Are your stairs to success lucky or not?

Thank you, first and foremost, to The Freeman for this lucky opportunity to share no-nonsense feng shui for the prosperity, good health and the pursuit of happiness of its reading public.

This maiden article aims to further introduce you into observing and learning feng shui applications on the right footing by starting on the right step.

Indeed, the stairway to success is laden with the challenges and opportunities to create and harness your personal life energies or chi for luck in the achievement of your human goals and aspirations.

So weekly reading doses of feng shui at your fingertips can properly help you focus on the important learning of this ancient environmental science of prosperity and well-being as compared to a voluminous book on the topic that gives rise to the usual information overload and the issues of not knowing where to start!

With this in mind, let us begin with the ladder of your success.

Literally and practically, the right feng shui of a staircase or stairs in every home or office building is one which you tend to take for granted or neglect in plain sight.

In oral customs and traditions, the ever popular Oro, Plata, Mata count of stairs in a house or anywhere handed down in Filipino folklore on building staircases since the Spanish era prevails, but with a  mistaken bad feng shui notion!

Actual count should follow the oro, plata, mata plus nada pattern instead of just oro, plata, mata.

As such, it is the advocacy of yours truly, that this mythical error be corrected accordingly and hopefully with dispatch from a feng shui remedy viewpoint.

For in feng shui principles, the proper stair count follows a four-step pattern of oro, plata, mata, nada representing gold or good luck for oro, silver or prosperity for plata, mata for death or bad luck/failure, and nada for nothing.

Also, every stairwell landing requires a new set of counting unless it is a continuous type of staircase.  So for every stair flight, a recount observing oro, plata, mata, nada is required.

Architects and geomancers alike have simplified this pattern of counting stairsteps into a good, good, bad, bad scheme whereby each flight of stair steps should end in any of the two good ones!

So there, with this first essential basic feng shui tip applied to your house and offices, you may start your first baby steps in climbing the ladder of success and prosperity in feng shui applications.

Now, hold your breath and do not worry if your staircount does not comply with good feng shui for you can easily remedy this. How? Simply by adding a floormat or an extra small or miniature step for the needed missing steps!

Welcome to no-nonsense feng shui education and avoid spiral stairs!  Step into good luck!
