Progress, and the new decking and veranda to Number 3 is in place and providing the location to ensconce myself upon a chair to imagine the beneficial Chi I hope to create. I m sitting on the chair because this is the place I want as the core of Chi, a place where the energy of my surroundings come to me and harmonise me. I want to be captive to the Chi of my surroundings and I visualise this location on the veranda is an ideal place to come and enjoy my surroundings.
But I need to do an assessment and taking my trusty compass I notice an easterly to north easterly aspect falls into my arc of vision from the chair. It s ideal for morning sun and cool on shore breezes in summer. The relocatable home behind me shelters from the colder and gusty winds and a screen I want to locate along the southern boundary will shelter from undesirable views and blustery southerlies.
I m not concerned about getting Yin and Yang imbalance or fine tuning Chi with five element balance although a dominance of the elements of wood and earth abound. My immediate concerns were poison arrows or Sha Chi intrusions. These create disharmony from that chair on the veranda. I notice a garden shed in its Mission Brown has a profound effect on imagery and Chi flow. Beside it is an electrical sub box located on a stand and also painted in a Mission Brown. It needs to be relocated and that will become an expense. Adjoining the meter box are two trees, one a Cocos Palm and the other a Eucalyptus which has its head blown out from winds. Both are safety hazards and obtrude their Chi over the veranda.
Casting an eye across to the adjoining garden I notice a garden shed also intruding on its Chi and the relocatable itself is also a Sha Chi element. Gosh I notice a concrete drain extruding across a lawn area, a real poison arrow and finally, located along the southern boundary the relocatable and another garden shed.
My quest for harmony within the gardens of Number 3 will depend on the dismantling of the energies the Sha Chi intrusions present and these will be my principal tasks before locating gardens and finetuning beneficial Chi which I know will follow.
Before I leave the chair on the veranda of Number 3 I notice I can capture the Chi from the surroundings to the garden. Firstly I gaze down onto a tidal estuary which flows into the ocean and enjoy the life it produces. Behind the creek is a nine hole golf course and scenery of fairway, people and native wildlife including a mob of Grey Kangaroo. What a blessing to have such wonders built into the landscape and these are my treasures. I also notice my borrowed scenery includes the recently established gardens of Number 1 Lorikeet and I propose to marry these into the gardens of Number 3 to form a cohesive unit.
