IDENTIFYING AND DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN THE VARIOUS FENG SHUI SCHOOLS
Just during the last twenty years or so, or thereabouts, prospective students of Feng Shui have come across schools that define themselves as “traditional” or “classical,” as opposed to some other schools, such as “western feng shui” or other creative designations. And some of these misunderstandings give the impression that if you do not study the “modernized” forms of feng shui, you would be unable to recognize and apply the ancient lessons to contemporary situations in the same way that someone who does study these “modernized” versions might. As long as the consultant has sufficient training in the conventional approach, this could not be farther from the truth. Nothing could be further from the truth. And here is the hilarious twist: many so-called contemporary institutions do not teach their pupils the deeper and more correct techniques to diagnose a structure, whether it be a home, a building, or a natural environment. In contrast, the traditional or classical schools of feng shui are so intricate, deep, and subtle, that they genuinely may make the claim that feng shui is both a natural science and a metaphysical practice. This is because these schools have been around for centuries. And yet, it is precisely this degree of study that has proven to be intimidating enough to discourage the vast majority of feng shui practitioners from pursuing an education in the real McCoy. Because of this, the other school of thought commonly refers to itself as “Chinese Feng Shui.” This is because they wish to be associated with the genuine beginnings of the practice of feng shui. And despite this, it is important to investigate the background of any potential consultant, since some so-called “Chinese” practitioners utilize the name “Chinese” for marketing reasons, even if they provide nothing more than a collection of unsubstantiated superstitions. Another term that was not used twenty years ago (because it seemed too technical) is “xuan kong flying star” school. This is because using this term lets customers know that the practitioner uses a compass and takes into account the shifting influences of time, both of which are essential to an accurate analysis. This odd method of consolidating knowledge may also be seen in other esoteric techniques, such as yoga. My practice of kundalini yoga, which is not an old art form but rather a style that was developed by one guy and introduced to the United States in 1969, lasted for many years. Kundalini yoga is not an ancient art form but rather a style that was developed by one man and patented by him. This kind of yoga incorporates aspects of classic hatha yoga postures, pranayama yoga breathing methods, and raja yoga and mantra yoga meditation focus points. Some of the traditional hatha yoga postures are also included in this form of yoga. Forty years forward, individuals are now combining yoga with many other types of physical activity and martial arts, and they are coming up with creative new titles for these hybrid practices, such as “power yoga.” It is true that there was no such thing as a garage for people to store their cars in during earlier eras. It is true that a thousand years ago a master of Feng Shui would not have been able to advise an internet firm or any other technological organization on how to set up their headquarters in the most effective manner. However, the yin-yang theory boils down to the mathematics of zeros and ones and the dna that makes up our existence; hence, these traditional concepts are just as relevant to any current setting, wherever in the world, as they were hundreds or thousands of years ago. In point of fact, it is now much simpler to employ those classic approaches in an even more precise manner as a direct result of technological advancements. Over the years, I have heard really pitiful excuses for a practitioner not using a compass or preferring a westernized adaptation of feng shui that can be learned in an afternoon, as if it were superior or more relevant to our current times. One of the most common excuses that I have heard is that the practitioner does not have the time to learn the traditional method. When individuals, however, make the decision to educate themselves in the classical stuff, they are always amazed by it and they welcome it since it is so much more correct. They virtually never revert to the new age’s more straightforward practices since it would be impossible for them to do so with maintaining a clean conscience. Traditional feng shui is followed by kartar diamond, and this style of the art incorporates both the form school and the xuan kong fei xing school of the flying stars. Since 1992, Kartar has worked as a consultant, during which time he has assisted hundreds of customers with their residential and commercial real estate needs.

