Five Element Cures (Wu Xing)

Dear Jason, You many need to double check if you selected weak earth. And for that module because the changes is very minor, sometimes you may be viewing the cached version either at your ISPs proxy server or your browsers cache, just refresh the page and you should be able to solve this problem. Basically, the first portion of the report tells you the inter-relationship between the other elements and your main element. The next portion tells you the detailed elements which are favourable or unfavourable to you. The table at the bottom of the report will provide some examples, as this portion is pretty complex, it will not provide every possible relationship instead provi…

Under symbolism in Feng Shui, artifical plants may be used to represent the wood element. Especially in a water feature or if a young couple has no time to water the plants everyday.

These are some considerations: 1. The main consideration is based on cultural sensitivities (if any). 2. Other than that; why is there a need to beholden to one's favourable or unfavourable element. This does not make sense? 3. For example, take an example of a 1 or 2 carat diamond. You think a girl friend who's element is unfavourable to diamond would refuse it. 4. Please note that this area has nothing to do with Feng Shui or what ever. 5. Given a gift is not like one is fixed or glued to the gift. 6. Please don't be one of the very first to be obnoxious with such things. 7. There are more important things in life than such "peanuts".

Under the five elements concept: although gold colour represents the metal element. But often, gold may also look like yellow. Thus if a room or sector particularly has nasty #5 bad yellow; yellow colour is not ideal for that room. And on the safe side; try to avoid anything that may possibly look like yellow in a sector. In this case, this yellow globe can look like yellow even if it is "gold".

In my view, the following are some important considerations: 1. The concept is that one is not wedded to the waterfall itself, but rather situated close to it. 1.1. One might be apprehensive about being married to a waterfall. However, since this is not a lasting arrangement, and provided that the waterfall does not disrupt the ceremony—such as water splashing onto guests or food—it is generally acceptable. 1.2. Alternatively, if the sound of the waterfall significantly overwhelms the atmosphere and disrupts the announcements and activities of the wedding. 2. Most of the aforementioned points relate to common sense. 3. Auto-suggestion and self-ful…

Dear Sharron, No, it does not mean that. You can still wear red if you want to. Five elements is in itself a complex theory. One should try to gain balance from the various elements. For example, if from the Pillars of Destiny you find that you lack of Earth. Then the best personal cure to apply is to wear Earth colour clothings to gain back the balance. It is like saying a human body, should have a well balance food diet. Too much of sugar, salt, etc is not good right? But without any sugar and salt, your body will also complain right? So the essence of the Five Element is to allow a balance in you. This means that even if a certain amount of element is bad for you, this…

Dear Michelle, Sorry, can you clarify how you derive " Water & earth in my living room " is it because one part of your living room has the Water (North) and I assume North East is the (Earth)? Usually when we apply the 5 elements concept we do not have a `pairing' like what you suggested e.g. earth or water, metal and fire. But rather, a more accurate way is check a person's main element and strength. For example if the person's main element is Strong Fire and his bedroom is located at the North. We can introduce the colour blue in his bedroom to cool down his strong fire. This is based on the Principle of equilbrium i.e. a person's element should not be either Stron…

Dear Michelle, As a novice, you can feel your way around by doing what you have done... to do check the degree of suitability of your home with your personal `kua' using the Eight House Theory. I am not sure if you have read this url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm as it provides a step-by-step guide as how you can `quickly' do a Eight House Audit of your home. In this step-by-step guide the following are what you can do:- 1. Firstly, find the centre of the house. 2. Mark it down on a copy of your house layout plan. 3. Stand in the centre of the house and from this position, use an ordinary compass and find out the direction of the main entrance door. If your door …

Dear Rose, Thanks again for your observation skills! -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'five-element-cures' suppressed 'five-element-cures' suppressed> Date: Saturday, May 08, 1999 4:24 PM Subject: 5-Element Associated Behaviours / Symptoms I have actually covered this in the Applied Feng Shui course. Briefly, this `observation' is based on the Yin and Yang theory. For example if you take salty food.. (which is Yang) you tend to need liquid (Yin). If a person sufffers a heart attack (Yang) one needs Rest (Yin). The above is based on the philosophy of Tai Ji. Yes, this makes sense. You have correctly explained it using the Five Ele…

Dear Rose, What you have described is based on the Eight Aspirations or Life Aspirations or Associations. It is based on interpretation of each of the Eight Trigrams. As each of the Trigrams has a direction, therefore many Feng Shui authors like to write about it in their books. Like you have cleverly deduced, that it is too general and does not take into account NOT even a person's Gua number, and thus more easy for book authors to write about. Even the Eight House Theory takes into account our personal Gua number and thus, it can be considered to be personalised to each of us. But the Eight Aspirations or associations e.g. South-West = Romance or Relationship is too gen…

Dear Rose, The best shape of a fish tank is either rectangular or round. A hexagonal shaped fish tank is associated with the water element and is considered OK. Avoid a fish tank that is triangular in shape (fire element) and square (earth shape). The above information plus the one mentioned by Eve can be found in my first book.

Hi, Please read below:- Yes, that analysis breaks down the problem to the related element suitable to solve this problem. This actually means that you can make use of elements recommended to cure that location. It is not possible to put in all the various type of cures because each location is specific. What if Wood is recommended, but in your pillars you are a strong wood, thus, another alternative may be necessary. So by leaving it there, it allows for more interpretation and comparision. If you are uncertain you can always post a message to us for help. Basically, by leaving it to basic element, you can use any of what you have mentioned or suggested by the Five E…
