31. Main Doors Should Be Solid And Authoritative
The main door of the house should always be solid and authoritative. It should be the largest door in the house and ideally it should face the direction that the house faces. If this is not possible, it is not a big negative. But residents must be aware that there is a difference between the facing direction of the main door and the facing direction of the house. If the main door is not auspicious for any resident in the house, they should use a side door to enter into the house. Generally, the main door should be auspicious for the main bread winner of the house. The auspiciousness of the door directions is based on the KUA numbers of individuals and this is founded upon the Eight Mansions formula.

30. Driveways Should Be Friendly
Good feng shui is brought into the home when the driveway is non-threatening. This means that there should not be a long driveway leading straight at the front door of the houses. This seems to be so popular with many country mansions in the West and it often brings disastrous results to the family. Instead, driveways should either be placed by the side of the house, or they should be gentle curving. Never allow the driveway to become transformed into a poison arrow.
Driveways should also not "narrow" out or in, as this has a limiting effect on the business and finance luck of residents. Lights placed along the driveway create good feng shui for careers.

The Human Cost Of Consumer Culture
" One of the principal factors that hinder us from fully appreciating our interdependence is our undue emphasis on material development. We have become so engrossed in its pursuit that, unknowingly, we have neglected the most basic qualities of compassion, caring and cooperation. "

29. Houses Must Have Yin Yang Balance
Your house should be designed to receive adequate sunshine and light. When houses are too dark, negative yin energy tends to build up with bad results. At night, lighting should also be adequate. At all times, the yin and yang energy must be well maintained. This means that when lights get excessively bright, it is also not a good idea. So at all times, be aware of the need for this vital balance.

Students Check Out Building Site

WITH dark skies looming in the horizon, rain seemed imminent yet the feng shui practitioners were determined to go on with their site audit.
Armed with their notes and luo-pan, the 30 practitioners – all students of the Feng Shui Mastery programme conducted by feng shui consultant and best-selling author Joey Yap – pressed on with the final part of their programme.
Site audit: Yap (in front, in shirt and tie) surveying the land with his students.
The students came from all over the world, including Poland, South Africa and Singapore, and were given about an hour to survey the landscape before returning to present their findings to Yap.
The site audit was conducted at the construction site of the semi-detached Villa Green 3A fairway villas in Damansara Indah.
The 86 units are being built on 4.05 hectares (10 acres) of land by Damansara Impian Sdn Bhd, a joint venture company between the Di-jaya Group and PKNS.
Each fairway villa consists of eight rooms and bathrooms housed within three storeys and a built-up area of 540 sq m (6,000 sq ft).
According to Yap, the case study was a vital part of the programme, as external feng shui is more important than internal feng shui.
Feng shui practice: Students consulting the luopan during the case study in Damansara Indah.
“Knowing the land contour and formation is very important in feng shui, because the feng shui within the home should be tapped to the external,” said Yap.
“I always say, don't sweat the small stuff. If you get the big things right, then you don't have to worry so much about the small things; if the feng shui within is tapped to the external, then you can do anything you want inside the house.”
In spite of the blazing sun which came out immediately after the rain, the students went on doggedly with their task, and were seen discussing their findings in groups.
“It's not easy, but I am very interested in feng shui and have been doing it on a part-time basis,” said Sonice Chau from Singapore.
“This is our graduating class, and I am determined to succeed.”

Overcoming Difficulties

28. Sitting The House Auspiciously
Plan the sitting of the house carefully. Do not place the house too far in front, nor too far behind when "positioning" it onto a plot of land. The ideal is to site the house in a way that allows balanced dimensions to be maintained, while at the same time creating the effect of a bright hall in front of the main door. When the bright hall is completely missing, chi energy cannot accumulate and wealth luck becomes squeezed. The bright hall can be a garden or a small foyer-like area in front of the main door.

Learn From Your Enemy
" It is the enemy who can try and teach us to practise the virtues of compassion and tolerance. You can try learn about the importance of being patient. However, the actual practice of implementing patience comes when meeting with an enemy. "