THE PRACTICES OF FENG SHUI WITH WIND CHIMES
Wind chimes, in addition to being a lovely addition to any garden, have a long history of application as genuine Feng Shui cures for a variety of problems. In addition to that, there is one scenario in which its use is categorically inappropriate. Wind chimes or bell strands are two examples of moving metal remedies that can be used to disperse negative energy when it is of a particular earth “sha.” The Chinese character “sha” may be translated as “dangerous energy.” Within the framework of the cycle of the five elements, the earth seeks to either nourish or transform into metal; consequently, the metal chime is in a position to either absorb the destructive energy of the earth or transform it. When I say “earth,” I’m not talking about our home planet; rather, I’m referring to a less literal “earth phase” that defines some magnetic fields based on research conducted by the Flying Star School. How can we determine when this negative energy will occur or where it will be located? The domain of the xuan kong feng shui practitioner is the ability to understand the appropriate location for a wind chime, whether it be indoors or outdoors. It is necessary to determine the time period during which the specified home or structure was constructed, and one must also take into account the orientation of the compass. A pendulum clock that has a brass element that swings back and forth is one more contemporary alternative to the wind chime. Even a piano, because of the metal strings, can be used as a moving metal remedy in situations where wind chimes have been suggested. It’s possible that there is an unspoken feng shui component behind the nearly universal spiritual practice of ringing bells in churches and banging gongs in temples. According to feng shui theory, these activities all have the same effect. When there is a demolition or construction going on in direct alignment with your property, which can become quite crucial in certain directions during certain years, another time to hang a six-rod metal wind chime from a roof overhang is when the wind chime will be quite important in those directions. For instance, in the year of the rabbit, the direction that is directly east and the direction that is directly west are both directions that can both be very accident-prone. A wind chime that has been strategically placed can help to stop the potentially dangerous vibrations that are coming from these directions directly toward a structure. In the year of the dragon, the dragon direction of the southeast and the opposing dog direction of the northwest will be two important directions to bolster with a wind chime. This is true if your home is in that alignment with someone else’s construction or especially one that cannot be rescheduled on your own property. If your home is in that alignment, you should hang a wind chime in the dragon direction of the southeast. In my capacity as a practitioner, I have made visits to clients’ homes and places of business where there was, in fact, a construction project underway that was misaligned with their property. The unfortunate events that were to be anticipated had taken place, and my recommendation was to hang the wind chime in the appropriate location. After the solution was implemented, ongoing issues that had been plaguing either the construction project or the owner’s health would begin to improve or be resolved. Although taking action after the fact is preferable to taking no action at all, the optimal time to take action is prior to the start of a construction project. There is, however, one situation in which hanging a metal wind chime with six rods could be problematic, and even many people who practice feng shui are unaware of this fact. One must have experience with the Xuan Kong school in order to determine whether or not a piece of real estate possesses a specific combination known as the 2-5 stars. This particular variety of energy field is located in a portion of some homes, but not all homes have it. The year of construction, in conjunction with the house’s orientation, is the only way that it is possible to identify which homes have access to this energy field. For instance, a house that faces southwest and was constructed anytime between 1944 and 1963 is an example of the type of home that has this particular energy field. In addition, a house that faces the northeast and was constructed anytime between 1964 and 1983 has this particular energy field, which has the 2-5 energy pattern. These numbers are simply an abbreviation for a specific kind of energy field, and there is nothing there that can be recognized in its visual form. It is taken into account in the calculations. When a metal wind chime with six rods is hung in either the 2-5 or 5-2 location of a home, it has the potential to beckon a ghost or the spirit of a deceased loved one. This has been confirmed to me by a number of customers, and I have also personally encountered this phenomenon on multiple occasions. There are numerous additional scenarios in which well-known feng shui cures should not be positioned arbitrarily or just about anywhere in the hope of attracting favorable outcomes. When something that could be very powerful is placed in the wrong location, there is a chance that it will result in a backlash. consulting with a highly trained and experienced practitioner is recommended. kartar diamond is a classically trained practitioner, in business full time since 1992. for more information regarding kartar’s credentials and the services she offers, go to www.fengshuisolutions.net kartar is the author of feng shui for skeptics, the feng shui matrix, the feng shui continuum, as well as six ebooks and she offers those who want to study on line a mentoring program called the feng shui case study club.
