What is the purpose of your Feng Shui
website? One
of my objectives is to establish the validity of esoteric Feng Shui.
The way I see it, Lillian Too did a good job of introducing the concept
of Feng Shui to Westerners. The others that followed her pushed the
doors open even further. Only now we have a flood of unreal Feng Shui
on the market.
There is
so much confusion about what is 'real' Feng Shui these days. There are
several different Feng Shui ‘schools’ of thought:
Black Hat, Intuitive, Compass School-Flyiing Stars (FX), Compass
School- Landform, Eight Mansions, Da Gua. Every self-crowned Master
acknowleges the other schools have different techniques, but their
answer to the confusion is simply to not mix and blend them. Know
this-- Real Feng Shui is powerful and manipulates the laws of nature.
Unfortunately, people with open minds have gotten lost while searching
for the truth. It's all become like one big blur.
There are so many Feng Shui websites on the
Internet. Why should I believe you? How is your website any different from the
others? Fengshuifacts.org
is unique and unlike any other Feng Shui website. First, I am not a
self-crowned Feng Shui ‘Master,’ nor am I an
apprentice of esoteric Feng Shui. Second, I am not selling you my
services. Third, I am not selling Feng Shui ‘cures’
or ‘enhancers.’ What is Feng Shui?
In ancient times as well as today,
Feng Shui was known as "Kan-Yu" which means 'The Law of Heaven and
Earth.’ The first time in recorded history that the term
‘feng shui’ was used was in the Book of the Burial
written by Guo-Pu: “Qi rides the wind
(feng) and scatters, but is retained when encountering water (shui).”
Just as with the original Masters of Feng Shui, today’s
lineage holders of authentic Feng Shui know how to choose and use the
most beneficial qi. Today we call the skills they
possess--‘Feng Shui.’
I
want a Feng Shui audit of my house. How do I choose a Feng Shui Master?
I wouldn’t choose any Feng
Shui ‘Master’ in the industry today to audit my
house. They lack the true esoteric knowledge of Feng Shui and
therefore if they happened to achieve any success it would be merely
because of chance and not because of the technique they used. If you
are suffering from a severe health problem I suggest you complete the
form in the Case Studies link. Will I be charged a fee if I have
a health problem and want your Master to audit the place where I live?
No you will not be charged a fee if
it involves a sickness case. In the traditional Chinese way though,
when a Feng Shui Master applies a metaphysical
‘solution’ in helping anyone, the person on the
receiving end will give the Master a red packet with some money in it.
This is to signify to invisible beings around them that they are
helping based on a business basis. In this way, the invisible beings
won’t harm the Master for possibly interrupting their
revenge. Who
are the real lineage holders of esoteric Feng Shui?
Today, just as it was in ancient
times, esoteric Feng Shui knowledge is top secret. During the Tang
Dynasty the Japanese government sent scholars to learn Feng Shui from
the Chinese but they declined.
This
special esoteric knowledge is not revealed to just anyone. Each lineage
holder can transmit to only a few apprentices. If T’an Yang
Wu had not disclosed its existence we would have no idea of the true
teachings. (He was taught by a Taoist priest.) Even so, what is written
in books and available to the public about esoteriec Feng Shui may only
be seventy percent of the entire teachings. (One would have to be a
genius to understand even this without the guidance of a true teacher.)
The other thirty percent is believed to be transmitted only to the
apprentices. The transmission of authentic Feng Shui has been going on
without other’s notice since time immemorial. Incidentally,
most lineage holders live normal lives and prefer to stay like a
‘hidden’ yogi. They are like hermits who never want
to be known by others. Will hanging a mirror redirect
the flow of qi? No.
Qi cannot be directed by using a mirror. Qi rides on the wind and
settles in water and thus we look for the passages it traverses
throughout the landscape, in the shape of the surroundings, as well as
the way it is affecting us based on our sleeping location within the
home. Will hanging wind
chimes stop bad qi from harming me?
