11: Take a look
at the ground around the property, a good house with good energy will have
healthy trees and plants around and plenty of wildlife, even if it is in
the City you will still see some birds in the garden. Obviously I am
talking in general as I am sure you will not see much wildlife in the
middle of Bombay or New York, or maybe you do I don’t really know. Don’t
be put off though if you see one or two dead trees or a couple of dead
rose bushes, there could be any other reasons just look overall.
12: If you have trees at the front of the house or office make sure they
do not grow too high, a good height is about six foot, less than this is
better although I am aware some people would prefer higher as it offers
seclusion to the house. The reason it should be no higher than six foot is
because not only will it cut out valuable light it will also block Chi
entering the house. The rule is the further the tree from the house the
higher the tree can be, the example above is for trees that are
approximately 15 – 20 ft from the front of the house. Trees at the front
should never be higher than the house though.
13: Avoid a house with a straight road running towards the front of your
house or the end of a T-junction, if you have one already you should hang
a Ba Gua mirror outside the front.
14: Another mistake many people make is to calculate their facing
directions using the front door. Because your front door faces east this
does not mean you have an east facing Tui Trigram house. As an example our
front door faces east, on this side of the house we have our main door and
a small window, this is not the facing direction, our facing direction is
north Li Trigram because on the north side we have the most windows, it
faces the road, the street sign etc. If you follow this link you will find
more details on Sitting and Facing directions, this is so important if you
want to use Feng Shui and get results.
15: If you can see the back door from the front door (in a straight line),
ideally you should place something in between or if there is a door close
it. This point causes much confusion, it is only considered bad if the
front door is in a straight line with the rear door, if you can see your
rear door from the front and it does not run in a straight line that is
OK. Windows or doors should not be too big or small, look for a balance.
Avoid ceilings that are too high or irregular shaped; flat or domed
ceilings are best.

The best example I can give is try and imagine you are Ch’i and you need
to walk about your house/Office and also round the garden. Can you walk
freely without obstruction? Do this little exercise inside and outside
your house. Is the large storage chest in the hallway slowing you down? Is
the clutter in the office making you do a detour around it? Oops did you
trip over the books in the study? Remember Ch’i is like air it needs to
flow freely around a property inside and out.
There are literally hundreds of things to look for when buying a house or
taking a new office, the few I mentioned above are the obvious things you
should look for and believe me the perfect house does not exist (not
unless you have a few million pounds to spend and build from the dirt),
and you will always find something that is not right. Our house is
L-shaped and it has a triangular shape rear garden, theses are not
considered good Feng Shui but by adding a few simple cures they can be
easily overcome.
** TIP ** If you own a shop try and place the till in your wealth corner,
even your petty cash tin. Order books can also be placed here with 3
Chinese coins tied together with red ribbon (a very powerful cure we
always use in our business). Your till should have a solid wall behind it
for protection and support and it is said that if you place a mirror
beside it, this represents a doubling of turnover, also hang a crystal
faceted sphere over your till. I was not so sure about the last two until
I spoke to a good friend of ours who tried it out in their jewellery shops
and it worked as far as they were concerned.
