Is this not the quentisential question?
What is the single most important thing in Feng Shui?
Direction? Location? Inside? Outside? Colour? Symbols? What can change the Feng Shui of a place for the better or worse more than anything?
I believe it is the access to Qi (收气).
Why is that a whole row of houses that have the same direction, same layout- have such different Feng Shui? Why is that some businesses prosper without the need of “nice looking mountains” or “water”? Why is it that some homes with the best location have terrible Feng Shui?
Don’t get me wrong. The correct layout and direction is important, but this is not always possible. The best location is essential but not everyone can afford it. Symbols and cures can boost the Qi and heal Feng Shui ailments- but nothing beats having a clear, clean and powerful access to Qi.
Rule of thumbs:
- Qi flows from higher ground to lower ground.
- It collects in open spaces (carparks, junctions, fields, parks, etc).
- It is better to have your door level with the road or slightly lower.
- It is better to have an unobstructed view of the source of Qi.
- It is better to have your door angled at the source of Qi.
- It is essential that there are no open drains directly in front of your door as this will block the Qi from entering.
So if you are buying or renting a new place, remember- Access to Qi. Then go about measuring the direction, location, placing your symbols and arranging your cures.
