A Fishy Story
By Joey Yap
A fish is after all, just a fish. Its main preoccupation being to swim around in your fish tank and provide the odd child or two some meager entertainment as they pass by the aquarium.
ItÆs not often that I get urgent calls from non-clients literally screaming at me to help them but thatÆs what happened just the other day.
It seems, a very agitated Mrs Chan had the unfortunate coincidence of having one of her fishes go belly up on her. She was distraught û not because the fish had died- but because she had heard somewhere that when her pet goldfish dies, it has literally æsacrificedÆ its life to protect Mrs ChanÆs.
ôThank goodness the goldfish absorbed the bad luck meant for meö, as she so eloquently put it.
I calmed Mrs Chan down first, reassuring her that there were no terrible accidents or falling comets headed her way. Only then did I manage to get a word in and let her know in no uncertain terms that her poor goldfish had not died in a sacrificial act to save her life and given a choice, I doubt it would want to in the first place. Simply put, thatÆs not itÆs purpose.
Needless to say, Mrs. Chan was a tad bit disappointed.
ôI thought you were a Feng Shui expert?ö, she said, almost skeptically. ôIÆve read in a few Feng Shui books that say itÆs good when a fish you keep dies because it has sacrificed its life to absorb the evil effects or negative energies meant for the owner.ö
ôThis also you donÆt know wan ah?ö, she retorted with a cutting colloquial slang.
Those who know me will know that I love a challenge. And Mrs. Chan provided just such a challenge on this sunny Monday afternoon.
I explained, as clearly as I could that this notion of the æsacrificial fishÆ was nothing more than an old wives tale. And naturally IÆd heard about it, but fact of the matter was, this was in no way Feng Shui. It was pure superstition, plain and simple
A fish is after all, just a fish. Its main preoccupation being to swim around in your fish tank and provide the odd child or two some meager entertainment as they pass by the aquarium. It doesnÆt have any special, magical powers! And unless you happen to have some sinisterly magically endowed fish, there is no way itÆs going to partake in æabsorbingÆ your bad luck.
Instead I recommended that she check the water in her tank or maybe get an expert to see if the poor fish had some sort of skin disease. I also suggested that she should perhaps get the water cleaned more often and the filter changed.
My short Feng Shui lesson over the phone seemed to calm down Mrs. Chan who finally understood and felt better by the end of our conversation.
The reason I am sharing this with you is to provide you with an idea of the many fallacies that often literally paralyze people.
It is the element or polarity of æwaterÆ that we need to use when an aquarium is prescribed in a Feng Shui consultation. Water is Yang and active energy - even when itÆs still, water particles are constantly moving. We use water to harness the Qi in the environment or home. The fishes in the tank merely keep the water lively and active; other than this, they serve no real Feng Shui purpose.
Furthermore, Feng Shui is not about having your pets æsacrificeÆ themselves like lemmings leaping into water. If you are planning on having an aquarium, make sure the water is clean and healthy for your fishes.
To truly activate Qi in Feng Shui, the crucial point to take into account is the LOCATION of the water or aquarium. It has nothing to do with your fishes, regardless of what types of fishes you may rare (again another fallacy being that KoiÆs or ArowanaÆs bring you abundant wealth).
Kuo Po (believed to be the ancient founding father of Feng Shui) himself, in the very basic theory of Feng Shui, wrote that ôQi is dispersed by the wind and gathers by the boundaries of waterö. Water has this ability to allow Qi to collect and settle. Which is why a good practitioner will recommend that his/her client position an aquarium or pond in the section of the house where good Qi resides.
So, the next time you hear a friend proudly declare just how noble their now-dead fish was, tell them this story. IÆm hoping my article will at least go some way towards changing this archaic mindset. You need to be very sure on the difference between true classical Feng Shui and popular Chinese superstition; they are really two very different things.
