There are many approaches to the practice of Feng Shui. It is quite easy for the beginner or DIY-er
to mix different methods and become frustrated by the lack of results, either
positive or negative.
When you choose to practise your own Feng Shui which method
do you feel drawn to?
Because of the pace of our modern lives most people want to
see results without any time delay and as such the newer forms of Feng Shui
such as Eight Aspirations or symbolic placement of objects, as well as the use
of colour, plants, mirrors amongst other things, have become popular.
However, Feng Shui is not a get-rich-quick system; it will
not bring you overnight riches and it was never conceived to do so. When used correctly its purpose is to
harmonise individuals with their surroundings.
Remember there are three luck aspects to our lives Heaven
(Tian), Earth (Ti) and Man (Ren) and they all play a part in determining the
direction your life takes. They each
contribute 33% to your life experience.
Heaven Luck is predetermined, it is the luck we have least influence
over. Heaven Luck is that you bring into
the world at birth. Earth Luck in part
is Feng Shui and Man Luck is your direct contribution, what you do to help
yourself.
8 Mansions Feng Shui for the home and 8 Mansions Feng Shui
for the individual are methods derived from the San Yuan School of Feng Shui
and are popular DIY methods, although currently the personal 8 Mansions is more
widely known and practiced. They are
however, both necessary to be effective.
Classical Feng Shui focuses on external forms (San He
School) to determine the quality of Qi in the environment. These forms used to be natural landforms alone
however in our modern 21st century world manmade forms are also taken into
consideration. The San Yuan School of
Classical Feng Shui looks at time and how it influences the flow of Qi. In
Classical Feng Shui the four considerations in any consultation are Location,
Direction, Time and Residents. All are
studied by a practitioner to ascertain the quality of Qi in the environment,
which in turn is entering a property, and what its effects on the occupants
are. This is not an method that lends
itself to a DIY approach.
Any internal Feng Shui will only ever be as good as the
quality of Qi in the external environment.
If there is Sha Qi (negative Qi) outside that is what will enter the
home. Whilst it is possible for anyone
to look at and determine negative structures outside they also have to know the
effect they will have on the residents of a property, why, and when, whether it
is business premises or a home.
While Feng Shui is a powerful and effective tool it will
only ever be as good as the quality of its application. So when you are serious about improving the
quality of your life; when you are ready to move home; when you want to improve
your career prospects consider whether a professional consultation or a DIY
approach will bring you the desired results.
To the fulfillment of your dreams
