ANSWER: Typically, the higher the elevation the more vulnerable a property is to the elements - Wind and Water - Feng Shui.

QUESTION: Is there a remedy for bed placement if it needs to be on a wall that is not good Feng Shui for the owners (it is not facing the door but is in a bad direction for them).
ANSWER: Yes. If it's impossible to angle the bed inside the room, then you can angle yourselves in the bed.
Many of our clients' sleep at the foot of the bed, diagonal and/or sideways in bed to honor one of their best directions. However if in doing so your head is exposed (without support), you will want to protect it with pillows, a screen or nearby wall.
QUESTION: How many steps should the stairs have so that the occupants are lucky?

QUESTION: I'm redoing my kitchen. A friend who is also a real estate agent advised me not to put the sink back under the window because of poor Feng Shui.

Is a sink under a window all that bad? Is there a remedy I can make to counteract the bad Feng Shui while keeping my sink under the window?

QUESTION: My office building is located on a lower ground between two bigger buildings, how can I overcome the negative effects of this location?
ANSWER: Questions like these are covered in our Feng Shui Certification course. The answer is...it depends. It depends on how high the other two buildings are in relationship to yours. If they are not too much higher, it's actually a positive not a negative as they provide the green dragon and white tiger for support. If they are dramatically higher, there is little you can do to remedy the downward chi-pressure. You are welcome to call our office if you are experiencing problems.
QUESTION: What can I put in my office so I can be promoted?

This will not guarantee you "wins" but it will help to improve your personal energy... hopefully enough to help you know when to quit while you are ahead!
