[Feng Shui] Flow Method—The Real Five Elements Remedy

Core Theory: Greedy for Generating, Forgetting Clashing

At beginner level, when encountering clashes (like Metal clashing Wood), the usual advice is “remove it.”

But advanced level teaches you to use “flow through”—a higher-level energy channeling.

Deep Analysis: Channel Instead of Confront

Hypothetical Scenario

Your bedroom is in the due west (Metal element), but you really love green, so you made your bedsheets green (Wood element).

Beginner View: Metal clashes Wood, very bad! Throw away the sheets immediately.

Advanced View: Metal clashing Wood will make you sleep poorly, prone to nightmares and muscle aches. But we can add “Water” in between.

Principle

Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood.

• Metal (western environment) generates → Water (black/blue items/fish tank)
• Water then nourishes → Wood (green bedsheets)

Now, the original “enemy” (Metal) becomes the source of an “ally.”

This is “Greedy for Generating, Forgetting Clashing”—too busy having babies (generating Water) to fight (clashing Wood).

Practical Case: Breaking the Deadlock

Most Common Home Conflict: Water and Fire Don’t Mix

For example, refrigerator (Metal/Water) next to stove (Fire), or sink right against the stove.

Remedy

Place a green plant between them.

• Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire
• Original Water clashing Fire (explosion) becomes Water generating Wood (nourishment), Wood generating Fire (stronger flame)
• Actually benefits cooking and wealth luck

This is called “transforming sha into power.”
