Law of Polarity and Law of Rhythm


Everything has an equal and exact opposite.  Think in terms of Yin and Yang, black and white.  JFK popularized the translation of Chinese characters signifying ‘crisis’ as “within every danger there exists opportunity.”  In the Law of Polarity what this means is to look for the good in every situation.

“No-one saves us but ourselves.
No-one can and no-one may.
We, ourselves must walk the path.”
Buddha

The Law of Polarity exists to allow you to fully encompass all that this world has to offer.  However, to experience everything this vast and unlimited Universe has to offer you first have to understand both ends of the spectrum of life.

Without knowing bad you would be unable to experience or even know what good is.  Without understanding poverty, you would be unable to experience wealth.  Without indifference you would be unable to experience the beauty that is love.   In Feng Shui the contrast exists as yin and yang, dark and light, hard and soft and to create harmony balance these two opposing but complementary forces in your living and working lives.

These opposites are sometimes also referred to as ‘contrast.’  You are contrasting, or comparing one thing against another.

In your day to day life it can be so easy to perceive something that is happening as bad, however just as can be seen in the yin/yang symbol, within every seed of ‘bad’ there is an element of good, and vice versa.  The challenge can be to seek the good and focus on that rather than magnifying the bad, that is when you can begin to take complete control of your life and your life experience.

We all have the potential to manipulate each experience and turn it to our advantage.  Doing this allows us to experience harmony and a fulfilling, happy and abundant life.

Law of Rhythm 

This is flow; the ebb and flow of the energetic universe.  When it is resisted it causes negative blocks making the attraction process stagnate.  In Feng Shui, translated as wind and water, the wind and the water move through and around anything they come into contact with, they ‘go with the flow’ of the natural and man-made world.  This is the way to approach your life experience.  Rather than resisting what is, accept it and if changes are required make them with no resistance.

The easiest way to interpret the Law of Rhythm is with the seasons of the year and what you see and experience in each of them.  Springtime is the season for planting seeds, seeds that are nurtured through the summer and harvested in the autumn, with winter allowing the land to rest after its seasonal labours.

From a personal point of view, if you are going through what you identify as a ‘bad time’ by the Law of Rhythm this will be replaced by a ‘good time.’  Let go of attachment to the negative and the positive will replace it much quicker.  The longer you hold onto something as though it is a lifeline, the longer it will stay with you.

The key is to relax, know with absolute certainty that things will work out well, and get on with your life.  Identify the  part of your life that is currently being negatively affected, use one of the Feng Shui formulas, such as the Eight Aspirations, to rectify it on a physical level in your home or your work environment and sit back and relax in utter faith that the unseen is working on your behalf to resolve whatever situation you feel you are experiencing.

Law of Cause and Effect


Law of Cause and Effect – The Law of Cause and Effect says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  Within the Law of Attraction the cause is your thoughts and feelings; the effect is the outcome of these thoughts and feelings.  The bottom line is that you are the cause of everything that occurs in your life and the effect is the way your life experience is opening up before you.

“What You are is what You have been,
And what You will be is what You do now.”
Buddha

Another way of describing the universal Law of Cause and Effect is the law of sowing and reaping.  In other words whatever you sow through your thoughts and feelings will be harvested, will manifest in your experience.  It is vital to understand this if you are using the universal Law of Attraction and the practice of Feng Shui, to bring you an abundance of health, wealth and happiness.

As with every other universal law it is not based on religion, bias or favouritism; the amount of money you have or where you live.  The source of all things, whoever or whatever that means to you, does not analyse thoughts and lifestyles before deciding on a response.  Instead the ‘effect’ of your thoughts and feelings is returned to you in direct proportion to the extent of the ‘cause’ that you yourself have created.

There is a saying “be careful what you wish for, you might just get it” and this is true of the Law of Cause and Effect.   

There is a tendency to look for the bad in our lives and good in the lives of others.  This can be associated with strong feelings of resentment and envy.  It is these feelings that are creating the effects you experience.  It is all too easy to look at the lives of others and imagine the grass is greener on their side of the fence.   Instead of focusing on their lives focus on how you picture your ideal life. 

You are causing damaging effects in your experience by something as simple as sympathizing with friends or family over their ill-health, or their job loss or any other negative scenario.  As soon as you ‘feel’ bad on their behalf, you are attracting that into your own life.

If you are living the life of your greatest desires; are happy and fulfilled in your career; believe you control your destiny; your thoughts and feelings are congruent with your experience.

If you are not there yet then get clarity on exactly what it is you desire; visualise your ideal life.  Writing your desires down; feeling the excitement associated with these desires is an excellent way of bringing them to life.
   
The only time we have is NOW and for this we can rejoice.  Because if you are feeling unhappy, dissatisfied, frustrated or poor, this is the result (or the effect) of your past thoughts, feelings and actions.  By changing the cause; your thoughts, feelings and actions from negative to positive, by visualising your desired outcome, you are tipping the balance.  You are changing the flow of experience.  Your past thoughts were against the tide of your desires, your present thoughts will now allow you to move with the tide.

When you are not consciously focusing on creating your life, when your thoughts are random and disorganised this is reflected in your experience.

Feng Shui practice also focuses on using the power of your thoughts and feelings to manifest positive experiences into your life.  While believing in its effectiveness is not necessary for it to work efficiently, making changes with a positive outlook and with no attachment to the timing of any outcome will not only create harmony in your home and working life, it will also create harmony in your thoughts and feelings.

