Feng Shui

Playing Laser Tag

The merging of energies is playing laser tag. They all intersect with one another, but if we accidentally block two intersections, then they go haywire. However, we can still see where the reflections deviate from the original point. This could be said with Feng Shui. 

When we think of Feng Shui, we often think of Koi ponds and moving un-necessary furniture everywhere without even understanding why. The koi ponds are peaceful, watching the energies of the water carry the fishes or having the energies interact with them. Whichever the case, these energies unintentionally connect with us despite them being below our threshold. It produces a calming effect that is meant to be therapeutic; the kind of effect we would have with a doggo resting on our chest. 

Feng Shui is much more common amongst Eastern countries, especially Asia where many believe in the superstitions as well as the harmony of energies coming together. While Eastern countries or Asia are more familiar with chi rather than chakras, it is a common theme. The balance of our chi or life source can be transmitted, projected out with Tai Chi. The practice of Tai Chi is being able to control our energies as they flow with the currents of the wind, unblocking parts of our body. Being able to control our own energetic forces takes a bunch of years, re-wiring and re-constructing our chi to flow the way we would want it to. However, it can still be done. Usually, when we have the right balance of chi, we can use them to protect ourselves or even for colder weather conditions. Many believe in these superstitions, especially the ones found in Feng Shui. There are many elements in which align with our birthday or the location of our home. Some people may find moving their bed to the right side luckier or moving their bed to the left by the window safer. Whichever the case may be, there is some confirmation that these energies work together to provide us the greatest protection we can have while residing in our homes. Energetic interferences come and go. Having the furniture or Buddhas, shrines, and other accessories a specific way, can give most of us a peace of mind from other dark energies that can tarnish our living space. Feng Shui can be seen as the Bermuda triangle of quantum physics. There is no specific fact that Feng Shui works, but there have been numerous accounts of it being able to reinforce the vibrancy as well as bliss we feel when surrounded by these structures. Still, it is difficult to say. It can either be the associations or attachments that increase the effects of Feng Shui, but there must be something else working behind the scenes. It is not just about the moving of furniture until we feel comfortable though. Playing laser tag with these energies generate a greater form of connectivity with the universe despite it being an indoor oasis. This greater connectivity is attached to intimacy as well as a nurturing element for the environment to prosper in. Feng Shui can make our living arrangements more personable, more conscious. It's superstitious Ikea that still intrigues us more or less. It is only satisfying to see how the structures play out as if we are watching a crispy, crunchy crackle of ASMR chipping away at jack knife soap. Depending on how it is structured, it can either represent minimalistic integrity or spontaneous freedom of vibrancy. 

Having the shrine in the middle, bed on the right near the window, couch on the left, and tv in the back can direct the energies in a coordinated matter. Rather than having items scattered around with greater risks of energetic interferences, the shrine becomes the marker in which directs all these energies, laser tagging them without fear of promoting more karma. The reduction of these energetic interferences and karma gives a greater sense of control as though we are part of a tribe, ready to defend our territory from unwanted invitations.  

Aside from Feng Shui, this could be the case with superstitions. There are numerous superstitions, ranging from black cats crossing our path as bad luck to not being able to go home right after a funeral. These superstitions are considered illogical, yet we still fear the unknown or what will actually happen despite not having proper evidence of the results. The energies have formulated and accumulated themselves in these superstitions, giving us enough warnings to stay away from there. It could be that before superstitions started to spread around and made their way on the world wide web, they did not have any powerful effect. It could be that we fulfilled some sort of prophecy with energies when we share and transfer them around, making them more powerful than it actually is. In some way, the energies in superstitions can be identical to confirmation bias or placebo effects in deceptive energies that soon translate as our vibrations. We can say that for most Asian countries, there is no power in 444. But, 4 represents death. Having 444 in anything or seeing it at any time can strike fear in us even though it is just thrice the number 4. We can say this applies to Room 13 where there are enough attachments and associations to these energies, altering how it is perceived. Our heuristics and schemas might even be threatened by these, taking on the fight or flight mode without us noticing. 

Indeed, Feng Shui and superstitions are not the only ones creating a direct channel to these energies. This can also be the case with gemstones, wands, potions, and so forth. These tools or toys increase the connectivity with all sorts of energies, pertaining to our environments. Any gemstone that is placed in a specific area will absorb those energies. However, each of these toys serves their own purpose and it takes a lot of effort to figure out where and what mixes the best way. As stated before, these energies are below our threshold. Some of us are more sensitive, allowing us a greater chance to experience these energies. However, some of us are not as sensitive, but we have the ability to sense our energies. All of these toys or tools are meant to transmute the energies, restoring them to their original, serene state. 

While our highly, skeptical selves question the uses of Feng Shui, there is no doubt that much of its structures have increased customer satisfaction or even greater amounts of connectivity within our day to day lives.
