It will help you the whole year. Thanks, bro! Actually, just a few minutes ago, I went online to check: I realised that in all the years (1996; 2002; 2008; 2014) that my zodiac clashed with the Tai Sui, there was something very traumatic and upsetting which happened to me in those years. Sometimes it was one big incident. Other times it was a series of extreme misfortune. And sadly, some of those events are still quite painful to recall. And for some of them, the damage can last beyond that year and spill over into the following year. I only found out more about the Tai Sui sometime last year, so when I learnt that this year (2017) was going to be another one where my zodiac would clash with the Tai Sui, I decided to get a Tai Sui amulet. I also got a few more other cures also, including one called the Lady of Nine Heavens Anti-Misfortune amulet, because this year the Five Yellow will attack my zodiac.

I have a lot of jealous colleagues who gossip about me, so I started carrying the Evil Eye Keychains from WOFS to ward off this problem. Since carrying these amulets the “eye” portion seems to break off after 1-2 months. I’ve gone through 3 of them already! The Om Mani portion of the Keychain is still there – should I throw it away? What should I do? Yes indeed you must be a prime object of jealousy among your colleagues if your Evil Eye keeps dropping away… This suggests to me that you need to carry something more potent! I recommend carrying any of our sacred mirrors. For countering gossip and slander, you should carry the Double Pyramid Red Goddess mirror with you at all times. This brings you the protection of the Red Goddess. Keep it in your handbag, and when you feel jealous eyes nearby, take it out and swipe it around you in an anti-clock wise direction once. As for the OMANI portions of your key chains, you can keep them in a drawer at home or throw them into a river to benefit the beings there.

Ethan_Oleh Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Colleague Using Black Magic on Me I work as a guest hostess in a night club and I suspect my colleague has cast a black magic spell on me. My tips used to be much higher but these days I seem to be very unlucky – always getting sick or getting injured on nights when the club is full. My boss is also finding fault with me and assigning me to guests who are less generous than before. Someone also commented that my face has developed a “dark aura”. Please help me. In your line of business, this is very common - so start by wearing powerful amulet protection from the White Umbrella Goddess. The White Umbrella Goddess specialises in cutting away all forms of dark magic! Wear the OM pendant (her seed syllable) and the White Umbralla Goddess scarf while working. Invite her image as a plaque or statue into your home and chant her mantra HUM MAMA HUM NI SOHA (108 times) daily. Also, offer incense to her daily and ask for her protection. Offer incense to the local deity of your work place and request for his protection and to bring more tips for you. Do this consistently for three weeks and the darkness will be slowly lift away, and things will return to normal soon.

Definitely get a replacement as soon as possible, either the same item, or something stronger, as mentioned. That person's office environment must be very toxic for that to happen repeatedly.

Ethan_Oleh Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) When Someone Gives You Money On A Lucky Day It is the surest sign that you will enjoy a significant increase in money luck. A lucky day is usually a new moon or full moon day. Or it can be a day of your animal sign. Check the Feng Shui Almanac for these lucky days. Make sure you keep the cash given to you on that day, as it is described as “good luck money”. Money can be given to you in many ways. It could be someone repaying a debt owed to you, or someone giving you an unexpected tip for some favour performed. This is the belief behind the tradition of giving lucky money on the fifteen days of the lunar New Year. These fifteen days of the year’s first moon are looked on as “days of miracles”, so money received on these days is always regarded as lucky money.

Ethan_Oleh Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) When Bird Droppings Land On Your Head Many people believe this to be a major sign of wealth coming from heaven. Hence, although, it is really yucky and a major inconvenience, when something like this happens to you, take comfort in the fact that this is described as good luck being just around the corner! In fact, most things associated with birds tend to spell good fortune, such as when birds fly to your home and start making nests in and around your house. While bats bring abundance, birds bring good news and opportunities. The next time a flock of ravens, pigeons or magpies come to your home, feed them with bird seeds. Birds are also said to be powerful protectors and guardians. Even crows are said to be messengers of the Gods. So welcome birds with open arms.

Ethan_Oleh Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Lighting Up Your Career There are those who slog all their lives with little or nothing to show although they are multi-talented, very able people who worked hard and one wonders why. Is there no justice for these people who has the shining potential to be more than they turn out to be? So, if you are wondering what you can do to literally 'light' up your career and get a move on the fast track, here are some Feng Shui tips for you. Spotlights Spotlights are extremely helpful when it is shining directly at the South wall of a room. However, be very careful when you are using this medium as it also means excess energy. Remember the golden rule of Feng Shui: balance is the key word. A table lamp Observe the round shape of this lamp. This is an excellent purveyor of Feng Shui energizer as it is round (which denotes an endless cycle of good luck) and the color is rusty red (an auspicious Yang color). A table lamp How unfriendly this lamp is! There is no 'area' to welcome or accumulate the good Chi. It is basically all 'stick and bones'. A crystal chandelier This is one of the few all-round excellent Feng Shui energizers. The crystals in the chandelier reflect the light, bringing in added glow and warmth. Hang this in the South corner of any room, and the residents would bask in its warmth. Edited March 25, 2017 by Ethan_Oleh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan_Oleh Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Individual Fame & Success Orientations For the Chinese, having a good name and reputation is probably one of the most important qualities. When you have a reputation for being honorable, honest, trustworthy, loyal and possessing great integrity, you are said to be a superior man. Nowhere are the attributes of the Superior Man more eloquently expressed than in the I-Ching, the Book of Changes, perhaps the greatest classic to have survived the centuries in China, now being popularized int he West. Both Taoism and Confucianism derive much of their philosophy from this great text. Feng Shui also draws from the teachings of the I-Ching, and indeed, much of feng shui interpretation is based on the meanings attributed to the trigrams, the three-lined symbols which feature so prominently in feng shui analysis. These trigrams are the root symbols of the I-Ching's 64 hexagram symbols. Drawing from the I-Ching, one's personal Fame & Success orientation can be found based on one's personal Kua number. Your Kua NumberYour fame & success orientation 1 SE for both males & females 2 NE for both males & females 3 S for both males & females 4 N for both males & females 5 NE for males & SW for females 6 W for both males & females 7 NW for both males & females 8 SW for both males & females 9 E for both males & females Sit facing your personal fame and success orientation when you are working at your desk, eating at the dining table and especially when you are attending an important meeting (be it a social or work occasion). When you sleep, sleep with your head pointed to your personal best direction. There are of course many other schools of feng shui which can help bring you fame and recognition, such as flying star feng shui (which depends on the natal chart of your house and the time period in question), eight aspirations feng shui (which relies on the placement of physical enhancers in your fame corner) and symbolic feng shui (again making use of feng shui ornaments, shapes and design). But even if you cannot change the position of your front door, paint the South of your house red, or find suitable symbols to use, all you eed to tap your personal lucky directions is a compass.

