(The client's real name is not used for confidentiality) Nancy called me in April. The major concern that she wanted to address with a Feng Shui consultation was her health. She was ill for nine years. “The illness just kept getting worse, i.e., panic attacks, shingles, stomach aches, headaches, my ears were ringing all the time I couldn’t sleep, basically my health was going downhill fast," she told me. A few months before she called me she actually found a wonderful doctor and new treatments that started to work, but, as she stated, “I started to get better, but I feel there is more to be done to help to complete my journey." After I completed my Feng Shui analysis using the Lo Pan Compass I found out that a major remodeling about nine years ago dramatically changed the energy of the house for the worse. This is when Nancy’s illness started and her husband left her soon after that. Truthfully, her case was one of the few that I wasn’t sure I could help without proposing another major remodeling or even moving out of the house, but Nancy was eager to give it a try. She did an amazing amount of work considering her health condition in a short period of time. Just in a few months she painted several rooms, did a lot of landscaping, and added new art and accessories to balance and enhance the energy of the areas that were affected. In the process she felt better and better. She brought me back twice after our initial consultation to work more on the finer details. Her creativity opened up so much that she is now considering starting a new career. She just can’t decide what she enjoys more: interior design or landscaping. Now the whole neighborhood is stopping by to see her beautiful yard with stone walls, water features, lights and garden statues. This is just a short list of the wonderful changes that took place.
The west direction, for example, relates to the mouth, metal element, youngest daughter, joy and fun. In fact, if energy in the west is not balanced, it might affect any of the things in the list above. According to Flying Star, a Classical Feng Shui technique that addresses a change of Chi in the building over time, in this year west is affected by malevolent energies and needs to be balanced with metal. In Nancy’s case, west was one of the directions that was affected the most, especially this year and she forgot to place the metal cure that I suggested there! She did several of the others, but forgot this particular one. Besides placing this cure, I also suggested to have more fun and joy in her life to celebrate the completion of her work since this is the energy of the west and she was working so hard and seriously since the spring. You might ask why I called this “A Fall Feng Shui Story." Interestingly, the season that corresponds to west is fall and its energy is completion! Everything comes to completion in the fall and so is my story now. P.S. While I was writing this story I received an email from Nancy that she placed the metal cure in the west and three days later she got a diagnosis for her health problems and after many years of struggling with it and she now has a treatment plan: “… it brought in the knowledge that I have celiac disease and that is a severe gluten allergy causing the mouth sores and stomach troubles.... I just found out yesterday.... three days after I placed the cure!" Dear Nancy, I wish you a full recovery and total happiness! I will never stop being amazed at the way the universe works!

A few days ago I received an email from Nancy. I was very pleased to
hear from her and happy for all of the dramatic improvements in her life
since we started to work together. However, there was one question that left
me absolutely astonished. Here is what she said: “I can't tell you how
much you have helped me to heal and find my way through all this mess...
I am feeling much more confident about things now and I just think of
you often... I hear your words in my head as I am moving around the
house and yard… I have been getting much better health wise but am still
having trouble clearing up the mouth sores. Could you help me with this,
please?" I know some of you may be thinking “Come on, get real, you
can’t fix everything with Feng Shui. This seems pretty unrelated." But
wait… Not many of us know that Feng Shui is part of traditional Chinese
medicine and Taoist Philosophy and there is a connection between the
eight directions, body parts, five elements, family members, emotions,
colors and much more.
