Universality of Feng Shui

Vaastuvidhya : Feng Shui is such an arrangement which can be implemented everywhere. That is why it is all pervading. In Feng Shui, Chi energy is the concept of life. In the traditional Chinese medical science Chi is accepted as the crux of life. A man’s age and health depends on the quantity and quality of this Chi. In China a young and healthy person is called full with Chi energy. Those who are weak and old are said to be lacking in Chi and deads are said to possess no Chi. In Feng Shui Chi energy is geographical element. It is present in the Earth and exists in plains and mountains in the form of streams. This Chi energy is different from a Man’s Chi energy. Chi energy is in proportion to the shape and sige of land. Place where any land form ends, Chi energy is collected continuously. Such a place is considered auspicious and good. For example termination of a mountain range at a place or merging of a river in a lake where chi energy is collected, life is happy and prosperous there. The more distance Chi energy travels on a land, the more auspicious it is. If Chi energy is halted due to some reason then it can be inauspicious. For example abrupt termination of a mountain range or obstruction created by man when he constructs a road, tunnel or canal and therby stops the flow of Chi energy. In Feng Shui earthly Chi and heavenly Chi have been differenciated. Earthly Chi is one that flows under the Earth whreas heavenly Chi is that energy which is in the wind. According to old Feng Shui scholars there should be some circular or running water source or mountains rich green trees all around makes powerful Chi energy. This is necessary as water and mountains stops destruction of Chi energy.

Chi energy is everwhere on earth. It is not affected by religion, country, caste or creed. That is why the knowledge of Feng Shui might have been born in China but it applies extensively throughout the world. Hence rules and systems of Feng Shui are omnipresent and have same effect everwhere and this is universality of Feng Shui. Some main items like mountains, water, wind, direction and time are such that they have their effect in all places. These points are briefly discussed below.