Ethan_Oleh Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Hang Windchimes to Attract Fame and Popularity How do we attract fame and popularity into our lives? The solution lies in hanging windchimes in the South corner of a home or living-room. Contrary to popular beliefs, hanging windchimes in the home DO NOT attract naughty ghosts or spirits! In fact, windchimes are good enhancing tools that can help boost your popularity! Wind Chimes can be made of bamboo, copper or stainless steel rods hung in groups of eight or five. The type of rods used must be hollow to allow Chi to be chanelled upwards. The swaying movement of the windchimes produces light, tinkling sounds. These sounds enable the accumulation of good Chi to settle which in turn welcomes fame luck into the home. The tinkling sounds also liven up the environment with doses of Yang energy. Consider the following tips if you decide to hang windchimes to create auspicious energies in your home:1) The material of the windchime Choose the windchime material according to the element which rules that particular corner. Thus, it follows that metal windchime are best suited for the West, Northwest and North corners. Use ceramic windchimes for the Southwest, Northeast and Center sectors of the home. Hang wooden windchimes such as bamboo in the South, East or Southeast corners. The fire element is in the South while the East and Southeast corners represent the wood element. As wood feeds fire in the productive cycle, hanging wooden windchimes will activate fame luck in the South. Hanging metal windchimes in the wood corners is to be avoided at all costs since metal destroys wood.2) The number of rods in a windchime The best number of rods to have in a windchime is 6, 7, 8 or 9. However, take note that the number of rods used has different effects on luck. Use 6 or 8 rods if you want to add a dash of luck in your mundane lives. If you want to chase bad luck away, 5 is most suitable.3) The purpose of hanging a windchime This will depend on whether the windchime is used to suppress bad luck or to energize luck. If the windchime is used to deflect poison arrows caused by overhead beams, then a five rod metal windchime should be used.

Ethan_Oleh Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Meeting Up With A Snake Is another sign of good fortune. Whether in your garden, inside the home, or out trekking, if you meet up with a snake, it means something or someone important is coming into your life. Never ever try to harm or kill a snake when confronted with one. The more poisonous the snake, the better is the good fortune. The king cobra is described as a snake of extreme good fortune. Whatever you do, never kill a snake as they are also associated with some spiritual presence. They usually slither away themselves when they sense human presence.

The general consensus is that when it is your left hand that tingles, money is coming to you – the 4-digit kind or winning a lottery. When it is the right hand, it means money is leaving you. The same interpretation is also placed on hands that suddenly start to itch. If your left palm starts to itch, mercilessly rejoice. It means you are about to come into a windfall!

Ethan_Oleh Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) The Seven Auspicious Mountains on Your Hand Mounts Reveal Strong or Weak Leadership Potential According to the Tung Shu, the Chinese Almanac, there are seven mountains on the inner palm of the hand which reveal the inner attributes and determination levels of each person. The contours of these mountains tell us much about a person’s character and personality and they are named after the seven planets that correspond to the planets of the Great Bear. Whether the mountains bring luck or not depends on how “fleshy” and prominent they are on the palm. When they are full and obvious to the eye, they always indicate good fortune. When all seven mountains are full and prominent, this indicates a fleshy hand which is always indicative of a good and long life. The Mountain of Jupiter This occurs as a slight raising of the flesh at the base of the index finger. If this area is full and fleshy and is matched with a long index finger, it shows that this person is very ambitious, has strong leadership abilities and has a tendency to be bossy. He/she has the fate to be the boss in any situation and is able to manage and control others. This is an honest and optimistic person, but also someone who enjoys power. If this part of the hand is flat however, such a person lacks confidence and could suffer from occasional personality disorders. If it is overdeveloped, this person can be overly arrogant, proud and egoistic. Too high a mountain suggests someone hungry for power who could be ruthless in the pursuit of such power. The Mountain of Apollo This is a raising of the flesh at the base of the ring finger. A well-developed Mountain of Apollo suggests someone warm, optimistic and radiating great enthusiasm. When this part of the hand is flat, the person can be cold and cynical, lacking appreciation of the finer things of life. When the Mountain of Apollo is overdeveloped, such a person tends to be brash, insensitive and boastful. The Mountain of Saturn This is located at the base of the middle finger. When this mountain appears full and well developed, this person possesses a good sense of responsibility and is concerned with seeking wisdom in the management of others. He/she will thus be a compassionate kind of leader. An overdeveloped Mountain of Saturn indicates someone strong and silent, who can come across as cold and unfeeling, often to the point of appearing unfeeling and haughty. This kind of person can be very difficult to understand. When this mountain is flat, the person is rarely serious and frivolous most of the time. The Mountain of Moon This is located at the base of the palm where it joins the wrist. A person with an overdeveloped Moon Mountain tends to be unpredictable and often changes his/her mind frequently. When well developed, this person is caring and compassionate as well as creative and imaginative. When it is flat, the person will always allow emotional matters and problems to be obstacles. This is a person who cannot sustain long term trust or relationships. There is little stability in his/her friendships. The Mountain of Mercury This is located at the base of the small finger. A full and fleshy Mountain here along with a long small finger exceeding the first joint of the ring finger indicates a person who is responsive, flexible, intelligent, quick thinking with admirable social skills. Such persons are likely to become very successful as business leaders with good strategic minds. They make great and successful entrepreneurs. Physically, most of them are short in body height. When Mount Mercury is overdeveloped, this person is a consummate liar who is charming but cunning, and likely to cheat in love. Need to be careful of this person and when the Mountain is flat, the person tends to be very shy and diffident. The Mountain of Venus This is located at the base of the thumb. A person with a thick and fleshly Venus mountain will be noted for their great luck in romance. People find them warm, generous and very attractive. They also bring great vibrations to any of their relationships as they have much to offer in terms of companionship, social life and sexuality. When the mount is overdeveloped, it shows a greedy, intense person who is overly indulgent in sex, food and relationships. They are very attached to worldly pleasures and crave stimulation all the time. When it is flat, it shows a lack of vitality and passion so there are streaks of cool selfishness in this person who is also usually incapable of giving. The Mountain of Mars (Upper Mars Hill) This is located above the end of the head line. A well developed mountain at this place indicates resilience to setbacks, great courage ability to survive under any conditions. The Mountain of Mars(Lower Mars Hill) This is located below the beginning of the head line. A full and fleshly Lower Mars Mountain indicates someone very ambitious, courageous and brave. These are natural fighters who make breathtakingly bold moves in both the corporate world and at war. So they make good CEOs and Generals; but they sometimes act impulsively with terrible consequences.

