財箱的秘密The Secret of the Fortune Chest

第一次踏入位于新加坡金融中心的威斯汀大飯店 ，看到這美麗高貴的‘櫃子’，夾在電梯的中間。 一時之間，還找不到電梯的按鈕。

櫃子和箱子代表儲財。富貴人家的家裏一定會有很多這樣的東西。我也曾在幾間大飯店和公司看過類似的佈局。在家裏多放，確實能幫主人增進財富，但需特定的設計和顔色來配合主人的先命，再找出適合的方位擺放。

相反的，貧困人家家裏的‘財箱’，是一箱又一箱的Toyogo 塑膠盒，紙盒或一袋又一袋的雜物。 這不但不會進財，財路被堵，還會債台高筑。我曾到一三房式組屋勘察風水，客廳的四分之一都堆積了雜物，還疊到我的腰那麼高。箱子雜物放久了，灰塵一大堆，在風水上是一種煞。

不需要的東西不要眷念著不放。 我有位女客人，四十來歲，卻還收著她童年時的毛绒玩具。如今，她雖已不玩這些了，但這些玩具卻佔據了整個衣櫥的一半。速速清除無謂的東西，要不然就送出去和別人結緣。可以積點善德，又可以保持家宅的寬敞，一舉兩得。

學習放下，要從身邊的東西下手。你抱著這麽多東西，不肯放，心想可能有一天會用到，結果放了一年，三年，東西還是在那兒沒碰。這樣子放不下，死了終究會成了戀物鬼啊！

The first time I stepped into The Westin Singapore, nestled in the financial district, I saw this beautiful and elegant chest of drawers between the lifts. Momentarily, I could not find the button to the lift.

Drawers and boxes represent the storage of wealth. Wealthy families definitely have lots of these in their houses in one form or another. I saw similar arrangement at several major hotels and companies. Putting more of such boxes or chests at home helps the owner to accumulate wealth, but the design and colour must match the birth chart of the owner and the exact auspicious location has to be pin pointed out for placement.

On the contrary, families with financial problems also have “wealth boxes” at home – in the form of the typical Toyogo plastic boxes, paper boxes or plastic bags of stuff everywhere. Instead of directing and storing the wealth energy into their houses, they find themselves mired in debts with many obstacles to their wealth. I once went to a 3-room flat to conduct a Feng Shui audit. One quarter of the living room was filled with clutter and the boxes & bags were stacked as high as my waist. These boxes would collect dust after some time, further exacerbating the situation as it is viewed as a big NO NO in terms of geomancy.

Do not horde over those things which you do not need around the house. I have a lady client in her 40s who kept soft toys that she had since she was a little girl. She does not play with them anymore, yet allowing them to take up half a wardrobe. Clear unneeded items out fast or donate to others for more positive affinities. By doing so, not only do you accumulate merits, your house will be kept spick and span. That is killing 2 birds with one stone!

Learn to let go starting from the things around you. You held on to so many things, refusing to let go, thinking that there will be a use for those things one day. One year, two years, three years on, those things remain unused! In the end when you leave this world, you would still hanker after your possessions!
