Other significant biographical data previous
to your becoming the great Feng Shui guru? |
| LT |
: |
Until my mid forties I was a businesswoman
and had a flourishing retailing business in Hong Kong
but I came back to Malaysia to become a full time mother
when my daughter turned twelve. I became a writer after
Jennifer (my daughter) started growing up and going into
secondary school. |
|
| UM |
: |
Do the Feng Shui principles that you
teach apply in the same way to the Northern and the Southern
Hemisphere? |
| LT |
: |
Absolutely. There was for a short time some
misconception that you need to flip the directions for
North and South hemisphere, but when you understand advanced
feng shui where we actually use three measurements of
NORTH, then you know that the recommendations apply the
same to every place wherever you are. In feng shui, accurate
compass directions are important as a point of reference. |
|
| UM |
: |
To have good fortune is the wish of all
people on Earth. Does good fortune invariably accompany
whoever applies the feng shui ways? |
| LT |
: |
Yes to a large extent if they are genuine
and really know how to protect against misfortune and
how to energize for good fortune. |
|
| UM |
: |
What other factors are relevant to have
good or bad fortune? |
| LT |
: |
Feng shui is only one third of your luck.
There is also karma and your own actions. |
|
| UM |
: |
Today technology has a place in everybody's
home. How do the electronic appliances and devices (TV
sets, computers, microwave ovens, etc) affect the harmony
of a house? |
| LT |
: |
Well they exude a kind of invisible energy
don't they? So yes they do have an effect on the feng
shui of the house. They create yang energy. Too much is
not good, but television and radios create good yang chi.
|
|
| UM |
: |
Which is the best place in a house to
put a computer and a TV set? Is there a place where these
appliances should definitely NOT be positioned? How can
the negative effects be corrected? |
| LT |
: |
In the WEST and NW. |
|
| UM |
: |
Could you give us some remedy or cure
for solitude? (in the case of someone who wants to find
a partner in life). |
| LT |
: |
O yes, there are tons of cures for this.
You can find these cures in many of my books. |
|
| UM |
: |
Could you give us some advice for people
who work from home and have not enough space to keep the
working area separated from the rest of the house? |
| LT |
: |
Well, demarcate the two areas anyway - with
plants, dividers and so forth. |
|
| UM |
: |
What can I do if everything in my house
is against "good feng shui"? Is moving to another house
the only solution? |
| LT |
: |
There is always something that can be done.
No need to move but it is always a matter of how much
it will cost. Sometimes it is cheaper just to find another
place. |
|
| UM |
: |
Bamboo, red ribbons, bells. What is the
purpose of each of these things? |
| LT |
: |
Bamboo is for longevity - great if you need
WOOD energy. Red ribbons activate auspicious objects.
Bells bring fame and recognition. |
|
| UM |
: |
More to the point: what can I do if in
my house stairs directly face the front door? |
| LT |
: |
Hang a crystal, lights or windchime in between.
|
|
| UM |
: |
And what if I have three doors in a straight
line? |
| LT |
: |
Place a divider or door curtain. |
|
| UM |
: |
A spiral staircase? |
| LT |
: |
Not such a good thing. Close up the holes
in between the stairs. |
|
| UM |
: |
And if the dining room is located directly
under a toilet? |
| LT |
: |
Move the dining to another room. |
|
| UM |
: |
Is there some kind of lucky charm to
bring feng shui to wherever we go? |
| LT |
: |
Tons. Go to www.fsmegamall.com
for a big selection and choice. |
|
| UM |
: |
Thank you Lillian! |
| LT |
: |
My pleasure… |
