Feng Shui Directory

Throughout the world Land Selection using the principles of Feng Shui is becoming popular. For generations, those living in the Asian countries of China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore etc have been utilizing the services of their Feng Shui masters to select land for them to build their dream homes, factories or commercial premises and also to find the most auspicious burial plots to ensure that each generation will benefit. It is big business and it is getting even bigger.

Since Feng Shui hit the West in the early 1990’s many are realising the benefits of using Feng Shui.

Location, Location, Location the mantra of Real Estate Agents is also the mantra of Feng Shui practitioners who have studied Luan Tou and who have a grasp of the Feng Shui classics e.g. Entering Earth’s Eye.

Practitioners will survey the environment to locate mountains and rivers. They are in fact seeing what type of Qi (energy) is present in the environment so that it can be harnessed to assist in achieving our objectives in life.

Qi comes from higher ground i.e. mountains and makes it way to lower ground and stops at the boundaries of water where it circulates. If the mountains are rocky Qi is unstable and if the area is very windy Qi is dispersed and cannot gather.

Different types and shapes of mountain will give different types of Qi to an area. If it is your reputation and position of status in the community that you are after, the Tan Lang Mountain is the one that you should be tapping into. The Tan Lang Mountain is also known as the Greedy Wolf and is a wood shaped mountain. If it is wealth you want then you would need to find an area that has a Ju Men or a Huge Door Mountain that looks similar to Table Mountain in Capetown. Having these types of mountains in your area are good but they also must be in the correct location to ensure that you will benefit from the type of Qi that they produce.

The next step is to locate water in your environment. Water also needs to be the right type of water and also in the right location. Stagnant dirty water, or rushing rapids is considered negative types of water. Sentimental water i.e. gentle moving water in rivers and streams, bays etc are positive types of water that is beneficial to the area.

So what if you are living in the built up areas of the city and there is a lack of these natural environment features? Most cities are not flat and there are small hills etc but buildings can be then considered as mountains and the roads are considered as virtual water.

Up until 2043 the best sites for land are seeing higher ground in the North East, North West, West or South with lower ground or preferably sentimental water in the South West, South East, East or North.

Once you have determined what is in your vicinity than you can start considering the block of land itself. Classical Feng Shui tenets state that square or rectangular blocks of land are the best. This is because the Qi will flow smoothly. Feng Shui practitioners will view the area for any negative forms such as pylons, other buildings, t-junctions, corners of roofs, lamp posts etc that will impede the flow of Qi to the residents. Using many techniques they are able to assess the negativity of these forms on the residents and will also advise at the same time the best locations for the driveways, doors etc.

Selecting land and building is a major investment for us all. Wouldn’t it be good to know that we have started off on the right foot by doing some external legwork first. The external environment is about 70% of your overall Feng Shui , if you get this right then the building itself can be fine tuned to the individuals date of birth. Adding in Date Selection for the initial ground breaking of the build and you are on your way to achieving your goals.
