Feng Shui Cures by Joani Nunez

The Feng Shui Forum:
Feng Shui Cures

I'd like to continue last month's Forum theme exploring possible reasons for apparent Feng Shui ineffectiveness. In that column we covered the application of elements as they strengthen or diminish the different areas of the ba-gua. We also spoke about how the adjustments build on and strengthen one another, and that when these things are misunderstood or misapplied, we have little or no results from our Feng Shui.

Similarly, another reason for poor results can be that the cure used is not quite powerful enough to give the desired results. A simple example of this would be a lead glass crystal ball that is too small. Sometimes people will hang a 20 or 30 millimeter crystal instead of the suggested 40 or 50 millimeter crystal in an attempt to save some money. Not understanding exactly how the cure works, they reason that a smaller one will work just as well. We could liken this to using a drain plug that is too small for the drain. It may slow the flow of water, but it's not going to keep it in the basin!

Another example would be using a large and heavy object to slow down or anchor energy that turns out to be not quite large or heavy enough. Or, we may choose a plant that does not grow straight and tall in the necessary way, perhaps we choose one that grows out and down because we think it's more attractive. These seemingly subtle things can profoundly affect the flow of chi, thus giving us varying results.

Sometimes people assume that one kind of cure is as good as another, again not understanding the inherent quality of each cure, and therefore applying a cure that will not give the desired effect. If a situation that requires a grounding, stabilizing adjustment is treated with a cure that stimulates or disperses energy, then an already difficult situation may become even more so. Skill in application is important.

Black Hat Feng Shui holds that intent is extremely important in the application of our cures. A strong vision and prayerful attitude work to activate an adjustment, adding to its inherent power. If an adjustment seems to be disappointing in its results, you may need to go back and "bless" it, filling it with the chi of intention and prayer.

And sometimes, Feng Shui, even good and powerful Feng Shui, is not going to completely effect the desired change. I have heard that Master Lin Yun will on occasion tell someone that they do not need Feng Shui adjustment, they need counseling!

Having encountered similar situations in my own Feng Shui consulting, I know that sometimes people would rather say Feng Shui did not work than face the suggestion of counseling or recovery work. However, even in situations like these, good but unexpected results can still be obtained by focusing on the Knowledge and Benefactors gua. And now for a quick "Feng Shui Across America" update.

Several Forums ago I mentioned that a national Feng Shui volunteer project was about to get underway. It involves the donation of the time, funds, and skill necessary to completely Feng Shui 108 Aids care-giving facilities by September 27, 1998.

On January 4, a number of consultants and other interested lightworkers met with Nancy Santo Pietro, the project's founder, here in Houston. So locally, we are off and running! I met with the director of a local Aids hospice on January 12, and they are delighted to be one of beneficiaries of this project.

My thanks to Feng Shui Forum reader, Debbie Reid, who was able to connect me with the hospice director at the facility where she so generously serves as a volunteer. We will be raising funds locally for the Houston-based project, and any donations are tax deductible.

Please give me a call if you are interested in donating financially to this project. Donations of goods and time are also gratefully accepted. Our next meeting will be on Sunday, Feb.1. A friend and Feng Shui colleague from Austin will be attending so that she can take the information we've gathered here, and get the project started in Austin. And so the chi of this great project.
