Discuss the importance of Feng Shui

When it comes to Feng Shui, many people think it must be superstitious. In fact, each of us can use Feng Shui, but you don’t know it!

In our lives, everything from ordinary people choosing a location for building a house, choosing an orientation when opening a door, to funerals and burials all depend on Feng Shui, and even how to place the office desk in the unit is very particular. This is not superstition, this is science.

Qi: An invisible and intangible energy that flows in the universe, runs through all things, and has magical vitality.

Feng Shui: A traditional Chinese system of changing space and time. Balance and harmony can be achieved through deployment and use of space Qi patterns and environments.

There is also science in Feng Shui

To put it simply, Feng Shui is the study of space and time. In space and time, there are five types of qi: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The changes of these qi are magically predictable, just like the current weather forecast. It was through this predictability that the ancient Chinese calculated what would happen in the future or what had happened in the past.

In life, we often feel that Feng Shui is very mysterious and it is difficult to master and apply this mysterious knowledge. In fact, it is not the case. Feng Shui is neither a magical metaphysics nor a superstition. It is a science that integrates psychology, management, physics, philosophy and other disciplines. Its essence is to achieve the best integration between us and the environment we live in, so that we and the environment interact with each other, thereby gaining momentum for progress, supporting each other in harmony, and moving forward. In current words, it is "guided by the scientific outlook on development to achieve the ultimate win-win situation."

In fact, each of us will use Feng Shui in our lives, but we don’t know that this is Feng Shui, let alone believe that Feng Shui is so simple and so close to us.

For example, if you are taking a bus and get on the bus and find that there are still a few empty seats in the car, you will instinctively choose a seat based on your preference. You choose the empty seat in the back because it's by the window, and you like the window seat because it makes you feel happy. Or you can choose the empty seat next to the middle door, because you only need to get off after one stop, so it is convenient to get off there. Maybe you choose the empty seat at the front. It's not by the window and it's inconvenient to get off the bus, but it has a wide view and looks ahead, which makes you feel comfortable. At this time, you are inadvertently using Feng Shui to deal with the space. In fact, everyone who has taken a bus has had this experience. Under normal circumstances, when there are available seats on the bus, women will most likely choose to sit with women. This is for psychological reasons. Vigilance is actually the use of water separation instinct.

What is Qi?

What is the core of Feng Shui? I believe that most people will say: it is "qi". For example, if a dynasty is overthrown by another dynasty, everyone will say that this dynasty is exhausted. The position of Qi in Chinese Feng Shui is obviously very important.

So what exactly is anger? The so-called Qi is actually something that cannot be seen or touched, but can be felt by people. It is a force that runs through everything in this world. For example, we often say "evil does not suppress good". The showdown between evil and good is, in the final analysis, a decisive battle between evil and righteousness, and the main body in the middle is qi. This invisible power can penetrate into our hearts and affect our lives anytime and anywhere.

In qigong science, there is the theory of "qi field". The world and the universe are just an atmospheric field. The city or village where we live is also an aura field. In this aura field, healthy energy needs to be able to circulate continuously and not stagnate, let alone accumulate. Therefore, many people are very particular about the location of their houses, the orientation of the door, and even the placement of the office desk in their unit. This is not superstition, this is science. Because everything we do must comply with the flow of Qi energy and must not cause any obstruction. Just like when a typhoon blows, you can't block the wind. Otherwise you will have to pay a heavy price. In the same way, the choice of residence and work location must not block the "breathing vent", which has an important impact on everyone in the office.

With a good environment and atmosphere, we can live happily, work happily, enjoy easily, interact with others happily, actively help others, and accept help from others. This is the Qi in our environment, it is healthy and beneficial. For example, in a place with fresh air, beautiful mountains and clear waters, broad vision, and kind people - the environment here interacts with people, and the surrounding Qi flows harmoniously. Living, studying, and making friends in this aura will change our mood. It is also pleasant and the body will be full of energy!

From ancient times to the present, according to Feng Shui theory, the Feng Shui of the tomb of the head of the family will affect the fortune of the family. Then, the feng shui of the tomb of the king of a country will affect the rise and fall of the entire country. Therefore, since ancient times, people have attached great importance to the choice of tomb feng shui. Ordinary people hope that their lives will go smoothly, those in power hope that their official career will be safe and secure, and emperors hope that their imperial power will last forever.
