This is the first time that I have associated the term “organic” with my field of expertise; yet, I am having a revelation regarding the manner in which the contemporary day feng shui practitioner conducts their evaluations and applications of the practice. It is essential for students of traditional Xuan Kong flying star schools to comprehend and make use of the five-element theory. Water, wood, fire, earth, and metal are the foundational categories for the five elements, which are also frequently referred to as the five phases or transformations (due to the fact that they are in a state of relative flux rather than being static). These components may materialize in a variety of ways, and they are capable of taking on meanings that are quite ethereal. Nevertheless, for the sake of this post, I’d want to focus on the more physical representations of these aspects that may be found in nature as well as when we recreate them in the interior of someone’s house or place of business. For instance, the effect of the earth element may be naturally happening on the property of another person, such as in the shape of a hill, stones in the terrain, or a brick wall. The earth element may be represented in the home by features such as a stone facade on the fireplace or granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom. Through the use of a clay or ceramic art piece, you are able to reintroduce the element into a space that has previously been devoid of it. When I consider these components as natural materials or chemicals found in our environment, I can’t help but question how much qi, or life force energy, they are still transmitting, considering the quantity of pollution that exists in our globe at the present time. Let’s face it: not only is the air contaminated, but the soil and plant life on it have been decimated as well. Is there any evidence that the potency of any of the elements has been diminished by any significant amount as a result of pollution or any other introduction of chemicals? Not only that, but the cycles of our seasons and climates are becoming more unpredictable, which may also throw off the natural order of the elements as they are found in the world. If a certain flower, which typically blooms in April, suddenly has an unpredictable schedule because of global warming or anything else that is off kilter, then we have no choice but to conclude that this will have a knock-on impact on us as people. It’s possible that this is on par with the loss of bees, which is having a huge impact on our ability to provide food for ourselves and our communities. There is a worrying trend that is continuing, which is that boys and girls are entering puberty at an earlier age. This is in part due to the hormones that are absorbed in factory-farmed beef. Therefore, as practitioners of Feng Shui, when we designate specific components as “remedies” or make alterations to a particular area for a certain cause, are the elements that we are dealing with considered to be “organic?” I ask this question in the context of determining whether or not the elements still resonate with the same amount of energy as they did a thousand years ago. Can we anticipate the same conclusion, or should we prepare for something less powerful? Will the end outcome have some kind of mutant consequence that we won’t even be able to recognize? Does the frequency of the water in our fountain (small tai ji) or the water in the ocean (large tai ji) have the same frequency as water that was purer many years ago? I am well aware that my customers have lofty goals in mind for what a Feng Shui consultation might do for them, particularly in the event that they implement each and every one of the consultant’s suggestions. However, I can’t help but think about the state of the raw resources that we’re using to aid people. Are they in good enough shape? Because of the lack of essential nutrients in our meals, many people have started taking additional vitamins and supplements. Perhaps the quantity or dose of elements that we suggest should also take into consideration the fact that these substances are now in a depleted state. One area that may be connected to this is the fact that we live in an environment that is filled with so many man-made materials, which may obstruct the normally permeable connection that exists between the human aura and natural components. If we want the raw organic materials to make us stronger or more balanced, what may be getting in the way of achieving that goal? and is there a possibility that it is connected in any way to the synthetic fibers and materials that we surround ourselves with? It is recommended, under the macrobiotic way of life, that individuals not only consume natural food but also dress in clothes made entirely of natural materials. Can we then, at some point in the future, talk about whether or not a house has “good” feng shui based on the percentage of raw materials versus synthetic materials used for the structure, the contents contained within, the pesticides used to maintain the landscape, and even the interior cleaning solvents used? Even though this has become a sound bite or a cliché, the actual repercussions are there when the “harmony” has been disrupted. Feng shui is about living in harmony with nature, and even though this has become a sound bite or a cliché, the real ramifications are there.
