Beat Stress With Feng Shui
For over 3,000 years Chinese people have turned to the ancient wisdom of Feng Shui to achieve greater harmony in their environment, and in themselves. Today we are bombarded by constant stress. How often do you wait anxiously in traffic, scroll through seemingly endless pages of email, leap at the sound of the cell phone? We are all bombarded by the daily demands of work and family, housekeeping and leisure. The pressure of bills and bosses can leave anyone’s nerves feeling frayed, and all too often we have unfulfilled personal expectations for our lives on top of the stress of just getting through the day. The good news is, you can restore your energy, recharge yourself and release tension by utilizing Feng Shui to create a home that is a sanctuary.
The principles of Feng Shui can help you design an environment that creates and directs positive energy. You may not be aware of the ways your physical space is affecting your well-being. Feng Shui provides guidelines to help in identifying problems in your environment. If learning about Feng Shui sounds like one more project in an already busy life, consider that this is one project that will lighten your load, provide relief and enhance your energy, rather than drain your internal resources or tire you out. This makes feng shui a truly worthy use of your time.
If your energy and your efforts are blocked, if your environment is contributing to your sense of restriction because the Feng Shui is not in balance, your stress only worsens. Scientists have demonstrated the negative effects of stress on the body. The overproduction of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline tax all of the systems in your body. These hormones contribute to the chronic conditions, like heart disease, that plague our society. And, excess stress wears down the immune system and leads to frequent colds and other aliments.
One of the keys to restoring energy and relieving stress is getting enough rest. Using Feng Shui to arrange your bedroom will help you get the sleep you need. Feng Shui will guide you in selecting the right room to sleep in, careful placement of your bed, eliminating mirrors in the bedroom, all of which will contribute to the quality of your rest and your waking energy.
Anxiety and stress trap and deplete energy. Feng Shui optimizes energy. An environment that employs proper Feng Shui principles contributes to harmony and well-being. The Chinese believe that Feng Shui helps create the conditions whereby you can thrive in your life and in your relationships. Feng Shui helps restore your energy because the objective of Feng Shui is to allow you to achieve harmony through your surroundings. You will learn how to place objects and arrange space so as to assist the flow of Chi energy. You will learn to leave negative energy at the door and fill your living space with good energy. With Feng Shui you can give yourself the positive pleasure of a harmonious, planned home environment designed to increase your well-being.

Feng Shui Clutter
Feng shui clutter in any area of your home especially in your bedroom represent stuck, stagnant ‘chi’ or energy.The more clutter you have or accumulated over the years, the more sluggish the flow of energy becomes.
What is feng shui clutter?
Basically, feng shui clutter is anything that you are not using at that very moment and it is lying around a place where it does not belong to.
These are often possessions that you believe are useful, defective items that you hope to repair, spares that you accumulate for a potential breakdown and unwanted gifts.
For example, a hammer left lying around in your bedroom is a clutter however when it is stored in a toolbox it is not.
Why feng shui clutter needs to be cleared?
Feng shui clutter aggravate chi disturbance to your home and health. The reason is because your feng shui clutter has ‘chi’ of its own and when these items are not used daily, their accumulated chi energy can clog and interfere with the flow of energy in your home and life.
Do you know that feng shui clutter in your bedroom has the strongest impact on your love life regardless of whether you are single or married. From a feng shui perspective, your bedroom is strongly affiliated with your marriage or romance.
If you are married, you and your partner sleep are affected and this in turn make both of you lethargic and irritable most of the time. This will constantly impede your relationship from having quality attention it needs and deserves.
If you are single, a cluttered bedroom will make it more difficult for you to start a new relationship as the inactive chi hinder you from meeting someone new.
Therefore the act of clearing your feng shui clutter is a critical task and a potentially life changing process you cannot ignore.
Which place in your bedroom to avoid feng shui clutter?
Corners in your bedroom tend to attract and accumulate negative chi. If you found the feng shui sector in your bedroom that has piles of old magazines, old newspaper or dusty mail, clear them away immediately.
Avoid placing dirty laundry or junk under, over or beside your bed. Keep your bedroom windows clear of clutter.
How to clear feng shui clutter?
First you must understand why you keep holding on to feng shui clutter. The two main reasons are; feng shui clutter may hold memories of past events or the hope that someday you might use it in the future.
People keep holding on to things that gives them a sense of hope in the future or to reminisce about the past. This reflect their insecurities about life and prevent them from living in the present.
You have to learn to let go of your emotional baggage by weighing the advantages of feeling recharged and invigorated or succumbing to emotional strain everyday.
Have you ever feel tired and overwhelmed when you are trying to dispose your feng shui clutter?
