Is Feng Shui only about Energy(CHI) and direction only no need to buy those Fengshui Items to place?

basically, fengshui is only about chi. this is true, but it becomes complicated because of the things it involves. for example, chi can be good and it can be bad. it can also be yin or yang, which is different from being good or bad. because yin chi can be good for you.





then each of the 5 elements has this chi.





the 5 elements are fire, earth, metal, water and wood. these can interact with each other, they either work together (enhancing cycle), or destroy each other. fire enhances earth, earth enhances metal, etc.; water destroys fire, fire destroys wood, etc.





some elements can be subdivided into their different characteristics. then in fengshui to make it easier, each of this elements is represented by a number from 1 to 9, just to make it easier to analyze. 1 for water, 9 for fire, 258 for earth, 67 for metal, and 34 for wood.





2,5 and 8 are all earth elements, but they all have different characteristics.





when each of these elements combine they form new chi, which has a new characteristic. and this characteristic can influence our lives. for example, 1 and 6 is a good combination for business because it can make us competitive, but it can also cause accidents esp when there are sharp objects around.





the nature of the lucky numbers are also derived from these characteristics. thus, the chinese like 111, 888, 829 as their car plate numbers. 829, others believed because when you say it cantonese it means becomes rich fast. but i believe that 829 is lucky because it is a double 10, which is regards as a "marriage" in fengshui - a very lucky thing. 8+2=10, and thus 1; 1+9=10; thus a double 10. but again the 2 which is also sickness is there remains to be dormant until the right time comes.

now imagine that every thing on earth is classified into an element. thus, 6, which is metal is also the head of a person, and 4, which is a wood, is also a rope, when you put these together, people can be suicidal.





then imagine that each degree on the 360 degrees can also be classified into these elements. thus,





north is water


south is fire


se and east are wood


west and nw are metal


the center, sw and ne are earth





to make this complicated. time, each second, hour, day, year, period (20 years), era (3 periods) all can be classified into this system.





thus, when a person, who is born at a specific date, we can get his/ her element, by using this system to calculate.





and when this person interact with things on specific date, the outcome can be calculated. thus there is destiny calculation in fengshui.





and because of this system. we also would know that a house with a door facing at a specific degree will have what kind of chi/ energy distribution in the house. thus, we can use each of these areas to optimize the life of the person.





this is fengshui.

you need to realize that fengshui has been on earth for more than 4,000 years of history. thus, people have made a lot of discoveries regarding special configurations. for example, in every successful casino, there is usually 3 points of entry, 1 for the general public, to make them want to spend whenever they use that entrance; 1 for the employees to make them work harder without them knowing it, and 1 for the owner, so that they will be luckier and successful.|||well knowing it not coming your direction will make a fool out of you to buy anythings to attract the chi toward you .......lol
