Bad Direction Remedies?

[myfs_104406]

Hi,

I am moving into a new studio flat in 2 weeks time, and I am trying to draw up some plans to help me decide where to place furniture. Normally what I do is apply the method where you divide the room into 8 areas and each correspond toa certain area in your life. What I also do is, by using my number, find my best and worst directions and try to align furniture accordingly.

So far in my renting history this hasnt been a problem, however, my new flat has a big problem. My best directions are SW, W, NW and NE, but the problem is that (with the exception of the W direction), to ensure I am facing my best directions, I would need to have all my furniture going diagonally against the walls which, especially for a studio flat is NOT a good use of space or appealing layout.

The bed I can just about get to face in the W direction however that too isnt the most convinient since it will mean blocking the lower part of my window, and also I would be sleeping 90 degrees tothe direct flow between my window & door.

I am hoping that someone here can help me by telling me whether there is any alternatives I can do to get around this problem and still have the best feng shui for my room, i.e.any remedies to the problem, or perhaps something to counteract the bad directions?

Finally, does anyone know how much, in the UK, it might cost for a basic consultation with someone full qualified in the feng shui area?

Thank you for your help

Dear Danielle,

In my opinion, the method that you are currently using is often known as the "trip and fall" method.

Touch wood! But, imagine, a one-time visitor or a new visitonr in your home - - visiting in the evening. Suddenly, there is a momentary power-outage.

Because of the 'odd' or unusual placement of the furniture, the guest may perhaps, trip and fall!

Again, this is like the stories we hear in the US, where someone blames the government for placing the lamp post at the wrong place - which resulted in a car "kissing-it".

Best directions or facing best directions are considered as "nice-to-have". If can face a good direction - very good. If not, what the "heck!".

More importantly, or higher weightge should go to the Shapes and Forms of the site, building, first. And interior furniture should equally be placed in (first choice) best Shapes and forms, then it is "nice" to have furniture especially, the work or the bed. Other furnitures are often less of a major consideration.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
