Art of Water Placement
The
use of water feature has been widely applied in
Feng Shui practice. It is believed to be able
to create wealth and good fortune by many. But
this is however not true. Water does not in anyway
represent wealth, abundance and prosperity. By
the law of nature, "Qi" is carried and dispersed
by the wind and preserve in the water.
In
fact, having the wrong application and placement
of water feature in your home may actually just
bring you and your family more harm and misfortune
instead, probably also resulting in a financial
loss.
In
this ancient chinese knowledge, the use of water
is there to only help harness the "Qi" of our
surrounding environment to better enhance your
life achievement.
By
the law of nature, "Qi" is carried and dispersed
by the wind and preserve in the water.
In
Xuan Kong Feng Shui, water is used to gather the
good "Qi" to bring about beneficial changes in
your life. The placement of water in your house
is arranged accordingly to the different period
and individual house's directional position to
help achieve that.
Perhaps
there are just some water features lying in your
home right now at this very moment? Then you should
better be beware of the possible danger you might
be actually facing if the positioning of them
are wrong.
Below
are some common general Feng Shui guides that
you might have come across.
Location
to Be Placing Water Feature:
- North
Sector: Career or Business Success; Increase
of Income
- Southeast
Sector: Overall Wealth, Prosperity and Abundance
- East
Sector: Family Harmony and Health
These
locations may not exactly always be correct for
water placement. Many just follow blindly without
even knowing that they might had install a water
feature at the very wrong location in their house,
which may actually bring about more harm and misfortune
than to benefits for them.
Location
to Avoid Placing Water Feature:
- Bedroom:
It will cause financial loss and weakening of
love relationship
This
again is not true. It may actually be allowed
if the formation of your house permits and in
fact for some cases, placing of water feature
in the room can be exceptionally beneficial.
In
order to get the correct spot for the placement
of water feature and its flow direction, it must
be based on individual house's flying stars chart
and house's formation analysis chart and this
is better done with the help of a true professional
Feng Shui practitioner.
Everyone
should note that the art of placing water feature
are not meant for beginners.
Perhaps
to just share with you a good example: A friend
of mine was advised by a Feng Shui practitioner
to have water feature installed in the Direct
Spirit (aka Zhen Shen) sector in his living room
to activate a good facing star. It was true that
in general, facing star number 8 is certainly
a good star to be activating for period 8. But
little was he aware that by doing so, he has actually
violated the direct Spirit rule.
No
water feature should ever be placed in the Direct
Spirit sector. And indeed after placing the water
feature there, he encountered more difficulties
in his life rather than getting the benefits that
he was looking forward to.
You
see, even some Feng Shui practitioners can actually
make such a grave mistake.
Even
when you are armed with the Special Water Dragon
formation, you must never forget that the Direct
Spirit rule should never ever be violated.
All
Special Water Formation have their basis but then
again, certain vital rules are never to be overlooked.
- You
are never to violate both the
Direct
and Indirect Spirit rules
(aka Mountain &
Water Palace) by
placing any water feature there no matter how
good a spot or position it may be
- You
must correctly locate the qi of the house (aka
compartmentalize) in order to accurately identify
the dragon spot for placing your water feature
- You
have to carefully examine the external factors
coming from any existing real landform that
may be outside the house to correctly bring
in the good "Qi".
The
art of Water placement in Feng Shui can certainly
be complicated. Studying of it may seem easy but
the actual application may not just be that easy.
It
certainly requires a true understanding and strong
foundation of this ancient chinese fundamental
to be able to get things correct, to be better
bringing about beneficial changes to your life.
As mentioned earlier, the wrong placement of water
feature in the house may result in undesired harm
and misfortune like divorce, financial loss, poor
health… etc.
You
can't afford to go wrong. Unless you are absolutely
sure, it is still best to leave it to the professional.
Important
Note:
Not all houses are ideal for installing water
feature. Water placement & activation of prosperous
location (without using water feature) have different
Indirect and direct spirit rules.
Remember,
there is not shortcut to getting rich and success
overnight. The use of Feng Shui is there to only
help harness the Earth Luck, which account for
33% of our life. To achieve a success in life,
you nevertheless still have to be willing to work
hard to fulfill the other 33% of Human Luck. Your
hard work is certainly going to play a major part
in achieving your success.
Having
the correct attitude and mindset, the correct
application of Feng Shui can certainly help to
harness both our earth and human luck to complement
one another, bringing about beneficial changes
to one and to help them be achieving more in their
life.
Last
but not least, I would like to share with you
one of my favorite quotes by the famous Italian
renaissance artist and painter, Leonardo Da Vinci
- A
good painter has two main objects to paint,
man and the intention of his soul. The former
is easy, the latter hard as he has to represent
it by the attitude and movement of the limbs
- People
of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things
happen to them. They went out and happened to
things.
Best
of luck!
