9 Feng Shui Steps to Take When Choosing a New Home

The literal meaning of feng shui is the flow of "wind" and "water" . The wind disperses the invisible life energy and the water contains it. You attract and cultivate positive energy - otherwise known as sheng qui (shung chi)  and eliminate negative energy - otherwise known as sha qui (shar chi) when you practice feng shui.

We can use feng shui inside our homes when choosing how to lay out our rooms and decorate but there are factors that should be taken into account when you are first choosing the location of a new home.

Nine feng shui factors to consider when choosing a new home:

  1. Look for a new home that fits in with the natural landscape. If there has been a lot of excavation done such as high retaining walls, this is cutting into the land's natural energy. 
  2. Choose a house that is on the high side of the street or high on a hill. Not only will it have more privacy and no flooding problems, but the Chinese believe it will bring more prosperity.
  3. The block the new house is located on should be rectangular in shape.  Being longer on the northern and southern ends. If you cannot have a rectangular block, then it would be good if the block was wider at the back than at the front.
  4. Avoid neighborhoods that have a triangular shape. The qu (chi- energy) can stagnate and gather in the corners of the neighborhood.
  5. Really good feng shui - and most of us would love this - is having the front of the home look out over water. The sea actually isn't considered that great because it can be dark and gloomy. A lake, river, bay or harbor would be preferable.
  6. Avoid being next to drainage canals. These can be full of unpleasant sha qui ( shar chi) - negative energy.
  7. Make sure that the home is not too enclosed by large trees or large homes. This will block the qi (chi-energy)
  8. The house must be built on solid ground. If the ground is wet, sandy or sunken and too damp it will generate dead qui.
  9. Watch out for dead plants or plants that are having a hard time thriving on the land. This is a sign of dead qi.
According to the Chinese, where the descending heaven qi meets the ascending earth qi is the ideal site for a home. These rules are not written in stone, but halfway up a hill facing the sun is considered great feng shui because you will have a view and you will get cool summer breezes and warm winter ones.

As you can see the world of feng shui is not all about the spiritual. It  is actually a combination of common sense and spirituality all designed to bring us to a place of peace and positive energy.

Knowing and practicing a little bit of feng shui can open up a whole new world for you. You can then take control of your surroundings by making positive changes.

What is Duodenal Ulcer and How to Diagnose?

The condition referred to as Duodenal Ulcer is one that typically announces itself as a sharp, severe pain in the upper part of the abdomen (the Epigastrium), appearing when a person is hungry and the stomach is empty. Essentially, duodenal ulcers are caused by too much acid in the stomach; when the acid proves too strong for the protective inner lining of the duodenum (the part where the stomach joins the small intestine), it starts, in effect, burning a hole in the stomach wall. It is this crater, or ulcer, which results in pain, particularly when there is no food inside the stomach to use up the acid that is being produced. Patients who develop duodenal ulcers usually tend to get relief from their pain by taking some milk, bland food or antacid tablets (like milk of magnesia), which can neutralize the excess acid. The danger of duodenal ulcers is that they erode the stomach wall - either perforating (so that the contents of the stomach leak out into the abdominal cavity) or erod...

Tibia Skills Guide

Skills determine a character's ability to perform vital actions such as attacking with a weapon, blocking blows with shields etc. Unlike hit points or mana, skills do not improve when a character advances in level. Instead, skill levels increase through use, i.e. a character will train sword fighting when using an edged weapon, while his club fighting skill will gradually improve if he uses a blunt weapon. If a skill has been used often enough to advance, a white message will be displayed in the game window, and the skill level will automatically increase by one. The progress to the next skill level is indicated by a little bar underneath each skill. There are 8 different skills in Tibia. Most of them are related to the use of weapons: Fist Fighting This skill determines your character's ability to fight with bare hands. Needless to say, characters do not cause much damage when fighting unarmed, even if they have a considerable fist fighting skill. Club Fighting This is a we...