Ethan_Oleh Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) The Eight Most Popular Wealth Deities Traditional Chinese families customarily display many deities in their homes and offices. These range from health and protection deities to wealth and love deities. Not surprisingly, the deities who promise wealth and financial success constitute some of the most prominently displayed by the Chinese. Most of these deities are Taoist in origin. The following is by no means an exhaustive list; these are but the most commonly found in conventional Chinese living spaces. Tsai Shen Yeh One of the most popular Chinese Gods of Wealth is Tsai Shen Yeh who is frequently depicted wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a tiger. Display the image of this powerful deity in your home for lots of wealth luck; in good times, he brings great prosperity; in bad times, he protects your family from poverty. Kuan Kung or Kuan Ti (also the God of War) Another extremely popular Wealth God is Kuan Kung who is, among many other titles, protector of the oppressed, patron saint of the police, guardian deity of the triads, politicians and business leaders alike. The image of Kuan Kung is most powerful when placed in the Northwest corner of your home; he ensures peace and harmony for all residents, protection for the patriarch and prosperity luck for all. Ensure that he always faces your main entrance, so that he can protect your family from all bad influences. Laughing Buddha of Abundant Happiness (Maitreya or Mi Lo Foh) One of the most beloved of Buddha images, the Laughing Buddha can be found in many Chinese homes and Chinese restaurants. He brings prosperity and wealth luck to all, so the bigger his round tummy, the more auspicious the image. The wonderful Buddha of Happiness also loves to pick up all our troubles and problems and keep then in the huge calico bag he carries around; then, in return, he transforms them into abundant happiness. Display his image in your living room directly facing the front door.Tua Peh Kong This Taoist deity of wealth is chiefly revered by the Hokkien Chinese community. He is dressed in longevity robes and carries a Ru Yi in his right hand and a gold ingot in his left. With the Ru Yi, he confers fabulous luck for power and authority; while with the gold ingot, he bestows wealth and success. Depicted with an expression of benign compassion, he brings immense good fortune wherever he is displayed.Xi Wang Mu (Queen of the West) The Queen of the West symbolizes all life aspirations including a healthy and prosperous long life filled with great honor, wealth, fame and recognition. Display an image of her in your home to keep your family together and ensure that siblings enjoy harmonious relationships. Place your image of Xi Wang Mu in the vicinity of the main entrance into your home.Pi Kan: Military and Civilian Pi Kan is a wealth deity that is portrayed in two very different aspects - military and civilian. He is said to have been a former sage in the 12th century who was eventually deified as an auspicious bringer of wealth. Fuk Luk Sau (Three Star Gods) Displayed in most homes collectively as the three popular star deities Fuk Luk Sau, they represent Prosperity, Authority and Longevity respectively. The first star deity or Fuk brings wealth and prosperity into your home. Dressed in a merchant's red robe, he is depicted on the right of Luk the second star deity. Fuk Luk Sau are best displayed as together in dining and living room areas.The Eight Immortals (Pa Hsien) Being superior beings of Taoist legend, the Eight Immortals are widely regarded as symbols of longevity and good fortune. Comprising six men and two women, they each attained immortality under different circumstances.

Along with other symbolic representations of wealth, displaying these wealth deities in your home will bring an abundance of prosperity luck into your home and plenty of happiness into your life.

Ethan_Oleh Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) 20 visualisations to health, wealth & happiness Your inner mind has great power to enhance your life, bringing an avalanche of success and a flow of abundance. When you master the ability to keep images of victory and prosperity vividly in your mind, your outer reality merges magically with your inner power. It is then that the supremacy of your mind and the vividness of your imagination combine to bring all your needs, desires and wants into magical reality. Such is the power of visualizations. To master the techniques of mental imaging, you need to tune inwards and mentally remove all stains of outer negativities. Practise visualizing images that show you surrounded by personal abundance; and picture yourself letting go of negativities. This is how luck works. It starts by making the mind positive and strong. Here are 20 easy ways to visualize your way to health, wealth and happiness.1. Think of the sun You can cheer yourself up just by thinking of sunny days. Coming out of the winter, the sun is especially embracing. And even in countries that get bright sunshine all year round, people never tire of the joy of sunshine. If you find yourself feeling down, depressed or low for any reason at all, visualize the sun and its powerful yang energy filling your entire being with strength and happiness. Better still, if there is sunshine outside, step outdoors and let yourself physically soak up the energy of the sun. You will feel instantly energized.2. Shrug off negativities Shrug off thoughts that eat into your self-confidence as if they were bits of fluff – as if they were nothing more than minor misdemeanors of the mind. Visualize your shoulders lifting and your head tilting as if to get rid of this kind of thinking. Negative thinking not only robs us of our confidence and self worth, they also make us needlessly afraid. 3. Radiate a silent power Tap into unseen forces within you. Reach inside for the wisdom, strength and the power of silence. Use your inner force. Think of it as a bright, white light inside you. Feel it move along the meridians in your body, lighting up your heart, your throat, your head, and you will soon start to exude an effortless strength that speaks volumes. Tap the power inside yourself so that it may show up on the outside, in what you say, what you do and how you do it.4. Pretend you are the best The mind is a powerful tool, probably more powerful than any physical attributes or in-born talents you may have. So utilize the power of your mind as fully as you can. Start by pretending you are the best in whatever you are pursuing. If you are looking for career advancement, pretend you are the best in your field. If you are looking for first-rate exam results, imagine you are the top student. Reality begins with but a single thought. The more you think of yourself as the best, the nearer to your fantasy you will find yourself, until it becomes reality for you.5. Take a new perspective Try looking at an old routine in a new way. Or try looking at someone you see each day in a new way. Make yourself do this consciously. When you start to take control of your mind like this, you will be amazed at the fresh new insights that come to you, which can lead to some most exciting discoveries. 6. Keep initial goals easy The secret to continuing success is simply to break down big goals into a series of little ones, and start with the easy goals while you slowly make your way up the learning curve. This strategy makes achievement a lot easier and more attainable. Everything can be broken down into smaller and more manageable parts; you just need to make the effort to do that breakdown in your mind. Once you have a plan, keep focused on the path you draw out for yourself, and your ultimate goal will come within reach.7. Be careful what you wish for Every positive thing you have read about the power of the mind is true. Fantasies can become realities if you just go on picturing them over and over again in your mind. But sometimes manifested fantasies don’t turn out so good in the reality. So before you go wishing for things, be sure they are what you really want! In the harsh light of reality, fantasies can sometimes become nightmares!8. Nothing is a coincidence All of life’s coincidences are in reality not coincidences at all. When you live in a state of constant awareness, it is not difficult to find the linkages between every event and every circumstance that happens, and every person who appears in your life at any moment in time. Everything happens for a reason. Think through the last few days of your life, all the thoughts that crossed your mind and all the things that happened. Then meditate on them and try to link them all. You might begin to realize some insights you had earlier missed! 9. Music affects you more than you think Music will change the energies and the vibrations around you. Happy songs lift the spirits, while melancholic music makes you feel depressed, unhappy and lethargic. Sometimes when you feel sad for absolutely no reason at all, you’ll find you’ve been listening to unhappy music. If you catch yourself doing that, switch to a happy tune and you will soon notice the difference. It is a good idea to make it a rule never to listen to melancholic music, as constantly playing something downbeat is like chanting a negative mantra!10. Avoid negative people In life, you will always come across the odd person who will make comments that annoy you, knock your confidence or make you doubt your self-worth. If you come across such a person, take what they say with a pinch of salt and imagine their negative comments evaporating into thin air or rolling off you like water off a duck’s back. Such people can only get to you if you let them. So don’t let them. You are stronger than that. 11. Get rid of blockages before they become permanent It is the troubled spots in your mind that create obstacles to success, happiness and wellbeing. The Chinese are great believers in never allowing anything to obstruct the flow of chi – the life force – within the mind, body and space. Blocks can cause real problems, so whenever you become aware of a hang-up you have, get rid of it before it becomes permanent!12. You can if you think you can When you are given an assignment that you feel is beyond your scope, invest some time in boosting your own self-confidence. Often, it is not lack of ability that will stop you; rather, it is lack of confidence and lack of faith in yourself. You can move mountains if you believe you can. So if you are given a tough project to conquer, don’t get fazed. Just get started. 13. Savour every good thing that happens If you are on a roll, enjoy it! This happens when you are in perfect harmony with the cosmos and everything is going well for you. These are moments of triumph, of success and of victory. In times like these, savour the moment and be proud of it. Don’t let anyone bring you back down to earth or rain on your parade.14. Recall a courageous moment in your life Whenever you feel yourself going through a patch in life when you feel particularly weak, inadequate or defeated, think of the last time you made a courageous decision or performed a courageous act. Courage is a feel-good attitude, and drawing on it from a first-person perspective is the very best way to pull yourself up from the doldrums.15. Be careful what you record People chronicle their lives in different ways. Some make photo albums, some write diaries, others pin up favourite family photos on their refrigerator. Whichever way you choose to chronicle your life, make sure you only record what you want to remember. Keep only photos where all the family are cheerful, happy and smiling. If you write a diary, note down only all your positive memories. If you feel like venting about something you are unhappy about, write down your thoughts by all means, but then rip out that page and burn it, so it no longer stays with you and in your conscience. Let go of anything at all that is negative. By doing this, you make sure you never have to relive any unhappy moments in your life.16. Make a conscious decision to have faith in yourself If you live your life with faith in yourself, soon it becomes as solid as a rock, unshakeable and unbreakable. Faith comes with practice. When you believe in something whole-heartedly, that belief rules your conscious and unconscious moods like nothing else can. So make sure that the faith you develop is in yourself, and that the motivation behind your faith is in making your life both honourable and meaningful. 17. Allow your imagination to soar Open your mind to fresh ideas. Think of Einstein resting on a summer’s day, his eyes half closed, looking at the sun’s rays through a blade of grass and allowing his mind to travel with the ray of light. Let your imagination take you to places you have never been. You never know what you might discover this way!18. Liberate yourself mentally Many people live their lives as if they were confined to a gilded cage, afraid to fly. These kinds of people stick to the known and the familiar, and in the process, miss out on the more spectacular adventures that life has to offer. If you feel this may be you, mentally picture yourself as a bird in a cage, then visualize the cage door opening and yourself flying up to the wondrous skies above. Free your mind and there is nothing you cannot achieve! 19. Turn on all the lights in the house If you turn on all the lights in the house, you will feel your spirits rise, especially if you have dark corners and there are insufficient windows in your house to bring in the natural light from the outside. The mere act of lighting up your surroundings never fails to lift the lightness of chi that surrounds you. And when the energy that surrounds you is light, so will your frame of mind be light. Try this the next time you feel the air is heavy with depressing energy.20. Spring clean your mind! If any cobwebs still remain inside your head that obscure your vision of your true nature, you must sweep them away! Your mind is like a mirror. When it is clear, images reflected are sharp and lucid. When the mind has delusions, inhibitions and complexes that have been accumulated over a lifetime, what gets reflected is blurred, unfocused and misleading. So try to undertake mental spring-cleaning regularly. Sweep away the dirt that clouds your visions!

