We're always excited to answer questions from the various Feng Shui groups we're part of. Some questions come up so often that we decided to write this article to address the most common ones.
Understanding Feng Shui Today
In today's world, Feng Shui exists in two distinct forms:
- Traditional Feng Shui: Based on ancient Chinese texts and centuries of wisdom.
- New Age Feng Shui: A modern adaptation incorporating symbolic elements from various Eastern traditions, including Tibetan influences unknown to ancient masters.
Why BaZi Advisor Chooses Traditional Feng Shui
BaZi Advisor offers solutions based solely on Traditional Feng Shui. These methods might be a bit more complex than New Age ones, but they are backed by thousands of years of practice and have consistently proven effective when applied correctly.
What Traditional Feng Shui is Not
- It's not about creating a wealth corner: Feng Shui isn’t just about finding a magical spot to bring riches.
- It's not about choosing bedroom pictures or front door statues: Simple decor choices aren't the essence of Feng Shui.
- House numbers don’t matter: Unlike popular belief, the number of your house isn’t a critical factor.
- Not about amulets or wall colors: True Feng Shui isn't focused on charms or paint colors.
Two Main Methods of Traditional Feng Shui
In Traditional Feng Shui, two main methods are accessible to beginners with the right guidance. BaZi Advisor provides step-by-step guides to help you use these methods effectively, depending on your goals.
1. Ba Zhai - 8 Palaces Analysis
This method divides your building into nine sectors, each linked to an element. By understanding the energy distribution, you can identify favorable and unfavorable areas. The remedies suggested after this analysis have long-lasting effects, often over a year, and can be easily applied without prior Feng Shui knowledge. Witness the results over time.
2. Flying Stars Analysis
Flying Stars Analysis offers quicker results, typically within a few months, but may require periodic adjustments. The arrangement depends on cosmic energy changes, and significant events like roof changes or renovations can alter the Building Year, affecting Feng Shui dynamics. If dissatisfied with the current arrangement, changing the Building Year can bring transformative changes to your home and life.
Timing in Feng Shui
In Feng Shui, timing is crucial, especially when decorating your home or workplace or applying remedies. The energy present at that moment can either amplify their effectiveness or diminish their power. Before starting any Feng Shui adjustments, such as rearranging furniture or applying remedies based on lucky directions or Flying Stars, it's wise to consult your personal horoscope with Ba Zi Advisor.
Getting Started with Feng Shui
At first, you might feel overwhelmed by information. That's why we recommend following one of the guides proposed by BaZi Advisor for prosperity, health, personal development, or relationships and love. It's good to focus on one area at a time, and once you're done, you can move on to something else.
Important Tips:
- Set Realistic Goals: Fix a realistic goal and do what you can without stressing about what you can’t do.
- Exterior Matters: Try masking the Sha Qi (negative energy) with vegetation, water fountains, pools, or at least put up a curtain. What you don’t see affects you less.
- Analyze House Sectors: Choose favorable sectors and apply remedies to counteract negative ones.
- Flying Stars: Stay in the sector of interest according to your goals and make sure it's not affected by Sha Qi.
- Strengthen Positive Directions: Identify which Stars or Noble Men's directions should be strengthened or stimulated by proper remedies and choose a proper date to do this.