No, it will not stop bad qi. (This is
a wrong concept to have about qi as well.) The idea of hanging wind
chimes probably comes from ancient China, when the local people
believed that the ringing of a bell could reach the world where spirits
dwell. Because of this belief, Chinese Buddhist monks had Holy
Scriptures embossed on some large temple bells. It is written in
certain scriptures that High priests of Buddhism also received
'feedback' from spirits that the temple bells had helped them in
overcoming sufferings. But hanging wind chimes in and outside of your
home-- is in fact thought to attract ghosts. Does my house have a sitting
and facing direction? In
esoteric Feng Shui, sitting and facing are relative to your location in
the environment. Is there a sitting? Yes. Is there a facing? Yes.
However, it is not used in the same way as it is in other Feng Shui
schools. I
have a missing corner in the NE section of my house. Will I always be
poor for as long as I live in this house? If you want to grasp this feng shui one needs
to drop the concept of a ‘missing corner.' The terminology of
‘missing corner’ is not accurate in describing what
can be lacking in your environment to make it a
‘safe’ place to live. Should I
paint my wall a certain color to bring a particular kind of luck?
This idea stems from the Four Pillars
astrological chart. In Four Pillars it is believed that if you are
missing a certain element in your star chart make-up you may be helped
by wearing the color or introducing the color associated with your
missing element into your home environment. This is not a part of
authentic Feng Shui. Will hanging a picture of a mountain behind
my back at work bring me more support from superiors?
Hanging a poster, painting or picture
of a mountain behind yourself at work will give you no support from qi
at all. In addition, some Feng Shui practitioners claim that hanging a
picture of a mountain behind your bed will bring you a good nights
sleep. While it may psychologically influence you because you want to
believe that you are protected from negative forces, the image itself
actually does nothing physically to change the chemistry of the qi
inside of your room. This is not an application of real Feng Shui. Will
hanging a picture in front of me that has water in it help me to become
successful in my career? Unfortunately an image of water in front of
you, no matter how special, will not help to accumulate and restrain
qi. REAL water is a powerful element in feng shui because it has the
ability to collect qi. Your location in relationship to real water, the
amount of water present, and the stillness or force of it will all
contribute to the affect of qi on yourself.
I have a fireplace along my NW
wall. Is that bad? The
placement of fire in the NW in relationship to your position can be
good or bad depending other surrounding forms. In general terms, fire
in the NW is good until the year 2017, when we enter period 9.
Will
my luck change if I have plastic surgery? Face reading is a part of Chinese
metaphysics. It is believed the soul resides in the body and manifests
outwardly through forms so it is readable by certain features. Changing
the features on your face does not change the attributes you were born
with or your DNA pattern. For better luck, first change your attitude.
Does
a Master of esoteric Feng Shui use the date my house was built (called
a ‘period’) to create a Flying Star chart?
No. In authentic Feng Shui there is
no such thing as the ‘period’ of a house and the
year the house was built is not used to create any charts. In addition,
a Flying Star chart is not created using the year the roof went onto
the house. A house is considered ‘dead.’ The belief
in and application of this FX method stems from a misunderstanding of
the Yi-Jing as well as to the feng shui practioner’s lack of
understanding certain astronomical occurrences of importance.
Should I ever take compass
directions from inside of my house? No. A ‘magnetic compass’
is nothing but a detector for very slight magnetic fields created by
anything. It’s made of a small, lightweight magnet balanced
on a nearly frictionless pivot point usually called the
‘needle.’ Almost all metal objects inside of your
house and any jewelry you are wearing will affect the reading. The
magnetic field of the Earth is fairly weak on the surface. Make sure to
always take the compass directions from the outside of your house.
I’ve
heard that true north is used instead of magnetic north in esoteric
Feng Shui. Is this correct and if so why use true North?
The magnetic compass
needle points toward magnetic north, not the North Pole. The difference
between the two is called the angle of declination and it varies from
area to area around the Earth. The reason for using true north has been
kept secret and only revealed from Master to his apprentices.
Are you a Master of esoteric Feng
Shui? Will you audit my house? Do you charge a fee?
No, I am not a Master of esoteric
Feng Shui. Because I live in the United States I might help in
gathering data for the Master or apprentices because they don't live in
the U.S.. I do not charge a fee. If you are having a bad medical
condition or medical crisis and would like to know more about it from a
true Feng Shui perspective please use the Email me and Case Studies
links as the Master or his apprentices may study your situation and
advice accordingly. They will not charge a fee for their help.
