To Those Who Are Sceptical about Feng Shui, Here’s the Scientific Proof
The Chinese text or characters of the word Feng Shui literally means water and wind. The Chinese used to believe that energy was transferred from one place to another via wind and water. This powerful energy could either spell disaster or fortune those who lived within its environment. It either transformed their life for the better or for the worst.
Let me share with you my personal encounter with this Feng Shui world. Since Feng Shui is getting popular these days I tried to learn as much as I can about this Chinese Feng shui. At first I thought it was an ancient Chinese astrology which predicts about you based on your zodiac sign and your name. Or maybe it has something to with I Ching. In fact, I found they are totally different.
I was a bit sceptical about feng shui then. How come just by rearranging furniture or removing some of them will affect your health, your fame, your wealth and prosperity? It simply doesn’t make sense, right? I guess the effect of one feeling good in an uncluttered Feng Shui room is just psychological. Well, it proved me wrong after I read about scientific proof that energy flow that results from Feng Shui practice is real. More on this later.
To perform Feng Shui you will need tools and the most basic ones are the compass and the bagua. You can easily get these Feng Shui products online. The bagua is a kind of map or chart that relates the different parts of your life in the eight divisions of the home. By using these basic tools as a feng shui guide, it is possible to learn to emphasize as well as figure out the place in your own business office or home that need immediate attention in order to be enhanced by Feng Shui practice.
Basically, one of the principles of Feng Shui is the principle of five elements, which are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. These Feng Shui elements interact among themselves in certain ways, generally defined as the productive and destructive cycles. EachFeng Shui element is represented by a specific color. Hence, using the 5 colors is the easiest way to use the five elements principle to bring more harmony into your house and therefore your family.
According to the past history, ancient Chinese really believed in this mystical Feng Shui. It affected in their making decision like having a house at a cross road or putting a mirror in a room to deflect bad energy and so on. Anyway science has proven me wrong. Now through quantum physics it has been proven that Feng Shui really affects our live for the better or for the worst. Hence, we have good feng shui and bad feng shui.
Let’s look at one of these scientific findings about Feng Shui:
Scientists have discovered recently that human mind can be altered from an alert state (beta) to a meditative state (alpha) just be entering a space or an area which has been applied Feng Shui into it. In simple term it means that your chaotic beta brain waves instantly switch to meditative alpha waves when you enter a good feng shui room.
I know you would say this doesn’t make sense at all that just by walking into a room your brain waves change automatically just because someone did Feng Shui on it. You are dead wrong. It has been scientifically proven that’s what really happened.
Here’s what happened:
Scientists hooked someone up to a portable EEG machine and brought him into a room with no Feng Shui cures or activations. They noted down his brain frequencies. Then they brought him again into the same room but this time the principles of Feng Shui had been applied to the room. They found that the beta waves of chaos began disappearing in seconds. The brain began accessing alpha waves. It was automatic!. What this means is that by simply being in a room with good Feng Shui, the brain began performing at higher levels. This presented undeniable proof that the energy of our environment has a profound impact on each of us as individuals.
Some people have the ability to see the energy flow like the Feng Shui master, Marie Diamond. She can literally see this flow just like the water flowing in a stream. For instance, when she looks at the spiky plant, she can see the energy shooting from the leaves. So one of theFeng Shui tips for you today: Don’t ever have any spiky plant behind your chair or else you’ll have that energy piercing through you and it will bring you bad fortune, your health.
You can do Feng Shui to a room in your office or even your living room by simply rearranging the furniture and removing some clutter that obstruct the flow of chi energy. This will attract the positive energy, the yang which results in that your health will improve by promoting healing, your insomnia gone and your love relationships with your spouse will greatly improve. Since we spend half of our life on bed, why not have a good Feng Shui bedroom.
Feng Shui provides a means to balance the yin and yang energies of the environment by controlling the energy flow. The balance of these two energies results in what we call a good feng shui. A study conducted has shown that one of the ways to get into the alpha state is to be in a room with good Feng Shui; because your brain will automatically produce more alpha waves. So if you are contemplating on meditation then make sure that your room has good feng shui.
What about your house? If you are serious, then building a house needs a feng shui consultation. Your house along with the rooms, bathroom and kitchen need to face certain directions based on his eight house feng shui analysis or reading. He also needs to do a flying stars (one of the schools of Feng Shui) calculation that deals with lucky energies that involve specific time period such us whether it is the year of a dragon. Each period can last for 20 years. All these calculations and readings of your house position, spaces and directions usually done by the feng shui practitioners and its implementation will bring success and prosperity to you as well as help you escape bad luck. When everything is in place then only you need to call your architect to build the house.
What about your furniture? Well then, you need another professional consultation for the interior design and the rearrangement of the furniture. In traditional Chinese culture rearranging furniture in specified areas is not an art nor for aesthetics purposes. People at that time used this ancient Feng Shui knowledge more on avoiding bad luck.
This practice looks complex but it is not. Usually you will need a Feng Shui consultation if you design a new building, the decorating required, where should the main door be, point to which directions and so on need to be determined. Of course you will need an interior decorator who will work closely with your Feng Shui master so that the end result is a house that create harmony to your family, living a healthy life which is your ultimate wish.
