THE COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WATER AND FENG SHUI

Although there has been a lot of writing done on the topic of water in terms of the affects of feng shui, the general public is still not aware of the precise uses for water. This is due to the fact that the Xuan Kong Flying Star School teaches a great number of theories, all of which must be taught via practical application. In the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, one can get the impression that a water feature, such as a fountain or pond, is always a valuable addition to a piece of land, but in fact this is not always the case. In point of fact, it is possible for someone to install a water feature in a neighborhood without intending to encourage criminal activity or diminish the income potential of the occupants. According to the definitions provided by the Xuan Kong school, each twenty-year period has a location for water that is both best and worst for the interiors and exteriors of the building. In 2004, we entered what will be known as period 8 for the next 20 years. 1984 was the beginning of the era that came before it, known as period 7, and 1964 was the beginning of the era that came before that. There are 9 eras, and each one lasts for 20 years, and then they repeat themselves forever and ever. This is the reason why it is obvious that any statement, whether it be in a book or an article, that claims anything general like “water in the north is nice” is incorrect. It is possible that it is true sometimes for some of the people part of the time, but it is not always true for all of the people all of the time. The question “where to install a pool that will be safe and excellent area for the next thirty plus years?” posed by a potential customer served as the impetus for the writing of this particular essay. We also have water placement calculations in the classical schools that are solely based on the orientation of a home, such as the “castle gate” formulas; but, I would never dismiss aspects that have to do with the age of the house if I were you. Sometimes this eliminates the need for additional location on the property to store water. Some practitioners, who have had very little formal instruction in traditional Feng Shui, are of the opinion that it is desirable to position water in the north sector of a home. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is because the northerly orientation is inextricably linked to bodies of water. However, this just covers a portion of the tale. In the “pre-heaven sequence” of the trigrams, the luo shu, the direction of north is connected with the kun trigram, which is a “earth” trigram as opposed to the kan trigram, which is tied to water. This is in contrast to the fact that the kan trigram represents the direction of water. This oversimplified method of analyzing the symbolism of the trigrams does not even begin to take into account the yearly influences that are at play. For instance, the yearly effect in the northern region in the year 2011 is the visiting 3 star, which is associated with rumors and legal issues. The addition of water to the north in 2011 might make this scenario even worse. In 2012, the very same yearly 3 will be moved to the southwest. As an experienced consultant, I would like the general public to be aware that feng shui has many wonderful things to offer people. However, in the same way that a layperson could cause themselves harm by self-medicating, self-diagnosing, or relying on generalities, they could also be seriously taken down the wrong path by practicing feng shui incorrectly. The birth date of the resident is yet another piece of information that can be pertinent to the situation. Every individual has a certain bearing that, for them, personally, is a poor place for water to come towards their home. This is referred to as a “bad site.” The “yang ren” direction has the potential to inflict damage on the occupants. For instance, a person who was born in the year 1947, 1957, 1967, or 1977 should not have water outside their home pointing in the sheep-wei direction. These years conclude with the number 7. In terms of the course that water takes, this is another issue that is connected to the subject at hand. It’s possible for water to flow either toward or away from a property. The design of an infinity pool creates the optical illusion that water is receding or flowing away from a building. Many standard fountain pumps will just push water up from a lower level, and then the water will cascade down multiple layers. This may not produce the most favorable feng shui, despite the fact that these fountains appear very amazing. This innocuous movement of water moving up and then down is caused by the water ebbing and flowing. You may have heard this or read it somewhere else, but the term “shui” literally means “water.” It is one of the five elements that are considered during a typical Feng Shui analysis to assist in bringing the energy of the surrounding region into a more harmonious balance. For instance, we may put water in the room to assist lessen the discomfort felt in the legs or the back. Water may be used in a different setting to assist with the development of the company. There are various uses of water usage that may aid with the maintenance and improvement of relationships. Therefore, water is a resource that may be exploited in a tactical manner for a wide range of living situations, not just one particular area of concern. It is essential that the water be clean and, preferably, circulate. yin water is water that is peaceful and motionless, and water that is too yin may be harmful to one’s health if it has become stagnant or is unclean. Yang water is water that has a lot of activity, and as long as there is a balance between the water and the surroundings, it should be good as long as the water is not too yang. Water that is out of control may cause storms, tsunamis, and other types of water-related calamities. But even something as simple as having a fountain that emits a loud and unpleasant sound must to be regulated in such a way that it does not have a possibility of eliciting an adverse reaction.
