7 feng shui tips: how to buy and design a condo unit

-

ROCKWELL Primaries, Rockwell Land’s newest subsidiary, recently held an open house at 53 Benitez to share some tips on what to consider when choosing a home and what to look out for to attract positive energy with the help of renowned feng shui expert, Dr. Andy Tan.

Company senior vice president Malou Pineda said: “Purchasing your own place will always entail a lot of considerat­ions—from the developer, price, location, even to the amenities offered. We at Rockwell Primaries take all these and ensure that we deliver better than good units that our homeowners will love. We continuous­ly work with Tan to invite more positive energy into each of our developmen­ts.”

2016 is the year of the Fire Monkey and Tan believes that the units facing the San Juan skyline will bring prosperity and good fortune to homeowners. According to him, units facing southeast and southwest are very auspicious for this year. Tan also offered more tips to look out for in attracting positive energy into homes:

1 Get a Southward-facing condo unit for better luck. The feng shui element fire is represente­d by the south direction. 53 Benitez units facing southeast and southwest to the San Juan skyline are very auspicious not only for this year’s Fire Monkey, but also for next year’s Fire Rooster. Homeowners can purchase a unit now then use it later either to live in it, to lease it out, or resell it.

2 Decorate with earth tones. Incorporat­e earth tones into your home’s interior—paint one of the walls brick red, change the sofa’s upholstery to brown, or add accent pieces in yellow to keep your home in harmony with the energy of the year and befriend the ruling Fiery Monkey energy.

3 Brighten up your living space. Switch the warm lights on in your home to brighter lights like LED and Zen lights. The Fire Monkey is a playful animal that loves to jump around and having brighter lights would bring in more luck and positive energy to the home.

4 Stow away your fountains and aquariums until the next few years. It is best to refrain from decorating your homes with water elements in the year of the Fire Monkey. You’d want to replace the cool elements of your home décor with something fiery if you want the harmony to be through and through.

5 Know how to maximize the chi flow. Chi is the energy or the “good vibrations” that flows through a room, bringing harmony and prosperity with it. Before you purchase a condo unit, make sure there are no doors directly facing verandas or windows to make sure the chi stays within the home and not simply pass through. As the chi freely enters your home, you welcome it as you would welcome a guest.

6 Be mindful of your source of income. True to the feng shui elements of the fire and the monkey, this year is predicted to be an erratic and volatile year. Investing in property, particular­ly for a home, is very promising for 2016. As long as there’s enough source of funding, you’ll be in good hands.

7 Do your research, know your developer. Before reading up on feng shui tips, what you should first take into considerat­ion when buying a condo unit is the developer. You would want to invest your hardearned money with a trusted and reputable developer.

2016 is truly a promising year and with 53 Benitez, Rockwell Primaries offers an affordable premium quality of living.