Law of Relativity


Law of Relativity – This Law is used to gauge the value of an outcome when compared to something else.  When something happens that you perceive as positive or negative it is only interpreted that way when it is compared to another thing or event.  This is something that can be used in a positive way when you remain in a state of optimism and happiness.

The Law of Relativity exists because there is always something to use as a comparison.  We only know what day is because of night; what up is because of down; and within the Law of Attraction conversation we know what we perceive as positive when compared to what we perceive as negative.  Nothing actually has meaning, except for the meaning we give it.  And this is taken further when we remember that different people will identify a situation or circumstance in a variety of ways.  No two people will ever visualise a situation in exactly the same way.

Another system of interpreting the Law of Relativity is by using ‘contrast.’  In other words identifying what it is you do not want to discover what it is you do want.  That is not to say you should be focusing on what you do not want.  Instead  recognise it, let it go and then put your attention on the positive, auspicious aspects of your desires.  With focus and strong desire you can choose to see the good in any situation.

An excellent way of establishing contrast is to have a sheet of paper divided into two columns.  On the left make a list of everything in your life you perceive as negative.  In the second column ‘look for the positive in your negative list’ and record this.  As you write this second list really focus on the positivity and you will begin to appreciate all the things in your life; you will begin to understand that you have been identifying positive as negative and living the result.  This will bring a feeling of happiness and peace into your experience.

Incorporating the practice of Feng Shui into this Law of Relativity will give you another point of positive focus when you make changes in your home, office or in yourself.  It is impossible to have both a negative and positive thought at the same time so to attract your ideal life, identify the negative, let it go and focus on the positive both internally and externally in your surroundings. 

And while this is something personal to you, by creating positive vibrations in yourself you will begin to see that the world around you takes on a positive outlook.  Your outer world becomes a reflection of your inner mind.  You can make this a win-win situation for you and for everyone in your life.

You are unique.  You are never going to be better, or worse, than anyone else.  Your journey in life is never the same as that of somebody else, however similar the external circumstances appear to be. This makes it impossible to compare your life with someone who appears to be your equal in terms of capabilities or circumstances.  It is never possible to know exactly what is going on in the lives of others and while outwardly they can portray a sense of confidence and superiority, this could hide a feeling of inferiority. 
  
Our thoughts, feelings and interpretations of the world around us, are all different.  However, by interpreting situations in a positive way we portray our environment in a way which allows us to attract positive experiences.  It is our thoughts and feelings that hold so much power and when you begin to appreciate how much you have to give to the world you can begin to love the life you have chosen to experience.

Feng Shui and the Law of Attraction


When we think about the Law of Attraction we tend to incorporate another six universal laws within its boundaries.

As mentioned in our previous post there are seven universal laws which govern our lives and over which we have complete control through our thoughts, feelings and actions.
 
Law of Attraction - This is the Law most commonly spoken of when we aim to live our lives by design rather than by default.  The frequency with which our energy vibrates resonates with like frequencies and it is this that creates the attraction process.

Whether the frequencies are positive or negative depends upon the quality of our thoughts and feelings.  Like it or not we attract what we put our attention on and this is what is brought into our experience.

Law of Relativity – This Law is used to gauge the value of an outcome when compared to something else.  When something happens that you perceive as positive or negative it is only interpreted that way when it is compared to another thing or event.  This is something that can be used in a positive way when you remain in a state of optimism and happiness.

Law of Cause and Effect – The Law of Cause and Effect says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  Within the Law of Attraction the cause is your thoughts and feelings; the effect is the outcome of these thoughts and feelings.  The bottom line is that you are the cause of everything that occurs in your life and the effect is the way your life experience is opening up before you.

Law of Polarity – Everything has an equal and exact opposite.  Think in terms of Yin and Yang, black and white.  JFK popularized the translation of Chinese characters signifying ‘crisis’ as “within every danger there exists opportunity.”  In the Law of Polarity what this means is to look for the good in every situation.

Law of Rhythm – This is flow; the ebb and flow of the energetic universe.  When it is resisted it causes negative blocks making the attraction process stagnate.  In Feng Shui, translated as wind and water, the wind and the water move through and around anything they come into contact with, they ‘go with the flow’ of the natural and man-made world.  This is the way to approach your life experience.  Rather than resisting what is, accept it and if changes are required make them with no resistance.
 
Law of Gestation – Whenever anything is planted; whether it is a seed or a thought, it does not instantly become fully developed.  The thoughts you think will not bring instant manifestation so it is important to remain positive and confident that your desires will become reality at the right time.  The same is true of Feng Shui, make changes in your environment with a light and joyous outlook then release any attachment to an end result.

Law of Transmutation – Energy transforms.  The opposite polarities of fire and water are examples of how this occurs.  There is kinetic energy, such as fire, which is in a state of being released.  This kinetic energy is the most active and brilliant.  There is potential energy such as water, which has the potential to be released.  It flows in a harmonious way until it is released; it has a hidden strength that lies dormant until something unleashes its power.

Energy is continually in motion; this is the basis of Flying Star Feng Shui.  It cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form.  Nothing is constant.  At an intangible level thoughts are a form of energy and the strength of those thoughts can bring the non-physical into the physical.

These laws are often combined under the one umbrella of the Law of Attraction however there are subtle differences between them and harnessing the power of each of the seven laws will manifest into reality when practised  in the right way.
