Magnetic Effects in Feng Shui

One of the most tricky subject in the application of Feng Shui is Magnetic interference to Luopan measurement.

Some say you should take the measurement as it is while most masters say it should be free from magnetic interference.

To understand this is to first understand the relationship between Feng Shui and Magnetic Field.

Today I am going to share some of my views. No right nor wrong…they are just my views.

The universe undoubtedly is very much influenced by magnetic field. Magnetic field is every where and cannot be created, destroyed nor stopped but it can be manipulated.

Earth has huge magnetic field lines aligning itself from North to South Pole. You may imagine this way though it is not exactly the way it exist.

Feng Shui is the management of Qi or chinese way of expressing energy. In Feng shui the formulas was based on understanding where Universal Qi source is and how it flows and how we can modify/manipulate it to our benefit.

To measure is to know what Qi is coming (good or bad) and then decide how to manipulate it. If you agree with me up to this point, then you will agree that to know what Qi is coming, the way we measure it is very important.

To say stand 20m outside the house and take measurement is in my humble opinion not accurate.

To take the direction of door facing from the architect’s blue print is fundamentally wrong.

To take the door with the house grill locked is also wrong. Why? Metal affects the measurement of the Loupan (Compass) but it does not affect the Universal Magnetic field or rather too small to have significant effect.

So what is the right method? Shh….it’s a secret!

Wanna know more……stay tuned.

San Yuan & San He what is the big fuss?

There has been a constant debate who is better?  For Feng shui enthusiast that goes around reading blogs and forums around the globe, some of you will find both schools debating which is better school and to some extent criticizing the other schools.

So now you can see the nature of man creeps in even in the world of feng shui.

My view is that both schools has its own roots and advantages. San He is the oldest school of Feng Shui founded by Yang Yun Song and also produced many great Feng Shui Masters like Lai Bu Yi. They are based on the formation of landforms of Hills and Rivers and uses different sets of formulas.

San Yuan school came later and was founded by Jiang Da Hong. Jiang Da Hong was a imperial astrologer and San Yuan school came from the observation of stars and sun movement. San Yuan feng shui takes after the formation of stars like the big ursa etc.

So they are simply 2 approaches with the same objective. Feng shui undeniably is the art of tapping of good Qi for the benefit of mankind.  So why bother which method?

Here is a saying from Chairman Mao, Black cat or White cat doesn’t matter what is important is the cat must be able to catch the mouse.

As a feng shui practitioner, what is important is challenging ourselves to harness the best results for clients and not waste time in forums criticizing other school’s method.

Feng Shui: What is it?

Something unexplained it’s effect. You have to feel it to know it. You have to experience it to know.

Many a times when i get to listen to what others claim to know about feng shui, I can only say most of the time I am disappointed. The only reason is because they have read or listen to many ‘feng shui’ sources that give false representation of what actually Feng Shui is.

Many theories have been mixed with folk lore, Daoism, cultural believe and mixed theories.

For example, most people like to put Kwan Kung or Fu Dogs as a symbol of protection. Some others use elephant as a symbol of prosperity.

I was a skeptic before who was brought up with false understanding of Feng Shui and when ever things goes wrong they blame it on bad feng shui. This is totally untrue.

How can this be feng shui? Feng shui is about energy called Qi or more specifically Earth Qi.

Mountain and waters

Where the land forms exist from Mountains and Rivers there exist good Feng shui. Humans when able to tap good feng shui, life will be balanced enabling us to achieve better success and health.

Next round I will share more of what actually Feng Shui is and my journey into the feng shui world……
