Introduction

Be sure, it wasn't by mistake that you've bought this book! Your interest in the present material means you're waiting for an answer, an answer you need. And you are going to find out, step by step, secrets, perhaps, unrevealed until now. Feng Shui (pronounced FUNG-SHWAY) means "wind and water"; these being the elemental powers that influence our destiny as people according to Chinese wisdom and theory. Feng Shui is very popular in China where people have been using it for many years. Feng Shui studies the influence our surroundings over our lives and helps us use the elements of nature to exploit fortune and luck. If you feel things aren't working out for you in a period of time, if you aren't feeling so good, you lack money and a series of misfortunes are knocking at your door, it's about time that you should be introduced to this discipline: Feng Shui. The role of Feng Shui practice is to determine and control Chi energy to offer us a better life. Chi is in constant movement and in a continuous change. All that exists on this planet can be rendered through the three fundamental types of Chi: earthly, humanly and heavenly. The flow of energy is vitally important. What are we trying to do with the help of Feng Shui? We can determine what kind of energies are favorable to us and then we can try to control them and, most important, lead them in the direction we want.

In Feng Shui, they say that wealth comes from what you can control. It's generally acknowledged. To do this, imagine that you're behind the steering wheel. The car is easy to control when at low speed. The same happens to the energy inside a home. It has to be as slow and sinuous as possible. This can be accomplished through the placement of the windows and doors, as well as through the placement of the furniture in the house. Through the careful placement of several objects (Feng Shui remedies) in different areas of the house Chi, energy can be controlled - thus changing negative aspects of our lives. The use of ancient rituals has the same effect: creating a better, more prosperous, healthier life. The present book will reveal some long forgotten, ancient magic rituals that have a certain special power - this is why I'm asking you that you use them carefully and only to attract improvement in the lives of your family and that of your own, as well. In the final chapter of the book you will find the most efficient Feng Shui remedies and a way to use them. They are cheap and available to anyone, easy to get or even DIY materials. Before we move on, I'd like to tell you a few words about MAGIC, the word that stirs up a feeling of excitement and well-being at the same time! "Any act performed on intention is a magical act" - once said Aleister Crowley. In its most exact meaning, the word "magic" appoints a series of actions destined to exploit the natural, mental and psychical powers of a person in order to accomplish a certain goal. Magic is simply the manifestation of objects, events and happenings we fail to understand. Some 200 years ago, "metal

birds" that can fly above clouds would have been considered magical. Fifty years ago, satellite TV would have been magical and, only twenty years ago, cell phone would have been truly magical. The more we believe in MAGIC, the more it manifests itself in front of our very eyes. Do not mistake magic with sorcery!!! "Sorcery has been named Magic: but Magic is Wisdom, and there is no wisdom in sorcery" - said Paracelsus. Magic is a science you can assimilate only after studying the esoteric disciplines for as long as 10 to 15 years, while sorcery is a practice of inferior magic, that has been used only to acquire money and for speculations of any nature. Magic represents the forces of the Universe in full movement, rejecting or attracting one another, ending in amazing results. Magic means the thorough study of astrology, Feng Shui, numerology, alchemy, hypnosis, telepathy, telechinestesia, radiestesia, bioenergy, Tarot etc. Sorcery uses the sacrifice of animals, the use of plants serums and elixirs, parts of deceased animals and even people, blood, the making of "dolls" with the purpose of hurting people, curses of any nature, love magic, superstitions, swindles and so on. Magic is used to improve the life of a person, not make it worse. Magic is not white or black (grey etc). It's simply MAGIC. Success and the best of CHI in your home and life!!!

I. Feng Shui advices

Put things in order in your home and life by applying Feng Shui advices. It really works!

Feng Shui was born in China, having a practical purpose that of finding appropriate spaces for cities/villages and places to live. Along the centuries, Feng Shui principles have expanded and now they have come to include anything to do with a specific location. Feng Shui philosophy teaches that all the things surrounding us contain a vital energy that flows within the space we live in and that influences our life. If you surround yourself with sharp edgy old furniture passed on from your parents then you are preparing for a gray future. Surround yourself with beautiful, colorful and comfortable things and you will instantly feel how the environment you live in helps and energically supports you in all you choose to accomplish. You will thus attract the health, happiness and the welfare you desire. Apartment plants are very important in Feng Shui philosophy because they link us to nature and contain so much benefic energy. A house without plants can create a slight feeling of uneasiness because we could feel alienated from a natural habitat. To place the colors, symbols, numbers and elements in the proper area, keep in mind the following guide:

� NORTH: creativity, personal development, new ideas, inspiration, career, music, art. Use water elements. This is the best place for: a pound, pool, Jacuzzi, a storehouse for metal gardening equipment and tools. Shapes: curvy, wavy, and corrugated. Avoid: stone objects, soil, and clay.

