An Introduction To Feng Shui ?
Feng shui is a traditional Chinese system of energy constellation that not just deals with object position, but also specific positioning of roles played in the family linage.
For this reason there is the Yin Feng Shui that deals with the positioning of the ancestral 'homestead', and the Yang Feng Shui that deals with individuals who are alive.
The importance of the Yin Feng Shui has been therefore heavily stressed upon all along Chinese history that it has develop into the most significant thing in one's being when one, or the elderly, is about to 'graduate' from this physical plane of existence.
Often, many an elder would make a start probing for the most 'ideal' position for their Yin Feng Shui homestead long before their estimated date of 'graduation'.
They would go to such extent as to appoint the most well-informed Feng Shui authority to be of assistance with 'tracing the dragon' in their effort to locate such an perfect site.
'Tracing the dragon' is a good ole adage that refers to 'in search of the essential source of energy by hiking.'
As far as the Yang Feng Shui is concerned, its core focus is upon healthiness and wealth.
Its tools are the many variations derived from the interaction of the Yin and Yang, such as high and low, far and near, black and white, light and dark...
It is the game of relativity as interpreted in the day by day life, if stated more exactly.
It means a whole lot more than simply 'Feng is wind' and 'Shui is water'.
As Feng Shui has become a extremely trendy niche recently and there have been numerous websites on this area of interest, more in-depth meaning will be required in order to make possible better understanding.
The key meaning of Feng Shui is seen in its name - the 2 words Feng and Shui, which mean 'Wind and Water' respectively.
It is their interaction that is central.
The principal definitions of Feng Shui are:
"When wind meets water, it will break its path of travel and stay around there."
"Wind carries 'chi' with it wherever it goes."
And by the way, 'chi' is the essential force that is so 'life-giving' and beneficial that everyone just cannot retain enough of it nowadays.
For that reason, it is incredibly simple to be aware of why lots of homes and communities are built near those areas where 'wind meets water'.
Good examples will be those water's edge real estate that is always in very good and competitive price range as they are constantly in demand. Yes, of course it is partially because of the nice sea views and easy access to water.
However on the energetic level, it is essentially because people are more easily drawn to places where there is abundant supply of 'chi' or good and nourishing energy. Other examples can be found in houses built in geographical surroundings where wind and water occur together amicably in mountain areas as well.
