In ancient china, Feng shui was not an esoteric discipline practiced only by certain tribal members it was an integral part of native culture, something that touched everyone's life. The development of Chinese culture is reflected in Feng Shui. Throughout the development of
the human civilization, new philosophies were
combined
with life space placement, beginning with astrology, astronomy and mathematics, which supplied intricate charts and designs to help farmers and even peasants build
palaces, public buildings and Residences.
Feng
Shui with its strong links with principles of Taoism
is not just a powerful aid in improving and achieving various aspirations in our life but transforms the energy of our place of dwelling. Before Taoism was founded in ancient
China, there were shamans who lived in harmony with their natural environment. These shamans often dwelled in mountain
hideaways and served local communities by
interpreting the omens, predicting weather cycles and were spiritual links between the local population and the invisible mystic world.
Taoism is attributed to a philosopher named Lao Tzu
during the Chou Dynasty around 580 Be. After many years of study he became
enlightened and traveled far and wide in China. His Insights and thoughts were so practical and when he documented it , it came to be known as Tao Te Ching. This book on Philosophy a manual of self- transformation and meditation
written about the "Tao" (the way) got to be known as
TAOSIN.if there is one Taoist belief most strongly associated with fengshui, it is this: - nature is the ultimate power and
humans, as part of nature, benefit by
following the natural laws. With the increase in popularity of Fengshui, the belief that placing enhancers and Gadgets as found in many Fengshui
books and stores around the world is the real solution - to aligning and correcting a space has become fashionable. Many have attempted Fengshui as a past time or hobby. This is alright to the extent that some basics would be followed and the space cleared and opened out to receive the positive energy but certainly not a tool to experiment with. We need to
remember that Authentic fengshui calls for a detailed analysis of the space and its afflictions and the symbols and
Gadgets are part of the enhancing process of the corrective measures and the Gadgets or symbol
do not become the complete remedy to a defect in the building. The Eastern Countries where Feng Shui is strictly
being followed have immense respect for the Feng Shui masters Knoweldge
and audit of the premises. The Fengshui Masters known as Geomancers (those who are able to understand the earth's Energy field and balance it) are valued for the skill of their "eyes" which locates the defect and affliction during an audit. Each house is unique
and the layouts and orientations of the furniture and the people living in it are different and it is akin to the finger print of an individual for which a copy or replica does not exist so when fengshui is adapted for corrections, it becomes very specific ..
When we speak about
orientations and directions a proper judgement and understanding of the advanced Compass school is quite
essential in order that errors are not committed in identification and placement.
A tricky situation is positioning
Water either in the form of a pond, fountain or even swimming pools. In Feng Shui, water signifies wealth
and plays a major role in Fengshui recommendations. One needs to be
cautious as excess water or large water is a source of potential danger and I-ching (the book of changes originating from Taoism) says that "water needs to be treated with
respect". Water features are good (on the basis of
general recommendation) when placed in North or East. If it is a waterfall ensure that the flow of water is towards the home or door or atleast a window and not flowing out of the house.
Water
Ponds are very good in North and if they contain Water lily or
Lotus it is considered more auspicious. There are many homes with swimming pools and one should remember that although water or
swimming pool at the back of the house is not very good, it is exempted if
the family spends more time there as this transforms it
into Yang (positive) energy due to the activity of the people. However if the swimming pools at the backyard is with water and
very quiet, it is very bad due to the build up of Yin (negative) energy.
Remember that water brings in good wealth
luck but could also have extreme negative effects and imbalances if placed in the wrong direction or if they are too big and overpowering. I personally do not recommend large swimming pools in a home as they are overpowering to the home and store excessive amount of
water.
Anything in excess does have its negative implications and we need to keep
in mind that Feng shui is all about creating the Right Balance that is balancing the YIN and the YANG and
restore equilibrium in our place of
dwelling. Exercising caution and a proper judgement are the final answers prior to implementation of any changes.
More on the theory
and practicalities of Fengshui would be given to you in
the corning weeks but meanwhile please do ensure
that your house is Free of clutter.