TINY HOUSES AND THE ART OF FENG SHUI
If you haven’t heard the term “tiny house” before, you can correctly assume that it describes a very small house. However, there is a movement now to build and live in tiny houses by people who don’t necessarily need to. If you haven’t heard the term “tiny house” before, you can correctly assume that it describes a very small house. Many people just prefer to live in a small home for a variety of reasons, including those related to the environment and even to one’s spirituality, including the desire to limit one’s carbon footprint and to live without as many material possessions. If you do a search on the internet for “tiny homes,” you will see images of structures that resemble wood sheds, mini-mansions, little hobbit huts, and just about every other architectural style condensed into a smaller footprint. There are some microhouses that are constructed directly into the ground, while others are on wheels and seem like little more than glorified campers. Concerns about the state of the global economy have given rise to the notion that the microhome may soon emerge as the housing option of choice for those who are unable to afford bigger homes and the associated energy costs. The proportions of a small home may range from less than 100 square feet to more than 800 square feet, which means that the definition of a tiny house is quite vague. There are many individuals who do not consider a home with 800 square feet to be a little house since that size may be found in many apartments and even some conventional houses. However, I believe the difference may be related to the number of people who really reside there. During the time that I taught feng shui, I always stressed the need of giving each student their own space of at least 600 square feet. I did not want to be that exact. However, people often wonder, in light of yin-yang philosophy, if a home may have too tiny or too huge of a footprint. Qi flow is one of the factors that should be considered when determining whether or not a house has excellent feng shui. Whether a home is huge or tiny, if it is disorganized or overstuffed with furniture, there may not be enough open space for the qi to circulate properly (air currents). The health of the people living in a home might be negatively impacted when there is insufficient room for the house’s energy to flow freely. I’ve been in cramped quarters that were immaculately clean, as well as vast mansions that were a disorganized mess. Both of these extremes exist in my experience. With feng shui theory and applications, we are trying to achieve a balance of size in relation to the number of occupants, but it also matters how they furnish that living space, and even to some extent, how much entertaining they do or if they have pets. This is because feng shui is a Chinese philosophical system that emphasizes harmonious coexistence among all living things. Another challenge that comes with designing a compact home is the need to put some spaces to use serving several functions. There are various floor designs for small houses that incorporate bunk beds placed over a living area or above a kitchenette. Activities associated with yin and yang are conducted in the same location, much like a studio apartment. Even while this isn’t the end of the world, it’s not ideal for individuals to have to sleep in the same room where they have to do business. The fact that so many individuals now work from home creates a potential conflict of interest if all of their workplace space is confined to 100 square feet. In xuan kong feng shui, the energies may be interpreted in a variety of ways, and numerous alterations might be prescribed, sometimes depending on how the area is really being used. This may be somewhat more difficult to do when the same room is used for sleeping, eating, studying, or conducting business in addition to being utilized for personal interactions. I believe that a happy medium for the tiny home is to live in a small house community, which is similar to an ashram community or any other kind of communal living. In this type of community, a group of people who own tiny houses may also share certain common places. It is also helpful if the small home is situated on a somewhat large piece of land, as this allows residents to take pleasure in the surrounding natural environment without making them feel as if they are confined in any kind. feng shui for skeptics: genuine answers without superstition is one of the books written by kartar diamond, who is also the author of the feng shui matrix: another method to inherit the earth and the feng shui continuum: a roadmap for balanced existence.

