Feng Shui and Poison Arrows Outside

What are poison arrows?

There are both tangible and intangible (or secret) poison arrows.  Tangible poison arrows are those you can see. 

They are the sharp, pointed or straight physical and non-physical objects in and around your environment pointed directly at your main door or the point where the maximum amount of Yang energy enters your home*.   They are sharp, pointed or straight physical and non-physical objects in and around your home and office pointed directly at you.

Intangible poison arrows are more difficult to identify.   They are negative energies created by the presence of Yin buildings.  It is fast Qi moving through a narrow gap between buildings.  They are negative thoughts and feelings sent to you silently from another person.  It is invisible and damaging.

Outdoors

Identify poison arrows and the direction they are coming from and neutralise them before beginning your indoor Feng Shui.  This is to ensure that the quality of the Qi Energy entering your home is auspicious.

External poison arrows include, but are not limited to:

A straight road coming directly towards your facing direction

Your home situated at the end of a cul-de-sac being bombarded with fast-moving Qi

A curved road (like a boomerang shape) heading towards your facing direction

A triangular roofline from a neighbouring property

A single tree

A single lamp post          

A single telegraph pole

The edge of a building

Overhead roads

Overhead bridges

Overhead railway lines

Less obvious, but nonetheless inauspicious is:

Fast moving Qi moving between the narrow gaps of buildings

Dead tree trunks

Hospital

Police Station

Cemetery

The front of a neighbour’s car (which symbolically resembles a predatory animal)

To counter these afflictions first ascertain the facing direction of your home which will identify the direction the affliction is coming from.  Use the controlling cycle to block the poison arrow.

*The facing direction may be your front door or the part of your home that has the highest percentage of Yang Qi coming into your home.  This Yang Qi can come from a frequently used road, a river or an open space where positive energy gathers.

HEALTH means Wealth in Feng Shui

In the practice of Feng Shui prevention is always better than cure and this is no exception when it comes to Health.  Whatever else you have in your life cannot be fully enjoyed if you don’t enjoy good health.

To energise your home for good health you can activate your Health Direction in harmony with the Five Elements, as shown in the table below.

Kua Number	Tien Yi (Health)	Energise
1	East	Bamboo, Crane, Pine Tree, Round-Leafed Plants
2	West	All-Metal Windchime, Smooth Crystal Balls
3	North	Metal Tortoise, Windchime, Small Aquarium
4	South	Scented Candles, Horses, Round-Leafed Plants
5 (Male)	West	All-Metal Windchime, Smooth Crystal Balls
5 (Female)	Northwest	All-Metal Windchime, Smooth Crystal Balls
6	Northeast	Crystal Gemtree, Natural Crystals, Scented Candles
7	Southwest	Bowl of Natural Crystals, Scented Candles
8	Northwest	All-Metal Windchime, Smooth Crystal Balls
9	Southeast	Bamboo, Small Round-Leafed Plants, Green Dragon

‘Tien Yen’ translates as ‘Doctor in Heaven.’  This energy strengthens the body, mind and spirit so that you are able to live life to the full.  

The number associated with the illness star in Flying Star Feng Shui (a more advanced practice of Feng Shui) is 2 and its element is Earth.  When it ‘flies’ into an area that is in conflict with the number and the element of the area illness can result.

As an example, if the number 2 illness star ‘flies’ into the South, it is both causing illness vibrations relating to the heart, blood, veins or eyes and at the same time exhausting the energy of the South which is Fire.  The solution to this is to introduce Metal energy into the area.  The Metal has no effect on the element of Fire however it will exhaust the Earth element of the illness star. 

This is where knowledge of the Five Element Theory of Feng Shui and its three cycles is essential.  To effectively neutralise the illness star it is necessary to know the element to use to counteract its negative energies.

At a more basic level, keeping the home clear and clutter-free will avoid the likelihood of Yin Energy forming which will in turn create negative vibrations.  Opening doors and windows on a regular basis to refresh and revitalize the energy of your home will help maintain good health.

Poison arrows can also create illness vibrations.  If you have an overhead beam ‘pressing down’ on the heads of your family either above a seating area or above their bed, this can cause headaches or migraines.  The edges of walls or free-standing structures such as open shelves can also cause illness in different parts of the body depending on where the poison arrow is pointing.

Keeping your bathroom clear and clean as well as ensuring you have no blocked pipes or blocked drains in your home is the equivalent of keeping the blood flowing freely through your body.

