Hi, everyone!
This is Safrina Kadri from Feng Shui and Prosper.
Hi, Cgram! Thank you so much for joining.
Today I wanted to talk about a little bit about Feng Shui.
So hopefully, you are familiar with the term.
The title today as.. I've titled it for this periscope is "Negative Features at the Front Door".
And I'm talking about negative Feng Shui features.
Now, for you guys who are not familiar with Feng Shui - just in case, it is an ancient Chinese metaphysical study
of space and time, as well as the energy.
And there are certain spaces that are considered more lucky and other spaces that are considered blocked
in terms of more prosperity.
And when we talk about prosperity, we're talking about not just money but also in health and relationships.
Hi, Ghetto, TheChowpa and everyone else who has joined. Thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you for coming. Let me know where you're watching me from.
This is only my second real attempt at a Periscope, so be gentle with me. Okay?
So, as I mentioned before, this scope is gonna be talking about Feng Shui - specifically for Feng Shui at your Front Door.
So, I have a short list here..
about features that you want to avoid.
Oh! Kawaii Dovent? BC as in British Columbia?
So.. Canada, eh? That's cool.
That's awesome.
Awesome, awesome.
Hi, Shorty0212! Thank you for joining me. And if I'm missing some other..
There's a few other people that joined, but I think I missed your handle there.
So, sorry if I didn't mention you.
Nihapostanchi? Very interesting names coming up! Thank you for joining me.
Okay! So, first thing.. and you might wanna think about - especially for a house - you wanna think about
how these negative features are affecting the Feng Shui for the space that you're living in.
So, the first one is, the front door and the back door is aligned with each other.
So if you're coming in from your front door, and you immediately see the back door,
that is a negative front door feature. But, it's not the "endo" and "beyo" if that is the case for your home.
Especially if the front door and back door is far apart, like if it's a fairly long unit.
You definitely will have furniture or plants or anything in between that space.
So, as long as you have something or even a chandelier, if you have light fixtures that kind of break the energy,
that's really all you need between the front door and the back door.
So, let's say, if you're buying a house or if you're looking for a place to rent
and the moment you see the front door aligned with the back door, really, don't sweat it
as long as you have something in between, then you're good. Okay?
Thank you for the hearts!
Oh, this is only my second scope. So if you guys see any value with what I am sharing with you today,
I would love to get some hearts! I am very, very excited with hearts!
Okay! So, that's the first feature that I wanted to talk about.
But really, it's not a big, big deal if that's your case.
Okay. The next one is having a tree or a pole right in front of your door.
So what I mean is, let's say, you take your smart phone or whatever
and you're taking a picture of your front door, and you're looking out the front door.. Okay?
So, if the frame of the photo - have it fitting right to the frame of your front door.
If you see a hydro pole, an electric pole or a tree - specifically bigger tree - it's like, the smaller trees...
It's considered "Piercing Sha" as well; it's what we call it.
But the bigger the tree, the bigger the issue.
So, if you have a pole or a tree right in front of that door and the closer it is, the stronger the effect as well.
That, in Feng Shui, is what we call "Piercing Heart Sha".
And usually when we see this kind of structure outside the front door,
there's a lot of disharmony in that house and there's losses as well.
It can be losing someone, losing wealth, and can even be losing health.
So, really, if the tree is in your property and you're actually able to cut it down,
that would be something that would be recommended.
The problem with Canada - where I'm at right now, is a lot of the trees are actually municipal trees.
So, there's nothing that can be done to remedy that. Unfortunately, you can't cut it down
'coz it's not your property. So... especially if you're buying a house, do not get a house
that has a big tree or a pole right in front of the front door. Okay?
Actually a really, really important Feng Shui structure to look at.
And the Y junction or the T junction at the front door.
Now, a lot of Feng Shui enthusiasts.. you've probably heard that T junction at the front door is bad.
I would say 70% of the time it is bad.
Because that makes the energy almost like it's crushing into the front door. Right?
So if you think about a car that's going down that T junction... So you have your house here..
especially the front door is right where the T kind of comes together..
So, imagine the car coming down this road...
Yay, hearts! More hearts!
Uhh.. coming down this road.. and if it loses it's break or whatever, the car will crash into the front door. Right?
So... that can happen.
But chi-wise or energy-wise, that is just how strong or how aggressive that energy is also
crashing into the house as well.
Oh, thank you, Yolayhap! Thank you so much! Are those your hearts? Thank you, thank you!
So... there are certain situations where the T junction is actually good
and this really depends - there's no general one bit of advice that I can tell you right now
because Feng Shui in its classical form actually is very detail-oriented.
Hi, Manosh! Thank you so much for joining us! We're talking about Feng Shui at the front door.
And actually, if you are not following me yet on Periscope or Twitter,
feel free to follow me. And if you know other friends and family who are interested about Feng Shui,
I'm not sure how you do it on an Android phone,
but on the iPhone, I know you can swipe to the right - I think, and invite your friends
and family to watch this scope as well. I have a few other tips coming up.
So, we were talking about the T junction.
So, there are actually situations where T junctions are actually good
especially if - energetically, where the energy that it's "crashing in" from is actually prosperous.
So, that actually brings up more prosperous energy.
Hi, Manosh! Thank you for joining!
But if it is in a negative spot and it's hard for me to tell until we actually have a compass-reading,
and if any of you guys have tried a Feng Shui consultant before, if they come to you without using a compass,
they're not classically trained.
There's a lot of really bad information about Feng Shui out there - things that you need to worry about
or things that they tell you are make or break. But, really, there's a lot of work around it.
The T junction is one of it 'coz I get a lot of real estate agents and they can't sell some of the houses
because they're right in front of the T junction.
And depending on the house - well, most times it's bad,
but sometimes, it's actually something that you want to leave as is.
