Feng
Shui A Superstition?
What
is Feng Shui? Is it a myth or superstition?
To
answer you, it is not. Feng Shui definitely exists.
But it is not as what you seen on TV and movies,
possessing great powers to twist one's fate, to
gaining power and becoming rich over night.
In
actual fact, it is a knowledge, the study and
understanding of the environmental influences.
How the "Qi" (metaphysical forces of nature) in
your residing environment actually affect you.
A formula used to enhance one's luck during timely
good luck, to achieve the best possible benefits
and to prevent and minimize losses and misfortune
during untimely ill luck.
It
is just as simple as that. Feng Shui is a very
practical application to allow one to live in
harmony with the environment, to achieve the best
possible benefits.
Think
of it this way. Life is always full of up and
downs. Just recall. Haven't you been in the situation
where you were so close to achieving things, to
achieving success but somehow with a twist of
luck, lose it? And nevertheless, experienced times
of extreme ill luck, failing in whatever you do?
To
explain, everyone will goes through a period of
good luck and ill luck in his or her life. This
is the law of life. Whether you are rich or poor,
a Chinese or European, you can never run away
from this change of luck. Haven't you seen many
rich who bankrupt over night while some poor unnoticeably
become rich and wealthy?
It
is always one's action that is behind his or her
success. Are you one who always complains about
your ill luck but done nothing to help yourself?
Opportunities are always there. It is just a matter
of whether you know how to grab it.
Many
people have this misconception that Feng Shui
brings wealth and windfall. This is very wrong.
It is rather about opportunities; making use of
the understanding of the law or nature and life
to effectively help you make the most of chances
to achieve success and wealth.
Now,
life is fair to everyone. In the path of life,
everyone will have his time of good luck. Feng
Shui is there to help enhance on it, bringing
about positive influences to better your success.
And during time of ill luck, to help minimize
losses and misfortune to allow you the opportunities
to turn things over when yours good luck eventually
arrives. With a comfortable and calm environment,
surely you will have the best of health, wisdom
and strength to meet the challenges in life, to
advance towards success? This is what Feng Shui
is about.
And
to be talking about Feng Shui, we all know that
it is a traditional skill, which originates from
the olden China. And to be talking about the olden
China, it just can't be helped by many to also
think of traditional Chinese Cultures. Hence when
Feng Shui is the topic, many would naturally relate
it with Chinese Cultures or worse, myths that
are passed down from the olden days.
This
is a very wrong concept of thinking. Feng Shui
is never related with Chinese cultures and definitely
any myths. It is never about religion, cultures
and needless to be saying curses, ghost or deities.
Feng Shui is never a superstitious belief.
In
the practice of true classical Feng Shui, there
is never the presence of any legendary belief
and practices. To better correct your thinking,
it is a scientific belief; the wise knowledge
of the law of nature.
This
profound knowledge has for this reason got more
and more recognized and today, we can actually
see the growth of different schools of Feng Shui
practices. But whatever differences in Feng Shui
practices there may be, the correct Feng Shui
application revolve around the basic principle
of life - The relationship of the 5 Elements,
which bring about the formation of this Universe.
They are the Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.
All
forms in this Universe belong to either one of
the five elements and are in one way or another,
mutually affecting one another, which in turn
affect our life. This is an ever-going cycle in
the law of Nature.
Feng
Shui is a formula, which cleverly work around
the law of Nature.
Based
on the philosophy of the productive and destructive
cycle of the five elements, the application of
Feng Shui help to incorporate one's astrological
element accordingly; to be in harmony with the
surrounding, bringing about beneficial gains.
Now
if you truly understand Feng Shui. Feng Shui is
never about placing of objects and items. It is
never an interior decoration. Remember, in the
law of nature, a stone is just a stone and be
it a gold or silver, they are just metal etc and
that is it. Think about it. Do you think a fake
plant and a real plant can bring about the same
influence? If you are destined to meet a mishap
in this life, do you think by simply placing an
object in your house, you can just avoid things?
It
is rather about location, direction and time,
knowing how the "Qi" (the metaphysical forces
of nature) in our residing environment affect
us. Knowing how to harness the correct "Qi" into
your residing environment to aid you. Now, if
you are destined to meet with some calamity in
your life, you just have to face it. But with
the correct application of Feng Shui, you can
minimize these misfortunes. Making use of the
positive "Qi" in your residing environment, you
can improve and enhance your life destiny and
luck. Instead of meeting with a grave accident,
getting away with some minor ones.
And
note. Different people react differently to the
"Qi" surrounding them. What may be positive for
some may just be negative for you. There can never
be a standardized one for all Feng Shui formation.
And why is this so? Because everyone is born at
a different time which mean having a different
personal astrological element. For example, if
your personal element is Fire, do you think an
influence of Water element will benefit or harm
you?
Understand
also this. The world is always moving and changing
with time. In life, you can never have the best
of luck all the time. Just like when there is
day there is night, when there are times of good
luck, they are times of ill luck. This is the
basic principle of Yin & Yang.
Over
different period of time, your residing environment
though remain unchanged will undergo influences
of both good and ill luck too.
Correct
and true Feng Shui helps to manipulate these influences
for you to be able to meet and handle these ever
going changes; to allow you to wisely and efficiently
face the challenges in life to achieve wealth
and success. And this is just how helpful and
practical Feng Shui, a tool is.
Feng
Shui is never a superstitious belief. It is a
profound skill used to manipulate the metaphysical
forces of nature to help enhance one's well-being,
the art of living in harmony with the nature environment.
