FENG-SHUI

Fengshui literally means water and air. This is a Chinese art in which water and air could be used in a better way. Through fengshui the energy of the plot can be utilized in a better manner.

            ‘Yang’ fengshui proposes for the accumulation of internal energy. ‘Chi’ is that energy which is to be brought out. After that system for its internal distribution is developed which brings good health, wealth and good fate for the family.

            Some Chinese philosophers used ‘Yin-Va-Yang’ as the philosphy of polarization. Yin means woman, darkness, death and water whereas Yang means man, light, accomodation and fire. Philosphers believe that the interaction between these two powers result in the formation of universe. This philosophy is similar to Sankhya philosphy. Fengshui imagines Yang-Chi ans the key factor behind life and actvity.

            The fengshui experts find it very necessary to examine the land. A hospital has negative energy of ill and dead spirits accommodate a groveyard or cremation place and a police station has waves of torture and tensions. According to feng-shui these places are not appropriate. The law of cary & hold is applied in the negative form of the plot which is applicable even after rehabilatation. It is believed that this negative energy troubles the residents. It is suggested in fengshui not to use the plot with a burnt house immediately. It is necessary to replace the mud of the plot.

            Dragon Chi is that energy which is obtained from a hill at the back of the plot. As a hill is not possible behind every plot a high building could be a substitute. Similarly, high buildings beside the plot has great importance. This provides stability and support when required. A broad lane in front of the plot is auspicious. This proves that open place increases the ambition of a person and brings complete change in the perception. It decreases the hurdles of life. If a high hill or a building is not possible then the back of the house should be high and the front should be low. It is applicable in every matter of fengshui whereas Indian Vastushastra suggests that north and east should always be low. In fengshui a tree at the back or in the ‘Vayarya’ is auspicious. It enhances the power of the owner. The back of the house denotes the present generation. Fengshui suggests few remedies to this problem. A big pole should be at the back of the house with a low voltage lamp. Another remedy is that arrangement should be changed in this way that the front and back become vice-versa. This will bring prosperity to life.

            A plot with an elevated middle is considered unauspicious because it loses energy. Fengshui suggests that if the plot is at then it accumulates energy. This is also considered unauspicious.

            A drain at the back ends support from the friends and brings ill fate to the family. Similarly, if the elevation of the plot is same even then it effects the fate. A swimming pool at the back of the house is against Fengshui.

            Four important elements of fengshui are elevation at the back, an open space in the front, the left side i.e. the dragon side should have a drain and a lane on the right side i.e. the tiges side. It all the four are followed together, it brings prosperity. If the tiger’s direction is higher than dragon’s side then the friends would not support a person. Dragon side should be elevated then the tiger side. Hence, garage etc. should be on the dragon’s side.
