#12. To catch Qi, place a pail of water?

Water is one of the elements that sustain life. Like Air, water is made up of 2 components, 2 part of hydrogen gas and 1 part of oxygen. Air gives us breath, water gives us sustenance. And in the science of Feng Shui, water plays a very important role. The poem stated:

Wind disperses Qi, Water embraces Qi

From my findings and discussion with Feng Shui masters, Wind will carry the Qi, gliding it across the mountain and hill side, Qi moves with the mountain, created from the cosmos, it flows down and glide, like the morning mist where clouds gather and dance near the peaks. As the mountain ranges comes to a halt, so does the QI, from there, Qi will travel through the land, giving life and nourishes the earth. Places that have wonderful QI energy are often green, healthy and vibrant. Qi comes in many types, the gentle energy is suitable for people to build dwellings, the stronger ones are suited for special purposes and the dead, dangerous and poisonous creates a path of destruction along its way.

Qi energy is stopped by water. And we’re not talking about a pail of water or a 3 feet aquarium. The rivers, creeks, etc. And all these factors depend on the size of the land form. Bigger landform with vast amount of auspicious QI energy requires big rivers to stop the flow and embrace the Qi back to the spot, the Hsueh spot. The flow of the river and the direction will direct the Qi energy to move to the point where the river flows.
