So how can you influence the exterior of your home or office? How can you positively affect your surroundings?
The first thing is always to use your compass to find out the direction your home faces.
Once you know that, the next step is to look at your immediate environment.
City or Town Houses
How much space do you have outside? Are there any poison arrows* pointing directly at your front door?
Anything that appears threatening will be sending negative Energy towards your front door
Do you have a busy road outside your home? How fast does the traffic move? Are you at the end of a cul-de-sac? Do you have a busy road behind your home? Is the house on your left lower than the house on your right?
Rural or Country Houses
Are there houses around you? Is the land flat or undulating? Is the back of your property higher than the front? What is directly opposite your front door? Is the land to the left of your home lower than the land on the right? Do you have a river running in front of you or behind you?
These are some of the things to look for before beginning to work with what you have.
Ideal Configuration
Having given some idea of what to look for, here is the ideal configuration for a home, so you can look for positives as well as negatives.
In Landscape Feng Shui, which focuses on the exterior of a property, the ideal layout is what is known as the ‘armchair effect.’
This has the left side of your home (standing at the front door looking out) higher than the right.
The land behind your home will be higher than the land at the front.
There is an open space in front to allow positive Energy to accumulate before entering your home.
There will also be a winding river meandering in front, allowing positive Chi Energy to enter your home as it passes and high ground behind creating support.
In traditional Feng Shui this signifies, the Green Dragon on the left (East), the White Tiger on the right (West), the Black Turtle behind (North) and the Red Phoenix in front (South.)
The environment is much different now than it was when Feng Shui first evolved.
Fortunately, in harmony with the living skill it is, it now incorporates the elements in our modern world positively and effectively.
Have a look around and next time we will look at positive steps to take if the exterior of your home is less than ideal.

City or Town Houses
How much space do you have outside? Are there any poison arrows* pointing directly at your front door?
Poison arrows are:
The edge of a neighbour’s roof line
A lamp post
A single upright tree
A straight road coming directly towards your front door
A narrow gap between houses opposite that is sending negative Energy towards you
Anything that appears threatening will be sending negative Energy towards your front door
