aangsc Posted January 24, 2000 Share Posted January 24, 2000 I have read from a Lillian Too 's book that a five solid rod wind chime can be used to counter 5 yellows for year 2000, but I also read from this website that a 5 solid rods wind chime should not be used. Can someone please explain the significant and use of solid wind chime as compare to hollow wind chime.thks . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 24, 2000 Staff Share Posted January 24, 2000 Dear Ang,There are points of differences on hollow or solid rods:1. Hollow wind chimes is considered by some practitioners to `carry' Qi while not as effective with a solid rod i.e. solid rods are not used for feng shui because of this ineffectiveness.2. In terms of Five Elements, a solid wind chime is in one aspect considered to have more metal (solid rod) than a wind chime with hollow rods.3. Based on the Five element concept, a soild rod, has more metal than a hollow rod. One analysis here is that it is not adviseable to use solid rods particularly at metal locations e.g. NW or West and at NE (devil's gate).4. Para 3 applies more to locations at NW or West or at NE. Therefore, I am glad that you asked this question. As the assessement does not take into account Flying Star audit to check on the imbalances of various sectors, the above is just generalised statements.5. Alternatively, clocks with pendulum are better choice to enhance metal elements which provides a constant `tick-tock' sound.6. The saying goes "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Everything we do should have a purpose. It also does not hurt not to place an object at a location. If one must, if one can do a Flying Star chart to see if there is any excessive metal element at a sector.10. Another significance is that Five (5) represents the inauspicious star 5. I hope no one spend money and yet may get "burned" `playing' with windchime.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 1/24/00 6:48:09 PM, Anonymous wrote:I have read from a Lillian Too's book that a five solid rodwind chime can be used tocounter 5 yellows for year2000, but I also read fromthis website that a 5 solidrods wind chime should not beused.

Karen Posted January 25, 2000 Share Posted January 25, 2000 Hi Ang,I am not sure if you got Lillian Too correctly.Out of curosity, having read one of her earlier book, I dusted away the dust from it(nearly threw away this book).In her book Basic Feng Shu, an illustrated reference manual, published in June 1997, under Page 177 of this book, she wrote the following:"Para 1. Make sure the windchimes you use for feng shui reasons, have hollow rods.... When the rods are solid .... unsuitable for feng shui."Now you mentioned that she said that to use a five solid rod wind chime???Personally, I find that there are so many contraditions in her books that I threw them at a corner collecting dust. If this is true, I will certainly throw them away!Karen Quote On 1/24/00 6:48:09 PM, Anonymous wrote:I have read from a Lillian Too's book that a five solid rodwind chime can be used tocounter 5 yellows for year2000, but I also read fromthis website that a 5 solidrods wind chime should not beused.

Staff Robert Lee Posted January 26, 2000 Staff Share Posted January 26, 2000 Dear Ang Chye,Having read your message. I would like to query you on why do you want to hang a Wind Chime?Is it simply because year 2000, there is star 5? Or because the imbalance of the Star 5 in that sector has resulted in needing a Wind Chime to cure that sector?Personally, there are better cures than using Wind Chime (which in many cases have lots of complications such as different element types of rods, different number of rods, hollow or solid rods). Also, in placing a Wind Chime incorrectly, you will likely get more problems than solving the problem.You should only apply a cure if you know that there are imbalances in the sector.Although, star 5 is termed as a Sickness or Misfortune type of star, quite similar to Star 2. And both are of Strong Earth.However, what you are focusing on is that year 2000, star 5.In order to relate if this star is good or bad, you need to relate to the 20-year base star such as 6-3-8 (where Mountain & Water is related to the 20-year based star).When star 5 comes in it will be come 6-3-8 plus 5 year. This does not mean that 5 star will bring in bad luck or inauspicious sector.As for Flying Star, there are such issues as triple combinations such as Wood, Fire, Earth. This are considered harmonious combination, where they will in turn produce Metal and Water, creating harmony.So, in light of this, if you are wanting to put a Wind Chime simply because star 5 is in that sector that year, then please do not.Furthermore, there are other more effective cure than using a metal 5 solid rod wind chime. Such as the the 6 coins with a red string etc. These do not produce the risk of attracting playful imps nor do they have any complications. In fact, they are proven to be very effective cures for Star 2 and 5.However, as mentioned to you, this does not mean that I am telling you to use the 6 coins. As I do not know what is the actual imbalances you are facing to want to put up this cure, I cannot tell you want action you should take.Warmest RegardsRobert Lee Quote On 1/26/00 7:10:58 PM, Anonymous wrote:On 1/25/00 5:42:37 AM, Karen Goodmanwrote:Dear Karen,I am quite sure Lillian's new book foryear 2000 mentioned about using 5 solidrods but the objective of 5 rods windchimes is not for enhancing chi but tosuppress the 5 yellows.I was only browsing thru' her book onyear 2000 so I can't give any detail ofwhich page etc.Anyway, my confusion on wind chime wasthe many different applicationssuggested by different Feng Shuiexperts/practitioners.
