Feng Shui – The Basic Principles (Part 3)

Jeff — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 07:54:18 +0000

Welcome back to our third entry discussing the basic principles of Feng Shui. Different schools of Feng Shui utilize different methods. Although there are more schools of thought when it comes to Feng Shui, the major players within the field can be categorized into three different schools of thought.

Traditional Feng Shui concentrates mainly on the power of symbols and the shape of the items within the environment. The direction (north, south, east, west) or items within the Traditional Feng Shui school of thought may or may not be a decisive factor when considering recommendations for a more harmonious home.
Black Hat Sect Tantric Buddhist Feng Shui incorporates the ideas of Traditional Feng Shui along with elements borrowed from Buddhism and Taoism. This form of Feng Shui was actually created by a Feng Shui practitioner in modern times and is a popular version that involves several different methods all rolled into one.
Intuitive Feng Shui takes Traditional Feng Shui and then molds it into something that is more easily swallowed by Western society. There is less of the Chinese mysticism and symbols within Intuitive Feng Shui and more of a regard for the decorative and architectural preferences of people living within modern Western society.

The three major branches of Feng Shui all stem from Traditional Feng Shui, butthe differences can be both minor and major.

Feng Shui – The Basic Principles Part 2

Did you know that there is more than one style of Feng Shui? The term Feng Shui encompasses many different forms and styles of what was once practiced in ancient times.

You may find that some Feng Shui specialists and professionals actually have a bone to pick with other forms of Feng Shui, and this can be a little confusing for someone who doesn't know much about the principles beyond the fact that sometimes furniture gets moved around to let energy flow better within the house.

Depending on the books you read and the people you talk to, you may find claims that Feng Shui can accomplish a variety of goals:

You can find a suitable romantic interest.
You can enhance the lives of the residents within your home to include children and pets.
You can improve your health.
You can attract wealth and success.
You can transform an unhappy family into a cohesive unit.
You can achieve a higher status among your peers.

Perhaps these claims are more than you bargained for, or perhaps as you read these you're thinking, "Wow, great, where do I begin?" Just be aware that different schools of Feng Shui claim to do different things, so don't be surprised if one Feng Shui book contradicts another when it comes to the steps you are supposed to take or the results you can expect. You can think of it as similar to a religion by comparing it to something like Christianity. Denominations all fall under the category of Christianity, but the various denominations can have some very different ideas.

Just to be clear, this does not mean that Feng Shui is considered a religion; it's merely to clarify how you will find varying opinions among the many different schools of Feng Shui ideals and practices.

In the coming weeks I will continue with this series on Feng Shui and how it can improve the energy within your home and life in general.

Feng Shui – The Basic Principles Explained (Part 1)

What the heck is "Chi?" You'll hear this term often within Feng Shui, and maybe even see it spelled different ways and pronounced in different ways too. "Chi" basically refers to the energy that occurs naturally within nature.

Ancient Chinese renditions of Feng Shui – and some modern Feng Shui renditions – are an attempt to harness the naturally occurring "Chi" and manipulate it into something beneficial. You may have heard someone claim that something or someone has "Bad Chi" or "Good Chi," and this is a principle that is utilized in Feng Shui.

A good energy flow within a home will result in "Good Chi" and will result in the residents generally being happier and living together more harmoniously. The trick behind Feng Shui is trying to figure out exactly how to manipulate the "Chi" in order to achieve maximum results.

I have found that many people initially find Feng Shui to be very complicated, but once explained it is relatively simple! Over the coming weeks I will continue to explain Feng Shui – The Basic Principles.

All this information will explain the most commonly asked questions by people wanting to improve balance and harmony within every aspect of their life!

Feng Shui Isn’t Just About Decorating! Ebook Explains How

An aspect of Feng Shui is an attempt to control surroundings based on the placement of certain images, lights, and sounds. It's one thing to try to make a room more aesthetically pleasing using Feng Shui principles, but it's another thing to attempt to actually sway the so-called "energy" within a room and have an effect on the feelings of the people who enter. When you wear a rose colored crystal in an attempt to attract a romantic interest you're not only employing Feng Shui principles, but you're also trying to make something happen in a non-traditional way. Instead of cultivating a friendship and flirting with the person, you're hoping that a certain color of a certain stone combined with particular placements as dictated by Feng Shui will lure in your beloved. Obviously, there is much more to Feng Shui than simply where you put your couch or how much light you let into your bedroom. It is an attempt to influence the world around you, and perhaps even to influence certain people in your life as well. You should understand this before you hop in and allow Feng Shui into your life.

Most certainly, it has been proven that YOU can use the principles of Feng Shui in every aspect of your life – without breaking the bank!