A NATURAL APPROACH TO FENG SHUI IN A MAN-MADE WORLD
This is the first time that I have associated the term “organic” with my field of expertise; yet, I am having a revelation regarding the manner in which the contemporary day feng shui practitioner conducts their evaluations and applications of the practice. It is essential for students of traditional Xuan Kong flying star schools to comprehend and make use of the five-element theory. Water, wood, fire, earth, and metal are the foundational categories for the five elements, which are also frequently referred to as the five phases or transformations (due to the fact that they are in a state of relative flux rather than being static). These components may materialize in a variety of ways, and they are capable of taking on meanings that are quite ethereal. Nevertheless, for the sake of this post, I’d want to focus on the more physical representations of these aspects that may be found in nature as well as when we recreate them in the interior of someone’s house or place of business. For instance, the effect of the earth element may be naturally happening on the property of another person, such as in the shape of a hill, stones in the terrain, or a brick wall. The earth element may be represented in the home by features such as a stone facade on the fireplace or granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom. Through the use of a clay or ceramic art piece, you are able to reintroduce the element into a space that has previously been devoid of it. When I consider these components as natural materials or chemicals found in our environment, I can’t help but question how much qi, or life force energy, they are still transmitting, considering the quantity of pollution that exists in our globe at the present time. Let’s face it: not only is the air contaminated, but the soil and plant life on it have been decimated as well. Is there any evidence that the potency of any of the elements has been diminished by any significant amount as a result of pollution or any other introduction of chemicals? Not only that, but the cycles of our seasons and climates are becoming more unpredictable, which may also throw off the natural order of the elements as they are found in the world. If a certain flower, which typically blooms in April, suddenly has an unpredictable schedule because of global warming or anything else that is off kilter, then we have no choice but to conclude that this will have a knock-on impact on us as people. It’s possible that this is on par with the loss of bees, which is having a huge impact on our ability to provide food for ourselves and our communities. There is a worrying trend that is continuing, which is that boys and girls are entering puberty at an earlier age. This is in part due to the hormones that are absorbed in factory-farmed beef. Therefore, as practitioners of Feng Shui, when we designate specific components as “remedies” or make alterations to a particular area for a certain cause, are the elements that we are dealing with considered to be “organic?” I ask this question in the context of determining whether or not the elements still resonate with the same amount of energy as they did a thousand years ago. Can we anticipate the same conclusion, or should we prepare for something less powerful? Will the end outcome have some kind of mutant consequence that we won’t even be able to recognize? Does the frequency of the water in our fountain (small tai ji) or the water in the ocean (large tai ji) have the same frequency as water that was purer many years ago? I am well aware that my customers have lofty goals in mind for what a Feng Shui consultation might do for them, particularly in the event that they implement each and every one of the consultant’s suggestions. However, I can’t help but think about the state of the raw resources that we’re using to aid people. Are they in good enough shape? Because of the lack of essential nutrients in our meals, many people have started taking additional vitamins and supplements. Perhaps the quantity or dose of elements that we suggest should also take into consideration the fact that these substances are now in a depleted state. One area that may be connected to this is the fact that we live in an environment that is filled with so many man-made materials, which may obstruct the normally permeable connection that exists between the human aura and natural components. If we want the raw organic materials to make us stronger or more balanced, what may be getting in the way of achieving that goal? and is there a possibility that it is connected in any way to the synthetic fibers and materials that we surround ourselves with? It is recommended, under the macrobiotic way of life, that individuals not only consume natural food but also dress in clothes made entirely of natural materials. Can we then, at some point in the future, talk about whether or not a house has “good” feng shui based on the percentage of raw materials versus synthetic materials used for the structure, the contents contained within, the pesticides used to maintain the landscape, and even the interior cleaning solvents used? Even though this has become a sound bite or a cliché, the actual repercussions are there when the “harmony” has been disrupted. Feng shui is about living in harmony with nature, and even though this has become a sound bite or a cliché, the real ramifications are there. Traditional feng shui, especially the xuan kong fei xing school, is used by kartar diamond in its business processes.

IS POOR FENG SHUI INFECTIOUS TO OTHERS?
