The Celestial Guardian Theory

Hey guys welcome to Learn Feng Shui where you'll Learn Feng Shui from a classical point of view taking out the myth and Superstition if you like weekly tips as well as fun folklore Tales you'll enjoy learning fun with me hey guys today we're going to talk about the Celestial Guardian Theory so if you've been doing Funway for any length of time you may have heard the term like green dragon red phoenix white tiger black tortoise and you know you may have Associated these with maybe placing out a statue or buying an item that you can place somewhere within your home however this actually refers to the energy that surrounds our space external to our house the saying goes that three full and one empty produce talent and a hero so what this refers to is the way our house is actually situated on a piece of land and what surrounds us so there's certain formations within our space and certain ways we want our house to be set on a piece of land that can tell us whether or not the house may be prosperous for us so that saying the three full and one empty actually refer to the Embrace or what is called the armchair Embrace of a home so in the front you have what is called a red phoenix in the back you have what is called the black tortoise on the left you have the green dragon and the right you have the white tiger and all of them represent a part of your household so what is called a red phoenix looking at the front of our home so taking a step just looking out in the area that is around the front um is the area that receives and collects G or energy for your home so this is the area we really want to be open we want it to be um an area that's you know not blocked by trash or clutter we want to make sure the porch is swept the light is working out there you need sunlight also to get to your porch and your front door every day you also want to make sure that you know trees and hedges are all trimmed around the area because this red Phoenix area relates to your wealth and career opportunities so when that is blocked you're going to feel blockages in your wealth and career opportunity so it doesn't have to be a fancy Courtyard or anything special like that um plants can definitely help to hold in the chi or the energy in the space but you want to again make sure it's not blocking um anything within the space or blocking your front door so this is just you know keep everything like trimmed and good repair and clean because again this relates to your wealth opportunity if you maybe you just have a parking lot in the front and you know you're just have a business with a parking lot this is my husband's business is like this um all you have to really do is make sure it's like kept clean and kept tidy good repairs so it doesn't have to be anything f fancy but definitely having an open area in front of your space and having that red Phoenix area clear helps to welcome in and circulate the Chi for accumulation so the rest of the areas be around and behind our homes help accumulate um and hold on to that Chi so the red phoenix brings it in and the other three Celestial um areas help us hold on to it so now taking it to the back and looking at the area that is behind our home this is called the black back tortoise so this actually refers to the area behind us and the area behind our home and what it does is it offers support to us and it also speaks to our health so this is an area that we want to make sure is not lower if a area in the back is lower it could mean that you don't have what is called descendant luck um your kids may you know not really have much to do with you when they get older if this is a family home that you stay in for a long period of time um or it could refer to having bad health or poor health and it could also lead to you not feeling supported in life and so this is the same kind of concept why we also want our um back to a a wall when we're working at a desk or we want our back to um you know a nice supportive headboard when we're sleeping it's the same type of concept it's that feeling of support and it also again supports our health so again we want to look and make sure maybe there's like a nice high fence line we don't want too crazy a fence cuz that is not good either but taller than your um the tallest person that lives in your home you know maybe a nice six 7ft fence would be good um if the row of houses behind you is taller than your home um if not at least the same height as your home that means you have nice support maybe there's a nice row of trees maybe you have some you know brush and shrubs back there that are nice and Tall um all of that can lock in also the chi or energy to your space and it can make you feel more supported and bring Better Health health and descendant luck to your household so now we're going to look at the left side this is actually the Yang side of the home or the male dominated side of the home so looking to the left we want to make sure that the male of the house feels supported um maybe you have sons you know well they're going to want to feel supported in life they're going to want to feel supported in their career it's said that when you have a good external features on the left side that it supports a male household and it supports Fame for a male and so if they're looking to get ahead in their career you know if there's a bread winner this is definitely an area of your home that you want to make sure is higher than the right side so it can be higher with either a hill maybe the home next door to you is taller or the building next door you is taller um you want to make sure there maybe there's a row of trees there you just want to make sure that it is the side of the home that is taller and more dominant than the uh right side again looking outside our front door looking now to the right this is the area that governs the females of the household this is the area you actually want to be a little bit lower than the left side um even if it's a household that has you know maybe the female is the bread winner you still want to make sure that um the other side the left side is a little bit higher than the right side because if you have a higher right side A Higher White Tiger side it could mean a a variety of things but one of the most important things we want to make sure we don't invite into our house is stress and having a white tiger or the right side of our home higher than the left side can actually indicate that the females of the household maybe they're more dominant and perhaps they work harder they're more stressed out so even if you're alone in your home you're a single female alone you're the bread winner it's still a good idea to have the left side to be higher it's still good land form so it'll still be support supportive of you the that white tiger area you know taking a look at what's there and making sure that it's a little bit lower maybe it's kept quieter so this is the area you know maybe you don't want to put your dog house you don't want your dogs barking there um you don't want it to be overly active um you know it's just some things like that you want to make sure it's like a nice quiet Yin um and shorter than the left side and that'll