Something to know about feng shui is that it's actually the property that's the most important aspect of selecting a place to live.

In cities, other buildings represent mountains and streets and parking lots represent bodies or rivers of water.

Prospective Reports provide the knowledge about the house you're considering, so you have the awareness about the potential effects on your life and the remedies that will be required to balance the energy. They are just as important as a house inspection.

When reading about the energy visiting the various guas and their potential effects on you and your life this year, keep the two most important areas of your home in mind. The front door and the bedrooms are the key areas to remedy and enhance. You bring the energy at the front door in with you every time to you enter your home. And you spend one-third of your day/life in your bedroom sleeping, so the energy in the bedrooms for you and your family also have a great impact on your health and well-being. If you work from home, your home office is also vitally important to feng shui as well.

Elements, colors and symbols, as well as, intentions can be placed in rooms of the house to magnetize the energy required to be a match to what we want to manifest and enjoy more of in our lives.
