Tailor made homes from the stars

The couple who sold their home at a loss after discovering it had a grisly past could have avoided mental and financial upset by using a feng shui new home consultancy service before even offering a deposit. We now know that the law puts no obligation on a vendor to disclose the history of a property.

(PRWEB) March 14, 2004 --Give the feng shui 'time and space' practitioner some details of the people who will live in the house, its layout and its physical location in terms of waterways, roads, hills and imposing buildings, the direction it faces and the time it was built and an expert like Alan Stirling, a founding member of the Feng Shui Institute, will spot any problems, existing and predicted - they can be financial, to do with relationships or with health - associated with the property.

Alan Stirling explained, "It is all to do with natural energy or qi. Time and space feng shui (Xuan Kong Fei Xing) has been studied and practised in China for 1,500 years. Based on physics and natural laws it studies changes in energy over time.

"If your home naturally contains ones favourable qi then quality of life will be enhanced. If the energy of your home controls or weakens your personal qi then this will create stress and hinder health and well being."

In many cases there are solutions which can ameliorate most of the problems. A feng shui consultation is used to balance an environment in favour of a person's qi. This element is determined from your Chinese astrology chart. Interior design advice is given in terms of colour, shapes and furniture and the correct positioning of them will reduce stress and improve health. And that helps all relationships.

Alan Stirling adds, "Once the home is naturally balanced it is possible to find the area of the house with the most vibrant qi. In this area you can harvest natural energy that will create opportunities that increase wealth and well being. Without this area activated opportunities can slip through your fingers - not something you would want when moving home!"

EDITOR'S NOTE: Feng shui house checks cost as little as 150, varying by the size of the property and the number of people living or working there. They can be carried out on line or by site visit.
