Clocks In Feng Shui
Sometime back, we were handling a case where the customer was experiencing marital problem. The husband was often not home until the wee hours and sometime even stayed away from home for days. When we vistited the house, we were greeted by a huge grandfather clock in the hall. In the same hall, we noticed that there was another nice round clock hanging on the wall and a table clock sitting on top of the television. When we approached the couple's bedroom, again we noticed that there were two wall clocks and few alarm clocks sitting around. I could'nt help but ask the lady owner why they have that many clocks around. She answered with curiosity "Why?" "Simple", I replied, "You have so many clocks, some working, others are showing other than the right time, so which one do you want your husband to follow?" "Confusing, isn't it", I asked.
In Chinese culture, the pronunciation of the word "clock" sounds like "the end" which signifies ending of one's life or death. It has become a taboo for the Chinese to present clock as gift to others for fear of being accused of cursing the recipients. It may not be well received if the clock is positioned directly opposite the main entrance, or occupants and visitors will see "death" when they enter the house.
To see it in the logical sense, clock indeed has a place in affecting the welbeing of occupants in a living space. The moving hands of a clock generates motion in a space. It is particularly useful to refresh and move energy in a place that is often quiet or not occupied. Some practitioners use clocks as Feng Shui enhancers to enhance the auspicious energy in living spaces. Some modern clocks also play nice musics or metallic sounds that can use to lift up energy and in some instance use as metal cures for the misfortune and sickness stars (5 Yellow and 2 Black). However, it is not advisable to have too many clocks in a house and the size of clocks must be proportional to the space.
