all the time what Feng Shui elements do I need in my bedroom or door or kitchen or whatever the
room that you're focusing on to feng shui this simple question has a complicated process before
we even get to the answer first thing let me give you some foundational information about feng shui
this is a feng shui low shoe it's a three by three box three by three grid with these numbers one to
nine all over the boxes here I'm not gonna go through all those boxes but you will see one
two three four five six seven eight nine taking space in all of these nine boxes and each of
these boxes you're gonna see there's a direction that is link linked to them okay seven is in the
west six is in the Northwest one is in the north uh eight is in the Northeast three is in the East
and there's the number five which is in the center technically directionless okay so I'm not gonna go
through the like mythology of the low shoe and how it came about but the feng shui low shoe
is the foundational uh piece of calculation that we use over and over again not just in feng shui
application but also in Chinese date selection and even in some astrological references as well
so now that we know the low shoe if you've been following feng shui for any amount of
time you probably have seen this other chart if you've followed feng shui for any amount of time
you've probably seen this chart where again you get the numbers one to nine filled up in a three
by three low shoe grid you've probably heard that the element in the Southeast and the East is wood
the element in the south is fire the element in the west and the Northwest is metal the element
in the north is water and the element in the Northeast Center and the Southwest is Earth
this is where a formula for classical feng shui just gets like someone just decided to
run away with this simple formula and made it into a full-blown feng shui practice that is
not the real way to do it you guys just because your bedroom is in the Southeast doesn't mean
you paint your bedroom green just because your front door is in the South don't mean that you
paint your front door red that is absolutely not the way this low shoe is meant to be used at all
this is not the end-all and be all of feng shui in terms of the elements or the colors that you
need here on this screen you are going to see the Five Element cycle you have fire
earth metal water and wood and basically the numbers that I have in this three by three low
shoe grid I've transferred it up here okay okay so in this chart here this is the Five Element
cycle there's a clockwise and counterclockwise uh Arrow pattern here the clockwise pattern
which is in the dark gray is the productive cycle meaning the Earth element produces more metal the
metal element produces water the water element produces wood the wood element produces fire
and the fire element produces Earth and you're also going to see the counterclockwise here the
um dark yellow lines here which is the weakening cycle the fire element weakens wood the wood
weakens water water weakens metal metal weakens Earth and Earth weakens fire and you're gonna
see that I have the correlating numbers here right for all for all the elements here three
four is wood one is water and so on and so forth you need to know all this as a foundational for
anyone who is interested in feng shui you need to commit this Five Element cycle the productive
and weakening cycle to memory because this will determine ultimately what elements you need for
your home now again this is not the end-all and be all this isn't not even where we stop
so after knowing the elements and relating to the numbers after knowing the weakening cycle and the
producing cycle of the Five Element Cycles now we can start trying to piece things together to
figure out what elements you need in each of your directions or each of your rooms now you're going
to see this is a flying star chart period 8 house meaning the people in this house they moved in
after February 4th of 2004 I've got other videos talking about feng shui period so I'm not going
to go into that here and this house is facing south too meaning it's a between 172.6 degrees
and 187.5 degrees on the compass reading and again I've got more videos on that I'm not going to go
into the nitty-gritty of that here so this is now after knowing the period of the house and knowing
the direction of the house now we are able to plot the flying star chart of the home now this
my friends is the permanent energy of the home and all the top left numbers
okay all the top left numbers here correlate to energies that can impact health and relationship
and all the numbers on the top right of all these three by three boxes okay on the top right denotes
the energy that has impact on your money can be your career your business your Investments okay
and in more advanced Flying Star practices we actually look at the combinations
the combinations of the mountain star and the water Star right and each of these
these combinations hold another potential of energy whether it's positive or negative energy
now let's say this my my uh my office is in the West for instance the number six is a metal number
okay metal element number and the number one is a water element number for someone who's been doing
feng shui as long as I have 15 years I know that these are actually pretty harmonious the
number one in its location right now is actually really auspicious for money and therefore it's
actually really good to have the office here and I want to obviously increase the either
um higher salary through a career promotion more more clientele uh better luck with my investments
I want to activate the number one and the number one as we saw earlier is a water element
and I am also very lucky that I have the number six here which is a metal element
and guess what metal produces water right metal produces water so in this case if I
were to put more metal in this room right more metallic metal furniture
put my filing cabinet there and metal metal colors are whites Grays silver gold chrome
brass whatever this room will take very well to metal elements or metal color because of the
um elements that we have in the top left and the top right for this direction
okay I know for those of you guys if Flying Star feng shui is very new to you this will be
hurting your head a little bit but guess what this is how real feng shui is done you guys
I'm sorry to break it to you if no one has told you this if no one has told you that
the feng shui of your home is specific to your home for someone who moved in
um to a different house even if they have the same period but they are facing a different compass
then they would have a totally different energy here in the West
if someone who moved into a house prior to February 4th of 2004 let's say they
are they are period seven right let's say they're not period eight they're period
seven then the energy the whole all the energies here are different again
so I hate to break it to you you guys there is no one-size-fits-all feng shui real feng
shui is complicated real feng shui is hard to wrap your head around if you do feng shui right
it will go very well for you but if you do it wrong you will be triggering unsavory
results as well so true feng shui knowledge is very critical if you don't have the proper
functioning knowledge I actually prefer people to not practice feng shui at all it is better
be safe than sorry because feng shui is not just making a place look Zen it's not just to
declutter it's not all fun and gains feng shui it's actually very serious business
and I've seen a lot of people quote unquote experts who charge people their hard-earned money
and they end up putting their clients in dire situations feng shui is no joke
so bringing you guys back to this low shoe okay those of you who have been doing feng shui this
way guys it's not your fault because this is the bulk of the information you find online
in magazines heck even some you know feng shui certification courses are based on this
simple low shoe so the fact that you've been following this is because it is more prevalent
in mainstream media but it now hopefully you see that this is not the right one if you have been
following this low shoe and doing your uh element placements based on that and you're
getting results honestly it could be a fluke so for instance we already established for this house
right period facing uh South 2 that metal is a good element in the West
but if you've unknowingly been using this low shoe guess what is the element in the west here
right also metal so if you've been following this this simple ocean and doing your elements based
on that and getting results count yourself lucky in this case it actually matched up
it actually is the element that is needed in the West for this house but it's because of
the combinations here not because of the element in the west see the difference that I'm trying to
make clear for you here okay it's all layers and layers and layers of of formulas of calculating
before we even decide okay this is the color that needs to go into this room these are the elements
that need to go so if this is overwhelming you I am sorry I would prefer to make you overwhelmed
than put you in a spot where you keep doing DIY feng shui the wrong way and you dig yourself a
deeper hole because trust me after 15 years of doing this I see it over and over again the best
way for you to figure out what is real feng shui and what is not real feng shui at least where the
training is concerned is is it one size fits all or is it specific to each and every home
does it use a compass or does it not use a compass that's another tip okay so I'm sorry guys so like
I said that initial question of safrina what element do I need in such and such room I don't
know until I know your period you're facing and your usage of the room then I can help you
determine what elements or what colors you need in that room it's a complicated process you guys My
Hope for you your one main takeaway is your home and your layout is as unique as your thumbprint
