What Houses Want to Say

An interesting thing about Feng Shui is that no matter what school you use (Compass, Black Hat, etc), it works. Why is that?

My intuitive work with houses has led me to believe that the house itself (and the land as well) isn't so much concerned with the 'how' of our practice of placement and interaction at home. Houses seem to care that they are able to do the work, provide the service, and collaborate with us on our journey through life. They want to be a refuge or safe harbor, encourage creativity, or simply help us to reduce the outside stress in our lives.

I've spoken to many houses, for various reasons, and found that when they are ignored, in disrepair, or not consulted, they rebel. That rebellion can look like broken appliances, strange mishaps (break-ins, etc.)and other events that seem out-of-the-ordinary.

When we figure out what WE want, then enlist our house to help, I find that changes are easier, more affordable, and more creative. Try it!
