     This article is a continuation of last week’s article regarding feng shui and burials. Last week’s article provided some background on the origins and history of feng shui and burial grounds. The following article further explores this topic. 

When a burial ground is not properly selected, it can have a variety of potentially negative and devastating effects on the deceased's living and future family.  Depending on the different orientation and mountain configuration or land contour of a burial site, it can have different effects on the deceased's progeny.  For instance, certain mountain branches or ranges are associated with certain family members, such as the eldest son, second daughter or youngest son, and depending on the shape, condition and existence of these mountain forms in relation to the burial site, it will have varying effects on these family members.  If one of these mountain branches is broken or has a negative condition, this will negatively affect the associated family member and their lineage.

Many of the problems we face today in our lives and in our society is due in part to the lack of knowledge of feng shui application to burial ground selection, the lack of land for burials and various religious rituals such as cremation that burns the body.  When the bodily remains are destroyed, the blood and DNA frequencies are no longer intact and cannot be used to absorb positive earth energies to benefit posterity.  This results in future 

generations being unstable in health, intelligence and negatively impacts humanity.

Feng shui today in the western world is still very much focused on the buildings for the living.  It is the few rare, true feng shui masters who are still trained in and have the knowledge to select auspicious burial grounds.  Just as you would have a feng shui master come to help you select a house, you should have one come to the cemetery to help you select an auspicious final resting place.  Similar to the house, it is vital for the burial site to be located in an ideal mountain formation.  Only the expert feng shui master will be able to detect these.  Once the burial site is selected, the feng shui master will be able to tell you how to lay the coffin in the ground so that the deceased may rest in an auspicious direction.  Finally, an auspicious date for the funeral is selected.  

In the feng shui philosophy where everything is made of energy or chi, there is no separation between life and death.  Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it only changes form and phase.  Death is not the end, it is only a metamorphosis into the beginning of another life.  Thus, when a loved one passes, it is important to remember that their energy continues to affect us and it is important to continue taking care of them through a positive resting place as their well being will directly affect us even when they are no longer here.
