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!

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

Independence when there is no freedom

The Philippines is celebrating today its 122nd  Independence day.  Today we remember how our forefathers claimed their freedom from the Spaniards who enslaved them for almost 333 years. Thanks to our national hero Jose Rizal, who sparked the hearts of the Filipinos through his provoking novels. This eventually inspired a revolution which then gave birth to our first republic in 1889.  Today, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, we are locked at our homes and we have no freedom to move. As a result, we are deprived to work and earn a living. We are deprived to travel, to gather, and to celebrate. Our lives have so many restrictions.This was the same experience of our forefathers when their freedom was taken away from them by the Spaniards. Good thing this Covid 19 is only temporary. Once the vaccine is commercially available, our lives will soon return to normal and our freedom will be restored. Imagine if this quarantine is permanent, people will became restless, agitated and probably lose th

When destiny unfolds

Original Photo by Joshua Miguel No matter how much effort we put in organizing and planning our life, the tides of our destiny will always dictate our fate. We always come across the word destiny, but most of us do not really know what it means. D estiny is a predetermined event in a person’s life that is beyond human control. Destiny is also known as our “purpose in life” . In my own opinion, it will take a big deal of time before we discover our true destiny is . I myself who is already 42 years old as of this writing is still in doubt of what my real task in this world. Every single day I always ask my self what my Creator wrote in my palm and what is waiting for me at the end of this tunnel called life. When I was still in my childhood years, I see my future as difficult and full of challenges because that was what I saw from my parents. My dad in particular was the one who inculcated in my mind that adult life is tough and I should prepare for it. He always told