� NORTH-EAST: knowledge, wisdom, meditation/lecture, spiritual, intellectual and inner development, nature. Use earthly elements. This is the best place for: stone benches, decorating a garden with rocks,

This is the best place for: planting fruit trees and not only, medicine plants, arranging playgrounds, a sauna, doing tai chi exercises. Shapes: columns, cylinders.

FENG SHUI BASIC RULES Before starting to apply a Feng Shui procedure, it’s good for you to know this: 1. Remove from your house anything that is unnecessary and you don’t use anymore. Throw out the old magazines, unimportant documents (invoices, receipts, unnecessary papers etc.), clean your drawers from pens and pencils that doesn’t work and are just occupying the place, do this with the limbos and with the closets too (removing the clothes you don’t wear anymore).Throw out and fix all kind of domestic objects and machines, throw out the knick-knacks or other damaged objects. Move your furniture if it doesn’t look well and you can’t fix it. Throw out all of these without regrets. Throw the old to make place for new. 2. Replace the broken or cracked windows, fix the pipes not to dribble anymore, make the doors to close and not to creak. 3. Make sure that you don’t have too many furniture, because it can block the energy. 4. When you decided to make changes in your life, automatically you must to do changes in your house using the Feng Shui information. When you decided to activate a certain area of your house and of your life (money, health, evolution, knowledge, professional, family etc) you should also make a small ritual. Its purpose is to announce and to ask permission from the elementary spirits (fire, water, land, metal, air) for what are you going to do. So, during the night before you want to start making changes to one sector, put in the doorstep of your room entrance where you are about to activate a certain corner, a jar covered, where you should put 8 rice berries, leaving them there over the night. In the same time, make an appeal to the elementary spirits that will help you to fulfill your wish. 5. Don’t make changes in many sectors on the same time. Activate just one sector, and then wait 30 days until you can start with another one. The activation results will appear after at most 28 days (a monthly cycle). When you’re activating the sector, you are interested in, think intensive and visualize the result you are expecting.

6. When you want to buy a house, don’t go to visit it after the sunset…and if when you are entering in that house you feel nervous, agitated, renounce at it no matter how much do you like it.

FENG SHUI TIPS & TRICKS

� Use the benefic energy of plants by arranging miniature gardens in the corners of rooms or on the window sash. However, be careful about using thorny plants; most Feng Shui experts agree they are not favorable. If you MUST have one, hide it behind some other round-leafed plants.

� Wind chimes catch positive energy so be sure to hang them on your balcony or anywhere in a room. Their cylinders must be tubes that are open at both ends.

� If you can, set up a miniature waterfall amongst the plants. A water flow is highly beneficial to any home. However, be careful... water flow does not mean a leaking fosse in the bathroom; this actually is the symbol of waste and attracts money loss. So, fix up anything broken in your house.

� The center of your apartment is the symbol of good luck. It should be as open as possible to help the flow of positive energy. That big table in the middle of the room... give it up for a low sleek coffee table placed a tad towards the wall.

� First of all, remember that dust, too much unnecessary furniture that gives the feeling of crowdedness in the room, dark corners, rooms with too much walls, these are the factors that attract negative energy. Therefore, the absolute first thing you should do is to start with a general cleaning of the house. Vacuum, scrub the floors, throw some of that useless furniture out and check out your closets. Are they dark and jam-packed with junk and old things? Maybe it's about time to give up those things that don't do you any good, except collect dust and take up space.

� Are there corners in your house the sun light cannot reach? Set up a lamp or something alike. The light will send that negative energy away;

Page 9: Feng-Shui tips

they say dark corners are shelters for negative energy. Try to put those corners to use so that they make the house look more spacious and remember to clean places like this regularly.

