Feng Shui Perspective: External Environment Analysis

An analysis of the surroundings often leads to a discussion of the underlying factors causing this law of attraction. Did the quality of land attract the people, or did the people affect the quality of the property?

A Feng Shui perspective of a person’s home and office environment often reveals the source of those blockages and leads to the critical psychological element that is the source of the problem. We are most affected by what is closest to us. At the same time, the environment pulls us more than pushes us. It reinforces our blocks and continues us along the destined path.

When we acknowledge our current situation and understand the connection between space and us, it is then possible for us to alter the environment consciously and move in a new direction.

When analyzing a property, building, or space, the Feng Shui consultant will consider the macroenvironment before the microenvironment. The macroenvironment includes our neighbourhood.

• Bodies of Water

A body of water does not have to be still or contained; rivers, streams, canals, and other geographical features where water moves from one place to another are also considered bodies of water. Most are naturally occurring geographic features, but some are artificial. Some types can be engineering dams, natural lakes, or harbours. Bodies of water are affected by gravity,, which creates tidal effects on Earth.

• Constructions

Construction projects have a significant impact on the world’s environment. Every aspect of construction has some measurable effect–from mining processes used for materials, to the waste produced by the project and how it disposed of waste.

• Vegetation

The changing environmental conditions and human activities influenced Vegetation patterns and spatial organization. The future consequences of climate change on ecosystems, biodiversity, and food security and welfare.

• Cemeteries

Countries with space limitations for existing cemeteries or difficulty finding new suitable areas for cemetery planning should reexamine all customs, traditions, and systems involving the disposal of human remains and the process of the body's decomposition to determine a more positive impact on the living.

• Roads

Roads can have many indirect impacts, such as habitat fragmentation, and also drive economic stimulation. When roads create barriers to movement, they can impact animal populations in many ways. They also improve the accessibility of the place, which may assist in more development in the area.

• Buildings

The proximity between old buildings could influence the design of new buildings (whether by using contrast, juxtaposition, or paralleling). It may impact the surrounding culture and context, and the building design may reinforce community problems. The distance between your building and the next can speak volumes.

However, feng shui cannot significantly influence the macroenvironment. It can draw positive energies from its external environment to your home. The Feng Shui consultant works with the architect and designer as an environmental psychologist on a space's practical and tangible issues to create a psychologically healthy environment for you. The consultant may then move into the more intuitive areas if you are inclined. For example:

1. Creating a new space that optimizes the positive energies for the individual’s life.

2. Improving an existing space where the atmosphere may add to a person’s problems.

3. Giving a client the tools to change a personal belief and pattern of behaviour.
