The phone rings and I answer it. Before I could say a word, a woman introduces herself as Vicki and begins firing a series of questions at me: is it bad feng shui that her main door faces a stairway? What happens if there is a low ceiling in her living room? Do exposed beams in the master bedroom affect her feng shui?
I tell Vicki that in the feng shui analysis of a home, there are 130 factors involved, as well as each resident’s birth chart and personal energies. All of these interacting energies play a part in influencing the success, relationships, and health that can be experienced in the house.
When evaluating a house’s feng shui, being on site and personally meeting the residents allows for a more accurate analysis than via telephone. It is hard to address Vicki’s questions with any specificity over the phone. However, as long as there is an understanding that there are other aspects involved, I explain the general ideas behind her questions and the general solutions starting with her first question about stairways.
A stairway is a potentially dangerous source of energy, for every step protrudes and can be harmful. Generally speaking, a stairway in front of your door may induce negative occurrences within the house, such as arguments or money loss. Depending on the direction in which the staircase is located and its association with the residents’ energy, it may invite other problems, such as surgery, lawsuit, car accident, business failure, and so forth.
There are several possible solutions that can improve the energy of a stairway that is creating negativity if they are implemented correctly. One solution is to relocate the stairs. Another solution is to place a crystal with protective energies by the main door. Many times, we hang a wind chime in front of the stairs to disperse the negative energy. The most effective way to release the negative energy of an incorrectly oriented staircase is to use a charm empowered by an enlightened master of feng shui.

To answer Vicki’s question about ceilings, when a ceiling is too low, it can suppress the body’s life force, or chi. A person affected by this suppression tends to feel stuffy, dizzy, and unfocused, and will function as if they are half awake. In other instances, their body simply feels uncomfortable. I ask Vicki if she feels this way. She tells me that in the last three years that she has lived in her current house, she has been ill tempered, forgetful, and accident-prone. She is also anxious and unable to breathe deeply. I advise her to put a large mirror up on the wall to give the room a spacious feeling and to bring in more light. Making this adjustment, along with exercise, meditation, and a proper diet, can help relieve Vicki of this constriction.
Vicki’s third question is about exposed beams in the bedroom. Beams are load-bearing structures that radiate a suppressive energy frequency. A body part that is consistently exposed to the suppressed energy of a beam may experience stagnant chi. For instance, if you are lying in bed and a beam hangs over your feet, you may experience foot or ankle problems; if it hangs over your head, you may have headaches; if it hangs over your chest, you may have respiratory problems. Much of the effect an exposed beam has on a person depends on the strength of their personal chi. When a person is physically strong and healthy, they may not be affected as much.
Vicki tells me that when she is in bed, one of the beams directly aligns with the length of her body. She doesn’t sleep well and wakes up with stiff joints. I recommend that she move her bed out from under the beam, use crystals to enhance her personal energies, remove the beams, or cover them somehow. She also needs to take better care of her own health.
As I wrap up the phone call, I tell Vicki that when a person’s heart chakra radiates pure energies, generally bad things should not happen to them. If the heart chakra’s aura is dark or weak, it could have been lowered by the energies of the house, the planetary movements, the person’s lifestyle, or the energy of enemies who channel negative vibrations to them. The very best thing you can do to improve your situation in life is to maintain your health and cultivate strong, positive
chi.