Oh! Thank you, Manosh! Thank you for inviting your followers to jump on on this scope with us!
And oh, Kawaii, well, sorry to see you leave but follow me on Periscope.
I'm gonna be doing a few more scopes after this. Thank you for joining anyway.
So, the real estate agents and, of course, the sellers - they're really concerned because nowadays,
it's not just - especially here in Canada - Asian buyers who believe in Feng Shui.
I'm a Feng Shui consultant and I've been doing it for 7 years now.
Most of my clients tell actually they don't have any Asian background.
So, they can be Spanish, Italian, Russian, whatever - if they look at a house and they see a T junction,
they naturally - well, the ones who have been following Feng Shui - know that
it's very likely a bad structure for the house. Right?
I wouldn't say 60-40, (but) actually maybe 80-20.
80% of the time it is negative for the house.
But if they like everything else about the house, but the T junction is bothering them,
then they don't make an offer.
And that's why a lot of real estate agents come to because they're like, "Safrina, this house has been
on the market for months and months and everyone's talking about the T junction
being the deal breaker for the house.
The way to deal with a T junction - especially if it's at the front door - is really to build
something that can "stop" the energy.
So, imagine if there is a car that's crashing into the front door...
Hi, Yangdizzles! Thanks for joining!
If a car is on its way to crash into the door, if you have something in between the door and the street
to stop that car, then that's all you need.
It can be a wall. It can be a hedge. Right? Or some bushes.
Or if you want, just move the front door. Right?
Do a little bit of renovating - that's actually what, I think, Donald Trump did with one of his towers.
He actually moved the main entrance of, I think, the Trump Towers because it had better energy.
I'm not sure if it's specifically because of a T junction, but I know he was advised to move that.
Yangdizzles, I am coming from Toronto, Canada. And feel free to let me know
where you're watching this scope from as well.
I would definitely love to know where you guys are coming from. Mmkay?
So, and the same thing for the Y junction as well. Right?
So the Y junction goes like that.
It's the same principle.
Morgantown - is that in the States? Sorry, my geography is a little bit bad.
Okay. And then the next step in terms of negative features for front door is..
I have a little bit of an accent? Well, I'm born and raised in Malaysia.
And I came to Canada about 14 years ago.
So I guess I still have a Malaysian accent? I'm not sure.
Try not to have a house at the end of a "cul-de-sac".
There is actually not a Feng Shui remedy for this.
So, as best as you can, not be in a cul-de-sac because the energy just doesn't stay.
And therefore, whatever energy that the house ends up getting, will be very week. Right?
So, you definitely don't want that.
Some of my clients are lucky enough to kind of not be affected by this.
It's a street, and then leading to a cul-de-sac. But if your houses are more on the street side of things,
then that's still okay.
It's the one that's around the cul-de-sac that need to worry.
Yangdizzles, am I a real estate agent? I am not.
I am a clasically trained Feng Shui consultant. I do work with real estate agents.
And I am working with a builder right now where clients actually are looking at
building their homes from scratch - making sure that it's got solid Feng Shui foundation.
And that's where I come in. I look at the blueprints. I work with the architects and the engineers to make sure
that it's a strong Feng Shui-wise as possible.
I was thinking about being a real estate agent, but I think that's just putting too much on my plate
Another structural issue is not being able to see the front door.
Especially, some doors are off the side.
So if you're standing in front of the house, you see maybe like a two-car, or maybe even a three-car garage,
and then the engines is kinda like, hidden up off at the side. Right?
So, just imagine, if let's say a postman...
Hi, Takaki Palo! Thanks for joining us!
If let's say you have guests coming or the postman coming, and they're like,
"Where is the front door?", right?
That's what happens in real life, but the chi will also get confused.
The energy will get confused in terms of, "Wait a minute, where's the front door?".
And why is the front door so important in Feng Shui? It's because that's where
we call it the "mouth of chi". That's where the chi comes in.
So, just imagine, just like a body. Right? The analogy of a body - the energy comes into our body
in the form of food. That's how it gives energy, gives us sustenance.
So, if the food can't find our mouth, then the body's gonna be weak.
The same thing applies if the energy is confused as to where the front door is.
So, usually, a good way to kind of make the front door more pronounced is either
keeping it a little bit brighter or maybe putting some flowers or whatever
to make the front door more obvious. That would be one way to do it.
And sometimes, I also see houses where there's like a fruit tree that's really abundant with leaves
and plants and all that. And it totally covers the front door. That could be another issue as well.
Mmkay? And then the last one that I have here is... this is an issue at your front door
if you can see a tower or a pitch rooftop or even a sharp shirt steeple.. and especially pylons
because these are huge structures right outside your front door that is
not just giving you a negative energy... You know, weakening the energy
that ultimately comes through the door. Pylon - specifically, we have to worry about EMF as well.
And Feng Shui is all about energy, even if it's electromagnetic frequency.
So, if you're in the market to look for a new place to live in, do not have these huge external
negative structures right outside the front door
because, obviously, you can't remedy that. Right?
I have a client wanting to buy a place where there's a huge electric or hydro tower - we call it here - right
outside the front door. And he asked me, "Can crystals help this?"
Well, realistically, can a little crystal ball deal with a huge external structure like that?
It doesn't make sense.
Some Feng Shui practitioners out there have a solution for everything.
And I have an issue with that because that puts clients or Feng Shui enthusiasts in a false sense
of security. You can't put a little crystal ball or whatever to deal with such a big thing like that.
A tree, a lamp post - maybe. Right? But the bigger the external aggressor is,
the better the reason for you to actually not choose that place. Right?
Prevention is definitely better than cure.
So, that's all the noted that I have in terms of Front Door Feng Shui, in terms of negative structures.