� Positive energy flows into your home mainly through the front floor, so make the hallway be as warm and well lit as possible. I know, the light bulb may have gone out and you're too busy to change it when this happens. This may be the reason why welfare is not a part of your home yet. Don't even think about the power consumption; try instead to focus on the moments of bliss of coming home from work to a warm and cozy place.

� Mirrors are very important in Feng Shui. The Chinese usually use octagonal ones with inscriptioned wooden frames, but if you can't find such an article, a plain mirror will do just fine. They have the ability to double the existing space and to make it look more hospitable. Use them everywhere except for your bedroom where they are inappropriate.

FENG SHUI IN THE BEDROOM More than just a room where you can rest, the bedroom represents the most private space, more personal than any other area of the house, this being the place where deco skills and comfort should combine harmoniously. Here are some recommendations that applied totally or partially, can bring you more success in your social and private life than you would think and will definitely improve your love life.

� In a Feng Shui bedroom, the bed must more spacious than it should for the person/persons that use it because a small bed can minimize the potential of accumulating success whereas social and couple life is concerned. A bed that also has a bedpost can "support" you in this way.

� It is highly recommended that you light up the room using lamps or even candles. Either way, the light shouldn't be too powerful but it should create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Pictures of wild animals or sharp edged objects should be avoided to use in this room. A wise choice for a Feng Shui practitioner would be placing a painting of a mountain view on the wall that supports the bed.

Page 10: Feng-Shui tips

� Do you have one or more electronic devices in your bedroom? A TV, VCR or audio system... they have to get out of there as they generate negative energy. Also, Feng Shui teaches that a TV in your room is the enemy of a good rest and intimate life.

� All sorts of baskets, bottles, books, newspapers and magazines placed next to or under your bed, clothes thrown on the bedroom floor and exercise equipments do not belong in a Feng Shui bedroom. Dry or artificial plants do not bring any good energy, also.

� If you have a mirror in your bedroom, it must not reflect the door or window because it pulls away energy and Chi flow. If the ceiling is too low, it is recommended that you place a mirror in the room that reflects the ceiling, getting rid of the negative energy effects.

� A bed positioned facing the bedroom entrance is in a "lethal" position, highly negative whereas Feng Shui is concerned. If you have no choice and you simply must keep the bed in this position, place a decorative object between the supporting legs and the bedroom door to rid yourself of the negative effects.

� Chromatically, pastel, pale colors work best. Pale green or blue, creamy yellow, butter - the color of maternity - these are the tones that encourage a good relationship and improves couple life.

9 FENG SHUI PIECES OF ADVICE TO DECORATE YOUR OFFICE OR WORKSPACE

1. CLEAN YOUR OFFICE (or the room you use for work) Get rid of anything unnecessary, disturbing or distracting. 2. PLACE YOUR DESK IN THE POWER POSITION Position your office so that when you're working you can see the entrance. If you can't, place a mirror to help you see the door. 3. MAKE SURE NOTHING IN YOUR OFFICE IS MAKING YOU PHYSICALLY UNCOMFORTABLE

Page 11: Feng-Shui tips

11

Use a screen protection filter for your monitor, a comfortable chair that doesn't hurt your back, a keyboard and mouse that doesn't make your hands hurt etc. The more uncomfortable you feel, the less energy you have. 4. ORGANIZE YOUR COMPUTER Don't keep your documents at random on your hard disk or desktop and throw unnecessary documents away every now and then. 5. SET UP A PROSPERITY CORNER As you enter the office, the corner of the room that is the furthest away on your left represents the prosperity corner. Is it well set up? If it's messy, that doesn't do you any good. This is where you should have a valuable object or a positive and motivating affirmation. 6. CREATE A NICE VIEW FOR YOURSELF As you sit in your chair doing paperwork do you see something that excites you, makes you happy, or does your view that makes you mad or something that does not move you at all? It's recommended that you place an image close to your heart right in front of you. 7. KEEP YOUR WINDOWS CLEAN AND DUST PERIODICALLY Cleanliness always brings up people to good spirits! 8. BUY AN APPARTMENT FLOWER Place it in your office as it brings life to your workspace and absorbs toxins in the air. 9. FIX OR THROW OUT BROKEN THINGS Don't keep them in a bad shape. What doesn't work or is not whole is an energy blocker. By consciously arranging your workspace, it will offer you better conditions for work. Feng Shui has a powerful effect over your life and, by living under its principles, you will get more out of life.

