Feel disturbed in house

[suda]

Dear Cecil,
A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS 2000 TO YOU!
I like the new look of the site, very colourful and bold, except at times it is slower to download.
I am going to bug you about a query I had posted on Dec. 9, 99 under the topic 'House does not feel right'. I have re-posted the query and your replies below. You had asked for my birth date and time. I had posted the same with more details about the house, but I'm not sure whether you got it, because there has been no reply from you.
My detailed reply to your query is below. If you could please have a look and advise.
I have been trying very hard to overcome those funny feelings I get. Overall, I feel better, yet I still have problems getting to sleep at night.
Thanks and regards,
Anon
Dear Cecil,
Thanks so much for your replies. It makes me feel much better, specially because I felt a bit silly about the whole thing. As regards your queries, I am posting a few details here:
* A little about this house: It consists of two flats side by side on the first floor. Each has a hall, kitchen and a bedroom. The flat numbers are 101 and 102. The main entrance is the door of flat 102, which is NE facing. A numerologist we know advised us to keep the NE direction because as per Hindu astrology, it is auspicious. He also said the number ?102?which adds up to a 3 is not good and so asked us to write it as ?102B? for a more favourable number 5.
(Actually the original nos. were 103 and 104. Would it have been o.k. to buy a no.4 house? We had our reservations about it at that time. Then the builder changed his design and the numbers also changed)
* In the wall dividing the two flats, in the hall, we have made a small door. Along this wall, as per the 8 house theory, I have the death line. Do I need to put up a picture of any God on the wall to neutralise its effect?
* In between the two kitchens, we have taken out the dividing wall to allow free passage between the two flats. The toilet and bathroom in both flats face the open kitchen area.
We keep the toilet and bathroom doors always shut as far as possible. We have extended the kitchen platform in flat 101 so that the gas stove faces SE. The fridge, filter and drinking water vessels are next to each other, on the N-NE wall of the other kitchen.
* We have a lot of plants at home, but only in the halls and their window sills. None in the bedrooms. Is keeping a plant or two outside the main door for aesthetics okay?
* Outside my bedroom (which is facing SE-S), there is a huge open ground. Just to have some greenery, I went and planted about 11 trees in a row from one end of the building to the other end. The trees are 15ft. away from the building. It?s been a year and a half now and the trees are growing well. The ones in front of my window, a karanj and a neem, are about 6ft high.
* We have two wardrobe mirrors, but I keep them covered at bedtime. The hand mirror is always kept face down. I love collecting shells and have a boxful of them atop one cupboard. There are other shell decorated holders and paperweights too. Anything to this, ?cause I was told once that such stuff should not be kept in the house.
* My birth date is 3.6.1962 and time and day is 7.15 am, Sunday. My sister is elder to me.
* Noticed an odd thing - I get these funny feelings more strongly in the central area of the house - where the 2 kitchens, the toilets and bathrooms are, and even with a night light on. No matter how much I try to be in control, many times I restrict my movements in this area at night. But when I was sitting in the front room watching TV with my back to this area, I did not feel a thing.
But, when sleeping, I can see a part of this area from my bed, and I tend to get tense, keep awake and staring as if lot of invisible things are moving out there.
Then is it all just a trick of the mind?
Well, that?s a whole lot of stuff I am posting. So please bear with me.
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Anon

Dear Anon,
Grateful, if you are able to
provide me with your date of
birth. Where possible also the
time of birth.
This is because, I have been
investigating the use of
Pillars of Destiny.
For example, your Pillars of
Destiny chart should usually
have more Yin or at least half
Yin and Yang to be in my
opinion, able to feel `such
influences'.
However, in some cases, as
Pillars of destiny is our
Heaven Chart or Map, other
influences like our
experiences and other factors
may increase our sixth sense,
later in life. This would
account for some with Yang
influence yet sensititive to
or able to detect Yin
influences.
Alternatively, even if one is
Yang, situations like a NE
house and other Yin influences
include too much water
element, plants etc.. can
create additional Yin forces.
This includes the Flying `Yin'
stars.
Thank you in advance.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Anon,
Thank you for your detailed
description.
Under Feng Shui, there are a
few investigative `measures':
1. Check if there are any Yin
influences. For example,
outside the location of your
room are there plants or a
lone large tree just outside
your room.
2. Other Yin influences
include a few plants in the
home or even mirrors.
3. A Flying Star chart with
Yin stars can help to see if
there is Yin forces at the
room location.
4. For a North East house, if
you have not read the article,
do read:
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/gate
.htm
5. Another technique is to use
a Luopan, if the compass
swings in circles, it had
detected a ghost.
Usually, one has to throw it
away as soon as possible. If
not, one gets sick keeping the
Luopan.
Hope you can provide more info
on the above.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

