Dear Anon,

1. Under the Five Elements concept, crystals are usually considered as belonging to the earth element. The basis for this rationale is because, crystals come from the earth.

2. It would not be prudent to hang too many crystals in the house.

The `natural' way is the use of chanderliers with glass crystals. This would be the best method without drawing too much `unsightly' attention.

3. Placing crystals at East and South can be a double edged sword as they are made of earth.

4. We should not be placing or hanging crystals all over the place especially if that location has no lighting. Without light to pass thru the crystal, it has no use at all.

5. Furthermore, hanging too many crystals can be unhealthy, over a long period if it is not frequently cleaned: It is far worse to have dusty crystals than none at all.

6. Some FS practitioners may recommend crysals at North-East and South-West but, it is best to confirm the following:-

6.1 Is there sufficient light to shine thru the crystals?
6.2 Avoid too large a crystal.
6.3 Check for any imbalances at this sector in relation of bad earth elements such as #5 or #2 under Flying Star.

7. Some Feng Shui practitioners may say that it is good to use crystals since, under the five elements concept: Earth produces Metal.

8. This is a double edged sword! When we try to introduce METAL cures, we are trying to exhaust earth element.

9. But what is the use of exhausting it but at the same time, we are adding more earth. The result is that we have to add more METAL cures to try and exhaust bad earth!

10. It is because of this reason, why the "smarter" practitioners go directly to using METAL cures than crystals!

11. Overall, METAL cures are more often much cheaper to purchase. Some of us are already in `deep-shit' situations and making them buy more expensive stuffs and when there is no guarantees... is not the best solution.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