When I was working with a client, she voiced anxiety about the home she was buying since the adult granddaughter of the seller had passed away, although not on the property. Is it feasible for the negative feng shui of one person’s home to affect other members of the same family, even if they do not reside there? Given that the xuan kong flying star technique may provide many additional forecasts just like that, this is an example of a situation that has a good chance of occurring. If we are able to pinpoint the circumstances in which a person can have a particular issue, there is always the possibility that it might also impact someone who does not reside in the home. For instance, if the feng shui of your home shows that there is a risk of automobile accidents and you are involved in an accident while driving with your aunt — even if she does not live with you — it would look as though your aunt has been directly impacted by your feng shui. The effect of the home, on the other hand, is almost always only felt directly by the people who live there. I would also be prepared to wager money that when two individuals have a similar destiny, each of their residences have suggested that it would be thus in some way. This is something that I believe to be true. I recall having a conversation with a friend who is an astrologer about what she felt about the roughly 3,000 individuals who died at the same time in the World Trade Centers in New York City on September 11, 2001. She saddened herself by admitting that it was likely that all of them had personal charts showing a short life span or having some calamity in their chart similar to that. Another subject that is connected to this topic is how the events that take place outside the home influence us as residents. To return to the example of the vehicle accident, if your residence contains anything that can cause you to suffer any kind of harm, it is not need to be on the property itself. You are able to carry the qi with you wherever you go because you are able to absorb it from the dwelling. This is analogous to eating breakfast and then spending the rest of the morning digesting it while going about your daily activities. What was begun at home may be carried out in any location. If your house or place of business gives the impression that you may have legal issues, then this situation may play out with individuals who scarcely know you at all, much alone being a family, friend, or someone who lives with you. Notwithstanding this, the connections (or karma, if you prefer) remain always present. How could it be any other way if we undertake specific litigation remedies on behalf of the plaintiff or defendant and an apparently unconnected judge or jury determines the final judgment in the case? There are an infinite number of additional instances of how a full neighborhood or block on a street could encounter some destiny or obstacles that are similar, and this can also be found using the compass and form school theories. On the other hand, one’s good fortune may also be inadvertently infectious to others around them. If the proprietor of a business has excellent feng shui and is successful, then it stands to reason that his workers and stock holders would also enjoy some level of financial success. The subfield of Feng Shui known as yin house (divination of grave sites) takes the concept that we are all profoundly related to one another one giant step further. According to this school of thought, the burial site of your parents or grandparents can have an effect on your descendants for up to three generations into the future. This stems from the long-standing notion that the soil below may communicate via the bones put to rest some highly distinct energy code that impacts the descendants. This concept has been kept for a very long time. If a bee can travel many miles for food, smelling a honey comb from such a long distance, and a dog can find its way to travel one hundred miles home with its “dog-to-owner radar,” then I don’t think it is too far-fetched to consider the implications put forth in feng shui theory. In fact, I think it is not too far-fetched to consider the implications put forth in feng shui theory. I could easily spend the rest of my life contemplating the nuances and complexities that are shown by nature in its natural state.

THE IMPORTANCE OF FENG SHUI IN CONTRAST TO THE ROLE OF A DESIGN CONSULTATION
Because of the excellent job that the media, practitioners with inadequate training, and writers have done of misinterpreting feng shui, many customers wind up being entirely bewildered about why they have engaged a feng shui consultant in the first place. I have been in situations like this before, and so have my colleagues. We’ll be sitting with a client, trying to explain the cosmic importance of their surrounds, and all the customer wants to know is what color curtains they should hang in their living room. As the level of mutual aggravation rises, the customer admits that they are on the brink of redecorating or renovating their house and that they just wanted some feng shui advise prior to taking any action in that direction. Conversely, in certain instances, they may employ someone who works in my industry as a means of “low-cost” interior design. This is not to suggest that we do not provide guidance on matters such as color scheme, design, the arrangement of furnishings, and gardening. Absolutely, that is the case. However, we do this for a very different set of reasons than designers do. We are concerned with the movement of qi, as well as issues pertaining to energy and wellness. Alternatively, we may provide guidance on how to control the energy in a particular area to attract greater financial success. In this case, the use of interior décor objects for the power they release (such as a fountain) might merely be a means to an end. Even while this may seem ridiculous to someone who isn’t in the know, a lot of what we recommend to customers is done so with the intention of keeping the peace in the family and maintaining healthy connections. There are also certain modifications that are performed that are hardly visible or detectable in a space, yet despite this, they may nevertheless have a significant influence on the environment. As if feng shui were merely an unusual kind of interior design, I have been requested on several occasions by magazine writers or television producers to give “before” and “after” images. Imagine the attitude of an extreme house renovation. In both the practice and the theory of feng shui, we are naturally concerned with aesthetics as well. Nobody should be forced to live or work in an atmosphere that is simply unsightly, in disrepair, or dysfunctional, especially if it is any combination of these things. Here is where we find that we are on equal footing with the designers. We are aware that if a person has a subjective discontent with their own home or work place, that displeasure will ultimately trickle down into an objective health concern for them. This is because a consistently unfavorable condition may have an effect on the immune system. In spite of this, the Xuan Kong Flying Star School has to do a better job of teaching the general public on what our objectives