AN INTRODUCTION TO FENG SHUI

Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese Art of Placement, is a 5,000 year old practice used to create balance, harmony, and success energy in an environment. It has been gaining popularity in western, european and asian societies in the last four decades or so and is being employed in both busi­nesses and homes, very successfully.

By closely watching nature and human events over many centuries, the Chinese have observed how life works. From this understanding, Feng Shui has developed. This understanding has led to the development of Positive Sym­bolism - hundreds of Good Luck Symbols, whose shapes, sizes, meanings and other nuances, when activated, lead to creation/amplification of the type of energy that it was in­tended to. These articles are today popularly known as "FengShui Cures" and "FengShui Enhancers".

Positive Symbolism is about knowing and understand­ing the meanings of objects, structures and elements. It means incorporating popular attributes and characteristics of flowers, animals, creatures, birds and objects into the enhancing of one's personal space and environment, thereby attracting good fortune and being protected against misfor­tunes caused by bad Feng Shui or by bad Astrological Peri­ods. Positive Symbolism thus gives flesh and substance to Feng Shui.


Symbolic Feng Shui is very potent. It helps the flow of chi to move elegantly and gracefully, meandering through the rooms of your home/office in a winding fashion, and then, every now and again being strengthened by the pres­ence of Good Luck Symbols. The hidden meanings of Sym­bols give great depth to the energies that surround us. Deco­rative objects that symbolize vibrant Good Luck offers ex­citing new vistas of interpretations that can be very effec­tively applied to the practice of Feng Shui in a modern con­text.

Good Luck Symbols need not be esoteric or tradi­tionally Oriental. As long as the "essence" of the Positive Symbolism is there, the good fortune symbolized will mani­fest in real good fortune. This is another reason why this book explains Good Luck Symbols from other cultures too.

Furthermore, these Cures & Enhancers have to be Energised, so that they can work like they are supposed to. And Energising is a process of two steps : cleansing the product of all negative energies (which invariably enter it, while manufacturing or trading/changing hands) and filling it with positive energy. Also, they should be Blessed, by which process they gain the Heaven Energy to fully solve the very purpose they were created for. Experience says that these articles should not be made of Plastic, Clay or Mud and Paper Mesh.


Another important point is the Placement of these articles. Unless placed in proper directions, they will not yield the desired results. Here, one can go by the general formula directions or better still, go by the customised di­rections based on one's personal Kua Number, which in turn is arrived at, by using Date and Time of Birth (see next page for direction details). Last, but not the least, one should have complete faith in the process and products that one intends to buy.

With all of these products, it is very important that you bring the intention process into play. To get more effec­tiveness out of your Cures/Enhancers, always visualise what the Cure is for. The more you connect your own personal process to the Cure, the more benefits you will derive from it.

Today, growing numbers of people see the wisdom and practicalities of this ancient custom and are warmly embracing it. The basic principles of Feng Shui are as rel­evant to today's world society as it was to the Chinese, thousands of years ago.
