Feng Shui FAQ: Tips for Conceiving a Child

Introduction

Hello John,

My name is Jacqui. I once read an article about using Feng Shui to help conceive a child by placing specific items on a particular wall in the bedroom. It also mentioned different placements depending on whether you preferred a boy or a girl. Unfortunately, I can't find the article anymore. Could you provide me with this advice, please?

Thank you, Jacqui

Understanding Feng Shui for Conception

The Basics of Feng Shui

Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice, aims to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. It involves arranging spaces to promote positive energy flow, or "Chi." When it comes to conception, Feng Shui can be particularly beneficial by creating a balanced and nurturing environment.

Steps to Enhance Fertility Using Feng Shui

Step 1: Determine Your Home's Orientation

1. Compass Reading: Start by taking a compass reading outside your home. Ensure you are away from any metal objects or power lines that could interfere with the reading. Note the direction your home faces and sits (these are 180 degrees apart). Align the compass with the side of your home, looking from the front towards the back, and record the angle.

Step 2: Create Your Flying Star Chart

1. Flying Star Chart: Visit a reliable Feng Shui resource to generate your Flying Star chart. You will need the direction your home faces and the period it was built. The periods are as follows:

   • Period 4: 1924-1943
   • Period 5: 1944-1963
   • Period 6: 1964-1983
   • Period 7: 1984-2003

   This chart consists of nine squares, each containing three numbers. Identify where the number 8 appears in the top left of a square.

Step 3: Identify the Optimal Room for Conception

1. Protractor Placement: Place a protractor on the floor at the center of your home, aligning it with the angles you recorded for your home's sitting and facing directions. Use the room closest to the direction where the number 8 appears in your Flying Star chart:
   • North: 0 or 360 degrees
   • Northeast: 45 degrees
   • East: 90 degrees
   • Southeast: 135 degrees
   • South: 180 degrees
   • Southwest: 225 degrees
   • West: 270 degrees
   • Northwest: 315 degrees

Additional Tips for Enhancing Fertility

• Bedroom Placement: Position your bed to face the "Nien Yen" direction, which is believed to enhance fertility. This direction varies based on your Kua number, which can be calculated using your birth year.
• Symbolic Items: Place symbols of fertility, such as pomegranates or elephants with their trunks down, in your bedroom.
• Declutter: Ensure your bedroom is free of clutter to allow for the free flow of positive energy.

Conclusion

Feng Shui offers a unique approach to creating a nurturing environment for conception. By understanding your home's orientation, creating a Flying Star chart, and identifying the optimal room for procreation, you can enhance your chances of conceiving. Remember to incorporate additional tips, such as bedroom placement and symbolic items, to further boost fertility.
