- Choosing a house with good feng shui
- Page [1] [2]

In today's society where most people are living in an urban jungle, it is becoming more difficult to find a house with good feng shui. If we were to look around our surroundings, we will notice that we are living in an environment that is surrounded by lots of man made sha qi.

To assess the feng shui of a property, one must study the effect of the environmental energies namely, the external and internal environment. The external environment refers to the surrounding environment or the topography of the neighbourhood such as the buildings, roads, seasonal wind directions, water features, landscapes, vegetation, shape and qi of the land. In the internal environment, feng shui focuses on the physical structure of the property such as the outlook, shape, layout, the orientation of the main door, the interior décor, the location of the bedrooms, kitchen and toilets.

In the eyes of feng shui, negative energies from the surrounding environment is far more potent than the orientation, design or layout of the house. Not all forms of feng shui sha qi can be cured with the use of feng shui placement. In the event where a house is threatened by strong environmental sha qi, it would be best to look for a new place to move instead of using feng shui to fight with the forces of nature. For instance, if the house is situated next to a power transmitter, it would be very difficult to apply feng shui cure to neutralize the electromagnetic energy that is being emitted by the high tension cables. In other words, it is easier to apply the art of feng shui to balance disharmony in the internal space of the house than to neutralize the destructive energy from the surrounding buildings, roads or features.

If a homebuyer has decided on a potential property one should walk around the compound to study the topography of the neighbourhood and to assess the nature of sha qi that is present in the surrounding environment. By observing the greenery and health of the surrounding vegetation, it should give a fairly good indication about the qi of the property. A house that is overshadowed by big trees tends to be more yin as it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate into the house. One must also beware of trees that have roots growing

underneath the house, which will affect the luck and health of the occupants.

Avoid buying a house that has hostile hills (such as protruding rocks) or harmful structures that is pointing directly at the house. As a rule of thumb, it is also not advisable to live in close proximity to places like:

1) Power transmitter tower, telecommunication station and satellite disc
2) Police station and military camp
3) Hospital, mortuary, crematorium and casket
4) Overhead expressway and train tracks
5) T-junction, Y junction, cross road junction
6) Places of worship
7) Cemetery
8) Industrial park

A house that is overshadowed by big trees tends to be more
yin as it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate into the house.

During a period when a person's luck is weakening, the negative energy from these buildings, roads and features will bring forth a series of misfortunes (such as health problems, financial woes, accidents, frequent quarrels and lawsuits).

One should also avoid living in a house that is sandwiched in between two huge buildings. The occupants of such a house may experience difficulty in their career advancement. They would face difficulties in receiving job recognition or support from their superiors and are frequently suppressed or bullied by others.

Similarly, if a house appears to be very small as compared to the surrounding buildings and that the frontage (ming tang) has also been blocked by a tall building, it will restrict the flow of qi, hence, giving the feeling of being suppressed which could affect one's health, luck and career prospects.

Roads and highways are like the arteries of the terrain that carries the qi to each house. The flow of qi from the road is viewed to have the same effect as a river. Houses that is located near to a busy road or the airport will tends to feel the ground vibration from the fast moving traffic or low flying aircraft. These vibrations will cause the house to tremble, thereby, giving a pyschological effect that the house is collapsing. A long-term exposure to such high intensity of air and noise pollution will undoubtedly affect one's rest, mood, health and destiny.
