Usually, the most common approach in Feng Shui is "if it cannot be seen it is no longer a threat" applies.2. Therefore, things like a screen or (for less modern approach - beaded screens) can be used.3. The Taiwan Feng Shui approach is commonly to use plants to be used as a screen. For example, artifical plants can be used in such a situation to screen the staircase from the main door.4. The Hong Kong type of approach is to use a water postion e.g. a fish tank to neutralise or create a flow of the Five Elements between the offending object and the main door.4.1 The Hong Kong type of approach uses the Five Elements in a harmonious cycle. Much like the Chinese martial arts of "Tai qi". Here, under this form of martial arts; if an opponent fights hard, the `trick' here is to use his/her force by swift movements of the arms to slow it down, divert the hard blows and `return' it to the opponent.4.2 For example, using a fish tank containing all five elements to help neutralise the threat:where:water in the tank = water elementfishes = often these are gold fishes = metal elementrectangle tank = earth elementlight in the tank = fire elementsome plants or greenery in the tank = wood elementHere, there is a five element harmonious flow. Quote Further whatis the difference betweenpakua mirror & bagua.I hope myqueries will be considered &answered.Thank you in advancePlease go to the conference: " Picture Tours of Interest (with pictures) " and search for Ba Gua or Ba Gua mirrors. Under this conference, I had previously posted various types of ba gua mirrors. Plus also, given a summary of their use.Hence, pa kua or (Ba gua) mirrors are often used for:1. to deflect sha qi2. to protect (drive away evil or prevent evil from entering a location i.e. placing it above the door)In fact the term Pa Kua is actually a Hokkien (Chinese dialect group spelling or sound like name) of the Mandarin word: Ba Gua.Thus the words are one and the same.Ba Gua can also refer to the Trigram or the First Heaven Sequence diagram on the trigram and the Later Heaven Sequence trigram.Please check out some of the resources on the main pages as I had in the past, written on them.Warmest Regards,Cecil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
