Do Feng Shui Remedies Really Work?Written by Steven M. Ng
THE PREMISEFeng Shui is an ancient Chinese art that has been practised for thousands of years. It is based on idea that there should be a "balance" or harmony in world. Everything around us has its proper place. If something is out of place and balance is disturbed, this disruption can materialize as a feeling of uneasiness in people around it, or as violence or lack of prosperity in area. Feng Shui, in all its various forms, acts to restore that balance and harmony. This balance can be in difference ways, such as health, prosperity, wealth and love. And a lot of it really works. The cities of Hong Kong and Singapore are prosperous capitals compared to their neighbors because they are located in places where Feng Shui is perfect for a bustling metropolis. Even house of Bill Gates, richest man in world, is said to be located in perfect location in hills to bring its owner great wealth. But why does Feng Shui not work for some people? In order to answer that, we need to look at its history. THE HISTORY Feng Shui originated from ancient China, a land that developed other skills and arts such as medicine, martial arts and origins of chemical warfare. The knowledge of these skills were highly priced, and masters of these skills understandably did not want their secrets to be known to others, for fear that knowledge could be used for wrong purposes, or that masters would lose their status and prestige once knowledge became commonplace. It is therefore expected that masters might not have handed down all of their knowledge to their students. These students might have compiled whatever knowledge they had, and guessed remainder that they did not learn from masters. Some of these students were geniuses, able to replicate miracles their masters had performed. Others were not so skilled, but used whatever knowledge they had to make a living for themselves. This scenario, when applied to Feng Shui, explains various schools of Feng Shui that exist today. Some schools do work wonders, but there are also those that produce very little tangible effect.

We must give Law of Attraction some NEW MATERIAL to work with. What do you really want in your relationships? Security? Affection? Loyalty? Companionship? Communication? What? Do you wonder why you keep attracting certain types of people into your life? Are you tired of feeling disappointed in 'love? Have you ever been 'blind-sided' by someone you thought was a friend? Do you feel desperate to find that special person you can live with forever? Here are three steps that can help you in attracting more satisfying relationships: 1. Make a thorough list of all characteristics or scenarios of your past relationships that you DON'T WANT to experience again. You can use T-toolTM for this exercise or just take a fresh sheet of paper and draw a large 'T' on it. Label left hand column: 'I Don't want' and right-hand column, 'I Do Want' Ask your Inner Self to remind you of past events that you do NOT want repeated. Write a few words about each event that express essence of that event. For example: Step 2--Examine each item on 'I DON'T want ..." side and ask yourself this question: "If I don't want this, what DO I want?" Your list will look something like this: One major reason why we keep attracting same unsatisfactory relationships is because we fail to use contrast contained in those negative events to get clear about what we DO want. Step 3--Write a Script about how you DO want your relationships to be: As long as Law of Attraction has only 'DON'T want' Script, it is restricted to orchestrating that Script over and over. We must give Law of Attraction some NEW MATERIAL to work with.
