We need a European “Feng Shui“!
I believe we should learn to consciously shape our environment ourselves. We acquire the natural abilities for this healthy design with the methods of energy training, based on the tradition of classical Kundalini Yoga and Pranayama, with a wide range of information from Western culture and Asian Feng Shui. We then set up an energy pyramid, harmonize our environment, train our sensitive abilities and learn to recognize and correct disturbances. In this way, step by step, we will recognize what we need and what needs to be done, and in the end we can be sure that we are shaping our environment according to our needs and not according to the hidden motives of foreign masters.
According to the color theory of one of the great Feng Shui masters, which we have looked at in more detail, supporting and inhibiting colors are calculated for each room according to the Chinese birth numerology. The room is therefore tailored to its user. People with very different horoscopes therefore have considerable differences between the individual people in a family! Who has the same or a similar horoscope as their parents or children?
All other calculations as to which positions and wind directions in an apartment or house are conducive or not can also turn out quite differently for all family members according to this system. In one example, the master in a bank had planned a different entrance for easterners than for westerners etc., which then had to be taken into account. The entrance from the house (= mouth) is then determined exactly to the degree, other systems are consulted for control etc. etc.
The more this master developed his concept, the more confused and uncertain the bank managers concerned became. They wondered how all this was to be implemented! Should customers be assigned different entrances through which they could enter the bank?
One thing in particular was clear to me from this situation: this Feng Shui master had managed to influence everyone involved in a very targeted way in a very short time. The feeling arose that it was no longer possible to do business successfully without the master’s expert help! He had the group pretty well under control. They felt dependent on him, and that was probably the intention.
When I advise people or companies, I endeavor to lead my clients to a good result in the most direct way. I want my clients to understand what I am talking about, to understand my recommendations and to be able to make their own decisions to improve their company in the future. That is what I mean by good, serious advice. I dislike methods that make the client dependent on the consultant. My aim is for people to be independent and not dependent on masters and their methods.
The methods of Vasthu Shastra are not exactly easy to follow either. The Indians know a kind of step pyramid that is covered with gold foil. Similar to our modern energy pyramid(double pyramid), it is supposed to harmonize a house. The whole house is divided into different zones according to the pattern of a yogi lying in the house in a yoga position. Then the vibrations of the different rooms are determined, and finally this step pyramid is to be set up in accordance with the stars and the moon at a certain time. The whole system is so complicated that a master is needed to carry out the measurements and to determine the astrologically correct time at which this pyramid or other magical and ritual objects may and must be erected. So once again the great master is needed. Nothing works without him, at least not with these methods.
When I think of it all, you can get completely exhausted before you’ve even found a place to sleep or work!
The decisive things take place in our consciousness (if we have one) and our outside world is shaped by our mind, isn’t it? We are not a product of our environment, but our environment is a product of our thoughts and feelings! We shape this world according to our consciousness!
The aim should be to improve our awareness, train our attention and strengthen our personal power. Then we will create a good place to sleep and work in every home and set ourselves up in a way that makes life fun and builds us up instead of making us more and more insecure through a complicated, pseudo-scientific method.
From today, please focus on your personal development. Train yourself. Strengthen your personal power with energy training and pranayama. Harmonize your environment with an energy pyramid. Everything else will fall into place!
I cannot provide you with a Feng Shui book from my own pen. I don’t even think it’s necessary. There are already so many interesting books on this subject. You will have to read different ones. You have to think about it for yourself. With a little sensitive perception, with a little gut feeling, we can separate the grain from the chaff.
If you want to delve deeper into the teachings of Chinese masters, you should read the I Ching by Richard Wilhelm or the Tao Te King. These are really impressive writings.
I have also created a simple version of the I Ching for every day with dice specially developed for the I Ching. It is really amazing and amusing how well the I Ching , even in this simple form, always provides helpful suggestions for every conceivable situation. It also contains a collection of valuable sayings from Chinese and other masters.
