In this case, it's a Japanese word that is used for 'female ninja'!!
CityHunter wrote:Having a toilet next to one's bedroom is bad. Take note that most old living space designs have outhouses - both here in Asia and that of the Western world. It was only for convenience and limited space was it moved closer. Per professional experience, most bedrooms with a connecting toilet which isn't feng shui remedied experience serious problems mostly related to health and relationships. As its more costly and impractical to do away with the toilet the best solution then is to negate that bad "influence" which the toilet imparts - by placing something that is powerful enough to do that. What I originally prescribe to my clients is to use the salt solution but its not an easy process to maintain and in most areas I found out that its not easy anymore to get natural rock, sea or mineral salt - the latter being too costly too. Hence, the more practical solution is to get something that is low maintenance yet able to do the job - a plant then is the best candidate for this job with the cacti variety being the best. Take note that if used in an ordinary living space a cacti is bad in feng shui as it "kills" the chi but in a toilet the majority of chi there is either stagnant or bad. Hence, it will effectively kill or be killed by that. If the latter happens that's the time we need to upgrade the solution.
Sea salt is very expensive, but you can get it at health food shops!
But does it matter that the bedroom cupboard is between the bedroom and toilet, so that the cupboard (built in, not a movable piece) is entirely covering the toilet - so the toilet connects to the back wall of the cupboard and not the bedroom wall?
I might have a look in about cacti...

A Wood type like yours is suited for continually evolving to progress in this world. Take note too that there is no such thing as coincidence. Everything happens for a reason. Just note of all the posters and visitors to this forum. They chanced upon this for a reason.
I know that weak doesn't mean bad, it is more along the lines of being independant...? I seem to have an abundant of wealth in the chart, but it might be okay as I have a lot of parallel, but not quite as much as wealth. Anyway, it's goot to know about wood being about growing and evolving!
CityHunter wrote:Let's apply that to archeology - which isn't bad by the way and I would love to study it too especially if its going to make me something like Indiana Jones :D Archeology is about learning of the past to know why we are so at the present. This is learning which fits a Wood type. For you to maximize your success in this field you need to share this knowledge and gather information too from others and share it again. You can also adapt this old knowledge to current or future trends - hence, its possible that you can be a successful lecturer and consultant at the same time. Both requiring travel too which is of the Water element.
Heh, I wish it was like Indiana Jones...!!! Too bad it's mostly paperwork. *laugh* But yes, I love to write about ancient Egypt and post it online (

Academia is so static and hard to change even with evidence... but I don't like that. I like new ideas!
CityHunter wrote:To improve your focus on your archeology study you also need to clear and refocus yourself often. This is the main weakness of the Wood type as you need to purge all those negative factors often so that your mind is always fresh to accept and introduce new ideas AND solutions.
To develop better your inner chi the old school method requires you to undergo martial arts training as well as healing arts training. This is because you learn to balance the Yin and Yang of not only yourself but of others and the nature that surrounds you. I just don't like the watered down versions commonly sold as real martial arts nowadays and that extreme combat shown in TV bastardizes the real meaning of martial art. Your best start then is to find a basic guide of something that you like on both areas. I suggest you look up on the subject of Qi Gong. Falun Gong I think used a mix of both with weird interpretations so avoid that for now. Ha ha, just don't follow those training sessions done in old martial arts movies as you need a good master to help you heal afterwards. The other art that I know that is as good is Tai Chi or even better yet if you chance upon a guru that can really teach you Tetada Kalimasada. It has both healing and combat aspects but the latter is mostly kept secret. Its what our Philippine Marine Force Recon are being taught nowadays.
I did tai chi for a while, when they were doing it at lunch times at a place of previous employment. I might have to look into it again...!
CityHunter wrote:Why is it important to learn both to achieve better harmony within yourself? For not only do you maintain and/or improve your body's positive chi but also improve those of your surroundings AND earn good karma points. Karma speaks of returns for things done. The trick which you are to learn in the future is how to WITHDRAW that good karma you have deposited. You do this by tapping into the first aspect of luck - God luck. You cannot withdraw your good karma points not unless you have attuned yourself to Him. It need not be a specific religion BUT you need to believe in the existence of God.
I do believe in the existance of God, so that's a good start. I believe in the teachings of Christianity.
CityHunter wrote:Back to your toilet issue :D As yours doesn't have a window you will need then to buy two (2) potted live cactus plants. This way you can rotate them every few days so that they could have sunlight. It would've been easier if you have a window in your comfort room as you can place it on the windowsill or where the sun will shine longer.
Again, any of the cacti variety will do. No need to have any specific cacti but the bigger the better just be practical about the size as if its like those you see in the desert I'd doubt one would find it easy to use the toilet with that