Ethan_Oleh Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Health is Wealth ! What is money and romance, if you do not have the good health to enjoy it? Do you really want to go through numerous visits to the doctors, spending large amounts on even larger hospital bills, feeling sickly and utterly de-motivated? Don't you believe in the famous adage that goes 'Prevention is better than cure'? Don't be surprised but with Feng Shui, you can prevent ill health even across the generations! Generally, it is believed that the Feng Shui of a home can influence the nature of health that is enjoyed by the residence. A home that has auspicious Feng Shui vibrations and good flow of Chi will definitely endow the residents with good health. However, sometimes it is quite difficult to realize that all is not well. With a busy lifestyle, we are only focused on curing whenever there is an illness and forget all about it when we are well! But if you were to look back you may notice a pattern of frequent illness. Especially, if this pattern started after you have moved into a new home or if you have recently renovated your home. This is because you may have inadvertently created a bad Feng Shui environment. To ensure that you can safeguard your family's health at all times, here are four golden rules for health:Rule No. 1 Guard your home against poison arrows emanating from your surroundings. Check that your main door is not being hit by anything sharp or pointed, anything angular, or anything that seems to be threatening. Do remember however, that residents of homes that are hit by poison arrows do not usually just become sick. Usually the bad luck also takes on other equally, and sometimes more severe forms.Rule No. 2 Beware of poison arrows inside the home and ensure that children are not sleeping directly beneath exposed beams, as these will cause frequent illness, headaches and an inability to sleep peacefully. It is also advisable not to fill your home with antiques. This is because you are unlikely to know the luck of the people who owned the artifacts before. Firearms are also inauspicious as they also stand the chance of having once been fired in anger and of having drawn blood, which is very bad Feng Shui.Rule No. 3 If there is someone who is really ill at home, it is possible to use Feng Shui to help him or her recover. This is done by using the Pa Kua Lo Shu formula and involves finding that person's Tien Yi (health direction) based on his or her date of birth. Once you identified the sector, then you should locate the person's bedroom in that corner of the home and their bed should also be placed according to this direction.Rule No. 4 To ensure the general health of the resident's in your home, you should make sure that your stove is placed in a way that allows the gas or electricity to flow to it from any of your four auspicious directions. However if you were confused on whose best directions are to be followed, a simple guide would be to follow the directions of the head of the household. Do take some time out to ensure that these rules are not broken in your home. It will ensure a lifetime of good health!

