In some sense, it can be said that Feng Shui, as a science about our environment, is about manipulating and using the unseen energies that surround us. The flows of Chi, according to the teaching of Feng Shui, can either positively or negatively influence all the aspects of our lives. Therefore, the task of a Feng Shui master is to bring such Chi flows to the most favorable for people course, so that the flows of energy inside and outside of the dwelling work for the good of the dwellers.
Chi and Money Carried by Rivers and Roads
Chi flows are frequently compared to rivers or streams. At the same time, rivers, streams and other water features are believed to be the most powerful carriers of Chi. in cities, however, this function is carried out by roads, sidewalks and paths. Therefore, both rivers and roads carry energy through space.
In China water is frequently associated with money. So, it is always good when a road or a river is dodging near your home. A favorable movement of water is very likely to have a positive impact on the home’s income.
Fast, Slow and Medium Flows of Energy
The flow of water should not be too fast, so that the money don’t go past at speed, or too slow – so that you don‘t experience lack of income. This means that if a house faces a highway, for instance, which can be compared to a fast river, it will be rather difficult for the home owners to plan their spending effectively, because their income and prosperity will be exposed to frequent and fast changes – money will be coming and going very fast.
If, on the contrary, a house is located near a smooth bend of a road with medium traffic, the financial situation of the owners will be much better and more stable.
A house at a crossroads is not the worst option if the flow of Sha Chi is not heading for the front door. Such peculiarities should be considered when buying or building a house.
All, streets, roads and railways, play an important role in distribution of Chi. Therefore, such surrounding elements of urban architecture should be paid much attention to when deciding on where to live. A favorable location of the house will help the owners to attract wealth and money. Similarly, too active or too slow flows of Chi might have a disastrous impact on people’s lives.
