Feng Shui and Health Issues: As a Feng Shui Consultant and Teacher, I have written about what I consider to be things to watch out for in Feng Shui that relate to health--which I am ALWAYS mindful of. I have written about Leaks as they relate to Feng Shui, Ceiling Fans (which most of my clients do NOT want to part with), some staircases depending on the placement and the way they were built....and BEAMS.
Some of these have what is called in Feng Shui "Cutting Chi" or "Cutting Sha" which literally means they are dangerous points to stay away from because they can-from a Feng Shui Perspective-cut into your body and create health issues, something none of us want.
Something I found my Long Island clients sleeping under during renovations--they were moved to the Living Room that day!
Your HEALTH in Feng Shui from a Feng Shui Consultants' Point of View
It would have been nice if, as a Feng Shui Consultant who practices in New York and Long Island, I had taken my own advice. When moving into the apartment I am now in while my own home is being renovated, there is one beam that hangs down. Of course I saw it....
It was my son, Adam, who went to Ikea to pick up the furniture I purchased there to bring here to use; I wanted to be comfortable here. I am not very familiar with Ikea, I had only been there once and found if you don't follow the arrows and footprints, you can get lost in that store for a VERY long time : ) But they have wonderful prices and this is temporary furniture.
I chose a couch that opens to sleep in, two end tables, 4 lamps, a tv stand, a kitchen table with 4 chairs, a bed for the one bedroom and two tables---for the amazing price of $750.00. And Adam brought the furniture here while I was working on a Feng Shui consultation in the beautiful town of Oyster Bay to set it up---starting with the existing cable wires.
When I came here it had taken him 6 hours to assemble everything and put It together. And the couch/sleeper was located directly under the beam. I won't be here long, I thought to myself---and left it. Sleeping under it and after a week or two, finding myself tired and out of sorts. I wondered if it was the beam but hated to ask him to re-arrange the furniture. I began to wake up with headaches that persisted through the day. I now KNOW it was the beam....and it was time to make the dreaded call.
"Why?" asked Adam, "is it a Feng Shui thing?" I sure thought it was; he came over that afternoon, made some changes and got me out of that beam. For the last few days I have been feeling just FINE.
This is what happens when a Feng Shui Consultant doesn't take her OWN advice. Yet another lesson learned and I hope it encourages YOU to take a walk through your OWN home and look for Feng Shui Health related issues.
