Does placement feng shui works?
« on: November 14, 2008, 01:11:37 AM »
Not sure where to post this, Meek ...you can move my post to wherever you think
is appropriate :)

Does placement feng shui works? For example placing of 3-legged toad, statute of laughing buddha and etc.... at certain locations ....or are they a waste of money and are only introduced to make us spend more money (psychologically makes us feel better because there is a cure and hence we think it works).

Hmm, u mean symbolic fengshui?

Personally i am not a practitioner of symbolic feng shui so i can't comment on the results.

But from what i know of, this method may be influenced by the living style of the royal family living in the palace. From what i know, almost everything in the palace have a auspicious meaning attached to it.

By right, everything on this earth have both "yin" and "yang" aspect and are also part of the 5 elements so maybe such objects do have their positive effect if the elements are correct (eg: to counter a certain element, use an element to exhaust it). Given that we know the correct element to use at that particular sector, no harm using something with an auspicious meaning attached to that element. (bonus)   :P

Yes, symbolic feng shui.

I agree with you karen, it does work to a certain extend, however some people seems
to be obsess in collecting all sort of items as instant remedies for all their feng shui problems.....every year, a lot of new items can be found in the market...which supposedly will bring good luck for that particular year.

Maybe psychologically it works as Feng Shui is about Qi and Yin/Yang. The outside form affects the inside more, so any placement should be probably done outside and not inside.

Those who are obsessed with such collection may feel more comfortable with these items around them thus it can help them psychologically and with a more positive mindset or heart (their own after surrounding themselves with such items), their confident level goes up so more or less, this might help in their overall luck ba?  :-\

I think we need to hear more feedback from people who are using this method to give us a better picture.... personally i do love the image of dragons and phoenix so having/wearing a jade or crystal in such design makes me feels very positive. But personally, i dun think symbolic item can takes in the place of the producing or countering of elements.  ;)

Maybe psychologically it works as Feng Shui is about Qi and Yin/Yang. The outside form affects the inside more, so any placement should be probably done outside and not inside.

Apartments does not favour placement of objects outside the house and most people in the past also have not place most Fengshui cure outside of their houses. To be more practical, unless we are staying in a landed property which is enclosed with wall/fencing and gate, and having camera installed, most of us won't wanna put our placement outside the house as there is the chance of breaking in. Fengshui should be fun and the aim of the overall results should be something that benefit our life instead of installing fear. Flexibility should be a major concern when auditing the fengshui as "chi" moves but we won't be shifting our house whenever the "chi" moves.

Mostly those Fengshui cure outside the house are in the form of features instead of objects. The use of landforms in fengshui should be considered as an important factor before we decide which house to take and after confirming the "chi" (landforms) and certain basic audit done outside the house, we would most probably emphasis more on the placement of fengshui cure inside the house as it give us more flexibility in terms of control. Also come think of it, how often would the landforms outside the house changes? Not very often right?

Even if we are staying in a landed property, if we were to emphasis our placement outside, then won't our house looks like a christmas tree?  ~2funny new decoration every year?

Not necessary only for the rich, in fact if we are using the elemental method, we need not spend too much on the item but we will need to place the right element at the right sector/position. But most of the time when a person is poor, the last thing on his mind will be getting someone to audit his fengshui as it cost quite alot of money to engage a master.  ;)