FENG SHUI IN THE CAR

� Car owners can become more calm and less stressed out even during rush hour if they make a habit out of parking opposite their houses, according to a recent study, conducted by Feng Shui experts.

Page 12: Feng-Shui tips

According to that report, drivers would have but benefits out of spreading crystallized salt inside the cars and tying a blue cord on the mirror. Raymond Catchpole, an expert in the traditional Chinese art of space decoration and member of the Feng Shui Society board examined four cars: a Nissan Micra, A Volkswagen Passat, a Porsche Boxster and a Lexus SUV. Here is his advice for drivers:

� Drivers must park their cars opposite the house they live in as the cars are like tigers on the prowl that can threaten the inhabitants of the house in case of parking facing the building.

� The car must be entirely clean as messiness can drain the energy out of the driver.

� To eliminate negative energy that can affect your psychic well being from your car, the owner should sit on the driver's sear and start singing, clapping or simply listening to music.

� Keep your windows clean. This allows Chi energy to come into the car. In Feng Shui terms, the windows are the eyes of the car.

� Tie a blue cord on your navigation system or your mirror. Blue represents water as an element and induces a mood that is perfect for driving giving you clarity, precision and self-possession.

� Spread crystallized salt on the rug of the car. It absorbs the negative energy of the passengers.

II. Magic Rituals Moving forward, you will be introduced to more rituals that have been experimented and checked and that have given amazing results. The most important elements to accomplishing your wishes are the following: 1. Unlimited faith that God will help you finish everything you start

2. Autosuggestion plays a most important role

3. Focusing and rigorously following the ritual

4. The mind is the strongest existing force on this planet, it is the drive

that moves everything, that creates and also destroys

� All the rituals you will see here, or anywhere else, although written as "recipes" (yes, just like in the cookbook), aren't so strict in what the ingredients are concerned...

Every ritual has to be adapted to the area we live in, the area we put it into practice! This does not mean it is not serious or that they will not work, but, the place we live in makes a big difference because the fruits, vegetables, condiments and so on, they are all specific to a certain area.

� IT'S VERY IMPORTANT to follow all the other instructions in the recipe word for word! This includes quantities, the hours or days the ritual should be performed and so on.

� EVEN MORE IMPORTANT are your will and good intentions, your confidence in the ritual and your belief that your wish will come true!!

Actually, this plays the most important role

in getting what you want from life! The more confidence you have in this, the more chances of success there are!! So... NEVER forget this very special "ingredient"!

Page 14: Feng-Shui tips

14

They say, "You are what you think"... So, BE CAREFUL of what you are thinking about! If you are charged with faith, courage and a light heart, it is time to visualize the object of your dreams and start working.

Good Luck and... SUCCESS!

A. Magic Feng Shui Rituals

1. MAGIC MONEY SPELLS By popular request, I thought I would put together this little list of simple things you can do to increase cash flow ...sometimes, the most absurd and smallest practices seem to work better than a ritual that you have to make into a big dramatic production. I have tried these ones and they have at one time or another worked for me...

� Every time you see a coin on the floor, you are to stomp on it and go 'Money on the floor, money on the floor!' Then pick it up and put it in your wallet.

� Always keep a bowl of small change, (foreign or odd coins are best) in a bowl by your front door. Antiques or old keys bring money too.

� Buy a jade plant. This is that small dwarf like plant with the big fleshy leaves. Put it by the front door, or in the northeast corner of your home, it also is helpful in the office. Keep the leaves clean and free from dust.

� Write a cheque to yourself for the total amount of money you need and the date you need it by ...It helps if you use gold pen and make the cheque look as official as possible. It is also good to anoint the cheque with Money Drawing Oil, which can be bought commercially, or if you don't have that -- bergamot, vetivert, cinnamon or orange oil. Then fold the check eight times and put it in a dark place. (This one once worked for me.

Page 15: Feng-Shui tips

15

I needed to make $120.0000 in one year. I made $80,000 and someone lent me another $20.000. So the Universe let me have one hundred thousand of it ...I figure my lack of faith accounted for the shortfall.) This is an especially good one to do at New Year's, on special holidays or your birthday.

