Liu Feng Shui Grand View is the trademark philosophy developed by Grand Master Chi-Jen Liu. From decades of research and experience in feng shui and related studies, he has defined 130 factors that affect who you are.
These factors are energy forces that influence your well-being and success in life. They can affect you at any given time and their strength varies depending on your priorities, stage of life, way of life, and your awareness. The holistic consideration of all of these influential factors, or grand view perspective, gives you the ability to truthfully see yourself within the context of your life.
The 130 factors can be categorized into two types: 1) predestined and 2) adjustable. You have little control over the predestined factors that established the foundation of your life. The adjustable factors are more easily changed and developed to promote your well-being. Because everything is connected, when you improve one factor, you trigger a chain reaction that affects other factors and creates positive change in your life.
This article series on Grand View Feng Shui will reveal the 130 factors so that you can explore how these forces define and affect who you are. Hopefully, this awareness inspires you to make adjustments for the better.
Factor #10: Birthplace
The country, state, or city in which you are born will influence your life. If a person was born in a developing third world country such as Ethiopia, his or her life will be very different from someone who was born in a metropolitan city in America.
A person’s life must be evaluated within its own context. What may be deemed as poor in one place may be considered rich in another. A beautiful example of this can be seen in the documentary, Babies by filmmaker Thomas Balmes. In this documentary, Balmes takes the viewer through the early development of four babies from different parts of the world: Africa, United States, Mongolia, and Japan. Though the four babies in the film were born very close to the same time, you will see how their place of birth uniquely informs their daily lives and beyond. Along with the unique parenting approaches and lifestyles, ultimately all four babies show similarities as they explore, play, and take their first steps.
Be aware of your birthplace and the potential it offers your life. If it is a compatible direction in which to establish yourself and supports your well-being, you may consider staying close to your birthplace. If you feel that your birthplace does not support you, then it may be time to find the place that does.
