Feng Shui & Astrology

Is your kid not as polite and courteous as you would like? Enough with the usual scolding and even spanking. This time, maybe some simple decorative changes might do the trick.

According to certified Feng Shui masters and practitioners, it is possible to influence behaviour through the art of Feng Shui.

Feng Shui is also often referred to as the Chinese art of placement or alignment. With better alignment, residents in a particular space can function better.

Metaphorically speaking, Feng Shui is to a house what acupuncture is to a body. When correctly applied, Feng Shui can be a tool that could correct problem areas, such as ill health, strained relationships or difficulties with children.

With the help of Feng Shui, you will be able to establish your role in the household hierarchy.

Easy-to-do tips

As most parents dream that their children exhibit more respectfulness, obedience and self-control, it might be worthwhile to follow these easy-to-do tips provided:

1 Make the child responsible for the room. Children’s respect for others begins with having respect for themselves and their rooms. Insist that they keep their rooms tidy and neat and their beds made.

2 Clear away excess. Clutter-filled rooms distract a child’s focus, which can undermine obedience. Throw out unnecessary or seldom-used items. Make sure there is nothing stored under the bed.

3 Arrange the bed correctly. Make sure the child can see the door of the bedroom easily. Avoid placing the bed against a shared wall of a bathroom, under a window, or where there is a view of stairs or a bathroom.

4 Create a study area. It’s important that the child is focused on education, a critical factor in creating respect for authority and learning self-discipline. It’s wise to add a lamp and a small globe. Both symbolically impart the importance of education.

5 Make a “Wall of Fame.” Every child needs to feel proud. Assign a wall (preferably the South wall) where the child’s certificates, drawings, awards, trophies and photographs can be displayed.

6 Ground the child. Is the child too overly active to pay attention? Most children like this are in white rooms. White is a “yang,” or energizing, color. Paint the child’s room an earth color such as beige, brown or green.

7 Establish parental presence. A Feng Shui secret for establishing parental influence is to have a picture of the parent(s) in the child’s room—a subtle way to assert your authority.

8 Censor wall hangings. Images of death, violence or ferocious animals have no place in a child’s room and should be removed immediately. A child cannot focus if he is scared—even subconsciously. Make sure that the child’s bed is not reflected in any mirror.
