Do You Believe In Feng Shui?
As a Japanese, I do believe in Feng Shui (pronounce Fung Shway). We write it the same 風水 "Wind Water", but we pronounce Fu-sui in Japanese. Since we are very close to China, we use their characters and our culture is very much influenced by Chinese. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art and science that was developed some 3,000 years ago to help people balance the energies in the places they lived. The elements play an important part in everyday life, as in wind and water that bring good harvests, which in turn bring good health and prosperity. Your home is alive and needs to be arranged in such a way that the chi - Universal Energy can be maximized.
How can you use this Chinese art in your decorating? First, you’ll need a bagua (pronounced bah-gwah) map. This map includes the eight building blocks of life, according to the Chinese Taoist philosophy: health, love/marriage, wealth, career, wisdom/knowledge, reputation/fame, children/creativity and helpful people, plus the center area of chi.
To make a bagua map, look at the structure of your home. The ideal shape is a square or rectangle, but despair not if your home is L-shaped or U-shaped. On a large piece of paper, draw a map of your home, noting where doors and windows are. If your home is L-shaped or U-shaped, use dotted lines to fill out the square or rectangle. Now divide the square into nine parts, which will correspond to each of the nine bagua areas.
The baguas are determined by the location of the front door of your house, which is considered the baseline of your bagua map. As you look in the front door of your home, the area to your right is “helpful people.” The area to your left is “wisdom/knowledge,” and in between those two is your “career” bagua. The center three baguas, left to right, are “family,” “chi” and “children/creativity.” The upper left corner is “wealth,” upper middle is “fame/reputation” and the upper right is “marriage.” In other words, it looks like above picture.

I was also told not to place anything underneath your bed if you have a space. The good energy would not pass through your body and bad energy would be clogged when you lie there if you have things below your bed.
If things are not going right or you feel heavy, try Feng Shui!