and aims are, which is different from providing design consultation services. I’ve mentioned this fact in the past, but it bears repeating: I’ve been on tours of houses that were not only beautiful from an architectural standpoint but also won awards. However, the fundamental qi of the home was still the source of a wide range of issues for the people living there, including issues with their health, their relationships, and their income. Because a significant amount of the information that is disclosed on this level has to be computed depending on when the building was constructed and its exact compass alignment, an untrained eye is unable to even identify the existence of these issues. Qi is a vital force, although it cannot be seen by the human eye. In contrast, one of the best choices a person who owns a company or a house can make is to consult with a feng shui professional before beginning any major renovations or landscaping projects. At this point, the customer has realized that the recommendations supplied will cover a lot more ground than just how something looks. The customer may already be aware of the significance of this, particularly if they have previously collaborated with a feng shui practitioner on a project. Boundaries and guidelines should be established for the designer or architect. For example, a customer may have a strong desire for a significant color change in some areas of the building, despite the fact that they are aware that this may have an impact on the health and well-being of all the residents. The customer may also have the intuition that opening up a room in order to make it larger may cause the positive qi in the space to drain, which is why they should consult with their feng shui consultant before making the change. Because certain directions and times combined might create an area particularly accident-prone, such projects should be postponed or planned with a lot of care, and the optimal timing for a demolition or building is also the province of a practitioner who has been classically educated. In conclusion, while doing a traditional feng shui analysis, our goal is to determine how the inhabitants are being impacted by their immediate surroundings, in all significant aspects of life. This is done so that we may make appropriate adjustments. After that, we use physical methods either to improve the regions that have been identified as having deficiencies or to develop further regions that are already considered to be successful. We make an effort to optimize individual compatibility with the space because we recognize that every person has their own particular best directions and that everyone has a different connection with the space that is contingent on factors such as their age, gender, marital situation, and employment. It is quite remarkable that we are able to bring about change in those spheres, despite the constraints imposed by physical things, whether they are of a natural or a man-made origin. Kartar Diamond has been working as a professional consultant with
HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR STRONGEST INDIVIDUAL FENG SHUI DIRECTIONS
Should you turn your back on your greatest personal directions or should you confront those best personal directions? Should you sleep with your head pointing to one of your preferred directions, or should you sleep with your feet pointing in that direction? When first hearing about the eight mansion school, also known as the east-west school, many individuals have these questions running through their heads. Everyone is born with a set of preferred directions that are determined by their gender and the year of their birth. This sub-division of feng shui considers not only the activities that take place inside a space but also the people who occupy that area. Notwithstanding that, you have more than one viable path to go. You may travel in any one of these eight ways, but only four of them will assist you. A guy who was born in 1966, for instance, has a west personality type, whereas a man who was born in 1964 has an east personality type. The directions west, southwest, northwest, and northeast make up the westerly directions. The directions east, southeast, south, and north make up the easterly directions. The qualities of a direction that are said to be beneficial for you vary from having a strong potential for creating energy and bringing success to having a calming or soothing effect. The aspects of your “personal trigram” that are seen as unfavorable might make you more likely to be involved in an accident, more likely to get into an argument, more likely to get into legal trouble, and more likely to suffer financial loss. Once you have determined which of your instructions are excellent and which are poor, you may put that knowledge to use in a variety of settings, including the following: • when you sleep, lie down on top of your head with your head facing one of your favorable directions. • if you are attempting to study or focus when you are alone yourself, sit with your back to one of the directions that helps you the most. • When you are engaging with other people in a professional setting, such as a business partnership, teaching, lecturing, consulting, or negotiating, face one of your excellent directions. • Use one of your strong directional sectors to enter a building, such as a home or business. These are only few instances among many more. It is predicated on the idea that the facing side of your body, similar to how the side of a home that faces the street is the more “yang” side of the building. The rear of a person’s body, like the sitting side of a home, is considered to be more “yin.” •you even have the option of selecting a residence that corresponds to your status as either a “west type” or a “east type” individual, depending on which description best fits you. • You are able to place a desk in a directional sector of a room that is conducive to your own trigram if you so want. You need to make use of a real compass in order to figure out where these genuine directions are, all of which are related to the center of a floor plan. And rather than using actual north as a point of reference, we do it in feng shui, we utilize magnetic north. Depending on where you are in the globe, this might result in a difference that ranges from negligible to large. To put it another way, it’s possible that what you see on a map and what your compass shows you won’t be a perfect match at all. You may give yourself a lift by following the course of action that you favor. It may make itself known in your personal life or it may provide you an advantage in the workplace. When they follow their best compass directions, a lot of individuals say they get better sleep and feel less anxious as a result. The payoff for making these minor adjustments to how you position yourself at work and at home may include, among other things, success in business as well as the perception of being more trustworthy and pleasant by others. This, however, does not apply to decisions about bigger geographic regions, such as where part of the nation one should dwell in. To put it another way, a person who is considered to have a “east type” is not always destined to reside on the east coast.

