Is Organic Food Good Feng Shui?

There’s lots of comment whether or not you should be eating organic food – or if it makes any significant difference at all.  Food is the energy source for our body and mind – solid chi if you will.  Rushing chi is called sha chi or negative chi. Stagnant chi is not good either.  We look for a balance, chi which nourishes and allows us to perform at our optimum.

If the chi/food we put into our bodies has things which our body does not like, those things will cause a reaction.  We all know what eating too many prunes does.  It’s the same scene with anything unnatural in the food.  And although our bodies are amazing at keeping us going even under the assault of too many foreign substances (preservatives, chemical additives) over time there is a toll taken.

Witness the increase in diabetes.  Witness the prevalence of obesity. Become aware of the shocking rise of childhood and adult asthma. Processed and chemically enhanced food stuffs are major contributing factors along with air and water quality decreasing.  Eating organic means we are only taking in what God gave us, not what Monsanto or Dow created for the benefit of the food producer.  Of course a huge problem is the fact deterioration happens over time, often so slowly we do no notice it until the damage has become acute.  Do good Feng Shui for you body – eat organic.

Planting, Cleaning, Feng Shui

This time of year I find myself pulling all sorts of flotsam and jetsam from the garden.  Then I remember that all the dead stuff is as much a part of the cycle as water is for growth.  No yin, no yang.  So what are we to do – what would Feng Shui have to say?

Simply break up the dead material into as fine pieces as you can and use them as compost.  Breaking them up synergistically helps them break down into nutrients for living plants and soil.  For the weeds which are trying to take over the world, put those into a 5 gallon bucket and fill it with water. Weight it down with a stone and let it rest for 3 days.  Then pour the water onto you living plants.  This weed tea is a valuable fertilizer that costs you nothing.  You can then add the “tea leaves” to the compost pile.

Remember, using chemical fertilizers and weed killer, you destroy the life of the soil.  Which means a) you must always use more and more chemical fertilizer because the soil can no longer do it’s work; and b) you have just decimated an entire living ecosystem in the interests of instant results.  It’s not the way Nature works, it shouldn’t be the way you work.

What’s Feng Shui about this?  You are using everything to build better nourishment and health.  You are cleaning out a space, but not discarding, rather recycling.  The results is aesthetically more beautiful and far more nourishing.  That’s what the correct use of Feng Shui can do – so see you in the garden?
