Fs Considerations In Bedroom

[neubie 2]

I was told that the following is not good:

- installation of aircon FCU cannot be above door frame

- lighting above bed

- false ceiling below headboard (cos there will be heavy pressure on the sleeper's head)

Can anyone, eg, bro bepgof, provide more insight??? :rolleyes:

Difficult to provide insight le, don't know where & how to start, it would be long story to convince you.

Let start from wu xing, we all know that:

木生火,火生土,土生金,金生水,水生木

木克土, 土克水,水克火,火克金,金克木

and 造化之機，不可無生，亦不可無制。無生則發育無由，無制則亢而為害。必須生中有制，制中有生，方能運行不息，相返相成. Here 克=制。

Below is what I wrote to one of the forumers, applicable here:

"Qi" in a house is a very "cheem" thing to me, still learning, dare not to make conclusive comments. However, instead of using the word "qi", I think it is more appropriate being replaced by "feel". Different ppls having different "feel" to a same environmental setting. The "feel" would therefore be subjective to individuals' values/beliefs.

Ying yang comes first follow by wu xing to explain the relationship(survival, interaction, etc) in this universe, by ancient human. The basic concept of wu xing is to classify all objects(living or non-living)on earth, into 5 elements (wu xing)[ The way of classification has been an argument]. Example South = fire=red, west=water=black, "up, and growing" = wood.....,so on and so for...

Wu xing has "ke" 克and "sheng" 生functions. Object A "ke" object B, but "sheng" object C, etc This is where the fundamental of TCM based upon. Imagine we put a human(an object) in a setting(a house, with many objects), some objects "ke" some , but at the same time "sheng" some (very much like a habitat, self regulate and the "strongest" one at last, remain or "win"). "House audit" , in term of geomancy, is actually a study of surrounding objects' "ke" & "sheng" characteristics and re-arrange them in such a way no "ke" to human, but all the "sheng" to this human. You should consider yourself lucky that I explain this to you - I took many years to comprehen this "basic" principle, as I was somehow or rather being misled by some books.

Ok, if must speak, up to now, I believed the "qi" within house is the "resultant" of objects' wu xing characteristics. The is no such thing as "no qi", "little qi" within a house. It is rather more logical to be expressed as the "qi" is more "ke" natures than the "sheng" natures to the human.

Examples:

1. Color- affect human's mood & mental, therefore temper, "good" color "sheng" to human A since he likes this "good" color, but this "good" color may be a "ke" to human B, stay in same house, who doesn't like this color.

2. Furniture type, lighting type, arrangement of table/chair,....etc may suit A but not suit B. Suit= like="sheng", no suit =dislike="ke"

So on and so for. So, I would say, a house with good fs is one that suits occupants' tastes = they likes.

This explains also why young couples feel uneasy(therefore can't get along well, after prolong time, short time still can "tahan" or tolorate) to stay with "old" parents' house whereby lighting, furniture type, color,...etc not suiting the young couple's tastes.

To go further, discuss with all occupants, take furniture as example -found out the "common" like and buy that and put in house - everybody "sheng" - now got it?

All human subject to gravitional force, whether a beam or ceiling, or a lighting are the same - could anytime give way and fall down. Just try what we can to avoid the "direct" object(lighting), if no choice (beam), have to leave it to "heaven". Ok?

I just realised that the round light has been directly above our bed in the master bedroom & for the past 10 years, we've been sleeping below it but thus far, nothing happened.

But another neighbour staying below said they got really sick after sleeping below the lighting... and their lighting is in the same position as ours in the master bedroom.

FS is indeed a very "cheem" thing... can't explain in jux a few words as to what is good or bad. Too complicated. It's dependent on many aspects.

Are you sure these sites are "great"?

They say do this and do that, don't do this and don't do that.

This direction is good, that direction is no good.

Never explain its "logic" is one big question, or, even with minor explanation, always associate it to qi, energy flow lah, magnetic lines lah, offend this and offend that. Explain = no explain = hit around the bush=never hit the point!

Just get an LT book (that's what she wants) and get a JY book. You will find many contradictions. Already 2 authors like that, how about more? Who to follow?

Famous Tan KY said that chinese 6th month is the last 'wang month' of the year, then another fsm (in the same newspaper) said after that month things change for the better. So now we know hor!!

There are many sites where the written were copied direct from books.

If going for simple house fs do's and don't, just get the chinese magazines.

Oh dear... I did all the above that you said was not good. The air-con pipe is concealed, very hard to change. Lighting is above bed but I can probably change the position since it has not been fixed yet and false ceiling is all over the bedroom. How to rectify?

信则有喽～ 不要太执着～

[edenstrauss 3]

I read somewhere in the local chinese newspapers that it is a bad FS to have bedrooms that are same size or bigger than living room.

Does anybody have any idea?

I'm pretty concerned about it becox my master bedroom is very large, almost as big as my living room.
