I am always amazed some of the theories that comes out from some practitioner. Take for example the bookshelf. They go all out to discourage people from having bookshelf behind their work desk. The books behind them are like Sha Qi, sending sharp negative Qi to whoever that is sitting in front of it. It affects them, makes them lose concentration, deplete them of energy and so on. If one must have the bookshelf behind them, they must ensure that it is fill-up with books, to even out the Sha Qi.
If this is really the case, all libraries should be closed down. What's the point of having a library when nobody is going to gain the benefits of reading books in it? Imagine all the Sha attacking you. The CIA should just donate half-filled bookshelves to their enemies and include free interior design for them so that it could "sha" the enemies without them knowing.
We need to be more open-minded and do not let this type of knowledge "Sha" you.

House Facing Direction
A friend was looking for a house to buy and was asking what direction should the future house be facing? Does it depends on BaZi? Does it depends on Gua number and the East/West Group they belong?
The answer is, a house facing any direction can be good. What is really important is the "mountain" and "water" that can be found around the vicinity of the property. Every house, flat, apartment are not the same even though they are facing the same direction.
You can drive through a road with rows of terrace houses, all facing the same direction and yet, you will notice some are doing much better than the others.
Every floor of any apartment block is also different. Every unit is also facing the same direction, having the same layout and yet, not everyone is enjoying the same luck and lifestyle.
Why is that? They all face the same direction.....
The meaning and representation of water and mountain goes beyond its physical representation. Swimming pool, water fountains, tall buildings and so on, are some of the man-made structure. But what we are more interested in is the physical landform that can be found around the area.
Some tried to build structures within their gardens such as waterfall landscape, build drains surrounding the house to simulate water flow, etc and many times it attract more disaster than bring auspiciousness to the occupants. Did they take into consideration the external structure?
The next time you go house hunting, remember that every direction can be used.

Moving In………
Now that you’ve got your keys to your new house, what’s next? What must be done before you move in? What must you do when you move in? When is it considered moved-in? Renovations, costs, interior design, Feng Shui and so on….. all the questions that comes with getting those keys.
Assuming you have successfully selected an auspicious unit following the recommendation of a professional Feng Shui practitioner, the next item in your to-do list would be renovation and deciding when and how to move-in.
Most recommendations on moving in are about carrying out rituals and following certain customs that has been practiced by the family as part of their culture and tradition. Descendants from different provinces of China carry with them different processes and methodology of moving into a new home. However, you will notice the underlying objective is the all about the same, i.e., bring wealth, good health and good luck into the new home. The Chinese believes that it is important to choose a good day to move into a new home. All that starts well, will continue to do well (hopefully).
Whenever someone moves into a new home, the new owner and family will carry out certain rituals with the hope to bring in all the good luck into the new house, pray to the Gods for blessings and carry out ‘house cleansing’ rituals. Because of such common practice, people tend to relate it to being part of a Feng Shui practice.
Are the moving-in rituals part of Feng Shui? Not really. Feng Shui is about the property and the land it sits on, and the Qi that can be tapped from our surroundings. The rituals are about Chinese culture, family tradition and to a large extend, the religious beliefs of the individual family. It is important that we differentiate them and not combine them together.
Moving-in to a new home is fairly simple. By now, you would have completed your renovations, shifted your furniture and ready for occupancy. It is just that you have not officially moved-in yet.
Select a day and time where the Qi is vibrant and supportive to those intending to move to the new place. Open and enter the house at the recommended hour. Upon entering the house, you can start to “warm” it up by simply turning on the stove, boil some water to make tea or coffee or cook a light meal if you prefer. After this, you are free to do anything you want. To complete the process, you just need to stay in the new place for the night. You are now officially the owner of the new home.
If you are more religious inclined and wants to follow the traditional way, there are a lot more things you can to do. These are part of culture and religion and in no way part of Feng Shui.
I hope I have shed some light and given some pointers to differentiate what is part of Feng Shui and what is part of religion and culture in the process of moving-in into your new home.
Things to remember as part of house buying process when Feng Shui is involved:
a) Select a unit suitable (in Feng Shui sense) for you and your family.
b) Ensure your house is designed to tap on auspicious Qi from your surrounding.
c) Choose a good day to start renovation.
d) Choose a good day to move-in.
e) Fine-tuning and minor adjustment
