Can you apply Feng Shui principles as a combination: in individual rooms AND to a building @ the same time?
I’ve recently become interested in Feng Shui 4 my home. I just moved into a house & would like 2 apply Feng Shui principles 2 it. I’ve been reading about the placements of objects/colors in certain areas (directions/bagua) of the home in individual rooms OR throughout a bldg for better flow of chi. I want 2 know if I could do this as a combo – move things around in an individual rm AS WELL as 4 the house in general. If so, does this confirm that each rm has its own N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W & N directions? (I already understand the 5 elements 4 each direction). Will the placement of objects in a certain rm defeat the purpose of placement of objects in the bldg? Such as something against an E wall & a neighboring SE wall.
I’ve glanced thru books & visited various websites 4 info. I am hoping someone who is readily familiar w/Feng Shui can give me some advice, rather than directing me to a website or such. Any other additional relevant info would be appreciated (via email).
Thx

i had taken some courses under some chinese fengshui masters. and i can tell you that there no such thing as a general guideline to follow, because there are too many fengshui concepts, and each one of them is complicated to explain here. and when someone makes an audit to a house, he/ she must visit the house personally to get precise measurements.
thus if you are interested to learn fengshui, get the book: A Master Course in Feng-shui by Eva Wong ISBN: 1-57062-584-0. Ms. eva wong is considered to be a very good fengshui master, but she does not offer courses. she is even better than ms. lillian too. ms. lillian is a writer and not a fengshui master. ms. lillian wrote many books about 8 mansions, but she did not include the secret of attracting wealth using this concept in any of her books.
in that book, ms. eva wong writes about flying stars concept. you need to understand that the book is good, but most fengshui writers just do not write about some alternative ways on the application of the concept. thus, it is still better to take some courses under a master.
i know that you want an easy answer. but the truth is when a fengshui does an audit. he/ she must first look at the location of the house in relation to water/ road/ river/ bridges and mountain/ building/ structures, around the house. or where is your house located in the subdivision.
then we also take the direction of the source of yang energy, usually the main front door – this must be a precise degree measurement using a compass. then you can use flying stars to calculate for the good locations and bad locations in your house.
the good and bad locations pertain to the energy distribution based on the calculation or "flying of the stars". the energy is not what you think it is. it is chi. it cannot be felt nor sensed. it just can be calculated using this concept. because a direction like east (45degrees) is subdivided into 3 parts (15degrees each), a tiny deviation can make a big difference. thus, it is difficult to summarize everything here.
without the concepts, most of the fengshui that you will do are not that powerful to bring in wealth or health to change your life significantly.
even with placing aquariums or deciding where your kitchen must go depends on using these concepts.
i think what most fengshui book writes about are things that are common sense to most fengshui practitioners or to most chinese. and these things won’t change your life. for me, it is just a waste of time to even bother with these without the concepts.
if you know the concepts, you will not even bother to use mirrors or baguas or putting statues around the house. because you know more powerful ways to achieve what you like.
and in fengshui, you need to have a goal to apply a concept. for example, you need to attract wealth, then you need to activate the current water star. to do this, you need to put an aquarium with an aerator (the number or color of the fish do not matter at all, like what most books tell you – this is putting you off, so that you will not know the secret of this, which is that you need a moving water > which is an aquarium with an aerator or a flowing water) at the current water star – this is where the concept comes in. if you do the calculation, it will locate the current water star in your house.
in fengshui, you can only attract either health or wealth – 1 application for 1 goal. there is no such thing as harmonizing the elements to make your place in harmony – this is another misconception that writers and fengshui people use for you not to get their trade secret. and people actually believe them! =)
i know that this is not an answer to your question, but i hope that you get the book. it will explain to you a lot of things. and with it, you can diy your house and other houses. if you do buy the book, also get a compass – it is better to get a chinese compass or the luo pan, because each circle represent something in the fengshui concepts. but you can replace it with a compass with a rotating compass at the middle.
ps – for me, it is better for a fengshui application to be supported by at least 2 fengshui concepts. you need to use the fengshui concepts together to cross reference them. the more concept you use in an area, the more powerful it becomes.
- colors do not affect fengshui, it is more that it affects our minds. and fengshui deals more with the environment/ house- not mind. you need to understand that fengshui is not a belief, it works even if you do not believe in it. meaning, if you use the concepts properly, after application, you need to forget about it and go on with life. and after 1-3 months, life should be easier, like everything is falling into place, like suddenly you just got more clients, that is if you are attracting more wealth.
- in my case, if i want more clients in my business, whenever i do a fengshui in my house, i usually get a result just after a couple of weeks.
- if you combine the flying stars and the elements, then your fengshui will be a lot more powerful than mere painting your room green!
- and you need to understand that nobody has done a 100% fully fengshuid house. if you achieve a 67% or 2/3 done right, then it is already good.
