Harmonious Homes
Feng Shui

Feng Shui, Yin and Yang, chi Feng Shui (pronounced "fung shway") is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. The literal translation is "wind and water".

Feng Shui involves the use of geographical, psychological, philosophical, mathematical, aesthetic, and astrological concepts in relation to space and energy flow. It is not simply a decorating style, but a discipline with guidelines compatible with many different techniques of architectural planning.

Qi, the energy of the universe, is carried in the wind and retained within water. Both elements were used as a way of directing Qi, thus giving Feng Shui its name. Wind is said to carry energy or Qi and therefore represents the principle of change and transformation in nature. Water is said to hold energy and therefore represents the principle of stability. When applied to human affairs, wind is also representative of action, fervour, and enthusiasm, whereas water is representative of internal strength, meditative qualities, and psychological power.

An individual is usually not described as having bad or incorrect Feng Shui, but since the practice is linked to Qi, a person’s energy can either deplete or add to the energy of his or her surroundings. The space can also affect the individual, especially in matters of luck, health, and prosperity.

Yin and Yang

Fundamental to Feng Shui is the idea that two basic principles underlie all matter and energy in the universe, namely yin and yang. These forces are opposites, but are not in opposition. Rather they are complementary and need each other to exist and flourish. The constantly changing interactions of yin and yang give rise to the infinite variety of patterns in life.

The following table outlines the basic nature of each principle:

Yin Yang Yin Yang
North South Winter Summer
Earth Heaven Matter Spirit
Female Male Negative Positive
Dark Light Night Day
Cold Heat Wet Dry
Down Up Low High
Inner Outer Decaying Flourishing
Passive Active Receptive Creative
Soft Hard Weak Powerful
Retiring Advancing Lingering Hasty


Guidelines


Internal:

  • When sitting at a desk, the entrance door should be in a clear line of sight, and you should have a view of as much of the room as possible.
  • Straight lines and sharp corners are to be avoided, and should not point where people tend to sit, stand, or sleep.
  • Avoid clutter.
  • Keep tops of tables simple. Avoid over decorating tables with objects and clutter. Those objects represent piles of stress and bad luck you could/will be carrying.
  • You should be able to sit at a table and have an open view in front of you.
  • Your stairs should never face the front door.
  • Some objects are believed to have the power of redirecting, reflecting, or shifting energy in a space. These include mirrors, crystals, wind chimes, and pools of flowing or standing water.


External:


  • Roads to and from ancient towns were often curved and windy, an attempt to disorient and keep away evil spirits, who were believed to travel in straight lines.
  • Avoid building houses in front of cemeteries, hospitals and mortuaries.
  • Most auspicious spaces for homes are lots located in streets shaped like a horseshoe.
  • In choosing homes in rural areas, with hills and mountains, pick the one that is on a sloping hill.
  • In choosing homes in urban area, its best to go for the ones that are on a flat terrain.
  • Square-shaped lots are optimal for chi flow.
