Different Feng Shui Schools, easy teachings with Roseline Deleu

Feng Shui, two Chinese words Feng = Wind, Shui = Water. These two words translate in our world today as the “Art of Placement”. Through famous author Lillian Too who wrote over 100 books on the topic – these two Chinese words can often be daunting and confusing for many. There are many approaches (Schools) of Feng Shui; those that I follow, that I use for consultations, and that I teach to anyone who wish to become a Feng Shui consultant, are inspired by the Black Hat School and the Form Schools. That Feng Shui approach is easy to follow and based more on static magic square, intuition and landscapes, rather than worry of Compass directions (the latest being a more typical Asian approach).When Feng Shui started
Where our ancestors placed their huts/homes centuries ago, was based on common sense certainly protecting themselves and their family from cold winds (Feng) and floods or excess of water (Shui). This existed in ALL countries – yes, worldwide – hence why what we refer to Feng Shui today can be applied in all cultures while respecting some basic principles.

Chi is the most important component of Feng Shui. Chi is a life essence, a motivating force. It animates all things. This word could also be a synonym of cosmic breath or energy.

Encourage Healthy ChiThere are 3 different types of Chi that influence our lives:

1. Chi animates our bodies
The quality of our personal Chi can be improved with daily exercises, good food and a balanced life. It is part of your choices and responsibilities.

Ley Lines2. Chi circulates in the Earth
The Earth energies influence our health. Underground water veins and ley lines have to be detected before completing a physical healing process.

3. Chi permeates the universe
We cannot change our time of birth nor the stars in the sky at that particular moment. Heaven ChiFeng Shui relates this to Heaven Chi. In order to help us achieve life changes, consider heaven on earth and project it onto your home, sometimes to your office and daily surroundings. Placing your furniture to promote a gentle Chi flow alters your lives for the better! Would your astrology forecasts an accident on a particular day, having a correct Chi flow around you will decrease the strength of your life lesson and for example, you might just twist your ankle rather than crashing your new car.

Each kind of Chi influences the other. All of us possess a personal Chi. We vibrate; our aura expands and retracts depending on our health and moods. Our cells continually regenerate, yet our basic self is the same, that constant self is our personal Chi. Chi is the essence maintaining our physical and emotional balance, our environmental stability and the universal equilibrium.

Chi flows fast, slow, up, down, high low, in, out. It also rises, falls, sinks, floats, bends, twists, curves, inflates, and deflates.

Chi travels along curves, waves, spirals, mazes, labyrinths or straight lines. It pulses through electrical fields and disperses with the wind.

sha chiBad Chi
Negative Chi is called Sha Chi. Chi becomes Sha Chi when it carries unfavourable currents that will affect you negatively.

Sha Chi drips. It oozes through cracks, holes, broken windows and chipped items. It accumulates and stagnates in dead corners and sharp angles. Sha Chi is aggravated by bad smells, too bright lights and loud irritating noises. Sha Chi can be felt, sensed, smelled, heard and tasted. It is dangerous, sharp, rotten, contaminated, polluted, toxic and painful. It can be internal or external, hidden or apparent and it affects physical, mental, spiritual and social conditions.  Sha Chi is also produced on a grand scale by geographical faults and fissures in the earth.

Good Chi meanders

Sha Chi speeds

Easy Exercise about the Chi concept:

Look at your home with ‘Feng Shui’ eyes: do you feel that you have too many straight lines, a long corridor or any other Sha Chi around?

Get inspired from the cartoon illustrations and find your own ideas to turn Sha Chi feeling better at home webinto Chi to quickly reap the benefits – it often takes less than 9 days to feel the difference.

Place Grid on L shaped plan

Many readers have plans more complex than just a simple rectangle. Today, let’s see how you can place the Feng Shui Magic Square (grid) onto a “L” shaped plan following the Black Hat Feng Shui School principles. For the Black Hat school, your front door corresponds to the Chi Kou (mouth of the Chi) – no matter where you are in the world, your organs will always be placed at the same spot inside your body – hence why for the Black Hat placement the Chi Kou = your entry will always be in one of the 8 – 1 – 6 areas.