Here are some easy steps to take:
1. make a list of the places in your bedroom that need clearing up
2. do not start with the worst area of your bedroom, start with places that has the least clutter. That way,you have a small achievement to kickstart the process.
3. focus on the results of clearing feng shui clutter rather than zooming in on the tedious process of clearing up.
4. avoid getting sidetracked and do not backtrack when clearing up.
Follow these simple steps and you can make yourself feel exhilarated and revitalized.

Turn Around your Life for the Better With Easy to Implement Feng Shui Tips
Our life goes round in a full circle and in every person’s life there are a number of ups and downs, which bring about changes in our circumstances from time to time. Our endeavor is to always better our state of being, using all possible means available to us. One such uncommon method of improving the state of things is the use and implementation of Feng Shui tips in our day to day life. Feng shui is the ancient Chinese practice of balancing the elements and energies around our living space to achieve harmony and prosperity in the four major aspects of our life which are health, wealth, career and relationships. Each element like earth, water, air and fire are related to these various aspects and this practice helps us to balance them perfectly.
Feng Shui tips are applied by keeping the basic intent in mind, as to which aspect would an individual like to strengthen and which negativity would he like to dispense off. As for example, if you are interested in advancing your career then the Feng Shui tips provided to you would be greatly different from those provided to an individual who is more concerned with building his personal relationships. Also, an individual’s kua number is of great importance while applying the tips as the kua number decides the lucky and unlucky directions of the person and accordingly the tips can be implemented. It the element of water is good for activating one’s career luck but his personal number advises him to stay away from the colors of blue and black, representing water, then a balance has to be drawn between the two.
The advice and guidance of a Feng shui expert is essential while implementing any Feng shui tips in your life and living space. As this is a powerful tool that can shuffle the positive and negative energies around you to benefit you if used properly, the reverse can also happen if inaccurately used and implemented. Keeping a water body is good for career but if placed in the wrong room or direction it can cause great loss through theft or possible infidelity in an otherwise strong relationship. Hence, maintaining caution while using the tips is of prime importance.
Always take the advice of an expert while implementing feng shui tips for your home or office. In today’s time more and more people are realizing the benefits of alternative practices for improving the quality of life. Hence feng shui is also a prominent feature in many websites, magazines and even television shows. Many of us get mislead by the advice given on such forums and wrongly implement the tips, only to cause more harm than good. It is therefore crucial that the tips are implemented in the right way to provide the greatest benefit to the individuals. Use the guidance to balance the various elements and energies, both Yin (female) and Yang (male) to achieve perfect harmony, peace and prosperity in every aspect of your life be it health, wealth, career or relationships.

Is the Garage the Best Place to Teach Wing Chun?
Perhaps we should take a good look at how martial arts are taught today and the different mentalities involved. Maybe we should question not our methods of Wing Chun, but our motivations for teaching this great fighting system. There are several questions that come to mind when I think about how excellent Wing Chun is as a fighting system and yet here in the United States, we are few in number. If we were to compare to Tae Kwon Do schools we are last place. They have really nice schools that are not only beautiful to look at, but also safe to train in. Why is that? I know what you are thinking already. Tae Kwon Do schools are nothing more than McDojo’s that only exist to make the owner of the school rich. Don’t worry, I think that is true in many cases but not all. There are several reputable schools out there that have the complete package. Great martial arts and a great business for the owner. I believe the McDojo’s are the extreme and we should not throw out the baby with the bath water.
What if Wing Chun were to become as popular as Tae Kwon Do in the U.S. without “selling out”. Is it possible to run a very successful Wing Chun school that not only makes the owner really good money; but also produces above average, highly skilled fighters? Hasn’t our mentality been… ‘you can’t teach wing chun in a beautiful school with 50, 75, 100 or 200 students without somehow sacrificing quality.’? We all know famous masters who still teach out of a garage with only 6 or 8 students with this way of thinking. Of course they have to keep a day job to survive and there’s nothing wrong with that. I believe many of us suffer from a mentality that has either been passed on to us, or we just assumed that this is the way it’s done because after all, Master Dun Ol Way does it that way.
I used to think that if my Wing Chun was really good, I mean if I practiced so that no one in my city could come close to my skill, that people would just be busting my door down to learn from me. I wanted to at least achieve what my Sifu did in his school. In fact I secretly wanted to surpass him in the number of students he had. He didn’t hold back. He taught me with utmost care. Surely many people would just show up. I could not have been more mistaken. I was actually surprised that I didn’t have large numbers even though I saw other Wing Chun masters working out of ugly and sometimes dangerous looking buildings with only a hand full of students. No they didn’t come. In fact if it were not for the few “hard core fighter types” that darkened my door I would not have any students at all. I found out I was really good at running people off. Of course I would justify it by saying that they were not worthy any way. Not worthy to learn from a master like me who possessed this level of skill. Why this skill was only for the few who I could pass it on to. I could pass on my Wing Chun to my worthy students and the rest could go take a hike. Yea!!! Now I’m poor!
