Using The Power of qi to Improve the Feng Shui Potential in Our Homes

Most feng shui enthusiasts and beginners are plagued with the questions to understand the influences of location against direction. All you need is a clear understanding of how this power works. A renowned feng shui master in Hong Kong, Master Lee, interestingly said that one must never underestimate the power within any given location.
If you were to assess the events that have occurred in your life, or the experiences you might have come across or the opportunities presented to you, the following items are likely to play an imperative role in all of them.
  • The mountain and the water positions located around the vicinity of your residence
  • The direction or the location of your main door
  • The location of your kitchen and bedroom
Whether it is a city, a township, a suburb or just rooms within your house, the location is a powerful aspect that shapes our lives. Most beginners will immediately change the internal feng shui within their homes. The direction of the beds, the bathroom direction and the general décor of the house, are all examined in detail to ensure “perfection”.
However, we often miss the big picture. Most feng shui practitioners overlook the importance of taking a bird’s eye view of the location. You need to check and fix the major flaws in the external environment. For an instance, you must know where the building is located or what are the main roads and mountain ranges that govern the qi in that area. Ideally, our property must tap into the useful resources of the surrounding location. At the same time, we need to tailor the internal qi in accordance to our lives.
A house or office in the good direction will always prove helpful but choose the right location along with the right direction will spur a lot of positive effects. If your property were located in a disadvantaged location, it would usually negate the good effects generated while facing the good direction. Therefore, it is suggestive to position your main door, often referred to as the mouth of qi, in the right location besides placing it in the correct direction. You must always remember that location and direction are the two most important factors of feng shui and not the décor or the color. The colors of the walls or the curtains will never influence the qi in your house.
All feng shui enthusiasts might have heard of “luan tou”, also called the “landscape feng shui”. This is usually the area where you live, including the surrounding mountains and rivers. Environmental factors can play a crucial role in the effectiveness of feng shui. As a result, you need assess the current feng shui conditions in accordance to your area in large. Once you study the environment, you would know if the scales are tipping towards the positive or the negative and manage it accordingly. It is quite natural to get carried away with the internal feng shui concerns, however you must stop and look at things around you as well. Many a times, the problem may exist right outside your immediate living area.
