Generalities on Feng Shui
Feng Shui is not a religion, and it is not magic.
It is not the solution to everything but it allows to live in harmony with our environnement.
Définitions:
Feng means Wind and Shui
means Water: these are the two basic tools of the Feng
Shui practitioner.
We must stop the cosmic energy carried by Wind and capture it
with Water (oceans, rivers, lakes, streams but also ponds,
basins, bowls and fish tanks. . .).
The Cosmic Energy
(the Qi ), is also called Earth
Luck, different from Heaven Luck (which
is the Destiny, readable in the different astrological charts)
and from Man Luck (what we make of our life).
Living in a malefic House may provoke, if we believe old Chinese
masters, one or several catastrophs of the following list:
injuries, fires, accidents, robberies, adulteries, divorces,
illness, bankruptcies.
Even if our astrological chart is auspicious, there are always
periods of weakness where Misfortune may overwhelm us if the
House allows it. . .
On the other hand, if our astrological Chart (our destiny) is bad, we can nevertheless try to live in a harmonious house.
Feng Shui is sometimes translated as "Chinese Geomancy", that is divination thanks to the Earth. It is partly true, since one can forecast the status of a house at a given date and therefore imagine the corresponding climate in which will live its residents.
Finally, the Feng Shui is the Art of Directions: how to find the bad or the good directions, to orient the entry door, the beds, the desk, the eating-table. It is also used for travelling: some experts carefully plan their journey, in function of Time and Space, leaning on the basic data of their astrological chart, of their main residence and of hotels. It's like sailing into an opposite wind.
Feng Shui finally diagnoses the status of a house and proposes possible solutions to improve the situation (cures).