Ethan_Oleh Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) 8 Great Longevity Symbols for the Home Sau, the God of Longevity The God of Longevity, Sau, is probably one of the most popular deities found in Chinese homes. He is one of the three star gods that are collectively known as Fuk Luk Sau is usually portrayed dressed in a yellow robe and carrying a peach (also known as the fruit of immortality), a staff and the bottle gourd which is said to be filled with the nectar of Immortality. Placed at eye level with a solid wall behind him, Sau brings good health and a long, smooth life to all the residents of your household. The Wu Lou for Health The Wu Lou or the bottle gourd is a powerful symbol of longevity, good fortune and an abundance of blessings! The God of Longevity, Sau, carries a staff with a bottle gourd that is said to contain the elixir of Immortality hanging at the end. The shape of the wu lou is also a representation of heaven and earth united in miniature: the top half is heaven and the bottom, earth. Thus it is said that displaying a wu lou in and around the home is a good omen. Placing a wu lou by the bedside is especially beneficial for those who are ill or generally under the weather. The Crane for Harmony Next to the phoenix, the crane is the most favoured of all the bird symbols of good fortune. He is the bird of Immortality and is strongly identified with the attributes of longevity, happiness and the smoothness of flight. The crane’s symbolic presence in the home or garden is believed to bring harmony and happiness to the home. Placed in the south, a figurine or Chinese brush painting of the auspicious crane brings opportunities; in the west, it brings good luck for your children; in the east, it benefits the sons of the family; in the northwest it favours the family patriarch. The Deer for Prosperity To the Chinese, the deer is a very popular symbol associated with speed, endurance and a long life. The word for ‘deer’ in Chinese is lu, which sounds similar to another word that means good income and prosperity. It is thus extremely auspicious to have the image of the deer in your office and home. Display a figurine or painting of the deer in your workplace to symbolise the wish for the company to prosper and grow or place it in your home so that your family will enjoy a long life of ease and growing prosperity. The Tortoise for Longevity The humble tortoise is the only one of the four celestial creatures that actually exists today. It is not merely a symbol of longevity, although rearing a live tortoise in the home is said to ensure that the family Patriarch lives to a ripe old age! The tortoise is also a symbol of protection and support as well as wealth and prosperity. In feng shui the tortoise signifies the protective hills of the north. Display a figurine of the tortoise in the north sector of your home to attract lots of good health and prosperity luck, and place on in the north corner of your office for support in your career. The Peach of Immortality No other tree or fruit has a greater depth of symbolic meaning than the peach tree. Every part of this plant is believed to possess some valuable attribute, but it is the peach fruit that is said to be the most valuable. Legend has it that the Monkey God stole peaches of immortality from the garden of the Goddess of the West, Hsi Wang Mu, and attained immortality. Display a jade peach tree or a painting of these heavenly peaches in your living room to bring in lots of longevity energies into your home. The Bamboo for Resilience The bamboo has long been regarded as a symbol of longevity due primarily to its resilience and ability to stay evergreen through the four seasons, especially during the winter months. The spiny bamboo, which signifies longevity and prosperity that lasts for generations, and the solid stemmed bamboo, which signifies a life free of illness and disease, are the varieties associated with good health. Display them in the east sector of your living room or in the study/library for health luck and protection.The Eight Immortals Widely regarded as symbols of longevity and good fortune, the eight immortals Paht Hseen are superior beings of Taoist legend. Comprising six men and two women, they are said to have lived at different times and each attained immortality under different circumstances. However, legend says that they have each tasted the nectar and peaches of Immortality! The symbolic presence of the Eight Immortals in your home is believed to bring good health, happiness and good fortune to your family, so it would be beneficial to display a painting or figurines of them in your living room.

Ethan_Oleh Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Prosperity Programming: 22 Ways to Think, Act & Live (Part 1) 8 WAYS TO THINK RICH Yes you know it! Everything starts with the mind. Think rich to get started on the road to success and prosperity. It is part of the mental programming that many successful and wealthy people do spontaneously. It is a way of subconsciously programming the mind by training oneself to think positive thoughts that get the adrenalin inside you flowing. It energizes you into taking action so that you never have time to have doubts about yourself, worry unnecessarily or become fearful. Here are eight easy ways to think in ways that get you taking the path that leads to growth and abundance. 1THINK POSITIVE – This means being serious about what you do, and generating the kind of enthusiasm that strengthens your actions with determination. It means never getting discouraged. Fear dissipates in the face of a positive mindset. This lets you stay resolute when faced with challenges. And when things go out of sync, you direct the mind to find a solution. You change direction or take a new approach, or shut down and start all over again. But whatever negative feelings arise should be instantly countered. The mind develops the habit of rejecting negativity of any kind. 2THINK AMBITIOUS – Generate a curiosity and be persistent in your quest for success. This brings new skills and knowledge your way. Be curious. Shake off feelings of apathy. This counters prosperity programming. Disinterest and lack of enthusiasm can spell the beginning of decline. The guy who gets ahead is engaged, enthusiastic in his climb up the ladder of success. The woman who makes it to the top is almost always pushy, charmingly so, but leaning in all the way like Sheryl Sandberg, the current queen of the Facebook social networking empire. She has written a whole book on this. Read it. It’s called Lean In! 3THINK DECISIVE – Train yourself to stay focused. Think things through and meditate strongly on what you want, how you wish to spend your life, what you want to do with it and what kinds of attainments you want. Bear in mind that circumstances change and you may make new decisions as time transforms your scenarios with fresh opportunities. But do make commitments and be single-minded in the pursuit of your goal. Let there be room in your mind for new ideas and changes of direction, but be clear about your ultimate goals. 4THINK COOL – Do not let apprehensions and a nervous state of mind floor you or cloud your judgement. Without a cool head, it is hard to concentrate. Your thinking will waver. When the monkey mind takes over, you cannot stay directed in your thinking. Take deep breaths to physically relax. Think happy thoughts. Be gentle with yourself. Use whatever aids to generate the feeling of calm. When you are cool, prosperity programming takes on great potency. 5THINK BIG – Allow yourself to view every new event in your life within a wider perspective. My Harvard Professor told us to take the helicopter approach to think through issues. Indeed, seeing things from several feet above helps the mind to think within larger perceptions; your outlook becomes larger. Never let minor obstacles make you lose sight of the big picture. 6THINK OPTIONS – Generate alternatives in your head. This is strategic thinking. Make it a habit to automatically think solutions, think “what to do and how to get past this problem” each time some crisis develops. This is an action-oriented way of thinking. It is more effective than the run-of-the-mill kind of thinking, which focuses on whom to blame and what went wrong each time you encounter a problem. It generates a cool far superior to anger each time something goes wrong. This is prosperity programming at its best! 7THINK RESULTS – Never lose sight of your ultimate goal! Being results-oriented should become an automatic way of thinking. See the beginning and end of everything you do! When you can visualize the ultimate scenario, you will not get easily distracted. This fuels your actions with a sense of purpose. It gets your adrenaline flowing and is quite awesome! 8THINK JOYOUS – The sheer magic of thinking joyous thoughts gives potency to everything you do. Rejoicing is the best way to congratulate yourself prematurely, and rejoicing at the success of others lets you participate in their high. It can be an epic experience entering into other people’s mandala simply by rejoicing with them when their lives bring them cause to celebrate. Prosperity comes to those who know how to appreciate its manifestation for others. Edited April 2, 2017 by Ethan_Oleh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family and friends are awesome – and my life would be perfectly wonderful if not for the big amount of debt that seem to worry me constantly! Please help me overcome my debts. I can only imagine how stressful this must be for you! A quick method to attain some help through spiritual feng shui is to chant the mantra of White Dzambhala (the wealth deity) and offer water to him and his four goddess dakinis. Invite the image of the White Dzambhala and his four dakinis into your home. White Dzambhala specialises in bringing quick financial help to those who need it. Pour water over his head daily while chanting his mantra: OM PADMA KRODA ARYA JAMBALA SHRI DAYA HUM PEH. Dzambala is the Tibetan wealth god. Placing this image in the east of your house will bring you plenty of wealth luck. You can offer flower, candle and food or water bowl offering to this deity.