Dear Cecil,
I stay with my sister and
parents in a NE house. As per
the 8 house theory, the house
is okay for them, except for
me - mine should be a SE
facing house. It's been a year
since we shifted into this
house. The previous house we
stayed in was also a NE house.
There's something that bothers
me and I wonder if feng shui
could help in some way.
As opposed to my very
practical parents and sister,
I have always been a sensitive
sort. I get lots of intuitive
hunches, get 'feelings and
vibes' about people and
places, etc. Lots of times, I
get this very spooky feeling,
as if someone is next to me
and involuntarily turn around
to look. Lots of times this
happens after twilight.At
night, I keep a night light
on, but still find myself
sleeping fitfully. I am afraid
I might almost conjure up
something . At first I thought
it was an overactive
imagination, but there's been
too many times that I have
experienced these
'hair-stands-on-end' feelings.
And to make it worse, I saw
this new movie 'The Sixth
Sense', which is making me
feel even more spooked, even
in daylight. Maybe here it's
just my fevered brain at work,
maybe not!.
The funny part is that I have
experienced these only in my
own houses! I have slept over
in my friend's place, even
walked down a dark corridor to
reach another room and I have
been perfectly okay. So this
psyches me all the more.
Maybe with all this, I should
be seeing a psychiatrist , but
am curious to know if feng
shui has any clues?
Thanks,
Regards,
Anon

Although house numbers `play a part' but it is of secondary concern in this case.

I believe you have read this short article on the Devil's gate.
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/gate.htm
I believe there might be a concentration of Yin elements in the house with the NE facing door.
Many a times, Feng Shui consultants have advised their clients to tilt the door to an angle facing a good direction of the breadwinner. But this has to be done properly. However, in your case, do not do anything as yet.

* In the wall dividing the two
flats, in the hall, we have
made a small door. Along this
wall, as per the 8 house
theory, I have the death line.
Do I need to put up a picture
of any God on the wall to
neutralise its effect?

The current knowledge on the Eight House is:
1. To determine how suitable the house to the owner.
2. Where possible avoid sleeping close to the death/disaster line.
Other than this, you need not do anything to neutralise the sector. Other than to keep the house more Yang. (Bright).

we have taken out the dividing
wall to allow free passage
between the two flats. The
toilet and bathroom in both
flats face the open kitchen
area.

vessels are next to each

* We have a lot of plants at
home, but only in the halls
and their window sills. None
in the bedrooms. Is keeping a
plant or two outside the main
door for aesthetics okay?

Since you have uncomfortable feelings at home. It is best not to keep any plants inside the house.
I am not sure how large the plants are but it is the belief that larger plants may unwittingly harbour spirits.
Too many plants may make a location too yin especially larger ones as it affects the lighting in the area.

* Outside my bedroom (which is
facing SE-S), there is a huge
open ground. Just to have some
greenery, I went and planted
about 11 trees in a row from

away from the building. It?s
been a year and a half now and
the trees are growing well.
The ones in front of my
window, a karanj and a neem,
are about 6ft high.

Before you planted these 11 trees, outside your bedroom, can you sleep properly then?
We should look at the trees even if they are planted at SE / South because, they may inadvertenly make that sector more yin.
Trees provide shade and by doing so, make that sector dark.
Is there any water positions inside or outside the house. Too much water would also result in Yin `conditions.'

Quote

* We have two wardrobe
mirrors, but I keep them
covered at bedtime. The hand
mirror is always kept face
down.
This sounds ok.
I love collecting shells
and have a boxful of them atop
one cupboard. There are other
shell decorated holders and
paperweights too. Anything to
this, ?cause I was told once
that such stuff should not be
kept in the house.

I believe this is ok.

For the moment, it is best if you can remove all plants inside the house. Other than those at the planter box.
Do you have any water positions or fish tank in the house?
Thanks.

Dear Cecil,
Thanks for your reply. Would like to clarify some things:
* The trees planted have about 8-10 ft. distance between them. Also, I planted them in the first place because there was way too much sunlight coming in and the rooms facing that side used to get very hot. These trees also do not have dense foliage. Is it still a problem area? Before planting them, do not think I slept any better. Then all that desolate muddy space used to bother me.
* The plants inside the halls are small plants - money plants, spiders - in small containers. The bigger plants are outside the hall windows on the ledge.
* About the water bodies, if you mean bathrooms, etc., I have tried to put down approx. where each is below:
* Adjoining my bedroom, is the bathroom. Next to it is the toilet. Both open out into the kitchen. Sink in the west corner of this kitchen.This is Flat 101.
* Similar layout of bathroom and toilet in Flat 102. In line with toilet door, along wall, is fridge; next to it filter and vessels with drinking water on a wrought iron stand.
Main entrance: Door of Flat 102 which faces NE.
Building entrance is more N/NW oriented.
If you could please advise on the above.
You had asked about my birthdate and time: My birth date is 3.6.1962

and time and day is 7.15 am,
Sunday.

Thanks and regards,
