McLARNEY RESOURCE LIBRARY BUILDING – ENVIRONMENT FACTORS |
| Landscape Good chi is reflected in gentle, undulating landscapes. Flat land has too much still (Yin) chi and is exposed to harsher winds and possible floods. Lush green vegetation indicates healthy chi. Dry, barren land reflects a lack of chi in the earth. Buildings ideally, should be located with a mountain (black tortoise) in the rear to protect from winds or dangerous chi flow, a low white tiger hill to the left (as you're facing the entry), a higher hill (green dragon) to the right. And a lower hill (red phoenix) in front. Symbolism plays a vital role in Feng Shui analysis. In an urban setting, highrises, roads, and neighboring structures represent animals and nature. Tall trees behind a building symbolize mountains. A lower building on the left represents the white tiger and a slightly taller building on the right resembles the dragon. Open land in front is seen as the watchful phoenix gathering chi power. The location should give the feeling of being protected by an "armchair" or being in the "dragon's lair." Roads - "Poison Arrows" Streets are arteries of chi. Occupants of a building at the end of a T-section have dangerous, fast-moving chi, known as "poison arrows," directed at them. This type of bad Feng Shui can hurt finances and health. Being at the end of a cul-de-sac traps energy, creating stagnant chi that translates to "stagnant" finances. Wide boulevards are favored business locations over narrow streets which have less chi flow. Freeways Situated near flyovers or freeways generates strong chi flow that can hinder employee productivity and business growth. Overpowering Buildings If there are taller buildings on either or both sides of your location, success will be difficult and limited. Sharp Angles Acute angles from rooftops and neighboring designs send "poison arrows" of chi. Entry Location Since the main entry is the "mouth of chi," where energy enters through a building, its location/orientation is crucial to prosperity. The more chi, the greater the opportunities. There shouldn't be anything blocking the front door or poison arrows directed from roads and adjacent buildings |
