Misunderstandings of Chinese Geomancy
Feng Shui is becoming more prevalent in the West. This can be attributed
to more and more people becoming aware of how their environment affects
them. The health effects of high-tension power lines is but one example
of how people are becoming cognizant of their environment and its relationship
to their health and prosperity. Unfortunately, a lot of hearsay and misunderstanding
as to what Feng Shui truly is has also become commonplace. Some people have
confused Feng Shui with religion and burning charms. Others think that seeking
advice from Feng Shui practitioners contradicts the doctrines of their own
religion. This is a mistaken concept. Chinese
geomancy (or Feng Shui) is not the product of
any religious belief system. Rather, it is based on a set of calculations.
The qualified practitioner examines the four aspects of Building,
Environment, Time, and most importantly,
People. Most books and information widely available only
look at the first two aspects: Building and Environment. This is only a
partial examination. Time and People are two very important components that
should not be omitted. A particular building may have a good environment
and other positive attributes, but for a specific individual, it might require
further examination and corrections to meet their individual goals for that
time in their life and the life of the building.

How does one find a qualified practioner?
The classical Feng Shui consultation involves no guesswork. Every
building has unique energy characteristics that need to be individually
addressed.We say that True Feng Shui recommendations utilize
only the five elements. Just as a qualified physician will
not make a prescription without first meeting the patient, a proper
Feng Shui analysis requires a visit to the property.
Feng Shui looks at not only the environment, but also the orientation
of the property within that environment. Feng Shui is not related
to any religion or belief system. A qualified Practitioner is one
who has studied with a Master for many years and has acquired a scientific
discipline, thus enabling them to apply complex calculations and an
in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of Feng Shui.
Only then are they able to make very specific recommendations
that can effect positive changes in one's lifestyle, relationships
and financial returns. Properly performed, Feng Shui can bring balance,
harmony and prosperity to one's life. <warning> There
is a lot of fake practioner out there, so please make sure to do a
lot of research before picking one.
The Future of Feng Shui
Feng Shui is very old and comes from the ancient Chinese culture. As we
move into the 21st century the use of feng shui in the modern world is astounding
and widespread. More and more people who would not even consider feng shui,
because of its mystical or superstitious aspects, are now applying it in
their homes or office with outstanding results. One of the reasons for this
modern acceptance is that feng shui is not just something for the Asian
mind, but its application is fundamental to all peoples well being. In essence
you do not have to be Chinese to incorporate feng shui into modern life
style. All feng shui does is allows energy to flow in a productive and harmonious
way.
We will continue to see feng shui written about in magazines, newspapers,
exposes on TV and radio. As feng shui awareness grows people are going to
realize they are going to be left out if they don’t start applying feng
shui in their lives. CEOs will realize if their desk is not in the most
powerful position they could be left behind in their business. Housewives
will realize by moving their beds they can enhance their marriages. City
planners will realize that can create better traffic control and lower crime
rates by using feng shui. Anybody from any walk of life will realize that
his or her life will be improved by the use of feng shui. Don’t let modern
life pass you by, use feng shui for optimum results.