� Make a money tree. This is done usually at Christmas ... but you could do it any time of the year. You find an old tree branch, which looks relatively like the body of a small tree and you actually attach money to it with clothespins. The idea is that whatever you attach is worth ten times as much. For instance if you attach a five dollar bill, it actually represents five hundred dollars. Don't have any money? You can use monopoly money or even attach green slips of paper with the amounts written on it. I know it sounds nuts, but I have had surprising results with this one.

� Short on cash? A quick fix is to buy a head of iceberg lettuce, sprinkle it with olive oil and salt, and eat the whole thing raw. Each time you take a mouthful, you think about all the green you need coming to you. All three ingredients represent security, money and stability.

� Keep little pots of rosemary, sage, parsley, thyme and basil at your front door or on windowsill. These herbs are thought to draw money to you... as long as they are kept healthy and alive.

� Make a God Box. Find a beautiful box, any size will do...but just make sure you really like the box. Decorate it with images that you really like, and that will represent how serene you will feel once you are out of debt. I made a little gold one and put stars on it.

(Actually, this is a great project for you if you have kids because the God Box can be used for other requests besides money.) Make a little slit in the top, so it becomes like a suggestion box. If you find yourself in need, you write your request on a piece of paper and drop it in the box. I once did this, and after the end of a year, as I looked at my requests I was amazed at how many of my wishes were taken care of... about ninety percent. I think this works because once you write it on the piece of paper, it causes you to detach from anxiety about the matter or its outcome because you are giving your problem to a higher power to take care of.

� Ok, this one is my favorite, because it is just such a joy to do and it always puts me in a great mood. Fill your pockets with all the shiny

Page 16: Feng-Shui tips

16

spare change you have ...then, at night, preferably when the Moon is going from its New to Full phase, you sneak out to the playground and hide the coins at the bottom of the slide, under the swing set, in the sandbox...in the wading pool...anywhere where a delighted child might possibly find the coin. Do not let anyone see you do this. It is supposed to be a secret.

This practice plays with the laws of circulating prosperity and somehow, I find, that the child's surprise and delight somehow becomes your own, in your own life, thanks to the benevolent cosmic law that says that what you put out comes back to you tenfold...a found coin is such a treasure to a small child, maybe the Universe will bring you a treasure as well.

2. FENG SHUI FOR PROSPERITY The first thing that you need to do is get yourself a good compass and determine what is in the southeastern corner of your home. The Southeastern sector of your home governs both your cash flow as well as your faith in the idea that you will always be able to create money. According to the classic and traditional rules of Feng Shui (the ancient art of object placement to increase good energy in your life) the items that you place in this part of your should be things that align with the energies of personal abundance. Things that Create Prosperity: The colors purple, red and green. These three colors support prosperity energy in a space. A pleasant still life to attract this energy is a pretty glass bowl containing a purple amethyst, a red carnelian and a green piece of jade. You also might want to consider painting this corner one of these colors or using purple, red and green lighting in this corner. An easy way to enhance the color value in this corner is to purchase a lava lamp in purple, red or green. The great thing about a lava lamp is that it also moves, and in Feng Shui, anything electronic or moving helps keep the money circulating in your life. Symbols of wealth. Actual money and gold objects are good to display in this area of your house. A bowl of foreign or antique coins can also augment this sector. You can also find statues of "gold ingots" to your local

