FENG SHUI - 1 - Feng Shui teaches to create more health and
harmonious environments to live and
to work. Feng = wind, shui = water. Your source starts in China 5.000
years ago. - Wind and water are two important
things for the life: no alive being gets to live without the wind (air) or
the water for a long time - While certain houses and places
provide us a well being sensation, in
other atmospheres we felt indisposition and negative emotions. These feelings are provoked by the
energies good or bad of the place. The feng shui search to harmonize,
to vitalize and to cure these places. The vital energy, or the prana is known by Chinese as chi, ki or ch'i. - In the Universe an energy, Tao,
exists known by the Supreme Perfection" or the "Path of the
Perfection", that created the Cosmos of the Chaos; it is the harmony
that maintains the Order in the Universe; it is the law and the way to the
and of the world. The Tao manifest itself in two
opposite and complementary forces, yang
and ying. These two opposite forces maintain
the Universe in constant movement. - Yang corresponds to the
masculine, to the sky, to the light, a day, to the heat, in the sun, to the
spring, to the activity. - Ying corresponds to the
feminine, to the Earth, to the night, to the darkness, to the cold, to the
winter, to the passivity. In feng shui these two cosmic
forces correspond to the wind and the water. In human beings we have the
breathing (the wind, originated in the sky, in the space) and the blood (the
water, originated in the Earth). The feng shui search equilibrates
these two forces of the Nature in the man, in the home and in the external
environment. - According to the feng shui the
people are influenced by the environment, for the well or for the evil;
changing the environment the people's destiny can also be changed. - The feng shui is studied by two
main schools: the School of the Forms studies the location and the topography
of the terrain; the School of the Compass studies the relation of the place
with the cardinal points and with the Chinese astrology and the I Ching. In practice it combines the result
of the two schools. - The feng shui also uses other
sciences as the radiestesiy and even
the laws of the architecture and of the modern decoration. - The acupuncture teaches that the
vital energy circulates in channels (meridians) in the human body. In the Earth the energy also runs
through channels that Chinese call veins or claws of the dragon. - If the vital energy of the Earth
is very strong, it will form high mountains, finishing in a peak; when the
energy is weaker, it forms mountains low, rounded. Because of this many people seek
the mountains because they release
more energy and vitality than the valleys. In the valleys there is less
energy, the rivers run slowly and can appear the swamps, where the energy is
stagnated, without life. - Says the feng shui that the best
location to a house is in a valley in horseshoe form, with the Dragon (high
mountains) protecting its left, and the Tiger (smaller mountains) to its
right. The Celestial North (habitation of
the gods) should be behind the house. And still will better whether
exist a beach or river in front, combining the fire of the mountains with the
water (sea, river, lake), and increasing the circulation of energy in that
region. A lake in front of the house
substitutes a river. - In the cities the high buildings
are similar to the mountains, however they produce many shadows, more than
the mountains, and doesn't have the vitality of those. - Chi is the vital energy, the
vitality, the prana, the life. The diseased
have little or bad chi. The chi circulates inside of our
body, of our house, in the planet Earth and in the whole Universe. - The regions with much chi are
full of life: good for the agriculture, they have a lot of forests,
woodlands, verdant field, abundant animals; the chi lack produces the
deserts, bad lands for the plantation. The Chinese and the feng shui have
much superstition, for instance, they don't put the bed of the bedroom with
the feet turned for the door because
the deads always come out loaded with the feet first. If the feet point for the wall
beside the door does not have problem. They avoid the number 4 just because
its sound is similar to the word death. The sound of the number 2 is
similar to the word again. A commercial house with the number
424 (death again death) would go to the failure because no Chinese would go
to want to enter in the store. But for the Western it is until a
beautiful number. - Other superstitions exist in the
feng shui, but due to the thoughts that produce in the mind of the people
should be taken into consideration. - The most favorable form for a
terrain or house is the rectangular or even square; the houses in “L",
“H" or triangular are unfavorable to the circulation of the chi. - The people were more social and
happy when they had a garden in front of the house. There they stopped to talk with
their neighbors; it was the point of encounter of the neighborhood and there
frequently met the residents arranging or looking their plants. Each one perfected the possible
best, because it was the garden that beautified the house. Nowadays the garden was
substituted by a dark and cold garage. The residents never find reason for to
be long there. In the geminate houses the Sun
does not enter in its front, be at the garage or in the room in the entrance.
