I've always approached feng shui with a small dose of skepticism. The idea of how distant stars govern our lives seems a little outlandish- let alone the existence of the elusive qi. Yet, as 3000 people filled the auditorium where Joey Yap's Feng Shui & Astrology Seminar 2013 was held, it became apparent that feng shui has, in one way or another, helped these people in achieving their goals. "Try it," said Yap, when I asked him what did he has to say to cynics of the ancient practice. "Don't dismiss feng shui till you've tried it. It may be useful to you."

And with Yap's guide, practicing feng shui is easy. All you need to do is to locate the right direction and activate the qi. He described feng shui as "the acupuncture of land", whereby the meridians represent the flow of qi while the acupuncture points correspond to activation sites. In order to capitalize the benefits of qi, one must trigger its flow first. "Qi is like WIFI, it surrounds us but you have to connect to it before you can surf the internet," he revealed.

Contrary to popular belief, "auspicious" objects do not promote good feng shui. Rather, it's the very action of installing these objects that promote the flow of qi. To trigger qi, simply move furniture out and back in or install a water feature such as an aquarium. Movement also does the same trick. "Water is an active body. It brings activity to a space. Sound and movement have the same effect," Yap disclosed. "Feng shui is not about objects. It's about how one utilizes a space."
