What is the biggest problem with Feng Shui? It’s the human heart.
Netizens who often watch "33 Days of Decoration" must know that I do not recommend considering Feng Shui issues in interior decoration, for many reasons. I don’t study Feng Shui myself, and I don’t understand Feng Shui theory, but I have read an article about Feng Shui on the Internet before, and I agree with it. The author is Master Jingjing.
He said that Feng Shui as he understood it was actually very simple. He had never studied Feng Shui, but when he understood a little bit of Buddhism, he seemed to know what Feng Shui was and where it was.
In Master Jingjing's view, "wind" means atmosphere and field energy, and "water" means flow and change. There are five aspects of Feng Shui. I think this theory is suitable whether used in decoration or in life:
Eyes. Is the place we see beautiful and makes us feel comfortable? If the place you see is beautiful and comfortable, the feng shui of this place is good.
Ears. What is heard is whether the sound is pleasant or noise. If the sound is nice, the feng shui will be good, but if there is noise, the feng shui will be bad. For example, if a house near a highway makes a lot of noise, its feng shui will naturally not be good. In fact, the biggest noise occurs in the house, and that is family discord - quarrels, which are very harmful to people, have great obstacles to their destiny, and have a greater impact on the growth of children. Therefore, the home must be harmonious and family members must communicate with each other so that there are no obstacles and this is good Feng Shui. Therefore, the ancients said that everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious (good Feng Shui).
Nose. Does the smell smell good or not? If you can often burn incense or place fragrant flowers in your home, and the smell will be good when you enter the house, it will naturally be good for Feng Shui. If the place you are in smells bad, it is not good feng shui.
Body. Do you have too much stainless steel, too much glass, too many sharp objects in your home? Stainless steel feels cold to people, and glass is also cold and fragile. These things can easily harm our bodies, so they are not good for Feng Shui. You should not have too many of these things in your home. You should also pay special attention to the plants you raise at home. Keep broad-leaf plants. Coniferous plants can easily hurt the body.
Awareness. Just close your eyes and feel with your heart whether a place is peaceful and comfortable. It is the sense of magnetic field and aura that is tangible and unexpected. For example, if a room is neatly and beautifully arranged and can make people feel happy and beautiful, the Feng Shui of this house will be very good. If it is cluttered and makes people feel depressed and irritated at first glance, this is bad Feng Shui. This also reminds us that we usuallyBe sure to keep your home and work environment clean and orderly. Neatness itself is a positive energy.
In general, Feng Shui is judged through these five aspects: eyes, ears, nose, body, and mind. It is the five remaining roots after excluding the tongue root from the six roots mentioned in Buddhism. This method can be learned by everyone.
When Master Jingjing traveled to Huangshan Mountain in 2004, he lived in a small temple at the bottom of Huangshan Mountain. I met a person who told Master Jingjing that he had studied Feng Shui, and then criticized the society for being bad, someone was bad, this place was bad, and the owner had not built it well. Master Jingjing said to him, "I feel like you don't understand Feng Shui." He seriously emphasized that he really understood Feng Shui. Master Jingjing emphasized again and said, "You really don't understand Feng Shui." Why? He only understands the outward appearance of Feng Shui, but does not understand the inner workings of Feng Shui. If a person only cares about the location and decoration, but not about human factors, he actually does not fully understand Feng Shui.
Of all the feng shui, what is the first feng shui? It's people. What is a person’s first feng shui? It's the heart. Therefore, the most important thing about Feng Shui is to change yourself. If you change yourself and your heart, all kinds of problems caused by Feng Shui, such as misfortunes and diseases, will naturally disappear.
Master Jingjing explained the Feng Shui issue from another perspective, which I think is quite useful. If you want to be healthy, you have to pay attention to your diet and exercise; if you want to make money, you have to work hard; if you want to make progress, you have to keep learning and improving yourself.
In interior decoration, practicality and beauty are both Feng Shui, both to make your life more comfortable. In fact, you can just judge according to common sense in life, and there is no need to study Feng Shui theory.
Wherever you place the God of Wealth and where you place the Guan Gong, these are just good wishes. It is meaningless just to forward the koi. The key is to rely on your own efforts.
The old saying goes well: If a blessed person lives in a blessed place, his family and everything will be prosperous.
