FENG SHUI HOUSE THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU

November 11, 2015 by Master Simona

feng_shui_house_2I often use the term “Feng Shui compatibility”, a phrase I made-up to explain how the energy of a building relates to the people living or working in it.

Feng Shui per se’ has a wide range of energy like the building’s energy, each person’s energy, the year’s energy, etc. and they all interact together, so the trick sometimes is how to prioritize in effectiveness and in the applications of corrections.

But when I talk about “building-person compatibility” in a Feng Shui House I refer specifically to how the energy of a building supports– or antagonizes– the person living or working in it.
Yes, the energy of a building can in fact support you or sabotage your efforts in creating your wellness, relationship, career, business, etc.
And if it is sabotaging you in many cases it can be corrected, but once in a while it cannot. In these particular cases, if your experience is really bad and nothing else works, it’s often just best to cut your losses and get out of the space. I usually never recommend people to move because with my experience I have many techniques I can use to improve their place and make it so that they do not need to move.

How do you know if a house has a Feng Shui that is good for you or not?  The simplest is the “empirical” way, meaning you move into a building and if your life improves it means the Feng Shui is good for you; if it gets worse, it means the Feng Shui is not good.

This is a bit drastic and time consuming, not to mention emotionally tiring. It is however the way most of us have done it and continue to do it.

Another, more effective way to know if you have a good Feng Shui House, is that of having a consultation with somebody like me, simply becasue I have trained longer and I can spot solutions faster. Then, during the usually two-hour process I can tell you:

  • What the problem is and how to fix it.
  • If it is really, really that bad and the cost of fixing it so high that makes more sense moving (this is very seldom and I usually advise for the improvements first anyway)

For example:

During my work as Feng Shui consultant, I was visiting a house in Pacific Palisades, CA yesterday and the woman living in it was a Wood person while the building itself was a Metal building.  Amongst other things (for various aspects of the house), I recommended using blue colors and water elements to decorate with to transform the incompatibility and mitigate the adverse effects the house would otherwise have on her.
In fact, Metal “chops” Wood, but if you had Water then metal feeds the Water and Water feeds Wood.
She was very receptive to doing this rather minor correction in favor of having a positive experience living there. That is one of the ways to turn a bad Feng Shui house into a good Feng Shui house.

Some cases can be easier than others, but there are things that can be done for every scenario, and in these days and age, seem we all need as much good energy as we can to support our endeavors.

We have seen in last week class on the Five Elements how each of us belong to an Element and what houses can be more or less compatible with us. We also learn what colors and elements to use to decorate our house to support our own energy.

Here are the Elements you should use based on your house orientation:

BUILDING FACES FIVE-ELEMENT
Facing North FIRE
Facing NorthEast EARTH
Facing SouthWest EARTH
Facing South WATER
Facing NorthWest WOOD
Facing West WOOD
Facing East METAL
Facing SouthEast METAL

If a person lives or works in a building that is not favorable to them, they should use the missing color and element to decorate the house or office with so as to turn the unfavorable match into a more favorable, positive one.The trick is to pair-up the element of a person with the element of a building. Ideally, the most compatible building for you is the one that belongs to the same element as you. That is a good Feng Shui house. We discussed more of this in our Five-Elements class. If you missed it, you can view the video recording of the whole class here.

One note of curiosity: most people who feel “good vibes” from a building are in fact experiencing a high level of compatibility from it, and as a consequence they usually end up buying or renting it. Some have described it as “like falling in love at first sight” with a building. I’ve found this to be the “Feng Shui reason” behind the expression “curb appeal.”

However, in Feng Shui it pays to take an even better, closer look, for not all buildings that are compatible with you are necessarily going to be good buildings based on the building’s own energy of construction (Building’s birth-energy). In fact, some of them could be so bad they could completely defeat the advantage of the compatibility.

FENG SHUI ARCHITECTURE: How To Hire a Qualified Feng Shui Consultant

July 16, 2015 by Master Simona

Feng_Shui_ArchitectureI had just been hired to review the plans for a new, sizable property in the West Los Angeles area. It is an interesting situation because I am faced with two challenges:

The first is: the design has been done by one of the most famous Los Angeles authority in the field of architecture – very high profile AIA senior member and a gentleman I have known and respected, as architect, for a very long time.

I am at an advantage in this case since I have also received an architectural training, hence I have more sensitivity toward the details of his design than a regular consultant would. In addition I have been teaching Feng Shui at the Department of Architecture and Interior Design of UCLA Ex. for 15 years, so I know how to give concise and sound instructions that are effective from both the Architecture and the Feng Shui perspective without interfering with the original creative thinking. In other word, I am less likely to butcher the project it in the name of Feng Shui.

My other professional challenge is that I am not the first or second Feng Shui opinion requested, but rather the third or fourth. It is not a real challenge thou, since most of the previous consultants did not specialize like I do in architectural projects, so I am pretty sure the solutions they provided are not as effective.

In fact, after reviewing the recommendations provided by previous consultants, I had to conclude that they are simply “inappropriate” for an architectural project. Obviously any of the previous consultant didn’t have an architectural training, and possibly a rather dubious Feng Shui training too (given some of the recommendations), and the kind of suggestions they had made were rather unsuitable for the lot, the architectural design and the lifestyle of the client.

Some has recommended to rearrange a few piece of furniture – which really doesn’t achieve much in a several thousand square feet home. Another has recommended to “flip” the floor plan on the lot (completely disregarding the zoning and building department requirement, BTW) and frankly not getting much of an improvement on a Feng Shui level. Yes, I know what you are thinking, but that is what you get when a consultant lacks proper Feng Shui training. I see this all the time.

So, after meeting with the owner and the design team, and after reviewing the entire property, I came up with six alternatives that still fit the city requirement and maintain the architect’s vision. Admittedly, some are probably more sensible then others, but they are all valid from a Feng Shui Architecture perspective.

After brainstorming with the architects and the property owner, we have narrow down our choices to one, which is under redesign right now. And all of this was accomplished in only two meetings. THIS is what you get when you hire a truly experienced and qualified consultant like myself or one of my FSA Training Center graduates.

What about the previous consultations, you may ask? Well, my client is not going to get any benefit and no reimbursement either from any of them. So I guess they were a waste of time and money. That is why choosing a really qualified consultant is important (and make sure they credentials are verifiable too).

Whether you are designing a new building, renovating one or planning to purchase one to live or work in, you can most certainly benefit from having a Feng Shui consultant working along the side with you to make sure your project is successful. Because since building effects occupants, the Feng Shui of your building is going to have an effect on you too.

But when you deal with an architectural project, the skills and knowledge of the consultant you choose will make all the difference, as they have made for my client.

If you’re planning on hiring a consultant and are not sure about their qualification, drop me a line and I will be happy to give you some “pro” suggestions. Or visit our site at www.fengshuiarch.com to learn more on what you should be looking for when hire a Feng Shui professional.
