Feng šuj, tako kot tradicionalna kitajska medicina, izvira iz stare Kitajske, natančneje iz I Chinga in taoizma. National Geographic razlaga feng šuj kot "starodavno kitajsko umetnost urejanja zgradb, predmetov in prostora v okolju, da bi dosegli harmonijo in ravnovesje na način, ki prinaša mir in blaginjo". Predstavlja vodilo in priporočilo za pravilno ureditev okolja, zunanjo energijo, ki v zameno vpliva na um in zdravje človeškega telesa, notranjo energijo.
Kaj je feng šuj? Vraževerje ali logično razmišljanje?
Razporeditev zgradb in predmetov ter organizacija prostora v prostorih lahko ustvarijo harmonijo in ravnovesje. Feng šuj se dobesedno prevaja kot feng 風 (veter, zrak) in shui 水 (voda). Feng šuj preučuje, kako se zrak in voda gibljeta in tako vplivata na energijo qi (氣). Glavni cilj feng šuja je 藏風納氣 - shraniti in usmerjati qi, da se okrepi podporna energija in čim bolj zmanjša negativne vplive.
Od našega dojemanja okolja je odvisno, kako razmišljamo in se obnašamo v življenju. Z vrsto simbolov lahko deluje kot projekcija podzavestnih misli ali pa obratno, vpliva na našo podzavest. Tu nastopi feng šuj kot orodje, ki vam pomaga oblikovati prostor, v katerem se boste počutili prijetno, močno in podprto pri doseganju svojih ciljev na področju zdravja in dobrega počutja.
Kako feng šuj razume in uravnoveša energije?
Podobno kot TKM, tudi feng šuj bere jin in jang, pet elementov, usmerjenost BaGua vsake komponente in si prizadeva za harmonično ravnovesje. Kot je zapisano v Knjigi sprememb (I Ching): "Vse se spreminja in vse je povezano." Kako se lahko človek poveže z naravo, je tako, da ob pravem času in na pravem mestu naredi pravo stvar. Zato na hitro spregovorimo o tem, kaj je treba in česa ne smemo početi pri feng šuju za dom.
Naredite to za boljši feng šuj
Omogočite naravno svetlobo in prezračevanje. Če je mogoče, postavite okna v skladu z naravno energijo (na severni polobli obrnjena proti jugu) in se izogibajte motnjam, ki jih je povzročil človek (ceste, avtoceste, hrupni prostori) ali narava (preblizu vode, močan veter, visoka vlažnost).
Z vhodnimi vrati in vhodnim prostorom naredite dober vtis. Glavna vhodna vrata morajo biti največja vrata z dobro zasebnostjo in varnostjo.
Imejte jasen namen vsakega območja in počistite nepotrebno navlako.
Aktivno območje, kot je dnevna soba/jedilnica, postavite v bližino glavnega vhoda, medtem ko mirno območje, kot je spalnica ali delovna soba, postavite stran od glavnega vhoda.
Za dnevno sobo izberite ogrevalno in spodbujevalno barvo, za spalnico pa umirjeno in sproščujočo barvo.
V spalnici naj bo veliko prostora za shranjevanje, vendar naj bo spalnica manjša od dnevne sobe.
Poznajte orientacijo/usmerjenost, zlasti poveljniški položaj (45 stopinj čez vhod).
Za kavč, vzglavje postelje in štedilnik imejte podporno hrbtišče.
Obesite vsebinsko pomembno in harmonično sliko.
Napolnite hladilnik in shrambo ter hkrati takoj odstranite pokvarjeno ali slabo hrano.
Postavite rastline na mesto, kjer lahko živijo, vendar se izogibajte ostrim rastlinam, kot so kaktusi. Najprimernejše so zelene listnate rastline.
Odstranite poškodovane stvari in odmrle rastline.
Uporabite ujemajoče se barve in izenačite višino predmetov, na primer nočnih omaric in stolov.
Omogočite prijeten prostor za udobno sedenje, druženje in prehranjevanje.
Tega ne počnite - tako se izognete slabemu feng šuju
V istem prostoru ne imejte preveč vrat ali pa vrata obrnjena druga proti drugim.
Naj glavna vhodna vrata niso obrnjena neposredno proti oknu/vratom, ki gledajo/vodijo ven, ali proti stopnišču/kuhinji/kopalnici.
Ne imejte izpostavljenih in neurejenih čevljev ali smeti v bližini glavnih vhodnih vrat.
Vzglavje postelje naj ne bo obrnjeno proti vratom, oknu, klimatski napravi, izpostavljenim ali stenskim cevem, v bližini kopalnice ali kuhinje ali kakršnim koli predmetov, ki bi lahko padli.
Posteljo ali kavč ne imejte pod tramom ali zgornjimi omarami ali visečo lučjo.
Ne imejte preveč ogledal, zrcalo pa naj ne bo obrnjeno proti postelji ali vratom.
Ne postavite štedilnika na sredino sobe ali ga obrnjenega proti umivalniku.
Ne postavite kopalnice na sredino celotnega tlorisa.
Ne imejte ostrih in koničastih predmetov, kot so meč, puščice, izpostavljen nož itd.
V spalnico, kuhinjo ali kopalnico ne postavite Bude ali drugih religijskih figur.
V spalnico ne postavite televizorja, športne opreme ali glasbenih inštrumentov.
V spalnico ne postavite fotografij, slik ali figur z očmi.
Feng Shui for Good Health
Feng Shui, just like Traditional Chinese medicine, is originated from the ancient China, more precisely the I Ching and Taoism. National Geographic explains Feng Shui as an “ancient Chinese art of arranging buildings, objects, and space in an environment to achieve harmony and balance in a way that will bring peace and prosperity.” It provides a guildline and reference for proper arrangments for the environment, the external energy, in return, it affects the human body’s mind and health, the internal energy.
What Is Feng Shui? Superstitions Or Logical Thinking?
The arrangement of buildings and objects and the organization of space within a room can create harmony and balance. Feng Shui directly translates to Feng 風 (wind, air) and Shui 水 (water). Feng Shui studies how the air and water flows thus affecting the energy Qi (氣). The main goal of Feng Shui is 藏風納氣- store and guide the Qi to enhance the supportive energy while minimizing negative impacts.
Our perception of environment can determine how we think and behave in life. Through a series of symbolism, it could work as a projection of subconscious thoughts; or, from the other way round, affect our subconscious mind. This is where feng shui comes in, as a tool to help you design a space that makes you feel clam, powerful, and supported in your health and wellness goals.
How Feng Shui Understand And Balance The Energies?
Just like TCM, Feng Shui read the Yin and Yang, Five Phases, BaGua orientation of each component then strive for a harmonious balance. As the IChing (The Book of Change) has stated:everything is changing and everything is connected. How man can integrate with the nature is by doing the right thing at the right time in the right place. So let’s quickly talk about the Dos and Don’ts for Feng Shui for Home.

Make a good impression with your front door and the entrance area. The main entrance door should be the largest door with good privacy and security.