My friends, I discovered that I had the Wing Chun Poverty Mentality. I don’t quite know where it came from. Maybe it came from our Chinese fathers who operated out of the backs of restaurants and in homes. I don’t know and I don’t care any more. I made a decision that totally changed my school and made it not only an awesome place to learn hard core Wing Chun, but also a growing business with a high number of students.
I decided that I would have a new attitude and a new mentality about teaching. The first thing was to get rid of that old “poverty mentality” I didn’t teach some mish mosh kung fu. I taught the best martial art in the world. A martial art worthy of kings and anyone in need of self-defense. I began to develop the “luxury mentality”. After all Wing Chun is the Cadillac of martial arts. It has all the buttons and gadgets anyone needs in a martial art. But wait a minute, I bet you’re thinking that I have some kind of big head or something. No. The opposite is true. I decided that I would become a servant of sorts. That’s right. I would serve my students and help them achieve their martial arts goals. How did they hear about me? Well, an ingenious idea I found. I advertise on the internet with a very nice, well thought out website. No, advertising is not selling out! It’s getting the word out that you have something good you want to show others. It’s how we let people know about us and of course word of mouth is always good.
So now my mentality is this… I provide a beautiful, very Feng Shui kind of school for my students. I mean we have a real store-bought, CUSTOM-built Muk Jong. The walls and doors are painted Asian style and the floor is finished and flat. The dressing room and bathroom actually work and they are clean and sanitary. I have a desk, beautiful Asian decor on the walls and lovely furniture. We have a systematic approach to getting people in the door, interviewing them to find out their goals and sign them up in a very professional way. Most importantly we have a billing company that keeps track of tuition for me.
My approach to teaching is not to find the worthy, but to help all my students. I have found that this way I have their utmost respect and loyalty. Not only that, they want to stick around and learn more. And the highly sought-after, worthy student? I have them too and they get special training because of their commitment to high level quality. I even have inner-core students who I thought would never make it but stuck it out and now have become very proficient, excellent fighters. What if I would have run them off early on?
Imagine large Wing Chun schools in the United States that are the most beautiful places to train and contain the best martial artists in the world. I suggest we do away with the old poverty mentality ways if they bring us down. That old poverty mentality that would keep us in garages, poor and unknown. That old mentality that says Wing Chun and good business can never mix. I say it can be done because we do it every day. If I’m not mistaken, our school is one of the nicest and largest Wing Chun schools in the South East and the Wing Chun is high level, intact and undiluted. My Sifu and Si-Gung are pleased with our success and they quietly keep an eye on our success with familial pride. Now we have students who are happy to do it the “New Improved old way” if you will. And their skill level is excellent.
I would like to see teachers who want to train people for a living to believe that it is a possibility to have the best of both worlds and no longer think they are wrong for wanting a nice school with nice things in it. If Wing Chun is the Cadillac of martial arts, lets begin to put on that mentality. Let’s begin to recognize who we are in the world. We are the best. If there was something better we’d do it, right? Well there it is. It’s the more balanced approach to running a Wing Chun school. Let’s believe we can get out of the garage and act like we have something really good and well-balanced to offer people interested in self-defense.
Armando Sainz has been involved in martial arts since 1979. His school is highly recognized in the industry as being one of the top Wing Chun schools in the country. He is the number-one student of Sifu Bill Graves and seventh-generation Sifu in a line of senior students from Yip Man (Bruce Lee’s teacher).

Using Healing Crystals and Feng Shui to Improve Your Life Style
FENG SHUI USING HEALING CRYSTAL CLEARING STONES & ‘I’ CHING COINS
Have you ever noticed how some spaces are filled with a sense of peace and calm, while others make you feel uneasy or sad, or anxious to leave? This is because spaces become saturated with the residual energy of everything that happens there.
Clearing your living or working environment of all chaotic, negative, and stale energy will result not only in an immediate and noticeable transformation of the ‘vibe’ of your space, but also in an increased sense of well-being for all of its inhabitants.
Space Clearing is a simple technique that effectively cleanses any space of this energy residue, resulting in a fresh, vibrant, and healthy environment. It is so important that you clearly understand that the power of the space clearing ritual arises from your clear and strong desire to enact change in your life. Your intention creates a field of energy that acts as a magnetic force for drawing your desires to you. What you focus on is what you will create. Space clearing is an exercise in getting clear about your intentions.