The universal direction for Health is the East and displaying the longevity symbols of the Crane, Bamboo and the Pine Tree in this area as well as lush large round-leafed plants is auspicious.

Exterior Feng Shui – part 2

In the first part of ‘Exterior Feng Shui’ we talked about looking for negative influences outside your home.

So if you have any of these, what should you do about it?

PROTECT first!

The way to protect your front door is by placing protective animals on either side.

These can be outside (if you have the space) or on the inside facing out.

These animals can be Chinese Fu Dogs, they are a popular protector in the East and also readily available in the west.

If you prefer alternatives, you can use dogs or lions.  Elephants with their trunks down are also protective creatures.

Whichever image you use they will only protect if they are facing outwards.  

Especially in the case of the lion, which is by nature an aggressive animal, if you have them facing inwards they will send negative energy into your home rather than protecting the outside of your home.

Poison Arrows

Coming From

Remedy

North	Place earth objects like boulders, decorative objects, a brick wall between your front door and the poison arrow
Northeast	Place lush green plants between your facing direction and poison arrow
East	Place wind chimes between your facing direction and the poison arrow (the sound of metal on metal will dissipate the negative energy)
Southeast	Place wind chimes between your facing direction and the poison arrow
South	Place a water feature between your facing direction and the poison arrow (in the case of your front door only put water directly in front of the door or to the left)
Southwest	Place lush green plants between your facing direction and poison arrow
West	Place a bright light facing out between your facing direction and the poison arrow
Northwest	Place a bright light facing out between your facing direction and the poison arrow

This is using the destructive cycle to neutralise poison arrows.  If the affliction is less serious, for example you have a poison arrow that is partially hidden by a wall or plants then the exhaustive cycle can be an alternative.

Using plants and flowers, lights, water features, wind chimes or crystals can all help deflect poison arrows away from your front door.

Shiny metallic door furniture can also deflect negative energies to avoid them influencing the energy entering your home.

While the purpose of this is to deflect negative energies away from your home, you don’t inadvertently want to bounce these back towards a neighbouring house, so things like decorative cannons or similar are inauspicious.  

These create their own poison arrow pointing at your neighbour and the purpose of Feng Shui is to be in harmony with your surroundings, not conflict.

The important thing is to create a clean, clear and welcoming area in front of your home to invite positive Chi Energy to enter.

Exterior Feng Shui

So how can you influence the exterior of your home or office?  How can you positively affect your surroundings?

The first thing is always to use your compass to find out the direction your home faces.

Once you know that, the next step is to look at your immediate environment.

City or Town Houses

How much space do you have outside?  Are there any poison arrows* pointing directly at your front door?

Poison arrows are:

The edge of a neighbour’s roof line

A lamp post

A single upright tree

A straight road coming directly towards your front door

A narrow gap between houses opposite that is sending negative Energy towards you

Anything that appears threatening will be sending negative Energy towards your front door

Do you have a busy road outside your home?  How fast does the traffic move?  Are you at the end of a cul-de-sac?  Do you have a busy road behind your home?  Is the house on your left lower than the house on your right?

Rural or Country Houses

Are there houses around you?  Is the land flat or undulating?  Is the back of your property higher than the front?  What is directly opposite your front door?  Is the land to the left of your home lower than the land on the right?  Do you have a river running in front of you or behind you?

These are some of the things to look for before beginning to work with what you have.

Ideal Configuration

Having given some idea of what to look for, here is the ideal configuration for a home, so you can look for positives as well as negatives.

In Landscape Feng Shui, which focuses on the exterior of a property, the ideal layout is what is known as the ‘armchair effect.’

This has the left side of your home (standing at the front door looking out) higher than the right.

The land behind your home will be higher than the land at the front.

There is an open space in front to allow positive Energy to accumulate before entering your home.

There will also be a winding river meandering in front, allowing positive Chi Energy to enter your home as it passes and high ground behind creating support.

In traditional Feng Shui this signifies, the Green Dragon on the left (East), the White Tiger on the right (West), the Black Turtle behind (North) and the Red Phoenix in front (South.)

The environment is much different now than it was when Feng Shui first evolved.

Fortunately, in harmony with the living skill it is, it now incorporates the elements in our modern world positively and effectively.

Have a look around and next time we will look at positive steps to take if the exterior of your home is less than ideal.

To the fulfillment of your dreams
