A bird of happiness exists, and anyone who does not shift responsibility for their present and future into the wrong hands can catch it. But for some reason sometimes the lord of Luck turns his back. Probably everyone wanted to get a magic wand, the wave of which could attract her, instantly solve all problems and remove obstacles from the path. But what if it exists? And is it really in everyone's hands? Such power is Feng Shui.
A bit of theory: Qi energy
For those who are just starting to master this direction, the question will inevitably arise: what is Feng Shui? For a long time this strange art has become popular among our compatriots. To begin with, it is useful to understand what this concept means in China. They will say “wind and water”, and in China they will say “Feng Shui”. The meaning of this phrase is just that. These elements are responsible for the movement and transfer of the life force of Chi, which is responsible for the fate of each person. Chi energy can move, having a beneficial or negative effect on the life of any living creature.
Energy harmonization
Despite the fact that this energy is not tangible, everyone can feel how it works. Using the rules and laws of Feng Shui (what it is, it becomes clearer in the practical use of its rules), you can increase the influence of positive Qi energy. It also allows you to exclude negative Qi energy from life. Thus, Feng Shui allows to bring to harmony all the constituent factors of a single whole in such a way that all existing energy will begin to move in the right direction. All this is done through a special organization of space.
Work with the interior space of the room, which allows you to make it more energetically harmonious, is the answer to the question of what it is - Feng Shui.
The interweaving of science and art
And the effect of this ordering of energies is manifested by an unexpected solution to problems and questions. The money is there, help comes at the right time, suddenly a person is appointed to the desired position. From the outside it seems that a wizard came to the rescue, who miraculously fulfills desires. What is Feng Shui? Is it a science, or is it a form of art? The presence of laws, certain rules and requirements allows us to classify Feng Shui as a science of harmonious life, which, through the knowledge of the surrounding nature, leads to personal success and prosperity.
The ability of each person to supplement ancient knowledge with their own innovations, rightfully allows us to classify the teachings of Feng Shui as art. Thus, science and art intertwined in Feng Shui in an amazing way, in order to fill life with happiness and harmony.
Learning to Define Qi
Everyone has a favorite restaurant, a shopping boutique, a grocery department, even a bank manager, whom a person meets from time to time. On the other side is an angry waiter, a disgruntled seller, an unpleasant consultant. How did it happen that there are places where you want to be, but there are those in which there is a feeling of pumping out energy? All this becomes understandable, it is only worth remembering how they met, how they served, what kind of situation surrounded.
The importance of sensations
Correct feng shui is largely based on personal feelings. If it’s nice to be in the room, it means that the energy in it is harmonized. You can try in this case, take note of those decor elements that are available in this place. It is possible that they will be able to harmonize the practitioner's personal space, since their energy is positive for him. So an assessment of sensations. If there are pleasant and smiling employees around, the room is clean, calm music plays, smiles on their faces, and after the visit it seems that music plays in the shower, in such a place there is a lot of positive Chi energy. Such a restaurant cannot be forgotten, because here they are also served tasty and served at the highest level. A stuffy office, cramped rooms in which nervous consultants sit are saturated with negative energy, in such a place the Qi energy is negative.
Qi in practice
It is clear that it is necessary to attract favorable Qi into the house. What will help to fill the house with positive energy? The main assistants in attracting Qi to the premises:
- bright flowers, both living and artificial;
- “Wind noise” with clear and clear sound;
- fans and air conditioners;
- lighting;
- aquariums and fountains with clean water.
Anyone will agree that the methods are quite affordable and often already existing in every home. Feng Shui and its principles allow you to increase the amount of qi. This is possible even without acquiring new home accessories. Sometimes for improvement it’s enough just to rearrange the flowers or re-hang the picture to a new place. Equally important is the use of paintings in Feng Shui:
- Images of flowers allow you to harmonize relationships. For example, a picture depicting peonies will be appropriate in the conjugal bedroom, as it will allow the husband and wife to enjoy each other more.
- Painting with sunflowers will help get rid of depression.
- The image of the mountains is well suited for the work area.
- The kitchen looks good still lifes, images of fruits.
