Feng Shui tips to keep in mind before buying a new house

Buying a new house can be quite a tedious task, keeping in mind the number of considerations, like location, size and cost, which go into finding that perfect abode. But, have we ever thought how bad location, in terms of energy, can affect the house/property? This is where applying Feng Shui seeps in, which will ensure that good energy, health, prosperity and happiness get attracted to the space. Using a few principles of Feng Shui, one can ensure that the house is nothing but perfect for them as well as their family.

History of the house

Try and grab as much information as possible about people who previously resided in the house you want to buy. This may include many things, like if the previous owners were successful or unsuccessful while staying in the house. Not getting success may be a clear indication of poor energy flow, which is definitely a bad sign. Lack of positive energy will also be significant the other houses in the neighborhood are in a bad shape and even the neighbors are unsuccessful.

Location of the house

The most important thing is of course the location, which just cannot be ignored. If the house faces south, then don’t think twice as this is considered to be the most auspicious in Feng Shui as this side receives the most sunlight and further aids in growth as well as vitality. Make sure that the entrance of the house if not below the street level, as beneficial Chi will face a lot of difficulty to enter the house. Buying property that is located near a T junction or dead end can prove to be a major disaster. The house will receive the weakest energy, which will drag luck and make it very slow. It will also increase the chance of injuries and even accidents as these will account for a stagnant pool of energy.

Shape of the property

A property should compose of eight external houses and one central that is known as the Tai Ji, according to the Feng Shui Bangua. This has been calculated according to the square and rectangular shaped homes. But, in case the property has some third shape then it is quite possible that it will miss on one of these, which may create troubles when you reside there. The center of the home is symbolizes health, while other eight signify knowledge, career, power or wealth, relationships or romance, family, helpful people, creativity or children and reputation.

Front door

Having a strong front door is of utmost importance as this is one of the main spots from where the house receives its energy nourishment or Chi in other words. The size of the door should be in accordance with the rest of the house. The house should have a clear as well as good view from the door at the front as well as having a neat path up to the door should not be ignored. Do keep in mind that any kind of trees or pillars should not be placed in line with the entrance.

Front door and back door placement

Direct alignment of the back and front door is never advisable in Feng Shui. All the good energy will be lost as it will rush through one door and escape from the other. A great solution to avoid this is by simply placing something in between, which will act as a barrier. But, if you see the back door from the front one and they are mot in line, then this is not considered harmful at all.

Uneven or slanted landscape

The landscape, without a second thought, decides the energy flow in the house as well. Don’t ignore if the house is erected on a slope or any kind of uneven surface. Just like the uneven ground, the energy flow will also be uneven that will cause a rough luck, money drainage as well as heath issues. Your personal relationships can suffer equally and chances of arguments, fights and even a divorce will scale up the graph.

Floor plan

For a positive flow of energy, the kitchen as well as the master bedroom should be placed toward the back half of the home. Be sure that the staircase doesn’t spring up right away near the front door as it will let energy rush out of the house. This will in turn have an impact on health, wealth and fresh opportunities. Bedrooms should never be situated over any kind of an open area and also there should be no bathroom over dining or kitchen areas. It is also believed that bathrooms should not be located in the center of the house but towards the outer areas. If these things are not taken care of, then illness may be a common affair.

Trees in front of the house

Big trees facing the door or windows can pose a lot of problems. Even if you want a tree in front of the house, do make sure that it does not grow more than six inches in height. Tall trees won’t only block Chi, but will also hold back natural light which is very positive for any house. But, always avoid having a tree that is taller than the house. Any kind of a dead tree is a big no! A dead tree is a source of negative energy flow that will pull just everything down from health to wealth.

State of the greenery and animal life in the area

The plant and animal life around the house say a lot about the energy flow of the house and its surroundings. Have a closer look at the ground as well as any kind of geopathic stress to come to a conclusion. Lush green outer spaces are a positive indication, but don’t get disappointed if you see a few dead bushes. Apart from this, do make note if both pet as well as wild animals in the area are in a good or a bad shape. Unhealthy animals are another reason that point directly toward the poor energy flow in the area.

House besides cemetery/church

The house will suffer a bad energy if it is positioned besides a cemetery. The negative or Yin energy form burial ground account for bad Feng Shui as well as negative energy, which can cause mental problems, bad luck as well as sickness. On the other hand, if a house is situated near a church or for that matter of fact any religious place, don’t expect these positive places to bring in any good. These religious places will draw out or suck all the positive energy from your house, making the owner suffer both on health and financial grounds.