Page 17: Feng-Shui tips

17

China Town. A wonderful statue to place in this area is of a Prosperity Buddha lifting a gold ingot over his head. You might also want to consider placing a gold or green statue of a Chinese Money Toad (this is a three-legged statue of a frog or toad with a coin in its mouth) or a statue of leaping goldfish Fake Money. This is the place to put that fake million-dollar bill you got in a novelty store in a frame and hang it. Some people even keep monopoly money in this area as a symbol of their circulating prosperity. A bowl of foreign coins can also be placed here to magnetize wealth into your life. Fountain. This is one of the two best places in the entire ba-gua to place a flowing fountain. The others is your Career sector. Flowing water represents the flowing of money. The Chinese consider wood or bamboo fountains to be especially auspicious when placed in this area. Goldfish. This is a great area to put an aquarium. Traditionally the Chinese place eight orange or yellow gold fish and one black goldfish in an aquarium to attract money. The number 8 represents prosperity in Feng Shui. The idea too is that if misfortune hits your family, then the ninth black goldfish will die and receive the misfortune instead of you. You can also buy the traditional Chinese poster of this image in Chinese specialty shops. Eight Horses. This is an image of eight horses that can be purchased either a statue or as a poster that adds good chi to this sector. However please note the position of your front door when positioning this poster. Make sure that the direction the horses are running is INTO the house and not out the front or back doors! You can buy this statue in gold, red, green, crystal and orange. When placing it in the southwest, red, green, brass or gold are the best styles to choose. Jewels. Treasure chests or displays of real or costume jewelry can help attract the chi of abundance to your southeastern prosperity sector. Symbols of Luxury. This is the place-to-place photographs, fine art or statuary that represents the aspiration of "having it all." A toy model of a Porsche, an image of a country mansion or a photograph of a man standing at the highest mountain in the world are the kinds of images that you should consider putting in this corner.

Page 18: Feng-Shui tips

18

Jade Plant. The Jade plant is the ultimate symbol of prosperity for the Chinese. It is flat round leaves and compact shape makes it the Asian equivalent of a money tree. Fruit Trees. Small orange, lemon or lime trees also contain money-drawing properties and are ideal to place in this sector. Things That Put You in the Poorhouse: Clutter. The planet Venus rules prosperous energy. Venus will not enter a dirty home. Piles of junk serve as an obstacle so that positive energy cannot pool and accumulate in your space. Leaks. If you have a kitchen or a bathroom with a leaky faucet in this area than the theory is that, your money will also be leaking away. Toilets. If you have a toilet in this area and there is nothing you can do about it, then make sure that you keep the lid closed at all times to keep your cash from being "flushed away." Kitty litter boxes. Animal toilets have the same negative association as toilets -- especially if they smell bad. Broken objects. The theory is that "If it's broke, you probably are too!"Remove anything that does not work including clocks that keep the wrong time, dead batteries and similar decrepit items from this area. Also, replace any burnt out light bulbs, as it is essential that this area be well lit. Dead or withering plants Anything obviously decomposing is antithetical to the energy of prosperity and should be removed from this area. Trash cans. Like the toilet, this item drains vital energy from the prosperity area. Mages of Poverty or Want Art that depicts objects or landscapes in a withering, rustic or decomposing state should not be displayed here. Also avoid placing photographs of yourself when you were going through a "broke phase" (such as when you were a student in college or just recently divorced) here. You might repeat the situation!

3. FENG SHUI RITUALS FOR LOVE Here are some very simple rituals, some old, and some new that might help you achieve your romantic intentions. A bouquet of roses set in the southwestern corner of your bedroom is thought to attract love. To prevent a lover from straying, light a green candle to St. Martha and ask her to keep him faithful to you. To find out if your lover will stay with you, cut an apple in half and offer him or her other half. If he or she accepts the apple, he or she will be with you a long time. Feed your lover a fig, with your initials carved lightly into it, to keep him or her faithful. Select the following cards from a Tarot Deck - The King of Cups, the Queen of Cups, the Ace of Cups and the Lovers. Fan these cards around a pink candle and light it. Keep these cards spread out in this configuration for a period of seven days. This is an affirmation of your romantic intention to find or keep a lover or soul mate. Procure a lock of your lover's hair and twist it with a lock of your own in a clockwise direction nine times. Tie both ends with red thread and place in a safe place, such as a locket. Carry this in your pocket. To have him or her think or dream of you more often, anoint the corners of a photograph with orange and rose oil and place the photograph under your pillow. To attract a new lover, light a red candle to St. Barbara and ask her to make you attractive to your soul mate. To keep you on your lover's mind, do this after each time you part ways. Strike a match on the heel of your shoe and say "Be True." To bless your marriage and keep him faithful, serve him cooked cabbage on the new moon of every month.

