Despite the inflating property prices in the local and global property market, property investing continues to be an incentive in our country's target in becoming a high-income nation. Investing in property nowadays is not just about signing documents anymore. Instead of merely looking at the conventional world where ratios, gearing, returns, profits or countless other indicators are the determining factors for investment, we now look to an unconventional method - namely, the Feng Shui perspective.
But how does Feng Shui factor in before you purchase a property? First and foremost, Feng Shui is a study of landforms that allows you to tap into the positive energy around you to help improve your life. By understanding and studying these landforms present, only then can you match your property with positive landforms to have good Feng Shui. You can start by looking at the master plan of the property development that you are interested in. If you are sharp enough, you will notice that there are some areas where certain houses will enjoy better Feng Shui compared to others within the same development. This is due to the effects from the landforms. But how do we know which will be better at receiving positive Qi?
To properly understand how Feng Shui works in relation to property investment, consider the geographical location of Malaysia and how we can derive power from the mountains, rivers and lakes. We can deduce whichever is more present in the region as the country draws its Feng Shui from the dominant mountains from the North and all the way to the South. Since mountains govern the overall Qi in the environment, they are also responsible for producing Wealth Qi, something that everyone who wants to enjoy prosperity in their life would want to seize upon.
Mountains are regarded as Yin because they are stationery and immovable and are often referred to in classical Feng Shui as 'Dragons'. It is the natural appearance of these mountains that connotes the type of Qi released into the immediate proximity and environment around them. As Malaysia is fortunate to have many types of mountains and hills throughout the country, the two most common types that you should look out for are:
The Good Mountain
A prosperous or good mountain is green, lush and gentle in appearance with rounded tops. Such mountains are healthy and growing Dragons (Sheng Long) and emit benevolent Qi.
The Bad Mountain
Bad mountains are steep, sharp and have pointy tops, like that of a witch's hat. Other bad mountains are those that have naturally collapsed and these are known as broken mountains as they have a rocky appearance from being blasted with explosives, mined or quarried.
Even mountains that have a mix of greenery and rocky appearance are considered detrimental as well. These are identified as Sick Dragon (Bing Long), as the peak of their Qi does not flow well.
Determining the position of a mountain
Once you know how to spot the different types of beneficial or unfavourable types of mountains, determine the proper position of the mountain in relation to your property. For instance, if the mountain is at the back of a house, it is said to be supportive as it heralds security and stability in the home as well as family harmony.
Any mountain on the left of a property is known as the Green Door Embrace (Qing Long Sha) - not to be confused with Sha Qi. The former protects the property from violent Qi and benefits the male individuals living in the house.
If the mountain is on the right of the property, it is known as the White Tiger Embrace and it also protects the property from any violent Qi. Similarly, they should be of a moderate distance, and not any higher than the Green Dragon. Should you wish to increase the value of your property over time, you should look for hills or mountains in the Northeast and Southeast side of the property to make this happen. Though, it is better to have the mountain coming in from the Northeast side as this will yield faster and better results.
Despite the types and locations of these mountains in relation to your property, ultimately, the end decision is yours to make alone. Follow your gut instinct as well as the general knowledge of how Feng Shui can help you make the right decision. When you are able to do so, it will become second nature to you, making it easier for you to fully utilize its benevolent impact on your life and investing in a property as well.
