Dear Cheah,
Thanks for writing in and for reading my books. If you read my book on Feng Shui (books like Pure Feng Shui, Feng Shui for Homebuyers series, Stories and Lessons on Feng Shui) you will know for a fact that ITEMS like laughing buddha , fulu shus and 8 immortals figurines, are NOT part of true, classical Feng Shui.
These items DO NOT affect any of your home's feng shui as they do not emit any Qi. They are for decorative purposes only.
If you truly want to benefit from the effects of Feng Shui you NEED to do it the proper way. First - UNDERSTAND and LEARN how Qi works in your environment. Remember Qi comes from your external 'natural' environment. Study four things - the environment, the building, time influence and your personal BaZi - how all these relate to the Qi flow of your house.
Find out WHAT is the cause of your problem Feng Shui wise. Then - fix that problem.
None of these require you to buy a trinket or plastic figurine. Feng Shui is a study of energy from your environment. The energy - known as Qi - is FREE. Just learn how to tap to it.
Warm Regards,
JY