How to deal with ancient art? Yin Yang symbol to help
Unlike Qi, its two main components, yin and yang, can both be seen and felt. These are two sides of any whole. Night and day, the sun and moon, heat and cold, top and bottom, all are inseparable yin and yang. But their current state depends on the situation in which they are currently. For a more simplified understanding, one can imagine yin-yang in the form of a magnet, which cannot be divided to get a pure “minus” or “plus”. What does this mean in practice?
A couple of man and woman are yang and yin. Everything is simple here. But if you take two men (or women), one of them in relation to each other, will be more yang, and the other more yin. Earth in relation to the moon of the yang, but paired with the sun, the earth is yin. The paradox is that constant change maintains a balance of yin-yang existence. In nature, this equilibrium exists by itself. But the house is fenced off with walls and partitions. Therefore, it is so important to create an atmosphere corresponding to the nature of human activity.
How is this knowledge put into practice? A study with soft light, silence, walls decorated in pastel colors - with a yin atmosphere. Most likely, in such a place, the desire to rest and sleep more often will attend, than to work. On the contrary, a bedroom with bright wallpaper, many mirrors and lamps, where the energy of yang is active, will make the sleep of the household restless and disturbing. Using the principles of yin-yang, the hall and the living room are located closer to the entrance, allowing guests not to wander around the apartment in search of the desired room, and the bedroom is located behind other rooms, creating a relaxed atmosphere for the relaxation of households. Even in a one-room apartment, it would be wise to separate the sleeping place from the working area by installing a screen or a small partition.
Vast Feng Shui: The Symbol of Bagua
In Feng Shui, there are many ways to control and use Chi energy. This is the principle of “Five Elements”, which considers the interaction of various phases of development of objects: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water. The use of a system of eight trigrams, symbolizing the development of life from birth to going into another world. This is the “magic” polygon of Bagua, where these same trigrams are inscribed, and with the help of which, the Chinese described a map of the creation of the world. Eight directions on this symbol mean eight directions of the cardinal points: south, southwest, north, northwest, east, southeast, west, northeast.
According to the Bagua grid, each zone is responsible for success in a specific area:
- financial welfare - southeast;
- glory - south;
- love, relationships - southwest;
- family ties - east;
- health - the center of the room;
- west - children;
- knowledge acquisition - northeast;
- north - career;
- travels - northwest.
Guided by this grid, you can successfully fulfill wishes. Feng Shui involves the use of a certain area of the room for the implementation of specific intentions. For example, if the desire is to improve relations with relatives, special attention should be paid to the eastern sector. It is also useful to write a wish on a piece of paper and hide it in this sector of the room. The freer the Chi energy moves in the room, the faster it will be fulfilled.
Continuing to study the art of Feng Shui, you can learn to change your destiny with the help of various symbols located around us. When examining the environment, an analysis is made of objects located in the house or apartment. A staggering chair can turn from a symbol of reliable support to an unreliable attribute that destroys any effort. It is possible that this is a tribute to the departed relative, but at the same time, such an object forms sad memories, knocking the soil out from under the feet. The surrounding space should be filled with symbols of success and inspiration. This can be a photograph of a car or images of countries suitable for recreation. Such changes make dreams come true.
Furniture Arrangement
For any interior item, including furniture, there is a rule: they should not impede the flow of Chi energy. It is necessary to abandon bulky objects, as they are obstacles.
The following rules also apply:
- Tall furniture is not recommended near windows or doors.
- The Feng Shui bed should be in the western sector of the room, if it is a matrimonial bed or a place for one adult. If this is a crib - in the east.
- Audio equipment is set against the western wall.
- Built-in furniture does not contradict the principles of this teaching. But as for the niches in the walls, they create a danger of negative energy.
- It is desirable to leave the middle of the room free.
Feng Shui helps change the lives of novice lovers of this art, ready for bold experiments. It will be useful for a master who has long studied and practiced the ancient art of Feng Shui and is eager to write his name in the science of harmonious existence, as nature and soul require.
Feng Shui is a unique art. It will help everyone achieve their wishes and goals. The main thing is to follow the rules of this interesting science.