Crystals are a light cure and are able to radiate light into the home. Place clear quartz crystals near a window to admire the sparkle of light being emitted into the home. Crystals are able to break up chi in the home by illuminating it and dispersing the negative chi and replacing it with vibrant chi from the sun. The crystal is a medium to bring the sun into more areas of the home. Play with the crystal and you can see the little rainbows dance throughout the room.
Feng Shui crystals come in all sizes, colours and shapes, and you choose the correct colour for your intention. Feng Shui, is pronounced Fung Shway, and literally means ‘wind and waters’.
Traditional methods to enhance and distribute Chi energy
Here are the most common methods used to direct and balance chi. Experiment by placing different items in specific positions. Keep a diary of what you do and what effects and changes you notice in your daily life.
FISH BOWLS – are great to strengthen the WATER element to attract chi, wealth and prosperity. If you can’t have a live aquarium, try hanging a ‘water’ type painting. Especially important when there is no other view of water.
LIVING PLANTS – Pot plants and flowers enhance and energise the element of WOOD. Use them in corners of your living and dining room but not in the kitchen or bedroom. Look after your plants, keep them healthy and vigourous.
CANDLES AND LIGHTS – use these to energise the element of FIRE. Glaring lights are inauspicious whereas bright but subtle lights are favourable. Candles bring life and Yang energy to dead and dark corners. They are very good for balancing odd-shaped rooms.
CRYSTALS – are an ancient way of energising the EARTH element. Healing Crystals reflect the light helping to disperse chi into smaller, more beneficial proportions. Hang a glass bell in the rays of the rising sun for good fortune.
METAL CHIMES AND BELLS – are very good to energise the METAL element. Metal chimes connect with the wind and bring chi into a room or house. To moderate strong chi, hang near the entrance or window. Hollow chimes channel chi upwards.
To assist with CLEARING, carry 4 QUARTZ crystals with 3 ‘I’ Ching coins on a length of red ribbon to hang the coins for good luck.
To assist with GOOD FORTUNE, carry 4 JADE crystals with 3 ‘I’ Ching coins on a length of red ribbon to hang the coins for good luck.
To assist with GOOD HEALTH, carry 4 AVENTURINE crystals with 3 ‘I’ Ching coins on a length of red ribbon to hang the coins for good luck.
To assist with MEDITATION, carry 4 AMETHYST crystals with 3 ‘I’ Ching coins on a length of red ribbon to hang the coins for good luck.
To assist with ROMANCE AND LOVE, carry 4 ROSE QUARTZ crystals with 3 ‘I’ Ching coins on a length of red ribbon to hang the coins for good luck.

Using Feng Shui to Combat Infidelity
Normal 0
When it comes to tragedies, prevention is always better than cure. So even if you are currently involved in a happy relationship, it won’t hurt to take some feng shui precautions to guard against infidelity. The most important direction to take note of is the Northwest. The Northwest represents the patriarch (father) of the household, or the man in the relationship.
To determine the northwest direction of your home or room, stand in the middle of your home with a compass, and mark the northwest direction (do not use rough estimates using the direction of the sun; get a good compass!). The washroom, kitchen, or storeroom should never be located in the northwest. This will not only bring bad luck to the patriarch of the family, but also bring agitation, restlessness and sometimes even misfortune to the man of the house. Here, the house will no longer a sanctuary for the man, and this may become an aversion, causing him to stay away from home. If this is the case, there is no alternative but to relocate the kitchen or bathroom to a different area of the home.
In an irregular shaped house, it is possible that the northwest corner may even be missing. If this is so, the patriarch of the man of the house will seldom be at home. This is one factor that may lead to infidelity. To remedy this, place a bright light in the northwest direction of the house. This is just a temporary solution. If possible, extend the area of the house towards the northwest direction.
The northwest area of your home is dominated by the metal element. Strengthen the metal element in that area with lots of metal decorations (such as wind chimes or metal sculptures). Having lots of earth elements in this direction will also be beneficial as the element of earth produces metal. The lucky colors for this direction are reds, white, metallic colors, and yellows. Don’t forget to fill the northwest area with symbols of love and fidelity. Hang family portraits, or pictures of you and your partner this area. A pair of mandarin ducks figurines is also an excellent marriage energizer.
By having good feng shui in the northwest, it will ensure that the man of the house will always stay close to home. If you are single, activating the northwest will attract a lot of Yang energy that will in turn attract a man into your life.
The southwest direction is also very important as it represents the matriarch of the family, or the mother of the family. The southwest should also be filled with symbols of fidelity. The predominant element of this direction is earth, so keep this area brightly lighted as often as possible. Place a lot of decorations made of crystals, clay or stone in this area to strengthen the element of earth.
If the southwest is poorly energized or missing, a single man will encounter difficulties in the search of a good wife; and a married man will not get enough support and affection from his wife.
