The Energy of Homes from a Feng Shui Perspective
Last night I wrote about the sometimes imperceptible energy that children feel in a home. Often times as adults we don't get the same feelings. Feng Shui & Children: A New York Feng Shui Consultant's Thoughts by Feng Shui Long Island & NYC It reminded me of a recent trip we were taking to go to one of our favorite old time Restaurants on Long Island located in Westbury, New York. It's a very special place and is only open during specific hours.
Parking for this small place is difficult so we went down the block...and came across a home that was going to auction. As a Feng Shui Consultant, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go inside; I thought the energy in the home might be very sad. Then again, curiosity takes over; from the outside I was surprised at the condition of the home. Westbury is a lovely town in Long Island and very convenient to shopping and dining. It is also only one town away from Mineola, with Winthrop Hospital-one of our finest on Long Island and the Long Island Rail Road with New York City being just about ½ hour away.
Tree lined streets, manicured lawn and a perfect area to live. The outside sign said the bidding would be starting at just $50,000 and most likely in this particular location of Westbury Long Island I would have guessed this home to previously been sold for over $600,000.
We joined the line to go inside and just as I stepped inside, I almost stopped short. Laura noticed and was not surprised, she'd felt the same way. So apparently had the child behind us. Having been very well behaved I saw that as soon as he entered he started to whine. I stood off to the side and watched as his mother pulled him inside which resulting in his crying. I had no doubt he was feeling what some of us, grownups and other children alike were. There was a heaviness in that house, a sadness that was overwhelming.
Laura went inside to snap a few pictures and noticed something unusual....people were on a "self" tour and viewing the downstairs but very FEW ventured upstairs. They were mostly exiting through the back door without seeing anymore. We both felt it was because the energy in the home was so strong...the only visible signs of any damage were on the floor as you can see from the pictures. In fact, when I saw them I thought the house looked cared for---by someone.
We've all felt these homes, you don't have to be a Feng Shui Consultant to FEEL a home. And you don't have to be a child....energy leaves behind IMPRINTS. I couldn't help but think how much a Feng Shui space clearing could have helped. Feng Shui Predecessor Energy: IMPRINTS! by Feng Shui Long Island and New York City (
