#1 I have to tell you a happy story that involves feng shui. My brother has been laid off for just a few weeks shy of 2 years and had only 3 more checks coming from unemployment. He told me about an interview he had with Antonelli College in downtown Cincy for an IT administrator job. They interviewed him 3 times and said they wanted to hire him as long as he passed a background check. However, about 20 years ago he had legal problems in Texas that has been keeping him from being hired at other companies, so he was really sweating it. I told my sister-in-law we needed to feng shui the wealth/prosperity section of their house just for good measure. Long story short, he got a phone call about an hour ago and HE GOT THE JOB! I get teased all the time from people when I tell them about feng shui, so this time the joke’s on them IT WORKS! Thank you for Move Your Stuff Change Your Life, you have helped our family beyond measure! Diane H. #2 My friend had a brain aneurysm and was willing to try anything. She feng shuied and did nothing else – and it honest-to-gosh shrank — no medical intervention necessary. With this worry out of the way, she climbed up the ladder professionally and she’s really healthy now. So then, she shared feng shui with my cousin who had a brain tumor and was constantly falling down due to balance issues. My friend and I went to her house and guess what we found — – the foot of her bed was lined up with the bedroom door (death position – yikes!) and she had a reading light clipped onto her headboard to read – right above her head! She’s been in the house for a couple of years and that’s where the tumor was diagnosed. Her cat kept smacking the light as if trying to get rid of it (even slept on it sometimes,) but the clamp was holding good so he couldn’t use his cat feng shui gift. 
We used the helpful people box and energized the health guas AND the helpful people gua that is supposed to be in charge of the head. From the very first night after moving her bed, she reported sleeping all night – which was a first! Anyway, she had surgery to remove the tumor, but when the doctors went in her head to remove it, they couldn’t take anything out because they couldn’t find it. They decided that they mis-read her scans and wanted to do another surgery to look for and get it. By the third follow up visit with the doc post useless surgery, the doctors concluded that the tumor was gone. Now she’s going to g back to work! Was it there! Was it not? The docs say it was. Who knows – but we think it is better to NOT have it and we think feng shui helped that! Now we have to get that helpful people box going again because since there was no tumor, she’s having trouble getting her insurance to pay for it! Alice K
Are you Bugged by Feng Shui? Q and A
Question:
I started applying feng shui to my 2 bed flat on Sunday. On Monday afternoon my lounge and kitchen was covered in over 4 dozen large, black, blue bottomed flies – freshly hatched. I cleaned up in disgust. On Tuesday my flat was again covered in over 5 dozen more flies. I sprayed and cleaned up. ON Wednesday the same. I had searched and looked everywhere and suddenly found a large breeding area under my new washing machine. Cleaned up the whole area, sprayed again. More flies. My hubby found another lair inside the under sink cupboard area – sprayed them. By the evening it was covered in flies again. In desperation I have filled every crevice and opening with towels. By lunchtime today there were again almost 2 dozen flies. I have continued feverishly implementing feng shui but has this unleashed some horrid incident????? HELP. Wendy C
Answer:
Of course, my first response whenever I get questions like this where I have not seen the place is, “It depends.” You write that you were FEVERISHLY implementing feng shui…how clear were your intentions as you were implementing? Did you envision the outcome that you desired when making the changes, or were you perhaps in a panicked state that created an energy pattern that resulted in more flies to keep the panic vibe going? Also, I have seen people feng shui with thoughts like “Nothing ever works for me so my guess is this won’t work for me either” and everything totally works out for them the way they THOUGHT, as opposed to the way they DESIRED and ENVISIONED or INTENDED.
Going past the intentions,here’s how I might proceed. First, I’d think through the logical, “mundane” things like, “Could the flies have been incubating under the new washing machine since it has arrived and just so happened to have hatched just after the feng shui was put in place?” Seems logical. You did mentioned that the machine was new, right? Maybe the warehouse that it came from was a cesspool for flies. I also don’t know about incubation periods or fly breeding grounds spreading in a house, so perhaps a bit of research is in order. You might see that the whole timeline thing makes sense once you do the research or call the warehouse.
If you pass the logic test, I might go into language and symbolism and try to find commonalities. “Has something been BUGGING you lately?” I might get more specific and ask if you are bugged in the area of life that these bugs seem to be coming from. Perhaps that will give me more clues to follow.
After that, I might ask for the list of every feng shui change you implemented, how long it has been there, how fast you were intending the change to happen, how fast things in your life are actually changing besides this event, and see if there’s something amiss or off balance with your work. If everything looks good and you say that you are indeed getting fast results from your changes, then I might conclude that this is merely the “end of a cycle,” and that sometimes reactions that were already in motion play out faster than normal, creating a brief time of chaos. The “feverishly” word does make perfect sense for this to be happening. Sometimes, when people make many fast changes to their space, it triggers a type of quick “crumbling” effect. In other words, it speeds up all the things that were going to break down over the next year and smashes the timeline into, like one week — which looks like feng shui is working against you. But it is merely all the weak links in your chain breaking, so you can strengthen them with your repairs – which now makes the space strong enough to manifest the new life change that you intended. Plumbing and electronic devices are the classics for this, but I wouldn’t rule out infestations showing up at all.
So, bottom line, it could be a mundane thing that you just need some extermination help, or it could have something o do with your feng shui – but I’d need way more info to be sure.