Ethan_Oleh Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Does your profession require you to be well known and easily recognized? Are you or do you aspire to be a politician, model, singer, actor, writer, sportsman, or any other public figure? Well, here are some pointers that may help you along the way to achieving the fame you desire! According to the Pa Kua of the Later Heaven Arrangement, the trigram that represents fame, recognition and reputation is Li, placed in the South. This means that the southern wall or corner of any home or room is the fame corner. The ruling element of the south is fire. To energize the fame corner and activate opportunities for becoming famous and widely respected, place something that symbolizes fire in the south: bright lights, sun motifs, red-coloured objects and anything else that suggests this element. You may also use objects that symbolize the wood element, as in the productive cycle, fire is produced by wood, so wood is said to be good for it. Avoid the water element as water destroys fire. An excellent and most appropriate symbol to place in the South is an image of the horse. In Feng Shui, the horse, whose natural element is fire, is the seventh creature of the Chinese zodiac. It is favorably regarded as one of the animals that exude Yang energy and its representative direction on the zodiac is the South. The horse is also one of the precious animals included in the mandala offering to Buddha. It's emblematic of nobility, class and a comfortable lifestyle, and stands for speed and perseverance. When the horse is depicted laden with valuables such as gold ingots, pearls, precious stones, gold coins, etc, it is particularly precious and represents the aspiration of a comfortable life and the attainment of high rank, which brings recognition and a life of ease and luxury. Another type of horse that is good for display is the tribute horse, which the Chinese always associate with gifts given to emperors and other powerful court officials - the tribute horse has been associated with gifts brought by the vanquished to the victors. Thus, if you're involved in a competitive situation, use a painting or sculpture with the tribute horse as the subject to bring you victory luck. If you cannot find such an image, look for something that shows a precious horse (preferably white) that is being led and not ridden by an official. This symbolizes upward mobility and promotion, and is very auspicious indeed. The horse is best placed in the living and family areas, but never in the bedrooms. Also, do not display a horse that is rearing up, particularly if it's directly behind you or directly confronting you, as this may cause you accidents and physical problems related to the limbs. Instead, get a statuette or painting of a horse or horses that are in non-threatening postures. Edited April 5, 2017 by Ethan_Oleh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan_Oleh Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) The Feng Shui Of Money Is there such a thing as the Money of a country affecting its wealth feng shui? Is there any relationship between how a country’s paper money looks and the wealth the country generates? Surely symbols incorporated into the design of currencies must have an effect on the way the country moves forward or backward economically. Central Bankers of the world probably scoff at such an idea… and yet in the old days, coins used as mediums of exchange were always made auspicious, most notably containing the heaven and earth symbols of circle and square. Some of the stronger currencies of the world (although of course they fluctuate in value) include the United States dollar, the Euro, the British pound, the Singapore dollar, the Australian dollar, the Russian rouble, the Canadian dollar, the Chinese renminbi and before the advent of the Euro, we also had the Swiss Franc and the German mark. Every one of these currencies has a signature sign which itself has luck connotations. In the period of 7 the US dollar was strong and this is a currency whose signature sign has an S with two vertical standing lines viz $… but the US dollar has been declining in value for several years now, from since the period changed from 7 to 8 and now other currencies that have signature signs that have either S, Y, (all cut with two horizontal lines appear to be challenging the US dollar. We saw the rise of the pound sterling, and until recently the all-powerful Euro. Now we see the rise of the Chinese Yuan, and of course the Japanese yen seems to stay strong in spite of horrible things happening to its Economy! Feng shui experts will be quick to explain to you that the horizontal lines symbolize the powerful chien trigram. Horizontal solid lines are indications of strength, yang chi and great resilience, and it is not surprising that currencies which have this as their identifying feature tend to have greater resilience. Think of the yen, the yuan, the Euro and even the pound sterling! CHINA’S STRONG FENG SHUI THEME Most countries have strong themes that run through the design of their currencies and these usually reflect some symbol, activity or hero strongly identified with the country. The use of beloved leaders is a popular theme. So the modern Chinese renminbi has a picture of Chairman Mao, but also take note that while all the notes have his picture, they also carry aerial shots that symbolize protection, wealth creation and strong central government. Its most popular note the 10 Yuan note is green in colour, signifying growth, but it also has an amazing aerial shot of the Lijiang River strategically photographed to show the river widening. This is an incredibly auspicious image and with the 10 Yuan note having amazingly high circulation as it passes from hand to hand, surely this note brings excellent feng shui to the Chinese Economy! In fact, on the reverse side of all its notes, capitalist China has selected scenes of spectacular water – on the 20 renminbi note is the famed Lijiang River, on the 5 and 10 renminbi notes are its other famous rivers, the Yellow River and the Yangze, and on its 50 renminbi note is a spectacular picture of a waterfall.As all feng shui enthusiasts know, the river is the most efficient bringer of wealth. All the great cities of the world were founded at the mouth of great rivers. That China should choose water as its major symbol to signify its money must surely be very good feng shui indeed. To the Chinese of course, a view of a river, or of water, always signifies wealth, and when water widens and expands, it means extreme wealth. Showing a mighty river flowing to signify money signifies the country’s wealth. It should not be surprising that since the early 80’s when these new currency notes came into widespread usage after Deng Xioa Ping declared “to be rich is glorious”, China has had double digit growth and indeed is today the wealthiest country in the world! But more than wealth is safety and security, which is symbolized by the Great Wall of China, an ancient heritage structure built to protect the country from overland invaders. Today, the Great Wall symbolizes China’s security. This note has a couple of young Chinese on one side and the Great Wall on the other, signifying the ordinary people of China. And the high denomination renminbi note is red in colour. This too has Chairman Mao on one side, but on the other side, we see a picture of the Great Hall of the people in Tiananmen Square. This symbolizes the strength of China’s Central Government. By analyzing the images on its currency, we can deduce the attributes that are important to China - strong Government, strong security and strong wealth - all of which China has today! Definitely in this case, we can see symbolic feng shui at work here. But there is more of course, because there are also other 100 Yuan notes that feature the mighty Dragon and yet more notes that feature the other great river of China, the Yangtze Kiang. Water and Dragon - two of the most potent symbols of wealth and success! HONG KONG'S AUSPICIOUS NOTES Over in Hong Kong, the currency notes of this city state were issued by the major banks operating there prior to 1997 and these continued to be used after China took over the colony. Then, the twenty dollar note issued by StanChart featured the Dragon Tortoise, while that issued by HSBC featured its famous lions and the star ferry. The StanChart 500 dollar bill features the awesome Phoenix, while the HSBC issued 500 dollar bill again carried the two lions and its building. These notes were very auspicious indeed and Hong Kong in those years was very prosperous. In recent years however, its fortunes have been overshadowed by Shanghai and Beijing. China's currencies and its Economies appear to be doing as well as if not better than Hong Kong ! WHAT ABOUT THE UNITED STATES? In recent years, the USA seems to be sliding… two unpopular wars and its fight against terrorism seem to have distracted this great country. Worse, it has also suffered severe financial meltdowns caused by scandals and major bank collapses that seem to have shaken the USA to its roots.Things really went downhill after the attack on its twin towers in New York. To the Chinese feng shui enthusiasts, the twin towers represented the eyes of the country, and with New York being its financial capital, after the twin towers were brought down, it does seem like the US, now blinded, sort