Items to Keep Away from Home
- A Fengshui Tip

3 Mar 2008

From a fengshui point of view, our tangible world is formulated by qi, and qi is the intengible force in the universe which is swayed by our mental states and emotions. On the other hand, as the tangible world is formed by harnessed qi, it is relatively stable and frames hurdles and channels to shape the flow of the highly fluent and volatile information energy. In this regard, it is recommended to think beyond the functional and visual representations when decorating your home or office, and take into account the effects that the physical world would have on the content quality and flowing patten of qi. Below are few items among many that are identified by some Chinese fengshui fans as better to keep away from our immediate invironment:

1) Ancient coins

In old days, coins were frequently used by shamans to mediate communications between our yang world and the yin world. If the coins in your collection were used as such, they could become magnets that draw a large number of yin beings through your door.

2) Old clothing with unknown origin

Nothing would absorb more personal qi from a particular human being than his/her garments. For clothing worn by someone during his/her dying days, the information energy associated to decay and death will be overwhelmingly strong and intense.

3) Animal fur and human hair

They were organic parts of the living beings, therefore contain the whole set of information corresponding to the mental and emotional states of the animal that is killed or the person who might be victimized.

4) Thorny plants

Although this tyle of platation is easy to manager, fengshui regards thorny and prickly plants as ominous for possessing aggressive and violent energies. Traditionally in China, it is only used to ward off the threatening qi in a time of disaster.

5) Think curtain

Think certains would stop light, the transmitting line of yang qi - the nurturing force of human lives - from entering the room. In a place where the yang qi is weak, the yin qi growns, and the beings dwelling in the yin world would thus fill the space (and that explains why we only see ghostly beings in dim or dark areas).
