Update And Renovate

It’s time to update and renovate- the bathroom attached to the master bedroom in my mother’s house has not been touched in over 30 years.  I would say it has bad Feng Shui.

Feng Shui literally means wind and water and these are not static concepts.  Wind and water must move to stay energized, without this movement water becomes stagnant and the air feels musty and dead.  Houses need to be energized; this act can be as simple as opening a window or more complicated as in a renovation project.  When the house is energized the occupants become energized.  And this is good Feng Shui.

This brings me to the issue of – does it change the house energy or the house potential which is a huge fundamental of Feng Shui. The answer is, no it doesn’t.   Renovating on this level does not change the natal chart of the house nor the sitting and facing direction so the energy blueprint that was established is the same as when the house was constructed.

It may sound as if I am jumping around a bit and I guess that is how my Feng Shui mind works – and that is how Feng Shui works. It is quite multi-level.  So, renovating the bathroom:

• Will add positive movement and energy to the house.  It already has – the bath is so drab and, well, just kind of nothing- that the thought of entering the space does not inspire positive feelings.  However, even though construction has yet to begin my mom is fairly singing with possibilities over the change
• Unless you spend lots of time in a bathroom, the natal energy pattern in this sector is not going to have much of an effect on you as does the chi of your bedroom, home office, family room and front entrance (or whatever room you tend to hang out in). Do not mistake this level of Feng Shui for the feeling you get when you look at a room visually.  Because remember, this energy pattern is not visible; it must be mapped out by the flying stars of the house.

So how do you know if you need to remedy these rooms (and how can you be sure what a remedy really is) – we will find out in the next installment!

Updating and renovating is wonderful – it keeps you, the house, the chi movement fresh and it may make a difference in resale value so if you have a bathroom like mom’s and the opportunity to get some work done – you and your house will thank you.
