陈灯云山书(2021) 101

• The goal is to archive good fortune for the participating members.

The invisible energy pattern carries

specific characteristics

that eventually will transform into tangible objects
in certain ways.

陈灯云山书(2021) 102

• These energy patterns 103
will transform into visible forms
such as shape, color, and matter.

陈灯云山书(2021)

陈灯云山书(2021) 104

Why do have Elements 105
different Shapes & Colors ?

• Einstein discovered a long time ago
that energy can be transformed into matter.

The different energy patterns
which create each Element
do have a unique particle mass.

Therefore, Nature’s law dictates
how energy needs to flow in certain directions
to create forms and shapes.

陈灯云山书(2021)

陈灯云山书(2021) 106

• To illustrate better, 107
let’s look at a rectangular form
which is associated with the Element of Wood.

The energy moves upwards first,
turns sidewards,
and at last,
goes back to its starting position.

陈灯云山书(2021)

• This movement pattern 108
creates a rectangular form.

The other Elements
have their own pattern
which produces the shapes associated with it.

Later, we will provide an overview of which shape
is linked to which Element.

陈灯云山书(2021)

• FIRE Element increase in its size 109
• EARTH Element is firm in its movement
• METAL Element has a shrinking attitude
• WATER Element decreases
• WOOD Element is expanding when it moves

陈灯云山书(2021)

DIFFERENT CYCLES of the 5 Elements

• It is fundamental to understand
the different cycles of this ancient Theory.

Without it, you cannot practice Feng Shui.

陈灯云山书(2021) 110

• Most of the remedies and enhancements of the Flying Star (Da Gua)
are based on the Element cycles.

The goal is to reach a balance
between all the energy stars inside your house.

• Once accomplished,
you have great harmony as your gift.

陈灯云山书(2021) 111

• The “Producing” and the “Destroying” Cycle
are considered the two major ones to keep nature in balance.

In addition, to those two,
the “Weakening” and “Insult” Cycle
also have to be looked at.

Please note that any interaction of two Elements
does have different outcomes.

陈灯云山书(2021) 112

Producing Cycle (Each Element is in Balance)

陈灯云山书(2021) 113

• The producing or “mother” cycle 114
is where the “Parent” produces the child element.
To illustrate better,
once Fire is burned down it creates ash.
As ash becomes part of earth eventually, it will enhance it.
Therefore, we can say that Fire creates Earth.

陈灯云山书(2021)

• Next, all the metal material as we know come from minerals in rocks.
Some metal is found just above the ground,
but some are located deep underneath the ground.

Hence, the earth element produces metal in its cycle.

Whenever Metal needs to be processed

it will be liquefied to adjust its form.

This is the reason why metal produces water.

陈灯云山书(2021) 115

• Next, in the cycle comes the creation of Wood. 116
As we all know,
trees need water to strive and grow.
This has the effect that water created wood.

陈灯云山书(2021)

• In order to complete the cycle,
wood generates Fire.

As wood is necessary to fuel a fire,
without a doubt this makes it the mother element of fire.

陈灯云山书(2021) 117

Control Cycle (No Element can break out and
get out of control)

陈灯云山书(2021) 118

• The purpose of the Controlling Cycle
is to keep each an every Element in a healthy balance.

Otherwise,

one might break out and overpower the others.

陈灯云山书(2021) 119

• Consequently, 120
the whole cycle
would collapse like a card house.

• Only one
can imagine nature’s energy
to feel its strength.

陈灯云山书(2021)

陈灯云山书(2021) 121

• To illustrate better, 122
if too many trees are in a given area,
all the nutrients will be absorbed by them.

• The earth is left powerless and empty behind.

• Surely,
a big landslide from the mountains
stops the flow of a river in an instant.

陈灯云山书(2021)

• Try to flood the kitchen and see no fire in sight. 123
Undeniably, extreme heat (800° C)
can melt and bring all metal to its knees.
Finally, metal as machines
can cut the wood
into bits and pieces thin as paper.

陈灯云山书(2021)

Weakening Cycle (Exhaust Element’s Energy
in a gentle way)

陈灯云山书(2021) 124

• The Weakening Cycle
moves exactly the opposite as the Producing Cycle.

Fire burns down Wood to its ashes.
Therefore, we can say that Fire controls Wood.

陈灯云山书(2021) 125

陈灯云山书(2021) 126

• Beavers use Wood to build dams.

With the result that water becomes contained in a given area.

Add too much water on steel
and the rust
starts to pop up like mushrooms.

陈灯云山书(2021) 127

陈灯云山书(2021) 128

• Surely, 129
once a company mines and removes metal from earth,
it will be drained.

Unquestionably,
earth reduces the spread of fire as it cannot burn.

Ever seen firefighters dig trenches
as a control line to contain a fire.

陈灯云山书(2021)

陈灯云山书(2021) 130

Insulting Cycle (Element ‘s Harm each other)

陈灯云山书(2021) 131

• The case of insult 132

occurs when the Controlling Element is not sufficient presents.

Too little water on Fire and only a “Puff” is heard.

Water will evaporate into the air.

This must be remembered: Always add enough
to control the Element and stop any attempt

that could cause an insult in the cycle

陈灯云山书(2021)

How to apply the 5 Elements in Feng Shui?

• Without reservation,
the 5 Element Theory
needs to be understood correctly
to proper work with the Feng Shui Application.

To be sure that no harmful mistakes are been done,
study all the cycle behavior very intensively.

To get a full picture of what the 5 Elements all represent,
a look beyond its element itself should be done.

陈灯云山书(2021) 133

• The 5 Elements cycles 134
are being used by all Feng Shui Practitioners
to apply placements inside the house.
The purpose is either to weaken, enhance,
or neutralize the energy in certain sectors.

陈灯云山书(2021)

• To illustrate better, 135
in case the #5/2 Sick Star
Combination with the Earth Element
is present in one sector,
“Metal” needs to be used to exhaust it.

As Metal weakens Earth in its cycle,
this is the only possible choice here.

陈灯云山书(2021)

陈灯云山书(2021) 136

• The Flying Star Da Gua 137
is associated with 9 different Stars.
Each Star has its own element.
All the 5 Elements
are somehow equally divided onto the 9 Star System.

陈灯云山书(2021)

陈灯云山书(2021) 138

• Once the permanent energy of the house is known,

the star combination
can provide more light about what you have to deal with.

If a Star-Combination favorable in one area,

then it has to be supported.

陈灯云山书(2021) 139

陈灯云山书(2021) 140

• Do not make the mistake to chose a wrong element
which insults or weaken it by any chance.

On the other hand,
an inauspicious star needs to be taken care of.

陈灯云山书(2021) 141

• By all means, 142

do not let the energy go wild and out of control.

Given that,
chaos and mishap can be seen in such a case.

With this in mind,
the first step in a Feng Shui Audit
is to understand the Energy Chart of the house
and the Star’s Elements.

陈灯云山书(2021)

The 9 Flying Star and its Elements 143

• 1 Star = Water
2 Star = Earth
3 Star = Wood
4 Star = Wood
5 Star = Earth (worst evil star)
6 Star = Metal
7 Star = Metal
8 Star =Earth
9 Star = Fire

陈灯云山书(2021)

Now that it is known what stars are associated with
what Element, the use of the cycles can be applied.
