Feng Shui is a Chinese words that means wind and water. Chinese
people is believed all elements of the Earth contains an energy that known as
qi.
They believe if we used feng shui properly it can enhance the human experience encompassing wealth, relationships and health. It is a common sense approach to
living a life in harmony with your environment and by doing so, achieving your
goals. Many people believe in feng shui but for some people, feng shui is just
a myth. So, is it myth or truth? Well, lets start with myth about feng shui :)
Do not use dried flowers or twigs as a decoration as these are dead.
Silk flowers or plants can be used but avoid plastic. Nothing is as effective
for stimulating the energy as live plants and fresh cut flowers. Do not leave
dying plants and flowers around, as these will damage the energy. These should
be cleared away and replaced as soon as possible.
When you are sitting at a desk in your home or office do not face the
wall. This provides no support. You should always sit with your back to a solid
wall facing into the room. Also what is in front of you is your future and
facing a wall means that your future is blocked.
Make sure your kids never sleep on the floor. Children
who sleep on the ground are likely to fall ill more frequently to those who
sleep in beds where qi can flow underneath.
Stove should never be located directly across from sink
because the water element (sink) “puts out” or destroys the fire element
(stove).
That is some feng shui myth for house. We can see all the
reason is related with qi energy or earth element. Maybe because of that, some
people don’t believe feng shui. We cannot see that energy and also cannot
prove that is exist. But, whether its true or not, we still can relate it with logical reason.
We cannot use dried flower as a decoration because it not nice to see.
Imagine if the flower at your house is died already and you don’t clear it
soon, your house will be like neglected. Isn’t it nicer if you use fresh flower
everyday to decorate ur house? :)
I don’t understand how sitting face the wall can block the future. But
for me personally, sitting face the wall really not comfortable. Nothing to see
except wall and I don’t know what happen behind me. Maybe it will make me more
emotional and cannot concentrate with my work.
I like to sleep on the floor :P hehe.. Sleep on the floor is not good for your health because floor is cold
and if you keep sleep there u might get sick. It's also not good for ur hips. Why sleep on the floor when u have a comfortable bed? :)
For this last reason, I found it in the internet website
:P The reason
Feng Shui originally recommended avoiding having water too near fire is because
in ancient China (where Feng Shui began) people cooked over an open
flame. Before the invention of matches, starting a fire was an arduous task. The
last thing you wanted to have happen when you were cooking over fire is
the flame to go out, hence, it is just common sense that you would want to
avoid water near that area.
I also found some feng shui myth that I cannot explain with
the logical reason, like:
- The Wealth Corner is in the Southeast or the
Far Left Corner of the House
- Water Feature in the North will Make you
Wealthy or the dragon with a purle will make you extremely powerful and rich
- If you want to be the leader in your workplace, or
industry, place a dragon on the right hand side of your desk, facing towards
the window or door.
- Placing telephone and fax machine at your wealth corner attracts
money.
I'm believed in feng shui. My dad always said, “There is always a reason why they
say no to something.” So, I just believe
it. :P
