: I have heard that one should never buy a Laughing Buddha and that it should always be gifted. Is that true? Also, I want to know where should I place the Laughing Buddha in my house.
It is a myth only in India that a Laughing Buddha should be gifted and not purchased. I have invested in a huge Buddha for my house. The Laughing Buddha should be placed right opposite your main door in the living room, so that the Buddha is the first thing a person sees as he enters a house.
Some wind chimes come with five rods, while some others come with seven rods. What is the significance of each?
The five-rod or the six-rod all-metal wind chimes are used to get rid of the negatives of the dreaded star, called the five yellows, which changes its location every year. This year the five yellows are in the north west, so place the five-rod or the six-rod wind chimes in the north west of your house/ office. The seven-rod is used to enhance the western sector.
I am in a high stress job and get tired very easily. Are there any Feng Shui tools that can perk up my energy levels?
Place a bowl of water in your bedroom, and face the south east at work and sleep with your head pointed in the same direction.
I am frequently job hopping. Although I have strong academic qualifications but for some reason or the other, I am forced to quit my job every now and then. Can Feng Shui be of any help? My date of birth is September 16, 1965.
You need to face the north west direction, but don’t sit in the north west location. If you are sitting in a north west location, ensure that you place a six-rod all-metal wind chime there.
My daughter is of marriageable age and I am having a tough time finding a match for her. Can you suggest some Feng Shui remedies? Her date of birth is December 29, 1976.
She should sleep with her head pointed towards the north which happens to be her relationship direction. This year the relationship energies are focussed in the centre of the house, so ensure that it is not dull and drab but neat, tidy and a lively place to reap the benefit from these energies.