A PIECE OF ADVICE: To be sure, that negative energy or other drawbacks will not stop you from accomplishing the ritual successfully, firstly take a refreshing bath and then sit down somewhere quiet and peaceful. The next step consists in focusing on your own energy, on your will and desires; this is essential to obtaining what you want. Light up the candle colored appropriate to your wish and invoke the power of God, your guardian angel and the forces of nature, as well. Silence is very important for your concentration and is needed in these rituals to help them succeed. Specifications Did you know that you can tell a lot from the way a candle burns off, and it can offer you a precise answer to your questions? The flame of the candle can tell you many secrets from your love life and professional one, as well. To receive this information you must light up a candle (make sure it is of the appropriate color) and put the candle between a glass of water and a small pile of incense; then, focus on your question for a few minutes; if you want to ask a second question you must light another candle. In case the answer is positive, let the candle burn out. In case the answer is negative, put the candle out and throw it in a nearby stream. How can you identify the nature of your response? It is simple a) A normal, stabile candle flame is the answer for harmony, good friendships, happiness in your love life, peace and quiet. b) A small candle flame that goes out frequently tells you to be careful about trouble in your love life, debts, uncertainty or the fact that your entourage will not give you the attention you deserve. c) A flame that trickles talks about decisions doomed to failure, be careful of infidelity; leave any project for a later time.

d) A clear, sparkly flame that grows in height tells of joys to come and that it is time to make important decisions; possible serious engagements. e) A trembling flame that sends out lots of smoke warns us it is not the time to be aggressive, that you risk arguments, that your partner is not sincere, possible health problems as well. f) A bluish flame means you can rely on the help of those around you to accomplish the goal you have your mind set on. g) A red tone flame warns you over possible emotional conflicts.

2. MONEY RITUAL If your current financial situation is in a bad shape and you want to improve this aspect of your life, know that, through this ritual, you will get the sum of money you desire. If you already have a good situation whereas money is concerned and you want to maximize your earnings, this ritual will not help you out in that sense. Basic recommendations:

� Don't perform this ritual on a Sunday; it is preferable that you choose Mondays and Thursdays.

� Don't sleep during the daytime by no means, three days before the ritual � At the end and at the beginning of the ritual say "Our Father"

Choose a room facing sunrise and make sure that through the course of your ritual nothing will disturb you (that means no cell phones, doorbells and so on). Choose a Monday or a Thursday between the hours of 14.15 - 16.15 or at midnight. These hours characterize the green cosmic flow, which is responsible for money flow.

III. Mandalas

Mandala is the Sanskrit word for "circle". It is a sacred diagram that represents the vital cosmic forces. The universal energy holds several vibration models that are represented in the physical plane through sacred geometrical figures. The Buddhists build mandalas with the purpose of meditation and enlightenment. Some are drawn or painter, others are 3D. They can be made of different sizes and of different materials. Denise Linn once wrote in one of her books that "The use of mandalas in a house is one of the fastest, most powerful ways of activating vitality and energy in a living environment". In a word, mandalas have the role of balancing the different types of energy in the room they are placed it, to charge a home with benefic energy and activate a certain area of your house. Although there are some techniques and specific rituals, they are hard to perform and not anybody can make their own mandala. However, we can use them highly effectively in our homes to attract harmony, health and success in our life, by creating out own mandalas. Through applying or using a ritual or a remedy, your intention and strong desire to succeed plays the most important role... this helps you get remarkable results even when the ritual or remedy hasn't been followed word for word. Therefore, with the thought of succeeding in mind and the intention to create a better life for yourself, mandalas can be bought/manufactured/drawn and placed on a wall as a painting, in the area we want to activate. In addition, if you do not have the possibility of buying one or drawing one yourself, you can use the mandalas presented in this book - print to use them for your intended purpose.

Page 31: Feng-Shui tips

31

Be careful though! Mandalas are considered sacred and cannot be used for any purpose other than that of attracting and activating positive energy in your life. Do not use the power of the mandalas with the intention of harming anyone! It will backfire on to you with the power of ten! An original, but still effective way to use the power of the mandalas, is that of creating your own mandala by using different objects of special meaning to you that reflect your intentions exactly. All you have to do is establish the centre of a circle as a focus point and the surround it by objects associated with your sacred intent, for instance healing, attracting wealth or finding love. Then meditate using your mandala with any chance you get to increase its power.

Below are some mandalas and their way of use:

The Love Mandala: As its name goes, it can be used to attract a significant other, for finding love, for creating harmony within a family. It is very powerful and should be placed in the love area of the ba-gua map.
