Up, down, infront, and behind

In one sense your home has clearly defined boundaries. You rent or own a property that is legally determined and usually marked out by walls between dwellings, or fences between plots of land. Much of the art of Feng Shui is concerned with harmonious arrangements within those boundaries. But the art also goes beyond those limits because, your home is part of many, far larger, configurations of energy. So you would be well advised to pay careful attention to the energetic influences that surround your home in all directions.
If you are looking at properties, find out what's underneath, above, in front, and behind them. Property deeds or local authority records will indicate the previous use of the land before the present building was built. Try to find somewhere that has had a history of good land use. Then look skyward. Living under the flight path of airplanes is definitely not recommended - as anyone who lives under one knows (even though the conscious mind has a way of blocking out that awareness over time). See if you are in the pathway or shadow of tall buildings in front or to the sides or under electricity supply lines: avoid such locations. Is there any space in front of you or are you jammed into a narrow street? And out the back - are there commuter rail lines. city train lines, canals, or highway fly-overs? All these create perpetual disturbance, not only to the physical fabric of homes, but to the health and wellbeing of all who live close to them.
