Green dragons, white tigers, turtles, black-and your new home

Feng shui for the few people out there who have not heard, is the ancient Chinese science of determining and modifying effects of environment on our lives. If you listen to some of the allegations concerning feng shui, it holds all the secrets to health, wealth and happiness wrapped in a few coins and some wind chimes. All you have to is to anchor your home with a Black Turtle, Red Phoenix get a nest in front of him and find a white tiger and green dragon to protect his flanks. If all that looks suspiciously like semi-mystical mumbo jumbo, it may be because our practical English is not informed by the cultural mythology of China. Before you run seeking green dragon and white tiger statues, read and learn a little bit to find the perfect home with Feng Shui.

Feng shui offers in addition to energy forces that we can see and feel – like wind – there are unseen forces and not feel the energy that affect our body and mind. Some practitioners have attempted to explain these forces by using the metaphor of a magnet. We can not see the beautiful and repulsive forces themselves, but we can see the effects, if we try to push together the ends of two magnets evil. Magnetic forces repel each other.

In feng shui, life force is called chi (or qi). There are two opposite types of chi – yin, the female, passive, receptive force, and yang, the masculine force, and repulsive force. These forces are in constant flow and movement on, in and above the earth. Some land formations and structures can help attract, channels and two types of chi. This is the basic concept that underlies most practical feng shui.

So what does that have to do with picking the right house?

When you choose a home you are looking for friendly neighbors, good schools, distance to destination and from work and others point of view – why not look at the shapes of land and structures around the house and how they may or may not promote energy positive flow in your home – and stay with you? That is essentially what a consultant does feng shui – examines the flow of energy and made suggestions on Based on his observations. Ideally, a feng shui consultant will also want to know the birth dates of people who live in the house to help to make specific suggestions for the location of rooms and furniture, but there are some general guidelines for locating homes that could be useful.

In feng shui, every house has four guards. These guardians are given the names of Chinese mythical animals. If you stand in front of your house, left side is the place for the Green Dragon and the right is where you should find the White Tiger. At the rear of your home, it should be a black and tortoise in front of her, a Phoenix Red. The Green Dragon should be stronger than the white tiger. Black Turtle should be higher at home Red Phoenix and should be less at home.

Now, let's cut the poetry and speak good French. Ideally, your house must be protected on both sides and front and rear by a structure or land formation. You can see how the practice This advice is if you consider that wind is an energy force. If energy currents carry the life force, it only makes sense to find your way home is protected against the destructive forces, while inviting and the required protection.

Black Turtle

Feng Shui experts will tell you to search for Black Turtle behind your house. Black Turtle "carriers" of your home. Traditionally, a hill or mountain, but these days a wall or building behind your house can serve the same purpose. If you can find or build your house so that there land hill, mountain or other large forms behind it, Black Turtle will be back. Otherwise, you can always build a wall or plant a hedge of trees. Practically, it is best to protect your house from top, strong winds and lashing rains.

Red Phoenix

At the front, feng shui ideal home would have a lake, pool or meandering streams that encourage good energy to share and stay with your house. A field of grass or grass makes a good Red Phoenix, like a street with little traffic. According to feng shui wisdom, a house with a strong Red Phoenix, a road facing a very attended, will tend to drain energy from its residents. Imagine the stress of the unconscious constant rush and noise of a street busy right outside your windshield and you begin to see how he does all practical purposes.

Green Dragon and White Tiger

The house also conducive to the protection of right and left sides of the house, usually in the form of elevations – a hill, a wall, another building – even planting a hedge or fence may be the case. In feng shui terms, the green dragon and white tiger keeps your home (and you) against bad energy. In practical terms, they serve as screens and windbreaks.

What if you like the house has bad feng shui?

You could just figure that if you like home, feng shui can not be all bad. But all good feng shui consultant can recommend remedies to mitigate the bad feng shui. You can planting a hedge on the right side of the house to support the white tiger, or put a fountain in the front yard if your red phoenix needs help.

When you consider how many practical suggestions offered by Feng Shui consultants are not really surprising that many of the finest houses and warm, you'll have to good feng shui. If you do not believe me, look at the white tiger and green dragon next time you go shopping home. You see.
