The Existing Feng Shui
of Home/Office Affects
Your Daily Life…
Whether You Want It To Or Not!!
by P.K. Odle, The Feng Shui Advantage
Feng Shui isn’t something you choose to have in your life… it’s something you choose to manage, because all buildings have Feng Shui influences from the moment they’re built that affect your finances, health and relationships. Ignoring the existing Feng Shui of your home and office can be dangerous.
There’s far more to managing the Feng Shui of your home or office than clearing your clutter, moving your furniture, covering mirrors or closing doors. The majority of the Feng Shui influences on your daily life are unseen. Just like with an iceberg it’s what you can’t see that causes the most damage.
FORM SCHOOL FENG SHUI… The only layer of the 5 layers of Classical Feng Shui influences which involves environmental aspects that are visible or in form. For instance, exposed beams, sharp angles, T-intersections and sleeping in-line with an open door… all create a direct hit of Qi (the life force energy of the Universe) which leads to health problems and other types of problems. . Two openings (doors or windows) that are in-line with each other, a steep slope on your property or fast moving traffic all cause you to lose Qi, which reduces your prosperity. Stairs in-line with your entrance and/or walls/trees/bushes too close to your entrance all block Qi from entering your home or office, which causes stagnation.
FENG SHUI ENERGY BLUEPRINT… Your body has a unique DNA pattern from the moment of your birth and your home/office has an inherent Feng Shui energy blueprint from the moment the 4 walls and roof were connected to the Earth in a specific magnetic direction. Your genes contribute to you’re being more susceptible to one health problem over another. The same is true for the Feng Shui energy blueprint of your home and office.
Classical Feng Shui is a sister science of Acupuncture that uses time-tested calculations to determine which of the 5 elements (earth, metal, water, wood, and fire colors) are necessary in an area to remedy any sabotaging energies that contribute to health, relationship and financial problems. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect Feng Shui building, because all buildings have a combination of sabotaging and supportive energies. Both of these Chinese sciences have a 5,000-year history of improving lives by working with the unseen energies that have been present in our bodies and buildings since the dawn of time.
All buildings are categorized as these 5 Feng Shui HOUSE TYPES
according to their Energy Blueprint or Cyclical Energy influences, which are:
Good for People, Good for Money
Good for People, Bad for Money (causes career & financial problems)
Good for Money, Bad for People (causes health & relationship problems)
Bad for People, Bad for Money (cause both types of problems)
LOCKED House (see the Cyclical influence section below)
Classical Feng Shui remedies strategically placed outside of a home or office can neutralize the negative affects of a Bad for People and/or Bad for Money house. The remedy to release a Lock is also best positioned outside, but on occasion it can even work from the inside.
CYCLICAL FENG SHUI INFLUENCES…Classical Feng Shui and Acupuncture are based on the Book of Change or Yi Jing (I Ching was the old English spelling) that explains why everything in the Universe is in a constant state of change. Neither science has one-size-fits-all answers to any given circumstance, because there are hundreds of possible energy combinations and cyclical influences to consider.
The Cyclical Feng Shui influences are based on the Chinese SOLAR Calendar that starts on the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox that usually falls on February 4th or 5th. Cyclical influences are broken down into two time periods that include locked phases, which are:
20 year CONSTRUCTION CYCLE that influence…
Energy Blueprint of new construction.
Where a Water feature will enhance or reduce Prosperity.
Direction everyone needs to keep clean & uncluttered to
avoid Financial, Health and problems for everyone.
ANNUAL that influence…
Adjusting remedies within the building to avoid negative circumstances created by the interaction of the visiting Annual Energy with the building’s inherent Energy Blueprint.
Direction to avoid Broken Glass to prevent splitting apart of a
relationship or your skin from cuts and/or surgery.
Where to avoid Digging and/or Construction
LOCKS (which can be 20 year Construction Cycle and/or ANNUAL)…
People LOCK creates Health & Relationship problems
Money LOCK creates Career & Financial problems
Buildings can even be Locked on Both for one year…
Or they can be Locked for consecutive years.
PERSONAL TRIGRAM 45° FENG SHUI DIRECTIONS… From the moment of your birth you have a unique relationship with the magnetic energies of Earth. Each of us is born into one of the 8 Trigrams of the Yi Jing:
Your Personal Trigram relates to a family member in a traditional Chinese family, which reveals your natural personality. For instance, a Gen Trigram person is stable, youthful, but can be stubborn because they are the Yang Earth (mountain) Trigram, which relates to the youngest son.
The colors that represent the element of your Personal Trigram and the colors of the element that is productive to your Trigram element are generally beneficial for you to wear, but that doesn’t mean they are appropriate for your décor.
The direction related to your Personal Trigram is considered your home direction and needs to be kept clean and uncluttered inside and outside of your home and office for your entire lifetime.
Your Personal Trigram determines your supportive and sabotaging 45° magnetic directions, including your most restful sleeping direction. Babies will naturally turn the tops of their heads toward their most restful direction while sleeping; because they haven’t been taught to care about the shape of the bed… they just know what feels good.
15° PERSONAL FENG SHUI DIRECTIONS… Barely 5% of all Feng Shui consultants have the knowledge to determine all nine of your 15° Personal Directions, which can over-ride your 45° Personal Trigram directions, because these are your most powerful directions. All of your Feng Shui Personal Directions can be activated by the orientation of your home or office and/or the location of openings (doors and windows). However, a few of your Feng Shui Personal Directions can be triggered by what direction is behind you when working or at the top of your head when sleeping.
All of your Feng Shui Personal Directions have beautiful Chinese names which confuse most of my readers… so I refer to them as your ' Lifetime Keys' because they affect you for your entire life and are the key to how you relate to the magnetic pull of Earth.
Intellect (left brain activities) vs. Talents (right brain activities)
Prosperous (attracts money) vs. Consuming (drains money away)
Robbery vs. Injury (angles causes repeated robberies or injuries)
Valued Friends (referral partners) vs. Lonely Pillow (sleep alone)
Fragile Luck (brings luck to you in its own timing)
Romance Vase (brings more romantic partners to choose from)
It’s always a wise financial investment to neutralize any sabotaging Feng Shui influences before they have an opportunity to interfere with the life you desire. However, it’s never too late to implement the necessary Feng Shui remedies for your home and/or office to improve your current circumstances. Of utmost importance are the Feng Shui remedies that have a direct affect on your health and relationships, because money can’t buy good health and harmonious relationships.
