Individual actions may have varied impacts. This element involves simplification, focusing our intention and energy, and eliminating extraneous diversions. It is often a prefatory action of clearing intention prior to direct raising of chi, enhancing the energy of individual users, or specific practices and rules. But because of our material-centered lives, it is valuable in considering in itself. It can include balancing, freeing or relocating bad chi and li, freeing a place from the detritus of its past lives, even exorcism of ghosts and spirits.
Internal clearing can result in life-long changes.
Clearing inherited chi patterns of a place can have long-enduring results. Attending to specific real-world psychological, cultural, and ecological problems of people and place is as important and effective as a grand theoretical approach to a situation. This includes symbolism reflecting philosophical, social, and cosmological principles in local surroundings, astrology, numerology, five elements, and the feng shui bagua. These are low on my personal list partly from my ignorance of some of the systems and partly from question of their efficacy, as currently understood. I sense major significance waiting to be uncovered here, very different from existing beliefs and practices.
