House Renovation Precautions

I am prompted to write this after recalling an invitation to take a fengshui look at one house which was renovated in 2003.

What happened was that all was fine and it was until after renovations done towards the end of 2003 that the family found that there appears to be something amiss. Quite a fortune must have gone into doing the renovation and refurbishment. After a detailed check, it became clear that what could possibly be done wrong was done wrong.

Although the orientation and layout was left quite untouched the latent energy patterns of the house has been redistributed.

It is difficult to imagine that renovations can have a drastic impact on fengshui, but yes, they do. You see, all things go through cyclic existence starting from bloom, flourish and decay. This is undeniable. Likewise, things move along with the flow of time and this flow by convention shifts over fixed periods of time. What this means is that different energy forces comes into play, like a power shift. We are now into a different energy cycle compared with five years ago and that is why any renovations with respect to changing of doors, hacking out floor tiles, repairing the roofs, knocking down and building new walls all provide openings for the new energy to lock in and take effect.

For the fengshui lover, may I point out that the critical year may be 2004 but from my observations, it need not necessarily be so. Time in its own way is also a fluid and versatile fellow. Its impact on different people and matter varies from case to case. If you are a fengshui lover, do bear this in mind and adjust accordingly and make judgments based on your observations and confirmations.

Good Luck.

Reiki and Self-Healing

Ever so often, we forget that Reiki is also a self-healing therapy. The basic medicine is the perfection of self. To achieve perfection of self is a life time journey and goal in itself. It is true to say that no matter how much we devote to attaining this perfection, it may still remain a distant goal. However, like it is said, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

This healing of self applies to all practitioners, irrespective of whether we are Reiki I, II, III or no Reiki 0. If we care to ask ourself what really ails us, it is not surprising that we single out our work, our lifestyle or our attitude as the main culprits. When we begin to dissect these causes, we find that underlying our problems are many emotional conflicts that we have difficulty resolving.

Looking a little further in, we may just find the reason why we are feeling the way we do. Slowly we can understand why we react the way we do in our interactions in daily life. Maybe then, during moments like these, we can apply the principles and watch our emotions fade.

The theory of wholistic healing says that our physical ailments are manifest from our emotional persona. Given this as correct, then the principles become good medicine.

This basic self healing is not just about the healing of our physical pains but also our emotional and mental ones as well. Ultimately, we evolve into healing ourselves spiritually.

house healing

House Healing

My friend, Frank Regis aka the ghost buster of the philippines gave a talk at our healing center, Tara Touch, last year on “The Unseen Dimension”.

It was a very interesting talk and many were not quite ready to leave even way after the share session was over. What intrigued me was that Frank said that problem houses possess blueprints and such blueprints manifest indisturbances to the people who occupy them. These houses require healing.

It was the use of the word healing that caught my interest. In FengShui, we often refer to solutions or remedies for houses affected by negative fengshui. Is that not healing in a sort of way? Of course, the healing here referred to is quite different from the version of healing Frank was referring to.

There is a shamanic aspect to house healing within the context of house cleansing. As in all metaphysical works, we will have to include the unseen. However, within FengShui, what we try to achieve is to determine the energies that are manifesting within the space we are looking at and once having known that, make the necessary transformation to best fit the situation. Determination is made through a practice of confirming past events and traits corresponding to the reading. Proper judgment is an essential skill apart from understanding of ancient principles.

Anything that is to be done to effect transformation is healing. That became very obvious and I liked the way that Frank puts it. Every space has its subtle energy blueprints. When Frank talked about healing homes, he was referring to properties which had inherited blueprints as a result of past activities that had happened in the home (pardon me, Frank if I had misquoted you). When I look at it from a FengShui perspective, it has another explanation. Every space that becomes an abode, either for the living or the dead, has, from the moment it ‘takes life’, has a latent energy pattern.

It is this energy pattern that is the underlying cause of outcomes that happens to the occupants of that abode. It does sound quite sinister but happily, this energy pattern can be broken or changed. Put another way, it means that the fengshui of the house determines the outcome and as long as that fengshui remains, similar events will unfold as a result of whatever energy is present. Transforming the energy will change the fengshui.
