- Facts
on Feng Shui Everyone Should Know
by Lynn Lee
There are some facts on Feng Shui
that everyone should know. Feng Shui is the study of the positioning
of objects so that harmony with the environment can be achieved.
It is believed that everything contains some sort of energy.
Basically, there are 2 types of energy, one being the positive
energy (Qi) and another one being the negative energy (Sha Qi).
Therefore, the flow of Qi is one important aspect of Feng Shui.
Another essential aspect of Feng Shui is the balancing of the
5 key elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood. Some of
these elements go well with each other while some of these elements
clash with each other. For that reason, it is important to know
the nature of the elements to avoid clashes and to reap benefits
from it. |

The flow of Qi
Basically, the flow of Qi in an area is determined by geomagnetism,
astronomy, space and weather. Common examples such as placing
an object outside your door, having a dirty kitchen sink or even
the colors of the objects around you can affect the Feng Shui.
Practitioners of Feng Shui believe that in order to strike a
balance and harmony with the environment, the flow of Qi must
be smooth in that area. If there is some sort of blockage of
the flow of Qi, it represents a bad omen and it is recommended
to clear this blockage of Qi as soon as possible.
If you encounter any problems with the flow of Qi, do not worry,
as we will be sharing with you a few methods to improve the flow
of Qi in an area. Water symbolizes wealth and prosperity. Having
a waterfall crystal will help you to ventilate the flow of Qi
in your area. It is also believed to bring you wealth.
Another way to improve the flow of Qi is to hang a bamboo wind
chime near the window. If it happens that negative energy (Sha
Qi) is flowing in from the window, the wind chime will help to
deflect the Sha Qi away.
Now that we know how Qi works, let us now look at how the 5 elements
work.
The 5 key elements
The 5 key elements consist of the earth, wind, water, wood and
metal. Colors and shapes in the surrounding can also represent
the 5 elements. Different colors are believed to emit different
emotions while different shapes of object could affect the flow
of Qi in an area in many different ways. Some of the elements
clash with each other. Examples will be water clashing with fire
and fire clashing with wood.
Knowing how these elements work, here are some tips for you to
avoid the clashes of the elements. The kitchen is the place where
clashes between elements will most likely occur. For example,
your fire stove should not be facing the water basin or refrigerator
directly as a clash between the fire and water elements will
occur.
Also, do not put any machine near the door of the house. When
the machine operates, it will cause the Qi around it to become
hot. As it gets hotter, the Qi will escape away from the house
much faster than desired, causing an irregular flow of Qi in
the house.
The basic of the flow of Qi and the 5 key elements are the facts
on Feng Shui everyone should know. Now that you’ve discovered
these facts on Feng Shui, you can now avoid ignorant mistakes
you made in the past and enjoy better luck from now on. |
