There are many levels of connection between the Arts, Entertainment and Feng
Shui. Historically, in China, all three were supported by a society's upper
class. In the past they were only available to the elite members of that
class. Because of this basic connection, in China art was directly influenced by
Feng Shui principles. With world travel, many of these principles that were
applied to art and design in China became a part of the arts in other cultures.
The philosophies behind the principles of Feng Shui have had an effect on
many artists, composers, designers, writers and entertainment producers worldwide
for centuries. This was true whether the artists were fully aware of the
influence or not. Today, with the rising popularity of Feng Shui in Europe, USA
and the Western World, we are able to look at this influence with a better
understanding and to use the principles of Feng Shui consciously. This allows us
to create and use art and entertainment on a much more powerful level. A level
that allows greater balance and harmony in our lives and in the world. Feng
Shui is a key element in any creative endeavor because it provides a framework
for our intention to be manifested.
Lets take a look at the Arts. Painting, sculpture, photography all of the
visual arts employ elements of Feng Shui both in their creation -- color,
content, subject, form, etc. -- and in their application. Color, content, subject,
form, etc., are choices of the artist. These choices are based on the artists
"intent," each of these are selected by the artist to convey a feeling or
message to the viewer of the finished piece. Most artists operate on a subconscious
level that is plugged into the universal laws on which Feng Shui principles
are based. When an artist uses a red background with a black horse as the
subject he/she is already plugged into the subconscious yet universal meanings of
these elements. The art buyer taps into the same universal laws although their
conscious and subconscious reasons for being attracted to the art can be quite
different from the artist's. The same Feng Shui principles are still at
work. The red and black attract specific types of energy to the life of the buyer
and the space in which it is hung. It is important, when purchasing and
hanging art, to have a Feng Shui expert advise you on the best placement for the
enhancement of your life as well as your decor. This applies to all types of
art. We are attracted to art on a subconscious level. It appeals to us on this
level and we must be sure it is working for us and not against us. For
example, I have a client that loves the color blue and had a beautiful painting hung
in her bedroom, which had many gorgeous shades of blue in it and it matched
her decor perfectly. Sounds like a perfect choice, right? Not exactly,
because it was a painting of a woman alone hanging in the relationship area of her
bedroom and her desire in life was to find a life partner. Inappropriate,
color and content to draw the energy she desired to her life. We must place our
art with care and intention.
"Music has the power to soothe the savage beast." Why is this so true?
Music can be a Feng Shui adjustment; sound is used in Feng Shui as a cure because
music/sound can totally transform the energy in your body and space. Yes, it
is powerful. Powerful enough to soothe the savage beast in all of us and much
more. Music is very Feng Shui and as the visual arts it starts with the
creator, which in this case is the writer then goes to the composer. From the
composer it flows through the musicians, sound engineer and comes to you. How
and where you use it can change your life. Excellence is achieved by employing
Feng Shui principles to music creation, production and application.
All forms of entertainment follow the same rules. Feng Shui principles are
present in all aspects of entertainment. It starts with the writer, director,
and producer whether they are aware of it or not they are creating the mood
through the use of Feng Shui principles. What is the feeling they wish to
create? What does it look like? Set and costume design? Lighting and sound?
What is the viewers experience? These are all vital elements in a production and
in Feng Shui. A Feng Shui expert is able to help create the mood and affect
the success of any production. We each benefit form Feng Shui when we attend
entertainment that we enjoy. The lights, sounds, colors and content all affect
us on a conscious and subconscious level, changing our energy and the energy
of the audience as a whole. We are inspired, transported and transformed by a
play, concert or movie. It is a Feng Shui adjustment to our personal energy
and the energy of those with whom we share the experience.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, a glimpse of the connection between Feng
Shui, the Arts and Entertainment. Contact a Feng Shui expert for an art
consultation, a consultation on the use of music in your environment or to assist
with your next entertainment production.
