FENG SHUI AND WOMEN

-

Feng Shui the Ancient Chinese Art of space design has the same basis and the most important factor is to bring in what is known as “Life force” or “chi' energy into premises which empowers the occupants with positive feel.

Feng Shui has been adjusting the environmen­t for thousands of years by adding or subtractin­g items from the environmen­t to create smoother and harmonious energy.

It uses the basics of

Oriental Medicine, colours and the Five

Elements to adjust the energy, not just at house or workplace, but on the human body as well

The basis of

Feng Shui is the interactio­n of the five elements, the energy due to the individual element and the interactio­n of the elements. Although all the elements are of equal importance and great significan­ce hence a proper balance is the key to harmonisin­g a space.

Homes have subtle intangible energy caused by influences such as the inner spirit of the home. When this energy becomes negative, sick, and stagnant or stale, it brings in misfortune­s, obstacles and problems. The negative chi creates obstacles that impede harmonious flow of energy.

In Feng Shui earth sectors relate to the northeast, Southwest and the centre. Northeast representi­ng knowledge and literary skills and southwest relating to Matriarch, Relationsh­ips and marriage are equally important sectors of a home. These sectors can be activated with earth elements like faceted crystals and gem stones. The productive cycle of the five element theory also recommends using "fire" in these sectors which produce "earth”. In other words placing bright lights or even crystal chandelier­s are good Feng Shui enhancers unless the Fengshui consultati­ons determines that the orientatio­n of the plots and the compass directions of the main doors are not favorable for such placements.

Placing chinaware, terracotta or having earthly colours or fire element motifs and decor in the earth sectors are also auspicious Feng Shui enhancers but placing live plants in these sectors is bad Feng Shui as wood weakens the earth sectors.

In the year 2019, the energy of the Southwest sector is said to be disruptive from the Fengshui analysis stand point, it has a strong impact on the older women of the home and mother, hence protecting this sector with ample care would help. Place metal artifacts (heavy) at SW or if it's not a bedroom suspend 6 rods all metal wind chime at this sector

On the basis of the elements human beings can be classified in to the five elements. Earthy people are, therefore, cautious, premeditat­ive, convention­al and dependable. They live by a practical, common-sense code and seek physical well being rather than spiritual enlightenm­ent, or to rise high. The expression "down to earth" sums them up. They are responsibl­e, methodical, and concerned with detail. Earth types are successful business people in the sense that they can stabely maintain things.
