Dear Aj,

The purpose of FS are two-fold:-

1. To neutralise Sha Qi and poison arrows.
2. To enhance beneificial Qi.

From the above, it is good to understand what Sha Qi is and poison arrows.

A. Poison Arrows.

Examples are:-

a. Another building with its corner pointed towards a house main entrance `posing as a threat' to the main door.

b. Some FS practitioners believe that open bookshelves with books is a poison arrow. This is where the edges of books act like `knives'.

c. Thus overall, one can imagine "poison arrow" as literally an arrow aimed at e.g. the main entrance door, through the window of the house or aimed at the person's body.

d. In the bedroom, it can be the edge of a table aimed at a person's bed.

e. A lamp post tangent to the main entrance symbolically acts like a knife slicing thru the main door (a threat).

B. Sha Qi

What has been mentioned above is a part of Sha Qi. Poison arrows, can be considered Sha Qi.

If we literally take the Mandarin character of Qi, it means `steam' or vapour or gas. This is hard to see or even visualise with the naked eye.

In this context, some may not consider `poison arrows' as Sha Qi but rather gases or the say the dangers of underground water ref: https://www.geomancy.net/fs/under.htm

Where Qi is closely related to `gases'.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
