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 realestate 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.
Another
important thing to note is the feel and smell of the house. Is there a light
and airy feeling or a dark and ominous effect? If it is situated on a blind
alley, the flow of chi will be blocked and will have no outlet. You must also
see whether the house is situated at a T-junction or a cross road. You should
also walk around and examine the house foundation, as it will eventually decide
your life experiences. It should be solid without any cracks. Symmetrical
shapes are ideal and offsets and angles should be avoided as they indicate
fragmentation.
A road is said
to conduct CHI energy throughout the environment and traffic movements. It is
not good to live near highways and busy roads.
Neither is it considered healthy to be situated at the end of a road or
at a T junction. In this case, putting up a hedge of healthy green plants would
act as a shield. On the other hand you could reposition the door or put up a
porch. Another method is to use mirrors, but one has to be careful of danger to
oncoming vehicles at night.
Buildings which
are at an eye-level with or under a flyover are not good as the home is likely
to feel drained of energy and oppressed. If the flyover appears to bend and cut
through the building it is particularly harmful and one way to avoid this is to
use dark glasses on the window panes. Another method to overcome the
overpowering effect of the flyover is to put up the lights at the four corners
of the house, focused towards the lower surface of the flyover.
A noteworthy
feature is whether the garage is detached or not. A detached garage is best as
it allows Chi to move around freely. You should also check the ceiling for
watermarks and make sure that there are plenty of windows. It is considered
inauspicious to have bathrooms and kitchens in the centre. Even if your home is having some basic features which are out of harmony with the guidelines
of Fengshui, it can be adapted though it may not be a perfect solution. Homes
of this kind are known to exhibit a remarkable change after being corrected
through the art of Fengshui.
Fengshui seeks
to make your dwelling place supportive to its occupants and gives practical
ways to adjust yourselves to the surroundings and the environment.
