Feng Shui- A way to Good Luck| Monica’s Archives


These days we hear everyone talking about Feng Shui and its ease and effectiveness. There is a great philosophy behind this and would need a help of a professional Feng Shui practitioner for your major problems. Here I would like to answer some common questions which we would like to know about Feng Shui.
*      What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is an ancient art and science that was developed in China about 3,000 years ago. The literal meaning of Feng Shui is wind and water which in Chinese culture are associated with good health. Thus, feng shui came to mean good fortune.
*      Is feng shui the only thing that influences a person’s luck?
No, but feng shui correction is the easiest way to enhance our personal luck.



*      What is “Trinity of Luck”?
There are 3 types of luck: (1) Heaven luck, (2) Earth luck, (3) Mankind luck.
Heaven luck is the luck you are born with i.e. the influence of stars and planets on your destiny. This type of luck is very difficult to change.
Mankind luck is the luck that you draw, by really working hard with devotion and dedication i.e. ‘Karma’. This is general assumption that each person would do his best.
Earth luck is the luck that you draw from the places you live and work in. This part is the easiest to correct and can be totally turned in your favor.
*      What is Pa-Kua grid?
The Pa-Kua grid is a grid of 8 life aspirations. There are specific areas in the house corresponding to wealth, career, fame, children, elders, helpful people, knowledge and marriage. But the problem is people don’t know where these areas are located in their house. The 8 life aspirations are located in different compass directions of your house, and this is shown clearly in the diagram.
*      How to enhance a particular area?

Each location on the Pa-Kua of your house has an element attached to it. E.g. the fame area is in south and its element is fire. So, placement of water elements will have bad results as water destroys fire. Placement of plants is good as wood enhances fire. Following figure tells about the color and elements of the 8 directions.
Some tips to create a positive environment:
Ø  Floral paintings enhance the beauty of your home and introduce color and warmth into your lives.
Ø  Picture of sunrise gives positive energy, while picture of sunset symbolizes dying energy.




Ø  Avoid picture of sinking ship, instead hang paintings of ships loaded with goods on a calm sea.
Ø  Stuffed toys or weapons mounted on walls emit negative energy, so avoid their display.
               Feng shui is a vast topic and is not possible to tell in one article. Hope the information given will be of some use.
                                                          Happy Living!

Managing Diabetes

Diabetes affects almost all parts of the body. It leads to the starvation of cells throughout the body. In addition, the blood that contains high levels of sugar goes to all parts of the body, so any part that is sensitive to high blood sugar is affected. High blood sugar can result in damage to the large and small blood vessels, nerve damage and can increase risk of infections. In the long run, not controlling diabetes can damage important organs, like the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves which can lead to heart disease,   brain stroke, gangrene and leg amputation, eye bleeding, blindness, kidney damage, difficulty in bladder control, infections like pneumonia, skin infections etc. It is necessary to keep your blood sugar in control.

Personality Development

The personality of an individual is judged by his/her appearance, behavior, attitude, education, values and some more varying features. Personality development is often confused with enhancing your dressing sense and having command over English language. A person who dresses well and speaks fluent English isn’t necessarily supposed to have a good personality. Personality development is an all round development. Jack Canifield has rightly said, “If you keep doing what you have always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.” Acknowledging and facing your fear may actually mean a better chance of survival. It is always an opportunity to grow, learn and improve your confidence and success. Think of your fears as a challenge to be overcome, or a problem to be solved. Personality development grooms an individual, reduces stress and conflicts, develop a positive attitude in life. It means enhancing and grooming one’s outer and inner self to bring about a positive change to

Healthy Lifestyle

Today, everyone knows that to be healthy we should lead a healthy lifestyle. But at times, we get confused about what is healthy lifestyle. The way we are living is our lifestyle. Now, how can we make it healthy? People in our society can be categorized like bachelors/single women, married men, married working women, homemakers etc. who may need to think to bring some changes in their lifestyle. Working bachelors can be either staying at home with their family( parents and siblings) or have to shift to other city and are staying with friends or in hostel/ PG. Healthy lifestyle broadly can be classified in four steps: 1) Eat healthy 2) Exercise regularly 3) Reduce stress 4) Drink plenty of water The key is to be consistent. Whatever changes you bring to your lifestyle should be exercised regularly. It may seem difficult at first, but please make a start. Like first you may be able to do it twice or thrice in a week. Let it be. We cannot expect to change our lives in a day.
