Feng shui: your secret to academic success in 2013
21 Jan, 2013
If you're a student hoping for a new year of prosperity, wellbeing and academic success, you might want to contemplate how feng shui can help. Rosalind Scutt speaks to one of Australia's most renowned feng shui experts to find out how it could benefit students in 2013.
Feng shui (pronounced fung-shwee) is the ancient Chinese practice involving the co-ordination of one's environment to improve fortune, luck and general wellbeing by enticing the best possible qi (energy flow).
A five thousand year old practice in China and a mainstream belief in many eastern countries, feng shui is fast gaining popularity in Australia, although sceptics are likely to compare the art to a belief in Santa or the tooth fairy. But whether you're a believer or not, there's no harm in researching the idea or making simple changes to your environment, especially if you've set yourself some challenging targets in areas like academic achievement.
Mina Zheng is a renowned feng shui consultant, blogger and the founding director of Feng Shui Australia. Born in China and based in Sydney since 1990, Mina is the feng shui consultant for the 2013 Sydney Chinatown upgrade — a position that confirms her respect and good standing among the Chinese-Australian community.
"Feng shui is based on the environment. It is more a science than a cultural belief," says Mina, who has witnessed many cases of increased wellbeing and success in her clients that she attributes to feng shui.
"Some of my clients have become very successful and not only in business. I have helped people to find relationships, jobs and to fall pregnant".
For students, Mina has some simple tips for your study space that could help you to achieve academic success in 2013.
Mina's top tips
- Position your desk correctly. In 2013, the star which helps study is in the south-east and northern area. Students should place their desks in these areas of their homes.
- The desk should face the window. Try to avoid having your back facing the entry point or the window as this can mean no support at your back. Instead, the energy pushes from behind and a student cannot sit for long.
- Keep the room and table well organised. Good feng shui is about good energy flow. A cluttered desk is bad for study because it can mess up your thinking.
- In Chinese culture, lucky objects are commonly used to encourage and help students to achieve high results. These objects are: a nine level pagoda, a set of four bamboos grown in a vase or pot, and an earth globe. You can put these items on your desk or on top of a bookshelf to enhance luck with study. See Mina's website or a feng shui store to discover what your personal lucky objects are, then place these objects in your room.
- Avoid noise in the south-east area of the room. The 2013 Grand Duke is in the south-east, and disturbing the Grand Duke can attract bad luck. Put some red on the east wall of the study to help balance the energy.
Although the above may help, Mina warns there are many other things to consider, which often come down to the individual. For example, each person has an element which represents academic luck. If you know what your luck element is, you can input the element by using the associated colour and object. A student with fire as their luck element could sit on red chair or have a lot of red visible in their room. In order to know your individual feng shui needs, you may need to seek professional advice.
Still not convinced? Give it a try! Mina says positive results should start to occur within just four weeks of implementing feng shui in your environment.