How to proceed and place the Ba Gua or Magic Square grid can be found in my E-book “Your First Easy Steps to Feng Shui” an easy to follow book filled with plenty of examples and tips.

liliane-plan-with-grid

This unit has 2 grids, the red one is the first one where Chi reaches. It is the principal grid. Second grid is the orange grid. Thus you have here 2 possibilities to adjust Feng Shui around your home, this is great!

Balconies are not included as they are outside the unit walls. They can be considered like your jacket pocket and can contain lots of interesting goodies 😉 … likewise on our balconies, we can add flowers and keep our entertaining areas clean and neat which all will contribute to activate Chi.

Feng Shui Yours,

House number 7

The apartment or house numbers ‘3’ , ‘8’ and ‘9’ have been posted recently and you can either click on blue highlighted links or scroll under this post. Today let’s have a look at the number ‘7’.

House numbers are believed to influence our lives at least to a certain extend.

house-7

Illustration of this article shows a house number  ’259’ which when we add  2+5+9 = 16 -> 1+6 = 7.
The 259 number also resonates with numbers 2, 5 and 9 that will be important to read in my previous and next posts.

Of course there is much more than a simple number to influence your life!

Seven is an interesting number in Feng Shui and symbolizes creativity, children, projects and ideas. Living in an ‘7’ house, to a several digits number adding to ‘7’ or a house number containing ‘7’ in the digits, has a positive influence on the creativity and fertility of its inhabitants.

Buying or living in a ‘7’ house could well be THE place where you (finally) become more creative, start new studies related with Art or Children. In a 7 house you look into new projects or even fall pregnant after having hesitated or waited many years!

For some of you, living in a ‘7’ house could well be where you finally are going to bring your projects into reality. You may have studied many avenues or followed lots of workshops and completed certificates over the past years – it is in a ‘7’ house that you will get that kick and make that step towards allowing you to put all this into practice.

Even though you may be living in the house with many members of your family – or – getting lots of visitors –  in the ‘7’ house you may feel sometimes alone or lonely. It is the perfect house to introspect – yes, your answer is within –  and thus grow and strengthen on a spiritual level.

All this and more can happen as long as your sector ‘7’ in your garden and inside your home – of course – carry the energies of the Metal element!

house-7

In the illustrated 259 house example, we can see a few chairs in the garden near the main house entrance. I usually recommend to use those chairs on a regular basis for meetings especially if they are in front of the house near where Chi enters (main entry). Unused chairs are stagnant likewise are chairs in front of an entry door where you sit on your own. They would slow the entering Chi and you may then find yourself struggling to change.

Reader feed back email on house number ‘7’

Dear Roseline,
I live in a seven house and yes I fell pregnant 5 times. My husband has been very creative in this house, cake decorating, airbrushing, chocolate and confectionary making. My youngest child is very creative and her craft spot is just inside the front door, if only she would keep this space neater! We also have a metal letterbox. Explains a lot! – C. R. Australia

EASY Feng Shui Steps – The Kitchen

The kitchen contains the most ‘Fire’ element around the house; it is where you prepare and cook meals. The kitchen is also the symbol of health so the position of appliances is important.

Traditional Feng Shui experts pay most attention to the location of the stove being in the ‘power position’ – which means facing the entering Chi. The chef should never be cooking turning his/her back to the Chi or the residents ‘health, wealth and personal relations could suffer.

In this regards, we have 2 different cycles:

1. The logic cycle – Food feeds a person’s health and effectiveness. So the better the food, the more capable the person and the larger his/her potential income… which in turn could well be improving the quality of his/her food.

2. The depressing cycle – The poorer the person, the words the food (generally), so he/she will get into that spiral downhill.

The ideal kitchen is spacious, brightly lit and well ventilated. A stove cramped in a corner will inhibit the cook’s movements and block Chi flow. The stove symbolises the home’s finances. It should be clean and work smoothly (so please check that all burners are in working order). The amount of use of burners can influence the prosperity of the family; the more burners the ore income. When burners are not used, the family is missing out of opportunities and may not prosper as well as they would like.

Feng Shui KitchenFig 1 – Feng Shui layout for your kitchen

a) Clearing clutter everyday is important. Put away any dishes and items that are not used daily
b) A stainless steel or glass splash back can be used to reflect the entering Chi if the stove is not in the power position (as illustrated on Fig 1). Stainless steel appliances could be used to create the same effect.
c) Make sure that all burners are in working order
d) Please leave fridge uncluttered, un-necessary magnets and bills won’t make your day!
e) Keep the work area clean and empty when not in use. The more things are stored away in cupboards, the better Chi will flow.

