Hi, In the next couple of weeks I am planning on re-arranging my room to have good Feng Shui and good energies circulating in the bedroom. I only have one problem. When I was a little girl I was given the opportunity to buy a new bed by my parents. I obviously chose the iron/metal, love-heart swirly 4 poster bed because I was only little and, well, naive and girly. I am now a teenager and fully aware that metal beds conduct/circulate electricity and give bad energies, and since I have a lot of electricity in the room (computer, light plugs, electric blanket etc.) I am stuck. I asked my parents if I could sell my girly bed and use the money to buy a cheaper, simpler, wooden be from Ikea and have a profit of at least 100 bucks but they said no. Are there any cures for this?
i think you have some misconceptions about chinese fengshui.
what is fengshui about?
first forget about all what you have read about fengshui from books and websites. bec they will just confuse you. if you put all information from books and websites about fengshui, they won’t make any sense.
fengshui has many branches. this includes geomancy (or how our environment can affect our lives; most fengshui practitioners focus on this part of fengshui), face reading (analyze people based on their facial features), destiny calculation (using birthdates to analyze life), date calculation (calculating what good dates for moving, marriage, celebrations), etc.
geomancy/ fengshui is composed of many fengshui concepts, which arfe not mostly published in books/ websites. ms. lillian too has wrote many books about 8 mansions and flying stars (indirectly), and eva wong has written a book about flying stars method. but both have not taught the secret uses of these methods in any of their books.
i used to buy and read a lot of fengshui books before. but i got tired of them, and decided to learn from a couple of chinese fengshui masters.
the fengshui concepts have similar goals – they all calculate what areas in your house have good energy, and what areas have bad energy, based on the direction where your main front door faces. this energy can be calculated/ predicted and analyzed using the fengshui concepts/ methods, but this cannot be felt or sensed. each energy form located in specific locations in the house has its own distinct characteristics. to make your life good, you need to put the bedroom (or other living rooms/ or rooms you tend to live more) in the area where there is good energy, while leaving the areas with the bad energy alone as the garage, storage, less used toilets. using the areas with the good energy activates the good energy and you have a better life. leaving the areas with bad energy alone deactivates it, so no accidents happen in your life. this is what fengshui is about.
so, when you put your bedroom in an location in the house where there is good energy, then no matter how you arrange the bedroom furnitures – you will always have good fengshui/ life. and it does not matter if you use a wooden or metal bed.
how do you go about knowing the fengshui concepts? you can buy the book "advanced course in fengshui" by eva wong at amazon.com or learn it from somebody who knows it.
there are many fengshui concepts out there like flying stars, 8 mansions (east-west made popular by lillian too), water placements, xuan kong da gua, etc. i like flying stars more bec it is simple – that is if you get the hang of using it. and it is powerful enough to make a house have good fengshui. 8 mansions is simpler, but it is less powerful to have that significant change in one’s life.
you are over analyzing everything. don’t do that. you are just confusing yourself even more. learn about flying stars, buy the book by eva wong and try to use it in your house.
in fengshui, the whole house is always considered as a unit, even if you only spend most of your life in just 1 bedroom. the reason behind this is that the original energy or chi that comes into the house always passes through the main front door first, and is being distributed from there. likewise, if you are living in a condominium, the main front door is not the door of the unit, but the main door at the ground floor where everybody uses.
