Question

Even for the most cheerful present, staying positive in the face of consistent

negativity is a difficult task. Criticism, passive - aggressive – behaviour and a

feeling of distrust can dampen your positive, cheerful, optimistic and

appreciative energy in any situation. In the long run you end up observing

such energies from others around you and the feelings of vindictiveness,

irritation and resentment begin to affect your life as well.

An ancient and popular philosophy of Oriental culture says that ailments of

the heart requires medicine of the mind. In other words it implies that, heart

and mind are interchangeable. The saying refers to physical or mental illness

and implies that they can be cured by psychological means.

Feng shui analysis emphasizes the seven human emotions- hurt, anger,

anxiety, melancholy, sorrow, fear and fright that are our responses to external

environments and situations. In small doses they do not cause harm but if

experienced for a longer period, this can cause many health disorders.Although these techniques are time tested, some simple techniques can assist

you to building good Feng shui to handle hurt, sorrow, and trauma. Firstly,

nobody can hurt you without your permission. It is how you respond that will

take you through this experience without making you a victim of the

treatment meted out of you. Secondly, others can't make your own feelings

and emotions under control. Lastly, you can't achieve anything by getting

frustrated and bitter. Feeling stuck and helpless is your own call. Emotionally

move away from someone who is trying to hurt you.