of lost its way - especially financially. The US currency is known worldwide as the greenback because irrespective of the denominated amount, all US dollar notes are green in colour. Note that green denotes young Yang Wood element, which in turn signifies growth. The USA continues to grow and grow and it has become the world’s super power, and even with all its troubles today, it continues to be respected as a superpower, feared by others and still taking the lead as the world’s innovator. It also owns the world’s largest arsenal of weapons and bombs! All its currencies feature its past presidents. Its most widely circulated note is the one dollar bill which features George Washington, the first president on one side. On the reverse side, we see the American eagle and the pyramid with an eye at the top of the pyramid. The eagle is like the phoenix – symbolizing untold opportunities, bravery and courage. The pyramid and the single eye above it is the ultimate symbol of protection. It reminds us of the magical eye of Horus. It is also a protection against the envy of others. Very powerful feng shui indeed! The two dollar note (not as widely circulated) features Jefferson on one side, while the five dollar note (which is more widely used) has Abraham Lincoln. Behind is the Lincoln memorial, which of course symbolizes freedom and equality. The twenty dollar note features Jackson on one side and the White House on the other. The hundred dollar bill has Benjamin Franklin… so one can see that the United States places emphasis on its leaders, although this only started around the 1900s. Does the US dollar have good feng shui? The answer has to be a resounding yes. Despite the ups and downs of its economy, the USA is still the most powerful and important country in the world. Its currency though battered continues to be the most widely used currency of the world. What is interesting about the US dollar bills are its hidden codes and meanings. These notes have not been redesigned since the 1900s, so much of the meanings of its symbols require research. Nevertheless, one interesting thing some of us noticed is that the symbols on the $20 does show the twin towers of 9/11 burning when folded in a particular way. It is quite uncanny actually, and those of you curious enough to check this out might want to try! Other symbols on each of the US dollar bills suggest hidden codes and meanings as well.The British pound uses the Queen’s image and a variety of auspicious symbols. The Queen is herself a lucky image as she is shown in full regalia wearing her tiara and jewels, so the matriarchal energy is very strong. If we examine the ten-pound note (which is the most highly used) there is a bird image which looks like a woodpecker. The bird is a very auspicious symbol, bringing luck and new opportunities. The woodpecker is a hardworking bird that is also creative. There is also a ship sailing towards the user and this has to be incredibly lucky. There is a picture of Charles Darwin, one of their greatest scientists and the propounder of the theory of evolution. There is also a round mirror. So you can see that Britain has some very important enhancing symbols on their pound note.Singapore money used to be full of wonderfully auspicious images. Fish, birds, dragons and ships of all kinds used to feature on the Singapore dollar notes, but in recent years, Singapore’s paper currency notes were given a fresh new look. During the years when Singapore was toasted as the economic miracle of the world, its currency notes were amazingly brilliant and beautiful. Every denomination had a fish of some kind, as well as a ship, and its fifty-dollar note even featured a dragon looking down at the mouth of the Singapore River (see bottom picture). These are auspicious symbols. All the previous notes used to have fish on them. Fish signify abundance and it should not come as a surprise to anyone to know that the per capita income of this small nation state is one of the highest in the world. The Dragon meanwhile is the ultimate auspicious symbol according to feng shui. And ships bring wealth from the winds and waters.Shown above are the old (top) and the new (bottom) two dollar notes. Note the difference. A sailing junk brings prosperity from the winds and waters. The new note has no such auspicious symbol. In its newer notes, the Singapore currency features its first past president on one side and a variety of aspiration scenes on the other side. For instance, on the fifty-dollar note, the Arts are highlighted with musical instruments, on the ten-dollar note Sports are featured and on the two dollar note Education is highlighted with a picture of one of its schools. It does appear that aspirations other than wealth acquisition are being stressed. And believe it or not, since those new notes came into circulation, Singapore has thrived as an Arts and Cultural center to challenge the best of any place else in the world. From musicals to concerts, rock shows, ballets and even operas, Singapore has become the most sophisticated city in this part of the world. What is interesting is that all the new notes still carry the Pa Kua symbol which is a powerful symbol of protection! So security continues to be high on the list of Singapore’s priorities.Many of the Commonwealth countries feature the British Queen thus replicating the powerful matriarchal energy. New Zealand money features the Queen on one side and all kinds of birds on the other. Shown here on its twenty dollar bill is the bird that is native to new Zealand, the karearea – very auspicious indeed.Malaysian ringgit - here in Malaysia, the currency features the country’s first king in all his regalia. His majesty wears an eleven-pointed star and a moon of jewels, so this is most auspicious indeed. On the reverse side, the Malaysian currency notes feature cargo ships loaded with cargo, planes and trains on its ten dollar bill. As this is the most widely used bill, these symbols of the country’s progress are excellent feng shui. The fifty-dollar note shows a port scene, while the hundred ringgit bill features a car assembly plant. The Malaysian notes are thus down-to-earth symbols of industrial progress.Indonesian Rupiah bills seem to be devoid of auspicious symbols. On their 5000 rupiah note, they feature a old member of royalty on one side and an old building on the other. On their 1000 rupiah bill, we see again an old member of a royal family on one side and a building on the other. The notes seem to dwell very much on the past and are sadly lacking in yang energy. Maybe that is why the country has not progressed much. Perhaps a change in their currency appearance might help lift the country out of its many difficulties.Canadian bills are similar to Kiwi money in that the British Queen is featured on one side and all kinds of birds on the other side. The twenty dollar note shows the Queen (alas sans crown but wearing pearls) on one side and a pair of what looks like ducks on the other side. Very romantic feng shui indeed. The five dollar note on the other hand has Laurier instead of the Queen on one side and a kingfisher on the other. Nepal and India also do not have any auspicious symbols on their currencies.South Africa rands feature their wild animals, the large cats, the zebras and the rhinos. These animals however each symbolize various protective qualities according to feng shui and are thus said to be auspicious. South Africa can be said to be very blessed in that it has wise leadership and a pretty good economy compared with other African nations. It has Nelson Mandela, the wonderfully inspiring black leader who has captured the respect of the world. Its currency is protective in symbolism.France shows its inventors and tourist spots on its currency.Austria features its leaders and buildings. Greece features Plato and its many legends which include ships and heroines. Spain features its heroes and its architectural buildings.Playing the stock market requires luck as much as financial knowledge, and it is a whole different dimension to the management of your money. We will talk about this another time but for now focus attention on steadily improving your financial situation.Finally a word on birdsAt last count, we discovered well over 30 countries whose currency notes feature the bird. Pictures of some of these currencies are shown here and it is useful to see that the countries that use the bird are not fairing badly at all. The bird brings good news and good opportunities and like the Phoenix, its symbolic king, they communicate good tidings and are excellent for fulfilling your wishes and bringing happiness to everyone. Birds also signify family harmony and goodwill, and open up opportunities for growth, progress and expansion. In addition to Canada and New Zealand, the list of countries that feature birds on their paper currencies include Trinidad, United Arab Emirate, Tahiti, Sweden, Seychelles, Papua New Guinea, Lithuania, Kuwait, Japan, Columbia, Bermuda, Bangladesh, Cameroons, Brazil, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Zambia, Germany, Falklands Islands, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Antilles, Mauritius, Madagascar, Denmark, Finland, Albania, Zambia, Algeria, Iceland, Lithuania and Gibraltar. Other popular and auspicious images favoured by many of the lesser known Economies include ships, airplanes and landmark buildings.

