A young working couple with one child bys a small house, conveniently located within easy reach of both the husband's and wife's places of work. On the ground floor is a large sitting room that opens on to a back garden. It can also be used as a dining area. There are two bedrooms, one for the parents and a smaller one for the child. To the right of the front door is a bathroom. At the rear, near the glass doors opening on to the garden, is a small kitchen, Stairs to the upper floor are on the left of the front door as you enter.
Soon after the couple moves in, the wife receives an important promotion at workk that she has been seeking for some time. A year later she is delighted when her doctor tells her she is pregnant with her second child. It has been a good year for the family's finances as well. But the family is about to grow and they decide that they need a larger home and put the property up for sale.
the house is attractive and id bought by a second couple, also with a young child. They have very different ideas about the way they want their home to look. They redecorate the interior, taking the opportunity to buy themselves new furniture. Unfortunately, within a year and a half of moving in, the husband injures himself at work and is laid off. Money becomes a constant source of argument at home. To make matters worse things start to go and later the plumbing. All these mishaps come along one after the other; there does not appear to be any connection between them.
If the second couple were to call in a Feng Shui expert, he would be very interested in the story of the differing fortunes of the two families. He might conclude that the energy originally concentrated in the area of the house had been positive, but that over time the energetic configuration had changed. Or the might conclude that the energy had remained constant but that the second couple was not living in harmony with it. If the were to examine the home, he would be very interested in the way in which the second couple redecorated it and arranged their new furniture.
FIRST COUPLE
How the couples used the space
The two drawings show the ways in which both families used the space in the same house. Each of the changes introduced by the second family, seen through the eyes of the Feng Shui expert, caused a problem. The first couple had a large floor-to-ceiling bookcase creating a decorative partition to separate off the sitting area from the entrance, and placed their sofa against the wall, opposite the television. The second couple liked looking straight out to the garden and put their new sofa and chairs in the middle of the open space with the back toward the front door. This meant that their major sitting area was exposed to a direct current from the front door through to the garden and that they positioned themselves in the middle of this, with no support at their backs.
The second couple liked the open-pain layout they had created. They kept the door of the kitchen permanently open and, except when in use, left the door of the small bathroom ajar, This meant that the central area of the home was constantly exposed to odors and energies from which it had previously been protected, since the first couple kept these doors closed.
There are two other differences. The second couple put the beds in both bedrooms opposite the doors so that they and their child could easily see out into the main area. This also exposed both beds to the direct currents of energy entering the rooms through the doorways, and particularly in the case of the child, to the current passing straight through to the window over the head of the bed. In the bedrooms arranged by the second couple, the mirror on the dressing table and the wall mirror in the child's room face the beds; the mirrors did not face the beds when the first family lived there.
All these differences could affect the harmomy of the home, the lives of the people in it, and the energetic forces around the home. If the Feng Shui expert had met the second couple at the house he would have immediately noticed that their new furniture was metallic and that they had painted the interior light grey. It was a very cold internal environment. The fortunate first couple had deep red coverings on the furniture in the sitting area and a soft rose tint on the walls.
