Chunyi Lin mentioned when doing healing sessions that the layout, furniture of the household or dwelling where you practice should have good Feng Shui.
Childrens' Environment ..
If the displacement or in a child's vocabulary "messing it up" of objects disrupts QI, why is it then that Children can do it so naturally and not be affected?
I can spend 30 minutes straighten up the play area and my children can "mess it up" in seconds and still be happy, harmonious and one with the universe. Why?
Childrens' Play ...
Children have the knack or naturally ability to play, explore, have fun. Example running and chasing one another in the house. To an adult, it can drive one bonkers! So even in play, Children can disrupt adult QI. Why?
I guess the basic question is WHY do children seem to be unaffected by disrupted QI in their environment?
It is a bit hard to sort out your post, but I will just say a few things...
- kids have alot of energy, and a wonderful purity about them. They are not necessarily "one with the universe" in the sense of being a sage, while they are playing. They are simply playing and being themselves, innocent...
- being a parent, means parenting. It is possible to influence kids, help them direct their energy , play with them, do projects together, teach them... It is ok for them to be kids too, and just play.
- a play space is a play space. If a play space is not defined, it can be disruptive to a space not intended for that kind of energy.
Define areas, set boundaries, teach and practice mutual respect of each other's space. Be patient. You are the parent/teacher/role model.
-children don't disrupt adult qi. Quite the opposite if you have a healthy perspective. One can learn alot from young people's innocence and purity.
- a play space is for play, a religious place is for worship and reflection, a shopping center is for shopping. If you don't separate them , you have a mess. I don't try to meditate in a shopping center. "The energy there doesn't support that." I don't consider it disruptive to me, I do my shopping there. I may not like the decor or commercialism, there may be room for improvement, but, it serves a purpose.
-There is a difference between big picture stuff and small picture stuff in Feng Shui. I am not an expert by any means. Just common sense. Some things are permanent about a place, some are temporary. A cluttered room is temporary. The house, the directions it faces, etc., is more permanent, with greater constant effect. The land and area is even more so.
-if I create a space for healing, it would have that purpose. I would teach my children to respect that space, and what goes on there. In turn, I would respect their play space, but again, guide them. I would keep the two separate. Your family responsibilities come first. Make time and space for yourself within that or outside of that.
I have always worked at home. I have a workout/meditation/healing space, along with always having a studio at home. I was home to help with raising my kids, and they learned to respect my work spaces, they had their own space, and they learned to mutually respect shared spaces. There was plenty of opportunities in a 24 hr day to get done with personal work and interests, along with being a responsible parent.
Gallen,
Points well taken.
I loved your comment on play space ... that drove the point home to me very well. An EXCELLENT philosophy a parent such as myself can learn from and use!
The Feng Shui temporary and permanent comment was also a very interesting point I had not considered.
Obviously a person of experience ...
Gallen, Thanks!
because children have Qi in its purest form.
They are not disrupted by the nonsense of the adult world.

No, Bush is incredibly easy. It is Clinton, who many believed to be the real disruption of chi.
Clinton was a show off.It is Bush in his fanasism that threatens to send the entire world into a war that con not possibly be won.
So I guess Bush is supposed to just sit back and let them win. Great for the Chi

Through the Actions of Bush the Terrorists have already won.

The angel surround these children they are still connected by strong silver threads to the CHI umbilical chord and are tapped into the bliss of existence all at once. There is nothing more beautiful than a soul enraptured in the carnation of child they were just on the other side, this reality has not stunted that connection with the dogma and urge that will choke out that bliss over time as they beome more entrenched in this living. That is why they are so joyful, but that applies to children who have entered with love all around them--on the otherside we are all connected by this great love and sense of belonging that's why children are so outreaching, they are separated and need us to fulfill that sense of loss--those children that do are truly blessed and I cringe on the pain and suffering for those who do not come through a loving connection into this world. Peace unto you all. Children do not naturally dissrupt CHI or QI, they are loaded full to the brim with it.

I believe that multiple countries existing at all, with their pride, rules, and existence - will be the thing that tears apart the world. If only we could unite as one, but that would likely not happen without things breaking down.
