Many people with troubled relationships have often
turned to Feng Shui gifts and remedies as a last resort to solve
their romantic woes. However, very few know or understand what Feng
Shui is about, often thinking it is some kind of mystical voodoo
to charm their potential targets.
Contrary to some beliefs, Feng Shui is not just about healing troubled
relationships or buying Feng Shui gifts and ornaments to decorate
the house.
Feng Shui Fundamentals
Feng Shui (literally "Wind and Water" in Chinese), is
all about balance and harmony between us and our environment. Just
like the Yin and Yang energies (whose symbol, as pictured on the
right, is becoming increasingly well-known), Feng Shui is about
balance. Where there is light, there will always be darkness; where
there is fire, there will always be water; and so forth.
Feng Shui teaches that every individual interacts differently to
their environment. Sometimes, a particular environment - such as
a house or office - is so suited to you that you find that everything
in your life is great. However, if you have troubled relationships
or financial woes, it is quite likely that there is some discord
or imbalance between yourself and your environment, manifesting
in your daily life.
By subtly modifying your environment, you will be able to restore
this balance, and consequently improve your life. Modifying your
environment can be as simple as changing the angle or position of
your work desk, or by buying Feng Shui gifts such as mandarin ducks
and placing them in proper locations in your home or office.
 There
are many systems of authentic classical Feng Shui. This website
focuses on the Xuan Kong (pronounced "Shu-en Kong") system.
Xuan Kong (literally "Mysterious Void" in Chinese) is
a complete system which includes complicated formulae to calculate
optimal positioning and composition of an environment.
Eight Mansion (Pa-Kua) School of Feng Shui
There are a few sub-schools within the Xuan Kong system, including
the popular Flying Stars school. Our descriptions in this website
are based on the Eight Mansion school, also known as the Pa-Kua
school. In the Pa-Kua technique, the compass is divided into eight
directions, each of which is depicted by a trigram, as can be seen
to your left. Each of these directions have different significance.
For example, one of the Pa-Kua directions is the personal or relationship
direction, which will be of the most interest to someone with troubled
relationships. Furthermore, the significance of each direction differs
for each individual.
To find out how each Pa-Kua direction affects you personally, you
will need to calculate your Kua Number. You can do this by visiting
Dragon
Gate's Kua Calculator. The calculator will provide you with
your Kua Number, and more importantly, what each Pa-Kua direction
means to you. In short, four of those directions will be positive
and favorable to you, while the other four will have negative connotations
for you.
The eight Pa-Kua directions can be briefly summarized as follows:
- Sheng Chi (Life Generating) - This Pa-Kua direction
is your prosperity and wealth direction. You would focus on this
direction if you are interested in financial strength.
- Tien Yi (Heavenly Doctor) - This direction
is your health direction. You would focus on this direction if
you are interested in health and physical matters.
- Nien Yin (Relationships) - This direction is
your relationships direction. You would focus on this direction
if you have troubled relationships and would like to improve your
love life and/or your marriage. You can read more info on this
by visiting our Love and Relationships
page.
- Fu Wei (Stability) - This direction is your
stability and knowledge direction. You would focus on this direction
if you want to achieve tranquility and knowledge.
- Ho Hai (Mishaps) - The first negative Pa-Kua
direction is your accident or misfortune direction. You would
focus on this direction if you want to reduce unforeseen accidents
or loss.
- Wu Gwei (Five Ghosts) - This direction is your
financial loss direction. You would focus on this direction to
prevent theft and other financial woes.
- Liu Sha (Six Killings) - This direction is
your "evil" direction. You would focus on this direction
to ward off malevolence against you.
- Chueh Ming (Total Loss) - This direction is
your loss and death direction. You would focus on this direction
to reduce physical loss and death around you.
