Next, here are some tips to picking the right curtain shapes:
- White curtains with dominantly circular shapes are excellent in rooms in the west corners
- Blue curtains with wavy patterns are great in the rooms located in the north corners
- Red curtains with triangular shape patterns work very well in the south corners
- Green curtains are suitable in the east corners

For the carpets, try to avoid the ones that have over-sized confusing patterns. Go for the ones that have beautiful detailing much like the designs found on Persians carpets.

Next, the bookshelves are something that many people find very attractive to display. Try to keep the bookshelves concealed or closed.

As for the bathrooms, the key to decorating this space is to not go overboard with the design ideas. This is a place where the chi gets flushed down so keeping the decorations to a bare minimum would work very well.

Hopefully some of these basic tips will help you to get started. The most valuable tool to have when designing your personal space is a good compass.

It was my first time in Hong Kong. I was alone. And I was looking for a killer.

I didn’t think he’d show up by the time I arrived in this beautiful city. But I was wrong. Dead wrong.

Even now, as you read this article, the killer, remains scot-free and very much active. He leaves a trail of bodies everywhere: in China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

In Hong Kong, medical authorities said the killer’s victims had doubled in the past 20 years. The bloody butcher’s pattern was known: he claimed one victim every three hours. But no one could stop him. It was my job to find him.

I didn’t carry any weapons on my mission. Guns were useless against the killer. So I had to rely on my wits. All I brought were my microcassette recorder and camera.

As I stepped down from the plane, the cold wind greeted me like a lost sweetheart. It was a little past nine in the morning when I found myself in Hong Kong. I had barely three days to track down the killer. And time was already running out.

It was a shame I wasn’t here for the sights. There is much to see in Hong Kong. This is the place where East meets West in the most fascinating way. Here, majestic skyscrapers tower above ancient temples. Important business deals are made based on feng-shui or Chinese geomancy. And ritzy neon signs come alive at night together with burnt paper offerings meant to appease the spirits.

And who could forget the shopping delights? Over seven million people visit Hong Kong every year. The main reason for this is shopping and one can easily get lost in the mesmerizing maze of market stalls and commercial complexes that offer everything money can buy. You name it, Hong Kong has it – for the right price.

I figured I wouldn’t have a hard time looking for the killer. Going around Hong Kong is easy and there are many ways to accomplish this.

Back home, transportation was a big problem. But here, it’s fast, efficient and there is little or no pollution.

You can get a taxi or minibus. Better still, catch the light rail transit, underground train, or a peak tram that reaches the mountaintops.

There’s also the old, reliable rickshaw for the less adventurous but it’s now confined in the Central District. (Next: On the trail of a killer.)

Finding the Center of Yourself

According to Feng Shui, the health area of your home is the center part of each room of your house as well as of the house as a whole. As such, the first step toward improving your health energy is to look at these areas of your home and your office. What’s there? Are there things that are cluttering up this area and preventing energy from flowing? Are there items that are broken or plants that are dying? Those certainly aren’t attracting positive energy. Take the time too to remove any heavy objects from the centers of your rooms as these can weigh down your energy and make it hard for your body to release illness and disease.

You will also want to make sure you are removing anything that might be seen as negative in your environment. Whether this means pictures that don’t make you happy or items that you’ve held onto because someone else gave them to you – you need to rid yourself of everything that doesn’t make you smile. Attracting good and healthy energy starts with surrounding yourself with things that make you feel good about yourself.

Restoring Your Health and Maintaining Your Energy

The first thing you need to do in order to make sure you stay healthy is to ensure that energy – good positive energy – is always able to enter your space. Keep your front door free of obstacles and make sure the door itself can be seen from the street. Take away any metals that might be in your bedroom as these can attract too much energy, which is just as bad as too little energy. You spend most of your life in your bedroom, so this is an important area to cleanse of unwanted energies.

Take a multi-faceted crystal and hang one from the center of your bedroom as well as any other rooms you spend a lot of time in. This will help to disperse energy throughout the space, keeping it from getting too concentrated in one area. If you can, add a natural mattress to your bed so that you are being supported by natural fibers that are energetically positive. Your home should be bright and welcoming. Make sure the centers of all of your rooms are bright with light. This attracts healthy energy.

Plants are another positive way to add healthy energy to your home and to your body. Choose plants like spider plants or ferns for the best effect. Chimes or bells can also help to break up congested energy in your space, so take some time to decorate with these or to ring them to dissipate energy. Yellows and greens are best to use for healing and for health in rooms.

No matter what else you do, choosing to take action for your health is the most positive step you can make for yourself. And with Feng Shui, you know you are attracting all the healing help you need.

Feng Shui (pronounced fung-shway) means wind water but in ancient China, this art was once known as Hum Yue which translates to heavenly path and earthly path respectively. Both these terms describe the power of harnessing energy or chi in the environment.

The Early Years

Feng Shui history books such as The Book of Songs or Shih Ching, first introduced this ancient wisdom and spoke of how it should be practiced. They were documented over many years beginning in the ninth century BC. During the Han dynasty in China, around 206 BC to 224 AD, the Record of Rites or Li Chi, compiled by Kuo Po, talked about how it could be applied to graves. It was not until the Sung dynasty, around 960 AD to 1279 that Wang Chi documented on how it could be applied to house building.

Feng Shui Today

Feng shui history credits one particular man for it’s development over the years to what we know it to be today, Kuen Chok. Kuen Chok mastered the art during the Tang dynasty and published many books on its practice, sharing the knowledge that we use to this day.

If we were to visit Hong Kong, we can see how popular and practiced this study is today as it was many years ago. From millionaire tycoons to family homes, everyone has jumped on the bandwagon and reaped the benefits of this ancient science. In fact, it is fascinating to see how the landscape and geography of the island of Hong Kong itself has been molded with these principles in such a way as to contribute to the wealth and prosperity of the city with the mountains behind and the harbor in front along its financial strip.

In Hong Kong today, experts in the field are often consulted in the preliminary stages of buildings and houses to ensure that they are built on and with the most auspicious placements and spaces. Some indications of this can be seen in eight sided rooms in offices and even a building with a large hole through the middle in which to permit any negative energies to flow through its frame so as not to affect its inhabitants. Using what they’ve learnt from feng shui history and applying it in the early stages of planning, they eliminate the need to later correct any negative energy captured in the framework of the building or house which can be quite costly when you consider the construction of a large building.

Feng shui history has taught us a lot about using the energies of the environments we live in to live more happier, profitable and satisfying lives in this modern world. It is through the natural energy of the universe that we ultimately attain this balance of power and harmony to give ourselves the best opportunities for love, prosperity, success, health and happiness.
