House Hunting with Feng Shui - Part 3

If you already have a good external environment such as the auspicious mountains and water at the auspicious location, then your internal environment is used for fine-tuning qi in the environment, and to tap the auspicious qi for maximum benefit.

After examining the larger scale environment of 3km radius, then examine the area within 500 meters radius of the house when evaluating the immediate environment.

House Hunting with Feng Shui - Part 2

Drive around within a 3km radius of the house to observe the environmental forms that may affect the quality of qi in the area. While you are driving within the 3km radius of the property, consider the shape of land, type of land, mountain, landscape feng shui, and water form. I have described in part 1 about examining the lands and mountains in the external surrounding while hunting for your dream house.

In this article, you will learn about examining the water formations in the external surrounding. If the location of the water form in relation to the house is correctly oriented according to feng shui principle, money will never be a problem.

Water formation

In feng shui, having a correctly located natural water form is the most powerful feature that can enhance income and wealth.

Types of Exterior Natural Water Form:

 a)   Rivers and streams

 b)   Seas and oceans 

 c)   Plain lakes and ponds

Location, Location, Location

If you are a real estate investor, you would be most familiar with the 3 most important factors of property investment "Location, location, location". In Feng Shui, these factors are also significant. Wherever you choose to buy or rent a house, the location is the most important factor.

Location is important, as the external landscape is something that you cannot change. Fortunately, you can enhance or cure the feng shui of your house by changing the interior layout of your house. Sometime, a major renovation is needed and this is going to be expensive and messy. Plus, all the delay and heart-ache of moving into your dream house. But, any correction you make, is trying to avoid "sha qi" to improve the feng shui of your new dream house. You cannot move external mountains or water body or create external mountains and water bodies to create "sheng qi". In short, you can correct the landscape within your property, but you cannot change the external surrounding and landscape.

Anyway, what shall we examine about the external surrounding and landscape?

Firstly, get a map of the area, where the house is located. The map should show the hills, roads, rivers and other important features in feng shui. Roughly mark out a 3km radius boundary around the house. Then, drive around within a 3km radius of the house to observe the environmental forms that may affect the quality of qi in the area.

If you are internet savvy, "google earth" is a very useful tool that can assist you. Google earth will show you mountains, water, and structures that you will miss out.

Business Feng Shui - External Sha Qi

External Sha Qi

Do not have your main door or main entrance facing the edge of building, pillar or any poison arrows in the external environment of your business premise. 

When you see the edge of building or any poison arrows from the window, block the view with curtains or place a few pot plants to divert the bad qi, as these poison arrows emanate sha qi.

The example given here is a residential building. Imagine in the cities , there are highrise office complexes and the sha qi is stronger and more deadly.

Next, look out for symbolic decoration of the buildings around your business premise for cannon-like, knife-like or arrow-like structure that can bring disaster to your business. Sometime this happens because of business jealousy or rivalry. Sometime it was self-protection by a building owner, but subsequenlty created a feng shui war by neaighbouring buildings because of act of remedy. This may sound like a folk story or condemned to be not feng shui by some feng shui master. But, it is common in Hong Kong where feng shui is widely practised.
