1. FENG SHUI tianyisolutions.com BASIC UNDERSTANDING

2. FENG-SHUI MYTHS Let us explore what Feng Shui is not….. ART OF FURNITURE ARRANGEMENT ART OF OBJECT PLACEMENT True and honest, Classical Feng Shui does not ask you to buy overpriced expensive objects. 20 years ago, a famous master decided to sell objects as a marketing stunt, which was picked up all over the world. • The furniture in Feng Shui is part of the placements that one can use, but not the main item. • It is not a version of Interior Decoration tianyisolutions.com

3. FENG-SHUI MYTHS Let us explore what Feng Shui is not….. COINS WITH RED RIBBON 3 LEGGED FROG WITH COINS IN ITS MOUTH A metal animal with a missing leg and no idea about a proper diet, how can that even help you? Earlier used for the element it is made of, then it became a decorative version of that, to this…. • Do not get tempted by buying fake Chinese coins tied together with a red ribbon, they are not “lucky” except for those who sold these overpriced items to you for an unreasonable profit tianyisolutions.com

4. FENG-SHUI MYTHS BUDDHA FACING MAIN DOOR CHINESE BAMBOO & MONEY PLANTS Placing plants as a Feng Shui “cure” makes no sense unless done for a specific reason, in a specific place and for a particular purpose. Random placements are not Feng Shui dictated. No money plant can get you “money” for sure • Buddha has a religious significance that eventually became cultural. It is not Feng Shui though. tianyisolutions.com

5. FENG-SHUI MYTHS WIND CHIMES FOUNTAINS & AQUARIUMS THE WORD “Shui” means literally WATER. So water is of prime importance but has to be placed with care and precision, so take the advice of a professional before placing a pool, a fountain, a fish-tank and so on. • Seen as a Feng Shui activations and considered “lucky” they have their uses only if placed correctly and can cause more harm than good if placed wrong. tianyisolutions.com

6. Harmonising your self with your surroundings , but how ? • This is not something one can do by themselves, but in general, one tends to “feel” good or “not so good” in different spaces, while other spaces, despite being beautifully designed, don’t hold your interest, and you want to run away. • One tends to gravitate to particular areas of a home, that seem more inviting, and this can be at a sub-conscious level. • These aspects can easily be identified by a Feng Shui consultant, so before you renovate, seek their advice so that your space becomes optimally usable. tianyisolutions.com

7. So then, what IS Feng Shui? • Feng Shui is the study of the movement of energy that can be understood, quantified and its quality identified well in advance so that simple predictions are possible. • At the basic level, we seek to embrace and use the good energies and avoid the bad or malevolent ones. • We deal with the concept of 5 elements that function is a fixed manner, constantly changing and evolving, like nature… tianyisolutions.com

8. What is Qi? • The unseen, the invisible but always present life-blood of the universe is the single most important component of the study of Feng Shui. • It mimics the forces in nature and is constantly evolving from one state to another, converting from one element to another in a pre-fixed sequence. • The elements then have a particular influence on each sector of the property. • Like the phases of the moon, or the movement of the tides, all of this follows a set pattern, hence we can, well in advance, predict the outcome of what happens to who, in which areas of the property, considering two main criteria, a persons date of birth and the house plans, to see how the possible interaction can turn out. This is why no two peoples luck can be the same in one house. tianyisolutions.com

9. How the 5 elements work EARTH PRODUCES METAL EARTH FIRE PRODUCES EARTH METAL The first law of thermodynamics, says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. In Feng Shui, the 5 elements work similarly. • Wood produces Fire • Fire burns to produce ash, or earth • Earth produces metal • And in turn the metal produces water • Which in turn again grows plants or trees, that’s wood, and the cycle goes on endlessly. METAL PRODUCES WATER LEARNFIRE FIRE WATER WOOD PRODUCES FIRE WOOD WATER PRODUCES WOOD

10. The concept of a Bright Hall • The area just in front of your home, or main door is referred to as your Ming Tan, in Chinese or Bright Hall, in English. • Since all the Energies enter your home from here, it is important that the situation here is positive in Feng Shui terms, and we need to be able to collect the energy here, and guide it into the house. • If the are outside your main door is not perfect as it can be in a dark passage of an apartment block, then open up a window or let in the light from there.Natural light is the best. • Your home shoudn’t smell bad or musty, and natural sunlight absorbs this. tianyisolutions.com

11. The concept of Clutter • In order for the positive energy to flow inside the house, one needs to create a pathway for it to flow. • Positive energy likes bright light, open space, and cleanliness. • Negative energy, on the other hand, tends to be harboured in tight, messy and congested spaces, especially stagnant areas, hence we like to keep the home free of clutter. • Clutter is not necessarily dirt, but more like a mess. • It can also be an accumulation of usused stuff, and broken non-working items. • If you are a hoarder or a collector, go through and re-arrange your collections regularly to let energy, or Qi circulate. tianyisolutions.com

12. Kitchen guidelines • Island stoves are a definite no no. So are sinks in an island. This challenges health, especially for the head of the household. • Stoves are best installed with a wall behind, for stability • No fire and water opposite /next to each other, maintain at least 2-3 feet distance. • When you cook, the stove controls are key to good health & energy. There are some basic guidelines but these are best left to an expert. A badly located stove can be an issue for health & relationship issues. tianyisolutions.com

13. bedroom • The direction one sleeps in is very important to get a good nights sleep. • Each person, based on their year of borth, require or are able to sleep better in certain directions. • It is always preferebale to place the beds headboard against a wall. Sometimes, if that’s not suitable to you, simpley flipping over to the opposite side of the wall can improve ones sleep. tianyisolutions.com

14. Study/Work desk • Back a wall , so that you have a support of yin feature on your back. • Don’t have the desk directly in line with the room door • Keep windows open allow energy flow. Pick a direction that is good as per your date of birth by following the attached tables. • Moon effects tide • Sun effects growth on environment • Planet effects energies tianyisolutions.com
