Regional Feng Shui

Feng Shui guidelines and cures that work in one geographic area may not apply to the style of home found in another geographic area.

Does this mean you can't have your split-level house in the Northeast or your vigas and kiva fireplaces in the Southwest? Of course not! No matter where you chose to live, and no matter whether you live in a house, apartment, or condo, it takes the right knowledge of Regional Feng Shui to cure some of the most common problems.

  • Your surroundings have a powerful effect on what you attract into your life.
  • When the energy (called chi) around you is blocked or unbalanced, your prosperity, health, and relationships can be adversely affected.
  • You may love a particular style of home and home furnishings, but the way in which you arrange them may block the positive energy from the land forms around you.
  • That is where Regional Feng Shui comes into play. It gives you a plan to arrange your home in harmony with the environment around you.
  • Regional Feng Shui improvements act like acupuncture for your home, unblocking the flow of positive energy, removing negative energy, and allowing you to achieve your goals.

 

 


Homes in the Northeast
(Maryland, DC, Northern Virginia, New York City, New Jersey)

Do you live in the Northeast where center hall colonials, split levels, and 2-story foyer houses predominate? Here are some of the issues that can be addressed by Regional Feng Shui:

Do you have clutter in your basement or attic?
Energy cannot circulate around you, resulting in health and relationship problems.

Do you sleep in a bedroom above a garage?
You could have sleep problems, since there is nothing under you for support, or health problems due to exhaust fumes.

Do you have a bathroom at the top of the stairs?
You could have wealth problems, since your abundance and prosperity flow directly to the "waste" area of your home.

Do you have a deck off the back of your home?
A deck causes your home to be missing an area of the Feng Shui bagua, or mapping chart, which can result in money or relationship problems.

Is your house located on a busy street, cul-de-sac, or T-junction?
Poison arrow chi may be causing accidents and negative events in your life.

Do you have a driveway next to your home or an alley in back?
The proximity to cars, traffic and sometimes trash can reduce the peace, security, and harmony in your home.

Are you a city dweller living in a small apartment with limited closet storage space?
Where you keep clutter says a lot about what is missing in your life, and cluttered closets represent the inability to move forward.

Homes in the Southwest
(Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Los Alamos, Phoenix, Denver)

Do you live in Southwest where flat-roof pueblo style homes, exposed vigas and beams, open kiva fireplaces, and rambling floor plans predominate? Here are some of the issues that can be addressed by Regional Feng Shui:

Are there vigas or beams in your bedroom?
Heavy weight overhead can have a negative effect on your marriage.

Is there a ceiling fan directly over your head?
Drilling or corkscrew energy from a fan can harm your health.

Do you have open kiva fireplaces in your home?
You can lose energy in a room through an open fireplace.

Do you have an irregular-shaped lot?
A lot wider in the front can make holding on to money and possessions difficult.

Do you have cactus or thorny plants along the path to your home or near the front door?
Plants with sharp leaves near your front door may discourage guests and friendships.

Do you have dead trees on your property?
Dead trees represent stagnant energy that could be affecting your health.
