Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 20, 2005 Staff Share Posted February 20, 2005 Dear Sophia,Frankly, it is often wise not to read too many "wrong books". And often reading too many may result in "forcing" us into following too many silly "taboos".The key fundamental thing that all of us must remember that we are in this earth for a relatively short period and too many of such taboos can "ruined" our otherwise convenient life.Take the silly case of the idea that " we must not place a tv set facing our bed" or must cover it day in day out".In past forum messages, I had mentioned that if the argument was that the tv screen is like a reflective mirror. Some wise guy would say that when we sleep, our spirit wake up, see itself in the mirror, got a shock!But what happen if our spirit wakes up, would like to check his/her hair or face before going off roaming around..All these have to do with "tolerance" levels. Some of us can sleep very well with mirrors all round e.g. on the wardrope etc.. but some of us feel uncomfortable (perhaps -- thanks to the thought put into their head of the first story). It is like some of us can eat very hot chili-peppers while others cannot.And if we look at the new monitor screens such as LCD monitors, we can hardly see our profile in it!The key to Feng Shui is also about qi flow. Besides placing our furniture based on good Feng Shui practises, it is also good to have air circulating within a room or home. Thus also has the feel good factor (cooling) and often good for both qi flow and human luck factors (feel comfortable).How often do we see a fan crashing down on us? Often the fan is securely tied to the ceiling. And rarely if ever we hear of one falling down and "killing" someone. Perhaps, many more people would die ina car accident rather than being hit or injured or killed by a ceiling fan.Again, fundamentally, the same statement applies:YOU STAY HERE, WE (Geomancers) DON'T!Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 2/15/2005 7:44:09 PM, Anonymous wrote:Dear Master Cecil LeeRead fromone of the bookthat fan are not encourage toplace above the head or bed.As it may fall off or bad forhealth.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted May 2, 2013 Staff Share Posted May 2, 2013 Frankly, this has more to do with common sense than Feng Shui....

Staff Cecil Lee Posted May 18, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 18, 2015 Under symbolism in Feng Shui, this fan's trio (three) blades are considered "too distinctive-sharp". Thus, ideally, best to avoid such a fan blade design in the bedroom. Does this design reminds one of a ships propeller?

Staff Cecil Lee Posted August 17, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 17, 2015 These fan blades are sloped upwards at the tip. Most likely these fan blades take the cue from the latest air-planes that have curved tips also.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 27, 2017 Staff Share Posted March 27, 2017 In reality taboos are not Feng Shui. But "bad things" are always blamed on Feng Shui... Nevermind... so be it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
