TIEN, TI and REN CHAI

‘Always Bear In Mind, That Your Own Resolution To Succeed Is More Important Than Any One Thing’

Abraham Lincoln

Our earlier blog on Heaven, Earth and Mankind Luck described a connection between Law of Attraction and Feng Shui and how they shape our life experience. 

Looking at it another way we can interpret Heaven Luck or Tien Chai as the hand we are dealt when we begin our life on Earth; Earth Luck or Ti Chai as the way we manipulate and use the space around us and how this affects the energetic feel of our surroundings and of ourselves; and Man Luck or Ren Chai as the way we live our lives based on our beliefs, our thoughts, our feelings and our actions.  Man Luck is also influenced by the knowledge we gain as we journey through life and how we choose to use this knowledge.

Tien Chai is generally beyond our control.  It is our blueprint, our destiny if you like.  It sets out what we can, and what we can not achieve in life.  Can we ‘prove it wrong?’  Our Ren Chai allows us to make considered choices.  We can consciously decide to take a certain path through life, a path that may lead us to success or failure.  How much success we ultimately achieve however, is fixed.  This is based around the belief of Chinese Metaphysics.

 Everything is Energy; so here is a scenario to consider centred around this principle.  If destiny is fixed and someone, somewhere chooses a different path does the universal energy re-arrange itself thereby affecting everyone and changing their ultimate fate?  Rather like the ‘Butterfly Effect.’  

Ti Chai is Earth Luck, the physical environment we call home.  And included in this one-third is the practice of Feng Shui.  This is the physical aspect of the trio whereby you get to create your Man Luck by utilising Feng Shui in your life; in and around your home as well as in and around your workplace.  You can attract positive and auspicious energy by utilising the practical applications of Feng Shui formulas.

If you look on Feng Shui as Earth Luck you  can perhaps interpret Ren Chai (Man Luck) as the Law of Attraction.  As it is your thoughts, feelings and actions that are associated with Man Luck you get to choose how you use your Earth Luck to your advantage. 

You also get to choose your life experience.  Using the principles of the Law of Attraction to build a vision of your desired future,  whether through writing affirmations, creating a vision board, meditating, visualising or undertaking a program based around Law of Attraction principles you are consciously using your Man Luck.

FENG SHUI and LAW OF ATTRACTION-Always in Motion

Heaven Mankind Earth Luck

"Always in motion the future is"

Yoda

"Always in motion the future is" said Yoda.  What did he mean?  Perhaps because we create our reality in every moment of our lives, the vision of our future changes with the direction of our thoughts.  The future might appear rosy, good things all the way and yet one powerful random and negative thought, full of deep feeling and emotion can change all that.  In contrast our future might appear bleak with nothing positive present in our daily lives with no hope or focus.  However by changing the way we look at this future, by looking at the positive, however small, and refusing to acknowledge the negative, wonderful things can appear.

'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' is a song written by Eric Idle of Monty Python fame.  It was originally featured in the 1979 film 'Monty Python's Life of Brian' and was subsequently released as a CD single in 1991.  To turn fortunes around when they are looking bleak take heed of the title of this song and look for the good in the world around .  It is there and it can be something we usually take so much for granted like the feel of the sun on your face or each breath you take.

As living, feeling energetic beings we have the freedom of choice; and the energy that we choose to bring into our body, mind and spirit will influence our reality.

Whether you believe in karma and reincarnation or not we are born into a reality that becomes our lives.  With our birth we bring generations of accumulated knowledge; knowledge incorporating both good and bad experiences.  This is the Heaven Luck that we bring with us, taken from our predecessors.  Our sub-conscious minds are a storehouse of this information.   Our Mankind Luck is how we make use of this in our current reality; how we choose to live our lives. 

As karmic beings we bring our past knowledge into this reality.  It is said that good, or bad, we are here to learn lessons we missed, or refused to learn, before; to take a step towards nirvana.  Our past lives is the 'cause' and our present experience is the 'effect.'  There is a body of belief that suggests we, as energetic beings with a soul at our core, choose the family we are born into; that we know the lessons we want to learn and choose our path accordingly.

Earth Luck comes into play, along with Mankind Luck when we consciously, or unconsciously, use Feng Shui to determine where we live, where we work, what we like and dislike.  Unconsciously, because we all make a choice.  It may not always seem like that but at the end of the day we say 'yes' or 'no.'

FENG SHUI-LAW OF ATTRACTION—and CLUTTER!

“Out of Clutter, find simplicity.  From discord, find harmony.

In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.”

“Everything that can be counted, does not necessarily count.

Everything that counts, cannot necessarily be counted.”

Albert Einstein

What has clutter to do with Feng Shui and Law of Attraction?  What is the connection between the two?