SHEN QI AND SHA QI ARE BOTH TERMS USED IN FENG SHUI.
“qi” is the word that is shared by both the phrases “shen qi” and “sha qi.” This term may also be transcribed as “ch’i,” and it is pronounced similarly to “chee.” We discover in more in-depth studies of Chinese metaphysics that qi is beyond the idea of “energy,” or we can say that energy is merely one sort of qi. Despite the fact that qi is often referred to as “energy,” qi is more than that. For the sake of this piece, we’ll pretend that qi is a kind of life force energy that can be subjectively classified so that we may better understand the many ways in which it might present itself. The concept of “shen” refers to influences or energies that are beneficial to one’s life. The word “sha” refers to an influence that has the potential to be destructive or undermining. When using feng shui, it is common practice to work toward the reduction of sha qi and the enhancement of shen qi. This might be the deciding factor in whether or not one enjoys good health and happiness. Moreover, it should go without saying that many of these differences are grounded in common sense. As an example, we may think of a house as providing a sense of shen qi for its inhabitants if it has a healthy balance of light, is surrounded by verdant terrain, and has no distracting features in the immediate area. Shen qi may come from a source as simple as drinking pure water. However, unclean water that has been standing for a long time, such as in a swamp, might be a source of sha qi. Living too near to a highway exposes residents to a greater risk of experiencing sha qi because of the increased exposure to noise and pollution. Even yet, the ideas of shen and sha qi are open to interpretation and are prone to change. We consider the occurrence of an earthquake as a bad event in direct proportion to the amount of damage or harm that it causes to human beings and structures when it takes place. Notwithstanding this, a quake is nothing more than a natural occurrence. We can no more accurately refer to it as sha qi than we can accurately refer to a rainstorm as a “bad omen.” To illustrate how subjective a situation may be, there is a proverb that goes, “one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor.” This statement comes from the realm of human experiences. It is possible that someone’s house has sha qi if their feng shui analysis shows that their home might be a source of contention or a power struggle. However, if an energy like to that of self-defense or anger were to exist in a martial arts studio, it may encourage more people to sign up for classes at the dojo. In other words, we are able to evaluate how suitable the situation is for what we are doing. The differences between shen qi and sha qi might extend beyond the traditional confines of feng shui. The phrase “mouth sha” is an example of a slang term that conveys the idea that the words that come out of someone’s mouth may be harmful or insulting, such as in the case of gossip or unwarranted criticism. Everyone here has to pay attention to their own qi and how they are reacting to the world around them. There are certain individuals who will not go to a movie if they are aware that the narrative would either make them feel depressed or scared. In a more general sense, we may say that sha qi leads to stress on all three levels (the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual). We have the ability and the responsibility to seek out shen qi or to make modifications to our way of life, our homes, and our diets in order to increase the amount of “positive energy” in and around us. Because of this, our stress levels will decrease. kartar diamond is the proprietor of feng shui solutions and a consultant who has been educated in the traditional methods.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE YIN HOUSE FENG SHUI?
