Sha Energy in Feng Shui - Noise Pollution

By
Home Stager with Feng Shui Manhattan Long Island #888
Over the weekend I worked with a client who lives in Nassau County, NY. During our Feng Shui consultation she brought up the topic of loud noises that have increased over the years within her neighborhood. She described noises relating to car traffic, airplanes, trains and at times late night neighborhood parties. She asked me, would this be considered a negative in the practice of Feng Shui?
The quick answer is, yes. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, noise pollution is defined as "unwanted or disturbing sound”. In modern-day Feng Shui practices we classify this as "sha", life draining energy.
In the article "Sha Energy in Feng Shui - Noise Pollution" I offer some additional insights about how noise pollution can affect our well-being, paired with the biggest culprits of noise pollution and some possible ideas in how to mitigate unwanted noise.

Too much noise certainly causes negativity for me, so I always turn away from it when I can.

Good morning Laura. My wife and I lived in downtown Chicago for a number of years and were always commenting on the noise from cars, trains, police sirens, ambulances and people shouting. Now we live far far away beyond the suburban sprawl. And, no noise pollution. What a definite change for the better. Enjoy your day.

Even in my neighborhood, the noise pollution has increased so much. I honestly am considering moving its nothing is done to address it. The location used to be a retreat from excess noise.

I am dealing with a lot of folks right now who seem to be "full of sha" 

Quiet enjoyment is a term used in our leases and purchase agreements. My threshold is quite high...but I do understand those who hate too much noise.

Hello Laura - for me, there can be many sorts of pollution negatively influencing our environment. For example, the Perseid meteor shower seen in our area this month have been impacted by light pollution.  Countless more interpretations continue to contaminate life around us.

Hey Michael, 

I agree with you. Light pollution, air, sound, its all encroaching on quality of life and that is a fact.
