CASE
STUDY 1 This Case Study was particularly interesting
due to its overall simplicity and the rather dramatic way in which it
demonstrated how quickly the Pa Chai aspects of the San He
School can affect people's lives. This school holds that one of
the primary influences on a building and therefore the people who live
and work within it, is the location and direction of the
main used doors. It is this aspect in particular we will examine. However,
it needs to be kept in mind that there are other factors beyond these
which also need to be examined when looking at both the Pa Chai
and the feng shui of a property. And indeed although these were taken
into consideration in the auditing of this property it was clear that
the real cause of the problems arose from a simple change of the doors
used by the family.
To set the scene a little lets first
of all examine the basis of the Pa Chai (Eight Mansions), or
Locational / Directional aspects of the San He School. This is
an aspect which sees the divisioning of the compass into two groups,
normally referred to as the East Group and the West Group. Each of these
groups is made up of four compass points. The East Group is made up
of North, South, East and South east; while the West Group consists
of: West, North west, South west and North east.
There are three widely accepted reasons
for this separation: The mathematical configurations inherent in the
movement of the lines of the I-Ching, the relationships of the family
members associated with each of the Gua, and the cycling of the five
elements. The result of these three sets of associations is a matching
of each compass direction with that of the other seven. These other
seven directions are then ranked from most helpful to most harmful and
have a direct effect on an individual's use of a building according
to his or her own Life Gua (derived from their year of birth) and the
location and direction of the main used doors within the
building.
In the case of our family under examination
the situation was as follows:
