Feng Shui

Feng Shui has existed for more than 4,000 years. Can
such an ancient philosophy still be relevant today? The answer is yes,
because the Ancient Chinese who first developed it recognized that the
universe is in a constant state of change and so Feng Shui would have to
evolve to keep pace with it. Throughout civilization, humankind has recognized the power and beauty of nature and the universe. All over the world, cultures have believed that spirits dwelled around them in nature, the weather, the flora and fauna-things they could not explain, but intuitively sensed possessed something different and special. Even primitive peoples acknowledged and identified certain places in their surroundings that they recognized as being unique to their senses: a rock, grove, tree, mountain, river, cave, or other natural places that they regarded to be sacred and holy. To the ancient Chinese, that feeling was captured in the philosophy of feng shui, literally, "wind-water." Believing that their departed ancestors were forever connected in spirit with them, families sought to honor them by selecting their optimum final resting places. Male children were desired not only to carry on the family name, but because only they were permitted to clean the graves of departed family members. Even today, many Chinese still associate the practice of feng shui with death and dying. This Chinese environmental art of placement is one of the five components of a person's destiny. First is fate, determined by heaven and over which you have no control or say. It is that which dictates who, when, how, why, and what you are at the moment of your birth. Luck follows after you are born, in the form of pure luck, man-made luck, and heaven luck. Thirdly, is feng shui, or earth luck. Fourth are charity and philanthropy and finally, education, experience, and self development. The three major concepts of feng shui are the flow of
energy, the balance of yin and yang, and the interaction of
the five elements. |
