Reméde Feng Shui

This hub explains the concepts of ‘reméde feng shui', also known in English as the feng shui remedy. Feng shui is the ancient Chinese practice of placing items in the environment to maximize the flow of ‘chi' or energy into your life. Feng shui is a two-pronged process - prevention and remedy. Prevention is always the preferred option to reméde feng shui, as it is always easier to stop something before it happens than to fix it later. My other hubs cover a number of typical feng shui preventions, such as rearranging furniture, repainting your rooms and the sort. This purpose of this hub is to focus on reméde feng shui to address problems that cannot be solved any other way.

Remedies

One of the most cited reméde feng shui is the feng shui bamboo flute. This particular remedy is also one of the most misunderstood in feng shui lore. I've heard stories of people equating flutes to war pipes, African herald flutes and the sort. It's been said that the bamboo flute provides an ‘energy push' to energy in the room, adding power, safety, peace and endurance. This is far from the truth. The bamboo flute is not an essential reméde feng shui, but rather just a wood element item. It does not address the problem of exposed beams, and it certainly does not symbolize the constant arrival of good news into the home or workplace. The unfortunate thing is that most feng shui practitioners are really well meaning, if somewhat misguided when it comes to popularized reméde feng shui like the bamboo flute.

Another popular reméde feng shui is the bamboo plant. Bamboo is an exceptional plant. It's strong, hardy, grows in almost all conditions and very low maintenance. This makes it ideal for use in feng shui, because it represents all the elements and characteristics that we wish to draw into our lives. There actually two forms of bamboo used as reméde feng shui - the full-size bamboo plant, and "lucky bamboo". The full-size bamboo plant is obviously that found naturally, and if you have the space in your home I do recommend choosing the larger plant. The "lucky bamboo" plant is basically a bonsai bamboo plant - it's a smaller version that is found in nurseries across the country, and is very auspicious (just make sure you buy the right number of stalks). Be careful though - the smaller plant isn't actually bamboo, and as such the requirements of care are slightly different and a bit more strenuous than normal bamboo.

Placement

When deciding how to apply reméde feng shui to your environment, you must use what's known as the bagua. I have an excellent and brief explanation of the bagua over at this hub, "feng shui in the home". There are two schools of thought about how the bagua should be used, but generally it tells you which areas of a given space should contain which cures. Regardless of which orientation you use, the "guas" or aspects of the bagua are always the same. For example, the fame aspect is dominated by the color red, and should contain red reméde feng shui. The family gua is associated with green items. The career gua can be enhanced used water features or darker items. The wealth gua is tied with purple and red colors. The child gua should be distinctly white, and is a great place for placing crystals. The knowledge gua is earthy and should contain black, green or blue reméde feng shui.