- Facades of houses with decadence
signs should be corrected by paintings or reforms. Sometimes a simple painting
already cause a good impression, it can be even only in the low part, in the
case of two-story house, where the humidity corrode more the house. Besides, almost nobody looks above
2 m of height. - If the front door is in straight
line with the door of the bottom, the energy chi will enter and will leave
for the door of the bottom. Put a bell of the winds to reduce
the speed of the chi. - A bell of the winds (those tubes
that keep beating one in the another with the wind, producing a
characteristic sound), in front of your house will give more life to your entrance. The people will have more
conscience of your existence. If the neighbor's door is close of
yours, check if the sound of the bell of the winds not displease him. - A mirror in front of the
entrance door reflects the chi of turn outside of the house; replace him for
a picture or leave the wall empty. - When there is window in front of
the entrance door, the energy chi enters and leaves; the cure is to put blinds
or curtains. - In the room of visits (living
room) the sofa and the armchairs should be in front of the entrance door.
Avoid to sit down of coast for the entrance. Thus always we are guard of people
that enter and we avoid the
unconscious fear of surprises or unexpected dangers. - A mirror that reflects the bed
of the bedroom, besides giving the impression of being always abed, the
reflected images indicate movement of energy that affects the night rest. - In the superior floor the toilet
has usually has been put in inadequate places: on top of the stove, of the
dining table, of the bed of the bedroom, or still behind the wall of the
headboard of the bed. The door of the bathroom should
always be closed. - The pipe of the sewer is another
problem, it goes by the wall of the kitchen, of the room, below of the whole
house. - The garage substituted the
beautiful gardens of the past, the back yards were cemented, and the walls
substituted the fences of wire or wood covered by the flowery creepers. - A garden in the backyard will
give more life to your house and happiness for you. Whether the backyard is small
plants creepers or vertical bushes, to their feet plants flowers or a
mini-vegetable garden. - A house is yin because it is
passive, immobile; the human beings are yang because they are active,
movable. - A street with bad chi: abandoned
houses or in ruins, slums, bad smell (sewer discovered, some factories),
sidewalk in bad state, intense traffic, lamppost with transformers, towers of
high tension, etc. A street with good chi: houses
well cared, artistic, gardens and very green, neighbors pleasant, silent,
etc. Avoid thick curtains so that the
sunshine to illuminate your house turning it healthier and cheerful. - Open the windows so that the
pure air of the morning substitutes the used and stagnated of the dawn. - Use pictures of happy and
positive landscapes: the Nature, a lion, a sunny beach, mountains, gardens,
etc. Avoid melancholic pictures: a
castle in the fog, a swamp, wars, etc. - Get rid of everything that did
not use in the last years, or what is with defect or broken: if it is useful
donates to the closer asylum to your house. - A street finishing in your front
can be more attractive, but the energy chi is projected as an arrow, with
much violence in the direction of your
house. If it are a street with little
traffic the stream will be smaller. The solution is to put a mirror to
reflect the negative chi. - The proximity of places where
exists much suffering or other bad influences is not good: slaughterhouse,
police station, slum, asylum of old, butcher shop, bars, cemetery, barracks,
penitentiary, factories. - The power in the ways or be the
impression that the forms cause in the people should be applied in the
architecture and in the landscape around. The power of the forms: the
beautiful forms found in the Nature, in the flora and in the fauna, the
pyramids, spheres, the feminine forms (curves) in the men's mind, the cone
hat of the witches, etc. - The corners, as the beams of the
roof, of the furniture, of the square columns, of the corners with angles
with less than 90 degree, turn the chi cutting in the directions where the
corners point: beds in the bedroom, sofas in the television room, etc. - The corner of a building driven
forward of your house should be attenuated with bushes or trees that also
protect of the sonorous pollution of the traffic. - The edges, corners or sharp
angles of the furniture emit the cutting energy chi; prefer furniture of
rounded edges. - Put works of art in your house:
statuettes, ornaments original
pictures, etc. A picture of a shady and lonely
castle in a swamp wakes up feelings of solitude and sadness. To opposite, a beautiful sunny
landscape of the Nature, a park full of people turns more happiest house and
its owner more optimistic. - Everything depends on your
choice... or of your money: to live in a calm street, full of beautiful
houses with gardens, mountains and nearby
woodlands. Or to inhabit a house where when
whether eye in the window or opens itself a door sees itself a wall of
factory or building, a wall of the rail line, a street of infernal transit. Sometimes an environment change
will do well for your health and prosperity. - It is good to have water near to
the house, as for instance, a little
pond; avoid stagnated water, put plants and fishes, give more life to
the water. - A river or built channel (the
least artificial possible) it is also beneficial. In the metropolis, deserts of
cement, the rivers become more and more dangerous because of the inundations;
there is not more land to absorb the waters, and they run in great amounts
for the rivers.
