Importance
of Mountain Dragon By
Jon Sim
In
Feng Shui, there is a saying - Mountain govern Man, Water govern Wealth. Wealth
obviously refers to money and assets. Man refers to you; the health, wisdom, emotions,
and human relationship of one's. In simple, mountain refers to people luck while
water, wealth luck. Now,
what is so important about mountain? To start off, we have to first understand
the very relationship between mountain and water. We
have always mentioned that true Feng Shui is about the influences of "Qi" (metaphysical
forces of nature), how the "Qi" in your residing environment actually affect you. Surely
the question to be asking, where does "Qi" come from? And to answer you, mountain
is the source of all these "Qi". It
has always been misunderstood by many and even some Feng Shui practitioner that
"Qi" is produced by water. Or perhaps this is human nature. Everyone greed after
wealth, choosing to just incorrectly believe so. Afterall, water brings about
wealth (wealth luck) We
have seen many cases, especially with self-taught practitioner. Some are in fact
very good with locating wealth corner (water location). But it is a pity that
when it comes to mountain location, they hardly have the knowledge. You
have to understand this. All around us, the planet is constantly changing and
growing. Mighty mountains are formed by the magnetic pull of these planetary changes,
generating "Qi" that affect our lives. And these "Qi" are carried and dispersed
by the wind and preserved in the water into our environment. This is the law of
Nature. To
take note, water is just a medium to help gather and distribute these "Qi". When
there is no mountain, there is no presence of any "Qi". So what's the point of
having water when there is no "Qi" present to be gathered? Nice to look at but
of no use to be having. No point cheating yourself or worse, being misled by some
inexpert. Without the presence of "Qi", the Feng Shui formation is just not going
to work. Think
about it. Now, isn't mountain a more important factor to consider? We
have seen also cases of many going just directly into the interior of the house,
neglecting details of the external environment, the very external influences.
Remember, true Feng Shui is never an interior decoration. To
get the best out of Feng Shui, both mountain and water locations are equally important.
A
good Feng Shui master should have the expertise in both, capable of identifying
good mountain in the environment; able to cleverly combine both to bring about
a well-balanced Feng Shui formation for you. In Feng Shui, a balance is always
sought (Yin & Yang) What
make a good mountain anyway? In
general, mountain can be of 5 types (Earth, Wood, Metal, Fire and Water) bringing
about different influences. E.g. Earth mountain aid wealth and prosperity, fruitfulness
offspring. Wood mountain aid fame and academic. In
general, a timely and good mountain looks green. This resembles a healthy and
happy dragon, which will bring you good health and fortunes. A brown and dry one
resembles a sick and angry dragon that would bring bad health and misfortunes.
Now,
there is definitely nothing wrong with wanting wealth, who doesn't want it? But
just ask yourself this simple question, who is the one who want it? Surely it
is you, the very man? Without
good health, wisdom and the correct attitude, how are you possibly going to achieve
wealth? What is the use of having lots of wealth when you don't have the health
to enjoy it?
Picture
it this way. Water is always flowing. Yes, it
may bring you wealth with plentiful of riches
flowing in. But without a mighty mountain to cleverly
stop and control the water, your wealth is just
going to keep flowing away.
In
life, a balance is always to be sought (Yin & Yang) remember, when you can earn
a lot, you can also spend a lot. When you can be in good health, you can also
be in ill health. Without a balance, you can be earning $10k and spending $20K.
Now isn't that instead going to bring more problem & difficulty to your life in
the long run? Worst, without a good health? Understand
the true of Feng Shui, seek the correct way of life. Article
