VIOLENCE IN OUR SCHOOLS and FENG SHUI

by Dr. GUY FERRU
 

Every day, we see a dramatic increase in violence, especially in schools. It is a “hot” subject, many reports are offered by experts and yet they have little solutions upon atmosphere at school. Most studies focus on the symptoms (incidents at school) while only a few examine the source of these tragedies. Rooting out the source is the only way to cure violence at school.

We need to understand “WHY?”  Why kids so violent? What is influencing them to develop violent personalities or act out?
 
The personality is comprised of three component; which are rarely equal (one can be more important than another).

        1- HEREDITY: is what we inherit from our  ancestors and is coded in our genes.  Hopefully, it is not the most prominent factor in our personality because we cannot change it.

        2- EDUCATION: our teachers and educators do their best to provide a good and positive education to our children.

        3- ENVIRONMENT: has usually the strongest influence on our personality. And most importantly, we are fortunate in that, it is also the part that we can change NOW. Our environment is composed of different shapes, colors, and sounds, each creating a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE pattern of  vibrations. These vibrations will change our personality for the good or the bad! 
 

For example:
            * Negative vibrations from violent movies or entertainments, discordant music, disharmony in the color or the shape of a room or a building, can create a violent personality.
            * Positive vibrations from beautiful music, non-aggressive architecture or pleasant natural surrounding, will foster a non violent, well balanced, and happy personality.

THE SOLUTIONS TO STOP SCHOOL VIOLENCE MUST BE EFFECTIVE AND FAST ACTING!


The ancient Chinese Art and Science of Feng Shui provides us an immediate solution “NOW.”

For thousands of years, Chinese Feng Shui practitioners have noticed that the vibrations emitted by shapes, colors, and sounds can affect both personality and behavior.

Examples are many:
        - sharp corners, irregular proportions (in a class room) or disharmonious sculptures disturb concentration and increase aggression.
        - round forms or symmetrical proportions will increase harmony and enhance focus and power of concentration.
        - the color red will increase aggression.
        - while the colors blue or green will enhance harmony and aptitude for learning.

It is important to understand the harmonics of color combinations:
              -  red is in harmony with yellow, green, tan and beige.
              - tan and yellow are in harmony with red and white.
              - white is in harmony with tan and blue.
              - blue is in harmony with white, black and green.
              - green is in harmony with blue, black and red.

Sounds too, have a very strong impact on the personality:
       
        - The discordant beat of Rap music, by the disharmony of the sound and the content of its message, influences children to feel more aggression causing some to have the urge to act out in violence.
        - Harmonious music such as sound of Mozart, will have the opposite effect.  Numerous studies have documented that Mozart in the background in a classroom, soothes the mind, increases the power of concentration and decreases violence. This is why the Georgia’s Gouverner decreed to give all newborn a CD. Of such music. For this same reason, played on campuses, Mozart music enhances harmony and friendship.

The first step in this direction was made by the State of Florida where by law, Mozart music is played for half one hour each day in preschool.

We must do everything in our power to eliminate violence in our school today.
           
We should employ all methods with our reach including Feng Shui.
