The Interplay of Heaven, Earth and Man

Recently, I attended a feng shui talk and I wouldn't say that I'm an avid feng shui reader or practitioner but I thought it wouldn't be harmful to leairn a few things about Chinese metaphysics. For the uninitiated, feng shui is a traditional Chinese practice believed to utilize the Laws of both Heaven, (astronomy), and Earth, (geography), to help improve one's life by tapping positive energy (chi, in Chinese). Tempting, isn't it, when your life is at its lowest point and you want to turn it around? Yes, to a certain extent, feng shui may help to bring a positive change into your life, provided you apply the correct feng shui methods and act on them. You may have a feng shui consultant do a reading for you and recommending remedies to overcome whatever obstacles you are facing at this point in time but they may work or may not, depending on your own karma. If you have bad karma, regardless of how impeccable that consultant is, the person may provide the wrong advice or suggest a cure that instead, exacerbates the predicament. Therefore, it is extremely vital that one seeks help from the Divine and one does prayers sincerely for oneself so that one day you will better equipped to help yourself and benefit others. You may not believe in the powers of prayers right now but speaking from experience, it would be foolish for any one to underestimate its powers. Of course, at the end of the day, you alone can only create your own happiness and transform your life. Feng shui and other avenues of improving one's life can play a part in allowing the positive energy to flow into your life but with the help of prayers, you can be sure that, with the right application of such means, you will succeed in changing your life, for the better.