Enjoying cooking in a happy kitchen puts happiness into your food = Happy family!

NO-NOs for the Kitchen

– Decorating your kitchen or an overhead beam with hanging pots, utensils or empty baskets is not a good idea because they are usually are stagnant and collect dust. They are also considered inauspicious as they create lots of poison arrows and give the impression of a cluttered place.
– Put your knives out of sight as they encourage quarrels in the family.
– Hanging dried flowers or garlic strings = dead plants that would send too much Yin energy; store them instead in cupboards if needed.

GOOD ideas for the Kitchen

– Keeping a well stored refrigerator and pantry symbolises abundance as does a bowl of fresh fruit or vegetables on the kitchen table.
– be happy cooking in your kitchen; please avoid listening or watching the news (they are usually bad news anyway) , avoid depressing pictures, unpaid bills on the fridge door or photos of people or animals who passed away.
– Play harmonious and happy music while cooking so you put good energy into your food too.

chi, types of Chi

Chi is a life essence, a motivating force. It animates all things. This word could also be a synonym of cosmic breath or energy. Chi is also the most important component of Feng Shui.

3 different types of Chi influence our lives:

a)      Chi animates our bodies
The quality of our personal Chi can be improved with daily exercises, good food and a balanced life

b)      Chi circulates in the earth
Ley LinesThe earth energies influence our health. Underground water veins and ley lines have to be detected before completing a physical healing process.  This is why dowsing and water divining are part of my Feng Shui teaching and consulting.

c)      Chi permeates the universe
We cannot change our time of birth nor the stars in the sky at that particular moment. Feng Shui relates this to Heaven Chi. In order to help us achieve life change, I consider our heaven on earth and relate it mainly to our home, sometimes to our office and daily surroundings. Placing our furniture to promote a gentle Chi flow alters our lives for the better. If your astrology forecasts an accident on a particular day, having a correct Chi flow around you will decrease the strength of your life lesson and for example, you might just twist your ankle rather than crashing your new car.

Different types of CHI

Chi (pronounced chee) is the most important component of Feng Shui. Chi is life essence, a motivating force that animates all things. Chi could also be referred to as cosmic breath, energy, life force or prana. It maintains our physical and emotional balance, our environmental stability and universal equilibrium.

Our personal Chi
The first type of Chi animates our bodies. Each one of us possesses a personal Chi for we are not only flesh and bones! We vibrate. Our aura expands and retracts depending on our health and moods. Our cells continually regenerate yet our basic self is the same. That constant self is our personal Chi. The quality of our personal Chi can be enhanced with daily exercise, good food and a balanced way of living. If our Chi is blocked and not flowing, it will be reflected in our posture, moods, movements, the way we speak, appear and behave.

As ‘energy beings’ we vibrate. Depending on our health and moods, our aura will contract or expand.

Earth Chi
The second type of Chi circulates, spirals and meanders in the earth. If it moves near the surface of the earth, land appears fertile the weather is mild, the trees and vegetation grow, water and air quality is fresher and clearer. This is the optimum area to build a home. Wherever Chi recedes from the surface of the earth, nothing grows and desert landscape forms.

These Earth energies influence our health. Just like our bodies, the Earth has energy meridians and vortexes equivalent to what we know in acupuncture, chakra balancing and energy points.

Some earth energies can affect our health. Underground water veins and ley lines have to be discovered to complete a physical healing process. Dowsing and water divining are an important part of the Feng Shui study to find the best possible environment to live in.

The effect of ley lines and underground water veins can be seen in nature through how trees appear. Twisted trees could show that they are growing on ley line; branches pointing downwards reveal an underground water vein.

Heaven Chi
Chi permeates the universe. We cannot change the position of the stars and planets in the sky nor the time of that particular moment where we were born. Feng Shui relates this with Heaven Chi. Look at the concept of heaven being on earth and relate it to our homes, office and usual surroundings, by placing our furniture to promote a gentle Chi flow we can affect our lives for the better!

When your astrology reading forecasts a potential accident on a particular time of your life, having the correct Chi flow around you should decrease the severity of your life lesson and you might just twist your ankle rather than crashing your brand new car!