Many people have a passing familiarity with the yin-yang symbol and some of its attributes, such as the fact that the darker side of the symbol, which is associated with the feminine principle, is opposed to the lighter side of the symbol, which is associated with the masculine principle. This familiarity stems from popular culture. There is an investigation into the many ways in which yin and yang are manifested in our lives and the environments we are surrounded by in practically every school of Feng Shui. There is a lot of overlap in the observations and conclusions that can be drawn from the yin and yang principle that is found across all of Chinese philosophy and Chinese medicine. Yin refers to an energy that predominates in environments that are characterized by characteristics such as being dark, wet, quiet, chilly, and calm. We may also draw parallels between yang characteristics and environments that are very bright, very dry, very loud, and very hot. In order to achieve environmental harmony, one of the primary objectives is to ensure that the areas in the environment are neither too yin or yang. It is possible to deduce, using reasoning, that a “yin home” is a house that has an excessive amount of yin characteristics. despite this, the word “yin home” refers to a certain school of Feng Shui that focuses only on the most yin setting of all, which is burial sites. This is an equally age-old technique in the field of feng shui as the concept of the “yang home,” which is concerned with areas designated for dwelling. A practitioner cannot even begin to understand the implications of a grave site (on up to three generations of descendants) unless they have a working knowledge of classical feng shui. yin house has its own set of rules and guidelines for diagnosing a grave site, and a practitioner cannot even begin to understand the implications of a grave site. At a bare minimum, this refers to Xuan Kong and Form School. When a corpse is interred, a yin house is formed that may have an impact on the health, well-being, and fortune of the departed person’s children, grandkids, and even great-grandchildren. This occurs depending on the direction of the grave as well as the timing of the interment. The transfer of energy will take place from a parent to a kid, and not from one sibling to another or from one spouse to another. There is the potential for an indirect impact since the yin house of your spouse will, of course, have an effect on any offspring that the two of you share. According to the yin house theory, energy may be sent from the burial site to the surviving relatives of the dead by way of the bones of the deceased. This transmission takes place via the earth, which acts as a conduit. However, many of the guiding concepts that determine what makes a successful yin home are not always evident or readily recognized by those who do not have expertise in the subject. For instance, a graveyard is about as yin as it is possible to go since death really inhabits there. One would believe that purchasing a spot in the cemetery that is located under a tree that provides shade is a nice option to go with. despite this, doing so would not alter the yin quality of the cemetery as all. Because increasing the amount of yang energy in the region is the objective, the optimal location for the plot is one that is immediately next to open space and receives an abundance of light. These are the types of ideas that are simple to understand and to prepare for. The preparation for the moment when an individual will really “move in” to their own dwelling is something that is not that simple. You may plan to occupy a plot in a given direction and within a certain time frame if you utilize the xuan kong system, which is where dwellings are erected during 20-year cycles. However, unless one knows when year they will die, there might be some issues with long-range planning. On many different cultures, whole families will be buried together in a single large piece of land. In this scenario, the number of possible orientations is significantly reduced, since the majority of them are already predetermined. For instance, Grandpa might have been placed to rest in 1974 (period 6), and then Dad could have been laid to rest beside him in 2004 (period 8). There would have been room left for the subsequent generation, even though it is unknown what period the subsequent generation would wind up being. These time spans, taken by themselves, may be used to differentiate between a good yin house and a poor yin house in terms of the potential effects it will have on subsequent generations. When compared to the input provided by the yang home, which might be instantaneous, the research and observation of this subfield of feng shui plainly runs over a significant number of decades. yin house takes into consideration many different aspects, such as the larger environment of the cemetery, the road courses within the cemetery, the land quality and land levels, nearby natural features such as mountains or water, the orientation of the plot, and even whether the head stone is placed flat on the ground or positioned upward, perpendicular to the ground. There is no question that requests for this kind of service are sometimes made with very little notice in advance, therefore the birth year of the person who is going to be put to rest is one of the considerations that goes into the calculation for the best potential burial site. In addition, inquiries about cremation and the subject of whether or not ashes have any impact whatsoever, regardless of whether they are buried, kept, or scattered, are certain to be asked at some point.