The connection between Feng Shui and clutter is very well documented.  It is generally number one on the list of  recommendations before enhancements or furniture placement is suggested.  Before enhancing anything and anywhere, de-cluttering your space allows the energy around you to begin to flow harmoniously; preventing the chance of stagnant energy (Sha Chi) forming in your environment.  This de-cluttering is not a one-off quick fix, it is more like regular spring cleaning, clearing out the old yin energy to make way for the new, improved yang version.  Yin energy saps our strength and motivation; yang energy allows us to thrive and grow.

Clutter is something self-created.  Each of us consciously, or unconsciously contribute to the clutter in our lives.  It is not a contribution we necessarily actively seek, however it is part of our lives.  Laying something down and then leaving it; hanging a picture we really dislike because it was a present; packing our handbags or briefcases with paper and never clearing them out; buying new clothes without removing something we no longer wear, or something that no longer fits us; and storing something we may never use again ‘just in case;’ are some examples of creating clutter.

 

Keeping something ‘just in case’ brings us naturally on to the Law of Attraction connection.  This signifies a ‘lack’ mentality, a fear that if we dispose of something we will not be able to replace it, or attract a better alternative.

  

This type of clutter is mental clutter and it is the intangible energetic clutter we cannot see but which is just as debilitating as that which we can see.  It blocks our progress towards something we desire to experience in our lives.

Consciously working with the Law of Attraction we are seeking to attract something specific into our experience.  Whether it is something physical or emotional; practical or fun, we seek to attract it.  Writing about it, displaying pictures of it and dreaming about it while at the same time, through the power of our thoughts and feelings blocking its arrival, is clutter.  Our internal ‘chatter’ that on the one hand says “this is what I want” is on the other hand saying “ha, dream on!”  This is a form of mental clutter that is very difficult to identify and therefore, difficult to clear. 

Our modern-day lives tend to be lived full-on and at maximum warp speed.  We are constantly distracted by family, friends, work, technology and our thoughts and feelings.  This is the clutter of everyday living that helps prevent clarity.  As a result we have very little time to really focus on what we are seeking.  This is why meditation is so highly recommended for everyone.  It has the ability to clear your mind and allow you to focus with precision on the things important to you.  Those with a really busy mind may have to experiment with different forms of meditation to find the one that will allow you to finally still your constant mind talk however this is a small price to pay for the satisfaction of clearly focusing on your goals and desires.

LAW OF ATTRACTION-FENG SHUI– WE MADE IT THROUGH!

“No-One Saves Us But Ourselves.  No-One Can and No-One May.

We Ourselves Must Walk The Path.”

Buddha

Well we may have reached the end of the Mayan calendar and unlike many doomsayers predicted, we survived what was reported to be ‘the end of the world.’

Fortunately, the collective consciousness for survival far outweighed the collective consciousness for destruction.  As with all stories of despair and destruction, they make headline news – our ultimate desire for survival was the stronger energy; was the loudest voice in our hearts and our minds.

Could we really have ‘thought’ our way to destruction? 

Thankfully today there is now a greater awareness of our place in the universal energy; there is a greater awareness of the power we hold within us, and it is from this awareness that we can choose the direction we take.

By consciously creating our lives the way we desire them to be through our thoughts, feelings and our actions.  By   using the power of the ancient civilisations who have given us knowledge through their observations and experiences.  By purposefully practising Feng Shui, an ancient practice, in our lives we are now in the most wonderful situation where we can begin to create a world filled with love, and beauty and harmony. 

The current period 8 (2004-2023) in Feng Shui is an earth element period; a time when we look to find a more spiritual and enlightening path rather than the previous period 7, a metal element time that signified a constant search for more and more wealth.  This is a time to create a sense of stability and belonging in our lives, in our homes and in our world.

This year, the first of our ‘new era’ if you like, will still have its share of disharmony, the destructive elements of fire and water are present yet again in the annual chart.  However because they are yin elements rather than the yang elements of 2012 the effects will be slightly less violent.  There are indications of natural disasters; there are indications of disasters caused by fire (the sun, volcanic eruptions); and there are indications of water-related incidents. 

All energy is cyclical, hence the saying “what goes around comes around.”  There is no clear indication of where this saying originated but it has been linked to the Buddhist belief in rebirth, or Karma.  Also Confucius, the Chinese teacher, editor, politician and philosopher talked about reciprocity; or “do unto others as you would have done unto you. “  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucius

This cyclical movement is one of the reasons Feng Shui is so potent and effective.  Nothing ever stays ‘all bad’ or ‘all good.’  However the thoughts and feelings of each of us as individuals will influence our path so when you have a fork in the road of your thoughts consider carefully before taking the well-worn route forward.  Making a new choice can mean the difference between failure and success, between fear and love, between sadness and happiness.