Ethan_Oleh Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Being Clever About Money How do you make sure the money you earn does not disappear or get frittered away? How can you see your money grow steadily over the years, accumulating and expanding so you eventually experience a creation of real wealth instead of constantly having to make ends meet? Getting on top of your finances is not difficult but in addition to having good feng shui, you do need to follow smart advice, exercise discipline in the way you organize your cash flow and be alert to investing your surplus money. Begin your year with a firm resolution to focus unwaveringly on managing your money. Aspire to become rich and start taking control of your finances and do so in a conscious and serious manner. You need to have an attitude of respect towards money that is neither overly emotional nor excessively detached. If you want to accumulate wealth, you must first establish the right attitude towards money! Understand that it is a tool and you are in control. You must never allow the management of money to overwhelm you. Let it be a natural part of your life, one of the skills you need to develop and absorb into your daily rituals of living so it becomes second nature to you. Begin by getting a good idea of your current financial situation. Know the kind of budget you live under. Train your mind to think in a quantitative way, putting numbers to all your thoughts and ideas about everything to do with your money situation. You cannot be clever about money until you know the parameters of your financial situation. Once you know what the overall position of your income and expense sides, you can start to think strategically about your money. This is the start of dreaming dreams and formulating strategies inside your head. Hazy goals eventually become clearer and this starts you on the road towards becoming financially savvy.Start With Your Saving Potential You begin by developing the saving habit. Amass some equity! The first goal is to endeavour never to be in the red in terms of cash management. Never allow yourself to run out of cash. Let this be the golden rule by which you live. From here you will be in a comfortable position to make an estimate of how much you can save. Saving is a magic word in financial management and this requires you to quantify just two numbers; the first is your combined on-hand income; and the second is an accurate estimate of what you need to spend to adequately cover all the needs of your life. Do not forget to set aside a little something for special indulgences and little luxuries. When you undertake a disciplined assessment of your financial situation, you are much better equipped to know if your combined incomes (for couples) are adequate for the both of you. Put another way, it also shows if you are living beyond your means.An Exercise In Budgeting Budgeting is the first step in creating the habit of keeping track of your spending. This implies taking control of your money. You need to do this if you want to save and be able to invest. This is how wealth accumulation begins, by first creating some personal equity! Next you need to extend your time horizon. Look beyond your current situation and see if you can work out how much money will be coming in and how much going out over an extended period of time, for instance 12 months. Include holidays and other anticipated expenditures. This is to see if your lifestyle is costing you in excess of what you earn. Being clever about money requires you to think beyond conventional logic. If you find that you never seem to have enough money at the end of each month because the cost of living has overtaken your earnings, you should start shopping for more financially attractive deals on all your big expenditures.Expanding Your Income Base In addition to looking for opportunities to expand your income base, also shop around for better buys and bargain deals. For instance, you can make it a habit to only shop for clothes and other luxuries during sales and to buy your necessities such as monthly groceries from warehouse outlets a little way out of town. You will be surprised how much you can “save” when you really put your mind to it. This does not mean you need to give up on things that make you happy; it means you start to shop smart. To guard against impulse purchases, it is a good idea to pay cash for all major buys. We are usually more careful when we use real cash instead of plastic. Using the credit card especially when you own multiple credit cards makes it harder for you to keep track of your expenditures, so make the effort not to get addicted to your cards. When You Have Surplus Money If your income situation allows you to save, it means your financial position is healthy. Once you have a little equity built up, start looking for ways to make your money work for you. Do not be satisfied with merely earning interest from the bank. There are ways of getting a higher return on your money and the way to find out how is to be on the lookout. Start by having a chat with your friendly banker about the different deposit plans they offer.Buying Your First Property Your first serious investment should be some kind of landed property. This is a really big deal because wealth creation in your life starts with accumulating assets and the first real asset in anyone’s life is the home they live in. You will need to amass some equity to buy a house or apartment, at least enough to take advantage of easy house loans being offered by banks these days. If you have a steady job and you have at least a good thirty years more to your working life, you will find banks more than happy to offer you financing that will help you purchase your own home. If you do not already own the home you are living in, you should definitely consider buying property to live in. Owner-occupied homes are easy to get financing for and in 2008 the earth element (which means property) represents wealth creation. So this is a good year to buy property. Here’s a tip. Borrow as much of the cost of the house as you can, and go for the longest tenure. This way the equity you need as down payment will be less. I would say that it is not difficult to find banks willing to finance from 70 to 80 percent of house purchase price especially when they are in a “good” location. Remember to put top priority on location. Buy from reputable developers or if you are buying from an individual owner, make sure you invite your banker to give you an assessment of how much the bank values the property at. This is because the loan they will be willing to give you depends on their valuation of the property and not necessarily on the price you pay. As for tenure, it makes sense to stretch out the loan as much as you can so that monthly repayments are easier on you. You will find that what you have to pay in renting living premises is lower than monthly mortgage payments, so make sure you do your sums to make sure you can afford the repayments. Owning your own house of course holds out the promise of long term capital gain. Your house is sure to worth more than what you pay for it if you think long term. As for the repayments, these become less painful as your earning capacity improves. Trading Up Owning your own home also allows you to trade up. Over time as your income improves and your family expands in size, you can use your house to help you trade up i.e. help you buy a bigger house. When property values rise, it usually goes beyond the ability of first time buyers. The only way to keep up with inflation is to have a landed asset, so make sure you have this most essential hedge against inflationary pressure. If you are purchasing property for the first time, it is better to go for landed property and avoid condominiums. Apartments rarely match landed property when it comes to capital appreciation. It is also easier to sell, say a ten year old landed link house than a ten year old apartment.Other Investments As your financial situation improves and you start to think of other investments, be mindful of the issue of liquidity. Assets should be easily converted back to cash. In financial terms we describe this as the liquidity of your investment. As a small time investor, it is always good not to tie down your money unnecessarily. You must be able to convert your investment back to hard cash with a single telephone call. It is for this reason that so many people “play the stock market”. Playing the stock market requires luck as much as financial knowledge, and it is a whole different dimension to the management of your money. We will talk about this another time but for now focus attention on steadily improving your financial situation.
