Improve Your Home Environment through Fengshui
The art of science of Fengshui is
increasingly gaining recognition among real estate professionals and even in
town planning, and is closely related to the practice of Vaastu. It is
basically a tool to harmonize and align the dwelling place and is concerned
with the flow of 'Chi' the Chinese term for movement of energy, in order to
release blocked energy which may have an effect in the corresponding areas of
our lives. Nowadays, Fengshui is known to maintain the value of real estate
holdings and even in countries like the USA and Canada, buyers often prefer a
property that has been approved by a Fengshui expert.
Fengshui gives importance and relevance
to the five elements of water, wood, fire, earth and metal. It focuses on
aligning the general layout of the dwelling and creating a balance in order to
enhance the flow of Chi. It seeks to do this through the strategic placing of
doors, windows, furniture, cots and stove. In addition, factors such as
ventilation, the source of water and levels of the land must be in the right
order so that the right place, approach and tuning can be achieved.
Nowadays there are many self-styled
experts on Vaasthu and Fengshui who have distorted their use through offers
like 'single window' services, often lumping it together with gemology,
astrology and numerology. It has become non-functional because of the wrong
advice imparted by such folk to clients. One must also remember that there is
no dwelling which can be described as being 100% Vaasthu or Fengshui perfect.
It certainly does not offer a remedy for controlling the force of birth of
death, but rather improves our capacity to think and function better.
In Singapore, the town has been planned
in keeping with the Fengshui texts known as the 'secrets of the 5 dragons,'
that involve mountains, water resources and the movement of traffic as mean of
creating prosperity for the country. In Taiwan and Malaysia, services of
Fengshui experts are often used to assess the value of the property and to
increase its worth before offering it to prospective buyers. Fengshui services
are included in the offer of a single window service by The Appraisal Institute
of Canada. Some great international corporations such as the Chase Manhattan
Bank, Citibank and Morgan Guaranty Trust in Hong Kong and Taiwan do not
hesitate to employ experts in this art for the help.
From the perspective of Fengshui, a
house is not just a physical structure but is an entity that can either nurture
your life or undermine it. It believes that the flow of Chi is what really
decides the value of your property. People are automatically attracted to a
home that has an abundance of positively flowing chi. There is a distinct
relationship between the value of a property and good Fengshui. Homes with good
Chi often command high prices in any neighborhood. Those homes that sit on the
market longest are the ones in which energy is blocked and stagnant.
Earlier it was considered ideal for a
home to have the famous Chinese green dragon-white tiger design in it. This
means that there should be certain levels in the house, e.g. the back should be
higher than the front and the right side should be lower than the left. This
was supposed to protect the centre of the house and was known as the armchair
design. Since it is difficult to create such levels in modern day life and as
we cannot control the shapes of neighbouring buildings, one could adapt the
method by planting trees or using lights mounted on poles to create a higher
back effect in a house.
Some guidelines are available to ensure
that your house is in harmony with the principles of Fengshui. One could
explore the area to see if the design is harmonious and has a sense of beauty.
Environmental pollution, the condition of sewage drains and the presence of
high tension wires etc., could be noted. The appearance of the front door of
the house is important. A front door has the ability to either welcome you or
drive you away. Opportunities are supposed to enter through it and it should
convey a feeling of pride.
