Importance
of Mountain Dragon
In
Feng Shui, there is a saying - Mountain govern
Man, Water govern Wealth.
Wealth
obviously refers to money and assets. Man refers
to you; the health, wisdom, emotions, and human
relationship of one's. In simple, mountain refers
to people luck while water, wealth luck.
Now,
what is so important about mountain? To start
off, we have to first understand the very relationship
between mountain and water.
We
have always mentioned that true Feng Shui is about
the influences of "Qi" (metaphysical forces of
nature), how the "Qi" in your residing environment
actually affect you.
Surely
the question to be asking, where does "Qi" come
from? And to answer you, mountain is the source
of all these "Qi".
It
has always been misunderstood by many and even
some Feng Shui practitioner that "Qi" is produced
by water. Or perhaps this is human nature. Everyone
greed after wealth, choosing to just incorrectly
believe so. Afterall, water brings about wealth
(wealth luck)
We
have seen many cases, especially with self-taught
practitioner. Some are in fact very good with
locating wealth corner (water location). But it
is a pity that when it comes to mountain location,
they hardly have the knowledge.
You
have to understand this. All around us, the planet
is constantly changing and growing. Mighty mountains
are formed by the magnetic pull of these planetary
changes, generating "Qi" that affect our lives.
And these "Qi" are carried and dispersed by the
wind and preserved in the water into our environment.
This is the law of Nature.
To
take note, water is just a medium to help gather
and distribute these "Qi". When there is no mountain,
there is no presence of any "Qi". So what's the
point of having water when there is no "Qi" present
to be gathered? Nice to look at but of no use
to be having. No point cheating yourself or worse,
being misled by some inexpert. Without the presence
of "Qi", the Feng Shui formation is just not going
to work.
Think
about it. Now, isn't mountain a more important
factor to consider?
We
have seen also cases of many going just directly
into the interior of the house, neglecting details
of the external environment, the very external
influences. Remember, true Feng Shui is never
an interior decoration.
To
get the best out of Feng Shui, both mountain and
water locations are equally important.
A
good Feng Shui master should have the expertise
in both, capable of identifying good mountain
in the environment; able to cleverly combine both
to bring about a well-balanced Feng Shui formation
for you. In Feng Shui, a balance is always sought
(Yin & Yang)
What
make a good mountain anyway?
In
general, mountain can be of 5 types (Earth, Wood,
Metal, Fire and Water) bringing about different
influences. E.g. Earth mountain aid wealth and
prosperity, fruitfulness offspring. Wood mountain
aid fame and academic.
In
general, a timely and good mountain looks green.
This resembles a healthy and happy dragon, which
will bring you good health and fortunes. A brown
and dry one resembles a sick and angry dragon
that would bring bad health and misfortunes.
Now,
there is definitely nothing wrong with wanting
wealth, who doesn't want it? But just ask yourself
this simple question, who is the one who want
it? Surely it is you, the very man?
Without
good health, wisdom and the correct attitude,
how are you possibly going to achieve wealth?
What is the use of having lots of wealth when
you don't have the health to enjoy it?
Picture
it this way. Water is always flowing (Yin). Yes,
it may bring you wealth with plentiful of riches
flowing in. But without a mighty mountain (Yang)
to cleverly stop and control the water, your wealth
is just going to keep flowing away.
In
life, a balance is always to be sought (Yin &
Yang) remember, when you can earn a lot, you can
also spend a lot. When you can be in good health,
you can also be in ill health. Without a balance,
you can be earning $10k and spending $20K. Now
isn't that instead going to bring more problem
& difficulty to your life in the long run? Worst,
without a good health?
Understand
the true of Feng Shui, seek the correct way of
life.
