Feng Shui Day: Practice of January 25, 2015
Feng Shui practice day
First, for our Feng Shui day, we met at the Arc de Triomphe. It is a central point between La Défense and the Louvre Museum. Contrary to popular belief, the Arc de Triomphe is not aligned on an East–West axis; its axis is Southeast–Northwest. While descending the Champs-Élysées, we measured several flows of energy: one in the center of the road, one along the edge of the sidewalk, and one in front of a shop entrance. Between the flow in the center of the road and the flow in front of the shop entrance, there is a 22° difference.
Why ?
In the center of the road, there is too much car traffic, and along the edge of the sidewalk, there is still the influence of vehicles. Therefore, the measurement is distorted. In Feng Shui, the flow that matters is the one that passes directly in front of the entrance.
Descending the Champs-Élysées
As we descended toward the Louvre, we observed that the shops, restaurants, and other businesses on the right side are of a higher-end level than those on the left. Even so, any restaurant or store on the Champs-Élysées is already considered very prestigious. The Qi flowing down the Champs-Élysées gradually slows and spreads out, so by the time it reaches the entrance of the Louvre Pyramid, the energy is weaker.
Upon entering the Tuileries Garden, we can see a large basin that collects the Qi descending from the Champs-Élysées. In Feng Shui, water acts as an activator of Qi. The garden is surrounded by walls that help retain the Qi inside.We can also notice a straight line that starts near La Défense and ends at the esplanade where the Louvre Pyramid is located. The final point of this line is more precisely at the foot of the statue to the right of the pyramid’s entrance. All the energy converges at this point and “falls” into the Louvre through the pyramid entrance. This explains why the Louvre Museum is the most visited museum in the world.
After the Meal
We went to Place Vendôme. We noticed that the obelisk in the center was under renovation, with scaffolding everywhere, creating what is called a broken mountain. Broken mountains bring many negative effects. We were unable to take measurements at the shop entrances, but we know that the scaffolding negatively affects them. Despite this, the square benefits from the Qi that comes from the Tuileries Garden and the Louvre Museum. This is why the shops in this square are very prosperous. Afterward, we took the metro toward Sacrée Cœur
Once at the top, in front of the Sacré-Cœur doors, we measured the main entrance, which is located at the center. After several measurements taken by the students and myself, we noticed that none of the measurements matched. After discussing this, I explained to them that places of worship built centuries ago, such as some churches or cathedrals, often have their main entrance located on a void line. As a result, either we get a measurement directly on the void line, or we get inconsistent readings.
