Many people are now at least aware with the notion that the study of how we are impacted by both the natural and man-made environments in which we live is what is known as feng shui. There are other topics within Chinese metaphysics that are complimentary to one another and borrow from one another in terms of how we arrange the information and understand it. For instance, in Chinese face reading, we may look at the face as if it were a map, with the chin standing in for the direction north and the forehead standing in for the direction south. If you were to imagine your face as a floor plan, the region of your right cheek would correspond to the east, while the area of your left check would represent the west. According to the principles of feng shui, different sections of the human anatomy are connected to different cardinal directions. The water element is associated with the kidneys, which are located in the north direction. Therefore, according to the principles of chinese face reading, if a person’s chin region seemed to have some kind of issue (either physically or structurally), we may deduce that the individual had a problem with their kidneys or anything linked to water. The art of Chinese facing reading is actually quite intricate. According to this method, every crease and mole on a person’s face can have a hidden meaning, and the placement of these features on the face can indicate when a person will experience a health emergency or another event in their life that is related to their personal relationships or career. When I was in school once, we were learning how to read people’s faces, and I decided to show my instructor a photo of the actor Owen Wilson that I had on my laptop. When I watch Owen Wilson on the big screen, his extremely peculiar nose is nearly enough to take my attention away from what he’s doing. Since master sung is not a great fan of western culture celebrities, he did not realize that owen wilson had been in the news around that time relating a suicide attempt when he saw a photo of him. This is because master sang is not a big fan of western culture celebrities. And despite this, Master Sung was able to deduce from a single glimpse at this cherished actor’s facial reading expertise exactly what was going on in the actor’s emotional life. In chinese palm reading, we can also look at the palm of the hand like a floor plan, where markings in certain directions may yield some vital information about a person that is consistent with some of the theories used in a feng shui analysis. In this way, we can determine whether or not a person is likely to be successful in certain areas of their life. According to the “4 pillars” school of Chinese astrology, every individual is a unique mix of the elements water, wood, fire, earth, and metal, with these elemental pairings being determined by the person’s birth year, month, day, and hour. These components are either mutually beneficial or mutually destructive to one another. When one element predominates over another in feng shui theory, the reductive element is often used to fix the imbalance and the expected real-life issue that results from it. For instance, if the unseen effects of someone’s home include a mix of earth and water that blocks each other, this might lead to issues with the kidneys, the blood, or the circulation. Putting real metal into the region would be the element that would reduce the problem or repair it. If we look at a person’s personal astrological chart, we may determine the nature of the difficulties or obstacles that person may face by determining which “pillar” in the chart is dominated by a cycle. There is a connection between the year of birth and the grandparents. The impact of one’s parents may be seen in their child’s birth month, while the relationship between a person and their spouse can be seen in their birth day. There is a correlation between the time of birth and one’s children and career. It is also possible to understand which parent may have a controlling or damaging connection with the kid based on the symbolic dominance of the components in a person’s parent pillar. This may be done by determining which parent’s element predominates. The yin and yang theory is prevalent across these many systems, in addition to the five element theory and the eight trigram theory, all of which are used throughout each of these systems. The yin and the yang hypothesis investigates the impact of contrasting forces and extreme conditions, such as when a dwelling is either too dim or too light, too dry or too wet, or too large or too little. When it comes to finding a partner with whom we are personally compatible, we often strive for a perfect combination of yin and yang. This is the modern-day equivalent of the phrase “you complete me.” In traditional Chinese medicine, the link between the internal organs as representatives of the elements and the yin and yang traits that define particular health circumstances is taken into consideration. When we look at the metaphorical trigrams linked together into hexagrams in the I Ching, we are looking at some pretty nuanced interpretations of those symbols. The readings may be interpreted in regard to many other elements of our lives, and we can see another presentation of the five-element theory. There is a connection between everything, including the air you breathe, the food you eat, the thoughts that you think, the meditation that you practice, the way that you make money, the house that you live in, and the larger natural environment that surrounds you, and all of these things have an influence not only on the individual, but also on the larger community, country, and continent that one lives on. We are able to make connections between the microcosm and the larger universe that we are familiar with. Additionally, the more one studies Chinese metaphysics, the better one is able to comprehend the symbiotic link that exists between Western science and Eastern spirituality.
