Let’s start with another question: Do you have to believe in Feng Shui in order for it to work?
No, YOU DO NOT.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
Believing in it or not makes no difference. Feng Shui is just a tool enabling us to recognise, choose, use and enjoy a supporting working/living environment and space filled with positive energy.
However, most people think: Can Feng Shui and its effect be scientifically proven?
Let me counter that with another question – How do we scientifically prove anything? Who is it that determines the rules, who says that something is right and something else isn’t?
Haven’t we throughout history witnessed different widely accepted
opinions and evidence being refuted by research, i.e. “scientific” evidence.
Aspirin will help some against headache, but not others. Some will put their faith in Christ and others in the teachings of Buddha. The list goes on and on…
How to prove how much love you have for your wife, children, husband and all your loved ones?
How to scientifically prove that you, for example, believe in yourself? How to prove you have a mind? Can you hold it in your hands?
Quantity of energy cannot be scientifically proven. It can only be felt. We may say we feel it as strong, weak, mild or intense, we may describe it in different ways, but we may not express it in units of measure.
You are the ones who determine whether something is good for you or not. We are all beings with different feelings, reactions and perception of the world surrounding us.
However, there is something we can notice with our physical eyes and perceive with our energy when we listen to the nature.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FENG SHUI AND THE EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY, WE CAN ONLY CLAIM THAT SOME SPACES MAKE US FEEL REALLY GOOD, WHILE OTHER MAKE US FEEL BAD, EVEN TERRIBLE.
Feng Shui is just a supporting tool in this respect. The clearer you are with your goals, the easier it is to apply Feng Shui principles and feel its results.
Let’s say that you manage to synchronise your energy with the energy of the space where you live.
So, you manage to select a favourable location for you house, you decide on how the place is going to look like and how it will be positioned on the land, determine a suitable start date of construction, arrange everything with the contractors and all the members of your household adjust their schedules accordingly. Once completed, living in that house makes you feel good, protected, motivated, happy and fulfilled. You transfer those feelings onto people you come into contact with and pour them into you work as well. Positive vibrations are embedded into your overall attitude towards life and you feel amazing.
Using Feng Shui as a tool, that process can be planned ahead in accordance with your schedule and wishes and be started right at the time when it will bring you long-term positive, favourable and successful energy that will affect all the members of your household and their productivity.
However, if you are not familiar with all of this and you start with the above process unaware that your environment can work against you, you may find yourself having various problems such as a stagnant career or health issues. This makes you feel grumpy and dissatisfied, but you start thinking that it is what it is, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Your bleak and negative disposition is transferred onto you loved ones and colleagues, it is poured into your work and this attitude invades all aspects of your life, making it harder and harder.
However, this is definitely something you can change. Realising that not everything is bad and that you can influence and change your current situation will be the first step towards becoming aware that changes do not come from the outside, but rather from within.
When we start the internal activation process, things will slowly start falling into place just where you need them to be.
I am not claiming Feng Shui is the only right choice and tool for you, but I am trying to address the incorrect claims, comments and general attitude of the Western system which frowns upon this method, showing its ignorance which stems from its lack of capacity and time to look at the bigger picture, and basing its conclusions on superficial information from shady sources.
I am sure you would agree that people who are serious about their profession did not just wake up with that knowledge one day – they studied hard, perfecting themselves in what makes them happy and what they ultimately chose to do.
Until our next topic, I am sending you warm regards. Stay brave and positive! J
Yours, LanChi.
