Here’s an absolute truth about Foreclosed homes; most of them are not Feng-Schwayically sound. What does this mean? I’ve looked at a lot of houses over the years, and while poor Feng Shui design is not always why a home goes to foreclosure, when you know what to look for, foreclosed homes host a higher number of the ‘usual suspects’ that tend to drain money out of a home, than homes that do not have them. Because a home can have as many “prosperity” areas as it does separate rooms, there are many places to look for these financial energy drains.
Without exception, every foreclosed house that I have ever “inspected” has more than its share of financial energy drains. In the photo below, there is something about the dead trees & overgrown grass that add to the desolation of this foreclosure, but there is something more significant that could be a cause. The one thing that every house requires is a Mouth of Chi. Look closely. Do you see one? Well, there is a mouth of chi, but it is very much hidden, and not in one of the usual three areas in the front of the house. It is located on the far left, about halfway in the middle of the house. When chi has to work this hard to enter the house, its going to be weaker than usual.
1. A hidden or blocked mouth of chi is one of the top 5 contributors to possible foreclosures.
2. Unfortunate placement of a door, the stove, or both! In the example below, the kitchen is in the back of the house, along with the back door. This particular door has a piece of wood covering the doggy door, but it is the placement of the stove in line with the door that is a bigger problem. As we know, the stove represents our abundance, and our potential to increase it. Placing it in this type of location is like placing a stack of cash in front of a large vacuum. It just gets sucked out!
3. Missing areas that never get used is the third in the top five contributor list. When you have a house that is not a perfectly square, which includes most houses, you are bound to find what we call in Feng Shui a missing area. Basically, the space that is considered missing, is not underneath the roofline of the house, and almost looks as if it were a piece cut out of the whole. What you do with your missing area, is what truly matters. If you incorporate it into a beautiful garden design or create a relaxing sitting area with it, then that missing area becomes a part of the whole, and feels complete, regardless of the home’s design.
4. The back left of the house (in relation to your front door) represents the main area that corresponds to your finances. If that happens to be where your master bathroom is placed, then you will have to use a combination of the proper elements, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal, in order to balance out the overwhelming water and draining energy that is present in this room.
5. If the shape of your lot is incomplete in the area that corresponds to wealth and accumulation, then you will need to use the Method of Minor Additions to balance it. This method changes with the house, and can be as creative or as dull a correction as you would like to use.
The bottom line here is that one or two of the above listed characteristics is more of a nuisance that can easily be overcome by using Feng Shui knowledge of color, elements and other placement techniques to create wholeness and balanced. When a house has all of these and a few that aren’t listed, there is a high probability that money goes out faster than it comes in, and the probability of foreclosure is likely.
Ideally, all future homes would be built based on principles of Feng Shui that align specific rooms with the life areas that match them. For example, build so that the children’s rooms are located in the part of the home’s bagua that relates to Children/Creativity. Let the master bedroom be located in the Relationship area of the house, etc. A home that doesn’t need a Feng Shui correction would be so amazing. The homeowners would have balance in between their work and the relationships, good health, enough money, happy and creative children and great friends and family all around them.
When you consider that your home is most likely your biggest investment, it makes sense to use all available resources to protect it from foreclosure. Just imagine how much the property values might increase if none of the homes in your neighborhood looked like the ones posted above! For every imbalance that is created when Feng Shui wisdom is ignored, there is a corresponding and highly effective solution that you can implement to correct it.
You’ve probably been to someone’s house that just made you feel really relaxed and happy. You can’t really figure out what it is about their house, but you feel good when you are there. It may have been really fancy, or it may have been small and cozy. Either way, it was inviting, and the time you spent there was enjoyable. That is really what Feng Shui is all about. It isn’t some arbitrary way of forcing you to see the world or all the rooms in your house. It’s about enjoying the spaces where you spend your time, living a full and happy life and never settling for less than you want or deserve.
