One of the biggest lessons I learned when studying feng shui came from a 70 year old practitioner who told me, "Bill, there’s all these books out there with feng shui formulas. But these methods all come from common ancestors and one of the grandaddy books in this tradition says - on the very first page - that when you enter a place and feel the chi, then throw all those formulas out. You just go with your ability to detect the chi, and go from there. That what the rules TRY to capture, but of course if you can feel or sense the chi, that’s what you deal with."

So much for all these feng shui rules. The REAL thing to do is meditate, open up your chi channels, and then you’ll be able to feel chi and work feng shui. Yesthe formulas work, but this is where you should place your emphasis for as an esoteric art, feng shui’s job is to lift you up for the better, and so it’s actually pointing to the need for meditation.

Another big lesson I learned is that most places have remarkably unremakable feng shui, and so it doesn’t really matter for the common man (in most instances)…. Which is to be expected when you think about it.

And for the common man, fortune is almost always more improtant than feng shui, so doing good deeds and acts of merit, being taught good morals and behavior and how to act properly, wisely, skillfully and effectively .. and learning meditation are once again ways to improve your fortune. Work on these first, because the results of improvements in habits THIS WAY carry over to subsequent lives, whereas feng shui is just the environment you’re in now.

Are there chi flows from mountains that can make people rich, or produce artists and generals? Are there supernatural beings that give off chi large enough to affect and area?  Can you use the feng shui knowledge of chi for rainmaking and changing the weather in a region?
