It seems everyone knows of a "ghost" story they have heard. While some are ardent disbelievers the ones who have experienced some very unusual and very disturbing things in their homes are no longer disbelievers. Increasingly my calls for Feng Shui include more then just changing the Energy to increase wealth or find a partner or career. About one in ten of them these days are for the Blessings, to help rid the home of what some of the occupants are experiencing.

Still others are reluctant to discuss it; however, when the question comes up of "Do you see, hear or feel anything unusual in the home?" there is often dead silence. They are reluctant to discuss things that they are uncomfortable with for fear they won't be believed or I may think them foolish or "crazy."

Having now seen so much of this phenomena and seeing that my clients are mindful, caring people I know they are experiencing what Feng Shui calls "Predecessor Energy," the stuck or negative Energy left behind by former occupants of the home or even the land. We were equipped in Feng Shui with wonderful and powerful Transcendental Blessings and Cures but sometimes these are just not enough; more knowledge is needed and different methods as well as the Blessings are employed.

Energies can come through in a variety of forms: there can be unusual smells that appear from no where, electrical energy is often experienced with lights flickering, doorbells ringing and no one being there and TV's turning themselves on and off. Noises are often present as well, interrupting much needed sleep and sometimes scaring clients. Of course, many times there are visions as well.

After a decade of hearing these stories, I am convinced there are "hauntings" that result in these incidents occurring in people's homes. I am careful to devote extra time to see if I can determine exactly how the Energy is coming though, the times they find it is most likely to happen and what particular family members are experiencing it; these are crucial elements to finally ridding the home of this unwelcome energy.

I am thankful during these calls for my prior experience in parapsychology and am happy to say that in most cases, my clients are no longer experiencing the sights, sounds, feelings or sightings they have previously had. I am careful to keep up with each client and on more then one occasion we have had to use an additional method(s) or advanced blessings but they have been reporting amazing reports.

While no one can promise you that these energies will stop completely for you, please do know you do not have to live with this. Experienced consultants can employ a number of methods to make your house truly your own home.

Please note that statistics show that most people who will call on a Feng Shui Consultant are of "average" income and college educated. They are also likely to be mindful and spiritual as well so I am not talking to clients who are imagining things by any means. Since I am particularly sensitive to Energy in an environment anyway, I am likely to feel it myself upon entering a home or just a room. Energy is like an imprint left behind, it is what we, the world and the Universe run on.

While we believe it is always wise, if possible, to call a Certified Feng Shui Practitioner to your home when you are moving into a new space to Bless you and your family in it right from the start. New beginnings should always be blessed to make sure you are off to the best possible start. Calling a consultant can also take some of the stress from moving as you will be advised on colors, furniture placement and many other things to set up your new home and feel truly welcomed every time you get "home."

If you have been experiencing unpleasant occurrences in your home, please do feel free to discuss them openly with your consultant. We are equipped to help you in many different ways and anyone practicing for a long time will have heard similar stories so many times they will not think you are imaging things. Always remember, unpleasant feelings or energies in your home are NOT something you have to live with!
