Are you planning to get a new home? Or an investment? Before you do so, I would recommend you to follow this basic guidelines before proceeding to sign on any deal.
EXTERNAL FACTORS/IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT
Ideally, observe the immediate surrounding environment or Landform for the so called negative energy. High tension wires running through a housing estate, pylons, stagnant pool of water/drain are big no-no’s. Having mountains and running water located nearby, could very well bring tremendous positive Qi/energy to this place. Ideally, these mountains should be located at the back of the property, bringing support and stability to the residents.
The quality of the soil too, is a crucial part in house selection! Yes, the quality and the colour of the soil matters too! In the practice of Vaastu, the Vaastu Master even tastes the soil to decide on its quality! You will have to dig two to three feet to see the real quality of soil. Soggy, water-logged land is inauspicious, in term of poor health for the occupants. Dry, barren land with huge rocks,where its difficult for growth, stumps the growth of the occupants.
The shape of the plot, should be a regular shape,a square or rectangle. Missing sectors in a plot signifies a missing Qi sector in your home, as every sector has its own energy representing an area in our life. For example, if the plot has a missing East, the occupants would face consistant health problems and will have problems in conceiving sons.
Roads and Junctions near the proposed site or plot need to be studied. The T-junction is known to bring negative Qi into the home that has its main door facing the junction. As the traffic moves at high speed, therefore it is seen as sending shar chi or negative energy rushing and hitting the house sitting at the junction. However, if you have already purchased a home that faces a T-junction, the prescription would be to ideally plant shrubs or a row of plants to absorb the negative energy. Alternatively, the main door could be shifted.
HOUSE FACING/SITTING DIRECTION
Knowing your Gua number; (Calculated using the BaZi formula) would enable you to decide on the facing direction of your home. You are able to choose the house that benefits you the most. I am a Gua 8; therefore my best directions would be the Southwest;the sheng chi (Success) and the Northeast; Fu Wei. (Growth).
Ideally, I would prefer my sitting to be Northeast as than it would be aligned to my growth chi. My main door would then, open out to the Southwest, and invite the Sheng Chi into my abode! Excellant! However that is not the case, as my house sits southwest and faces Northeast! It’s a Northeast 1, period 8 house!
You cannot find a perfect home that’s 100% perfect, make the most of what you have, its possible and simple, brings tremendous luck and changes into your life, trust me!
INTERIOR FACTORS/ HOUSE PLAN
The main door of a home is the ‘mouth’, where the good Qi is sucked into the abode! Therefore, it is absolutely important, to ensure the main door’s location in the house.
First and foremost, you must be able to decide on the location of the main door for the home; as some houses have two or more entrances. (You could refer to my previous posts on how to decide the facing direction of your home.)
Next, the view from the main door should not be obstructed by lamp posts, pylons, mountains, or a single huge tree. Check on beams running across the main door.
The architects who design Malaysian homes should have some basics on Feng Shui. Just look at how the master bedroom toilet upstairs is aligned perfectly well above the main, grand entrance of your new home! These are homes where you chalk out a hefty MYR 300,000. I rest my case!
Karthar Diamond; a world renowned Feng Shui Master, refers to feng shui as ‘ASTROLOGY FOR ARCHITECTURE“. I absolutely agree with her!
Most of the houses, be it a single storey terrace or a bungalow ,tend to have their main door below the toilet! What a waste and loss for the occupants. Going in and out of the house daily, using this door that vibrates with negative energy in this sector! Some are lucky, as they could use another entrance point if there is more than one door. Absolutely, no toilets above your grand main entrance to your home! Period.
BEDROOMS - The next most important sector to take note off, would be the master bedroom and the little one’s room. Do you realise that you spend 1/3 of your life in your bedroom; after all you spend 8 hours daily,resting in you mansion or castle! Scout around the house, look out for beams running across the bedroom, and poison arrows.
POISON ARROW - are sharp corners pointing to the bed /main door/house. The sharp corner of a nearby building/wall/furniture, angled towards the bed/main door/house.
THE KITCHEN/PLACEMENT OF STOVE
The kitchens in Malaysian homes are usually located at the back of the house. Rarely do we find kitchens in the centre of a home; the centre of the home being the heart; you definatley dont want to burn your heart !
The latest innovation; being the island stove; whereby the stove is placed in the centre of the kitchen is frowned upon by feng shui skeptics. In a feng shui audit; the placement of the stove is given much consideration. I will explain further in my future posts on the role of the stove in feng shui!
Well, now that you have your checklist, start your house hunting; either as a home or investment! Good luck and do write or call if you have doubts or questions. I will find the time to answer all your mails!
