We had seen a lot of countries and places with archways. Do these Archways had anything to do with Feng Shui? The answer is YES.
What is an archway?
1. An archway is a doorway/gateway having a curved head. An archway can be situated at the entrance of a village/city/town. The Feng Shui of the archway is important as it could influence the Feng Shui of the whole village/city
2. The archway can be situated at the entrance of a house. Many do not know that the archway of houses could influence the Feng Shui of the occupants.
The location of archways is one of the important criteria that should be considered in the study of Feng Shui.
An archway cannot be simply built because
it will affect the luck, wealth and descendants of the villagers. Wrongly
structured archway may cause endless trouble to the whole village.
These are the 5 points that you have to
take note and adhere to.
It is very important that a prosperous
location is chosen because only then, the village will benefit from it. They
will gain better wealth, becoming more successful economically and it will
benefit all the villagers in the sense of having better health and being able
to have a successful and powerful future.
Just like building a temple in the village,
it also needs to have good Feng Shui. As much as humans need good Feng Shui,
this applies to the Gods too. If the Feng Shui of the temple in the village is
good, the villagers will be blessed and benefited by it.
If constructed in a bad sector, the
villagers will be in trouble. They will face bad economy, the
villagers will become jobless and they will
not have the chance to be successful.
If the appearance of the archway does not look
stable, it signifies that the foundation of the archway is not strong. This
will cause the villagers to be unable to stand out. They will not gain success
or power.
The archway must be made with good quality materials. The steel have to be strong. It is advisable to use steel instead of wood to prevent the archway from tumbling down.
The name board on the archway must be broad
and prominent. You may use the traditional chinese characters for the wordings.
The board should be tightly sealed to the archway.
4. Select a good time and date.
Choose a good time and date for an opening
ceremony for the archway and to bless it by a master. Selecting a good time and
date will bring good luck and success to its villagers.
5. Place stone lions at the sides of the
archway
Placing the stone lions at the sides of the
archway can protect the village from harzardous energies. However, there are
some who misunderstood the position of the stone lions. They wrongly placed the
stone lions behind the archway instead of the front. If the archway is facing
the negative energies, the stone lions could not protect the villagers. The
village will be in jeopardy. The stone lions have to be blessed to activate its
power.
Other than these, bear in mind that the
house door should not directly face the archway. It will bring danger to the
occupants particularly to the elderly.
It will cause sickness and bad luck.
It will cause sickness and bad luck.
Plant some trees to protect your home from the
killing energies.
This remedy may only protect you from the negative energies
but it may not bring you good wealth or good luck.
Your sleeping position should not face the
archway directly to avoid absorbing negative energy from the archway. Put a
takrut in front of your door to reduce the negative energy if your door is
facing towards the archway.
Appoint a knowledgeable Feng Shui master to investigate the Feng Shui of your house and the archway to prevent yourself from facing the killing energies and to enhance your luck, wealth and health by choosing a good location for your archway and house.
