The internal Feng Shui of any residential property begins at the three main locations - the main door, the kitchen stove and the bedroom. A rightly placed main door ensures that the property receives the right type of Qi from the environment, and circulates it throughout the entire house.

While 'Yang' factors govern wealth aspects, 'Yin' factors govern health and relationships. Health is therefore reliant on the stove placement and bedroom location.

In the Flying Stars system, the stove and bed should receive Qi from a good 'Sitting Star'. The Sitting Star is the 'Yin' quality of a given sector, and should not be disrupted by constant activity, large bodies of water, or external negative features.

Properties located at extremely 'Yang' or active areas may be disadvantageous in terms of health and relationships.

WHAT'S GOOD? AND WHAT'S NOT?

The fundamental of a good house is that the Yin and Yang should be balanced and complementary. That is why in most cases the back portion of the house (the 'sitting' of the house) should be protected, stable and quiet. The 'facing' side of the house should see broad open space (the 'Bright Hall') for Qi to collect.

The stove serves as the 'fire mouth' that channels Qi into food and water during the cooking process. If the 'fire mouth' receives negative Qi, naturally the food is imbued with negative Qi.

In today's modern stoves, the 'fire mouth' is marked by the location of the stove knobs used to ignite the cooking fire. These knobs should face towards one of the auspicious directions of the breadwinner of the house.

The bedroom is highly important as individuals spend a lot of time here. People become vulnerable in their sleep and therefore it is crucial that the bedroom is adequately Yin.

A bedroom overlooking a highway for example, is not ideal, individuals sleeping in rooms with inappropriate types of Qi will find that they wake up the next day tired. Some do not even sleep well through the night in the long run, health problems develop.

ILNESS AND REMEDIES

According to Eight Mansions Feng Shui, the 'Tian Yi' room is the best room to use for its healing qualities. The 'Fu Wei' room is also known to soothe its occupants.

Then there is the placement of the bed itself. In most cases the door should not open directly into full view of the bed. This is because, the bed (and the person using it) should be properly protected. A bed should not be placed underneath a protruding ceiling beam. This is a structural flaw that disturbs the 'Yin' quality of the bed.

The nine sectors (or 'palaces') themselves are good indication of illness and areas of the anatomy affected. For example, the South sector receiving external 'Sha' (negative Qi) would damage the eyes or heart. A problem with the Northwest sector affects the head or brain. A missing North sector would mean weaker kidneys and reproduction system.

Diagnosis of illness is possible through advanced analysis of Flying Stars chart read against the occupant's Life Gua. Further consideration of annual, monthly, and daily stars (sometimes even down to hour) reveals more information on the severity of an illness.

A person's health condition is also reflected as an imbalance in his or her BaZi chart. Feng Shui - sleeping in the right room - is used to redress this imbalance.
