised on some of his advices regarding the location, position and as well as the design of both the interior and exterior of my future house. I like to share some of his Feng Shui advices.

  • When buying a house, try to know the history of the property. Avoid properties that were once a site of a funeral parlor, cemetery, slaughterhouse, hospital, temple, church, or police station. According to the Feng Shui Master, the negative vibes of these properties still abound and will continue to haunt the new occupants even if it’s renovated.
  • The house should not be built on top of an abandoned “water well”. It is worse if the well was filled-up by garbage or other filling materials like debris from earthquake or shaken building where many people have died. If this is so, the occupants of the property will suffer from recurring sickness, accidents, and misfortune.
  •  The main entrance or the main gate of the property could also affect the health and fortune of the occupants. Your main door should not face a funeral parlor, cemetery, slaughterhouse, hospital, temple, church or police station since these can cause sickness, incidence of death and strange happenings to the occupants. Large electric post, water tank and even trees should not block or partly block your main entrance since this will drive away the positive energy from entering the house.
  • Your main gate/entrance should not be directly in-line with your neighbor’s main gate/entrance. The house with a larger entrance/gate will suck in more fortune from the street than the one with a smaller entrance.
These are just some of the Feng Shui wisdom I gathered during my consultation with the geomancer. I know some of you do not believe in these stuffs and some of you might find this funny. Nevertheless, I hope you find this post interesting.

To all my Chinese friends and  followers, Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Contentment is the key. Don't lose it.

 I am not really a fan of boxing. But as a Filipino, I have no choice but to listen to boxing updates every time there is an upcoming Manny Pacquiao boxing event. And during the actual fight, I am glued on my TV and I am one with the nation praying for Manny's success. The hype of every Pacquiao's fight is so intense that every Filipinos even in the remotest areas in the Philippines are tuned in to the live telecast of Manny's fight. Whether its from a free pay-per-view  set-up in a town hall sponsored by a local politician or simply in the comfort of their homes via delayed telecast from a local TV station, Filipinos from all walks of life are always cheering on every punch Manny gives to his opponent. And for every victorious fight, the nation celebrates with Manny. But his last fight with Tim Bradley was totally different, Filipinos were not excited anymore. Somehow, Pacman already lost some of his charms. Maybe it all started when he entered showbiz, he became an actor

Destiny and Happiness

In my previous post entitled “In Search of your Destiny” , I mentioned that it takes only one person, one event, and one decision to help you discover your destiny. But how do we know if destiny is already knocking at our doors?  Destiny is a very broad term for some of us. Sometimes we tend to interchange it with fate. To be technical about it, destiny and fate have different meanings. Though these two words both refer to man’s fortune. Fate is more on the pessimistic side, while destiny is on the positive side.  When we say fate, it usually refers to an unexplained, unpopular, and sometimes tragic events in a person’s life that are beyond his control. Destiny, on the other hand, is what we are supposed to accomplish in this world, it is a deep inner energy that drives a person towards his life’s purpose. A person’s destiny is divinely-planned, even before we are born in this world our role in the “grand master plan” was already determined by the Divine

About Joshua Miguel

I grew up believing that dreams do come true. I was taught that as long as you work hard, follow your heart's desire, do good, and pray to God, your dreams will someday become a reality. I was also taught that If you fail once, try again and if you still fail, try harder. As they say, try and try until you die. I turned into writing blogs to release my frustrations in life. I wrote articles in Hubpages, Triond, Bukisa, and Associated Content. I am no longer active on those sites, I just created this blog site and  concentrated on this instead. Who is Joshua Miguel? Our real name was given to us by our parents. Not that I don't like the name given to me but if given a chance to change my name I would choose Joshua Miguel. That is the story behind my pen name and that is the reason why my blog-site's name is "Joshua's Page ". All articles in this blog-site were inspired by my day to day tho ughts and experiences. Hope you will en