help also support the female in the household so just um keep that white tiger area clean and keep it quiet remember to consider this about 70% of your fun comes from your external environment so you could have okay fun in your home but if your external forms and your external formations outside your home are good and they you know have this armchair and Brace so-called even if it's like buildings or tree lines that means that you could be receiving really good energy into your home home so you want to look for especially if you're on the hunt for a home if you're having some issues one thing you can look at is you know is one side of my house like super high you know is there like a a mountain next to me is there a hill next to me is there a set of tree lines on you know in front of me instead of behind me you know is the front higher than the back do I see a mountain in front of me you know do I see something where it's not supposed to be another thing you can look for is to see like hey are you having issues inside the house like are you having some health issues are you having things going on and if they there is look to your external environment to see you know is there clutter or trash did you do a renovation you haven't cleaned up you know is there something that needs to be taken to the dump is there a stack of old tires out there not which side of the house it's on you know if it's behind you if it's in the right or the left and see if the person in the household is having those issues so again if it's you know a super high building towards the front of you that means it's blocking your career and wealth opportunities so there's some things you can look at like that before you start looking at you know placing statues and placing items out because remember fun CH is really about the the way you receive and collect the Cheer Energy in your space and everything in your external environment um you know activates your internal your internal funu so if you have negative features on your external environment there you can there's not a lot you can do sometimes in your intern environment to fix that so again just making sure in the macro you know do I have good land form around me is there mountains is there water is there radio towers or you know things like that 5G towers are they real close to me you know is you know are my Celestial Guardian correct is there a nice embrace you know do I have support um more on the left side than the right and do I have support behind me you know just kind of thinking about those things and taking those things in consideration can go a long way way into improving your your funct way inside your home so and then again looking at the micro and looking at directly in your yard and you know around your property if there's stuff that needs to be cleaned or cleared up and now that we kind of looked at the external environment I do want to mention you can use this same Theory inside your home so if you want to look at you know the way your desk is positioned and if you want to look at the way your bed is positioned and even your stove these are the most important features within your home so looking at these key features especially like if you work from home if you don't work from home don't consider your desk but especially your bed you really need the flow around your bed you know is it higher on one side make sure it's not cluttered on one side you really want to make sure you know that the flow is there when you are positioning your bed so again there's specific bed positions you can do but having a flow around your bed and following the same principles as the external and you know white tiger Green Dragon you know this armchair Embrace um you can position your desk you can position your bed you know so use it and apply it to the same Theory inside your home now so I feel like we cover a lot of the zodiac animal today I want to look at the symbol ISM of turtles and tortoises so coming to you from Loveton know.com I'll include the link below um this is actually kind of a cool article it has all sorts of like funu like little items if you're into doing items and you like turtles it talks about money Turtles and all kinds of stuff but I'm just going to read the article entitled funu turtle tips and trivia during the Shang Dynasty from 17766 to 1122 BC tortoise shells were used for for ceremonial divination to predict the future the ancient Chinese believ that the turtle contained all wisdom of Heaven and Earth within its shell today you can use Turtles and tortoise along with funu s practices as symbols to attract safety wealth and good fortune it says um you guys know my thoughts on using symbols for Good Fortune I really don't don't do it that much but if you were into using symbols and you like Turtles I say go for it I mean it's not going to hurt anything um and I do want to touch on the Divination so one of the oldest divination systems is from Chinese metaphysics is called the hijing so it was one of the first developed systems they actually used to cast the hexagrams and read them in different ways so one of the earliest ways would they would um find a turtle shell along the banks of the river that had been emptied out you know abandoned by its former o owner I guess and they would put coins inside of it and they would shake the coins up and they would cast the coins out to then derive their ging hexagram and do the Divination so first if you see a large turtle with two small turtles stacked on its back that is said to represent three healthy generations and be a symbol for longevity a dragon turtle sitting on a petal made of coins or ingots is supposed to give you extra money luck and sometimes maybe it'll have a Chinese coin in its mouth it's does say here that the calligraphy on the coin should always be facing up and there should be if there's like a gemstone embedded in the coin sometimes we'll see it in the center that should also be facing up a mound-shaped figure of a turtle displayed in the backyard or rear Garden is supposed to be able to substitute for a rise or Hill or Mountain on the back of your property a landscape feature considered essential for Safety and Security so this is one one time I'm going to probably you know if you want to put a tortoise like I've seen cool tortoise statues that you can put in the backyard but I I will say that this is the time that I don't believe that it would substitute for the actual land form so they're saying instead of having the land form and having a a tortoise Embrace on your home that you can put a statue of a tortoise I've heard this before also and I don't agree but feel free to try try it if you'd like it says here you can tuck a tiny turtle under your bed for a more restful sleep to help cure insomnia for strong Good Fortune use funu Turtles made of quality materials such as beautiful wood and gin Stones like Jade I've also heard it said that when you keep seeing a turtle or tortoise maybe have a dream about a tortoise or you know things like that you see them you just keep noticing the symbol that it is a sign that you need to slow down and take it a little bit you know things a little bit slower so keep that in mind also you
