Feel Your way in the dark
The best way I found to discover how the Chi of a
property or room flows, is to turn off all the lights.
Place maybe one candle in
the centre of the room, the less light the better, only just illuminating the
area for you to safely traverse your surroundings. Having no or very low
light, strips away the constant use and need of our vision to be involved. We
now-a-days rely more and more on our sight for indicators and stimuli throughout our lives.
But when dealing with the invisible energy of Chi, and in particular how and
where it flows and feels, relying on our sight can often impede our ability to
feel and use our deeper senses that can pick up the subtleties of Chi energy. I
stumbled upon this reasoning when I felt it necessary to move my office around
to improve my work area and furthermore performance. I found it worked much
better for myself, being a designer, I am even more tied up in the visual cortex
than most.
Chi energy can't be seen, it just is, so why don't we try to
get onto that level.
Starting from the doorway, and with
calm deliberation, slowly move around the room trying to sense any projections
that can be shooting poison arrows or very dark areas which may be collecting
negative Chi energy. You may also find areas that are slightly more difficult to
move through without the full aid of your vision, which will also be making the
flow of Chi less fluid.
You may get to an area which you feel simply needs a
little attention of space clearing or a pile of clutter which jumps out at you
that you never paid much attention to before. Clap your hands firmly to confirm
your findings, if it is dull sounding, clear any negative areas until your clap
is firm and loud.
Make a mental note of your findings during each
room, possibly writing your thoughts on a note pad for reference before starting
the next room.
The use of dowsing rods can help in following the
path of Chi flow in your property and can also give an indication of stuck
areas.
I found this low light method produces a further refinement to space arrangement.
Bringing up subtleties that the furniture or other effects may be having on the
room as a whole.
