Some Feng Shui Experts in Hong Kong have said publicly that the Deadly Flu epidemic seizing Hong Kong is the result of bad Feng Shui for the entire SAR (Special Administrative Region) area of Hong Kong. Is it only a coincidence that the flu bug is called "SAR Syndrome" (SARS)? Can an entire city of 6.9 million people have collective bad Feng Shui? How can it be cured?

According to a Feng Shui show on public TV here in Hong Kong last week the bad Feng Shui started this year, which is the 6th year after the Handover from Britain in 1997.

The Chinese believe that the number 6 is unlucky in certain circumstances. For example: If you and you partner are 6 years apart in age you may not get along very well in your relationship.

Also when you have a 6 in your age (Chinese Birth year), such as 36, 46, 56 then you will have a bad thing happen to you in that year. According to a local Feng Shui Fortune Teller, the first two months of the Chinese New Year of the Goat (this year), the element of Gold is responsible for people's respiratory systems.

The first two month's of this Chinese Year lack enough of this element and therefore people will have more of these respiratory problems.

As the year progresses and more of the element Gold comes into Hong Kong then this disease will go away. The Fortune Teller cautions that later this year another elemental deficiency will cause eye problems for the people of Hong Kong.

The Art of Feng Shui involves the placement of sacred objects in relationship to our surroundings - in particular our home and business.

In Asia, a Feng Shui Master will even be consulted by the Architect in the planning of the relationships of rooms, doorways and windows to themselves and the forces of nature.

It is truly believed that the proper, or improper, positioning and association of all these elements will have a dramatic impact on your life. Here we offer the sacred objects with their meanings for your own Feng Shui collection
