- If These Walls Could Talk: Why the
History of Your Home is Important
- By:
Carole Provenzale, CFSP
How often have you wished you
could be a fly on the wall? Wanting to hear others conversations,
decisions and possibly, arguments? One consistent question Feng
Shui Practitioners will always ask is if you know the history
of your home. Why, you wonder?

It gives us insights to what
went on before you moved in and what may still be affecting you
without you even realizing it. Imagine these two different scenarios:
One couple did quite well in
their home and were looking to "move up in the world."
They were looking for a larger space with more room, maybe something
they had been wanting for a long time. They obviously were prospering,
happy and looking forward to their new home.
Couple B has been fighting for
years. They have finally come to a divorce and both must sell
the home, disrupting both their lives (and possibly their children's
lives as well) and are more then likely to have left behind great
grief, unhappiness, arguments and quite often, money issues.
Which house would you rather
buy? You don't need to ask a Feng Shui Consultant, although we
do work with something still unknown to many, what we call "Predecessor"
energy. |

The energy left behind by former
occupants on the home, sort of like an "imprint" can
be left behind. The occupants of the second house had been troubled
in a number of different areas and the new owners, probably knowing
nothing about it, are moving in. People have sometimes reported
they feel they have a "bad luck" house. This is just
likely to be past negative energy that was left behind by a previous
owner and can be remedied by blessings and Space Clearings.
It is important to find out,
if possible, what has gone on in your home prior to your arrival
or purchase. Feng Shui consultants, priests, rabbis or ministers
are often called to homes before the new occupants move in to
bless them. Black Sect blessings have been handed down for many
years and I have seen them work so often that I am firmly convinced
of their power. They are called Transcendental Blessings and
they seek to rid the home (and land) of any lingering predecessor
energy so you know from the day you move it that this new home
is truly and intentionally now your own.
They are not only being used
for homes, either. More and more often, corporations and businesses
will inquire about consultations. Perhaps they are well aware
the previous owners filed bankruptcy or the partnership dissolved.
Again, through these wonderful and powerful blessings, the business
can begin a new start with new energy, new intent and a harmonious
atmosphere. |
