Strange Illnesses and House Designs

Houses hold stories of how we have lived in the past and how we are comfortable living. It takes an experienced Feng Shui consultant to listen and see what they story tells. This case history is a good example of helping the client to listen to their own house and houses from the past. Educating builders and architects about the effects of bad design is my dream. Seeing how sloped ceilings, sharp corners, angles, overhangs, slanted walls and weird designs can cause unexplained illness in children and adults is overwhelming. Look at God’s design of the body inside and outside and you will see my point! Excuse the pun! I don’t have enough time and space in this column to describe the wear and tear these designs put on our families, let alone the EMF’s putting “zoomies” into our children’s head. Yesterday alone I checked four radio alarm clocks 16 inches from people’s heads while sleeping. They measured from 18 to 22 EMF’s. In some countries it is unlawful to have over .8 in appliances. Please go online to see the effect these harmful energies have on our immune system.

I was asked by a wonderful family who had built their dream house for a consultation. Two of their four children are having heath problems. One young teen had tumors and their one-year-old had Downs Syndrome. I’m not saying that these conditions are not genetic, but in the very words of highly regarded author and physician Christine Northrop’s PBS program, she brings up the extensive research she has done for her life-changing books on women health, “the environment is 70% responsible for our genetics and health.” That blew me away. I thought it was about one-third. Here are the emails that took place after the consultation:

Hello again,

It was such a pleasure meeting your precious family. I could feel the love in your house and most of the rooms are so welcoming. I could sit in those large blue-green down-cushion chairs you had in the Knowledge corner room forever, and I love the fireplaces. Thank you for your hospitality. I was able to bless the well house as I was leaving. We will talk more about that and other things when I return. Let things settle and do things slowly. It is best that way. Again, a sky scene could be a fun project for the girls’ room, with clouds, birds and trees which gently come from the corners and flow upward. Add more “glow-in-the-dark” stars or constellations to the slopes, hang mobiles and light the areas part of the day with electricity. Small wind chimes over the children’s heads will uplift their Chi. Also tiny mirrors or round crystals hung from strings are fun and catch the light from outside. I’m getting excited thinking about it! Don’t forget to use the bed to Feng Shui between mattresses and box springs for everyone. Use each qua as you would over the home, for color and correction, such as a note in the Helpful People section of the bed, which would be the lower bottom right corner. Wag or wiggle the corner nine times a day or when you think about it.

Use the yellow squares or a large yellow square as big as the body between the mattress and box springs for health problems. Tumors are symbolically unbirthed ideas, which is a really positive thing to know, because then the person can release these dreams and ideas and put them into form, from fibroid tumors in the uterus to other places on the body. Relate what place on the body is the tumor to the reason to be stuck or blocked. Arms reach out, legs move forward, organs relate to the center of the house and center of the body. Get some live bamboo plants, big and small, and place through out the house and outside for flexibly, peace, support, protection and longevity. There are many varieties and several types that don’t spread. Place in large pots outdoors if you wish to contain them. Again, we will talk more when I return.

Blessings, Caroline

Hi Caroline,

Wow, I was just recounting my experience (wonderful) with you yesterday with the office people. I have to let you know that as soon as you passed the beautiful crystal to me and I hung it up, I felt more peaceful and ‘whole.’ So many things happened just last night – quite strange and wonderful too. My husband slept well for the first time in a very long time, and even stayed in the house in the morning for coffee with me before both of us went to work. I will be slowly and thoughtfully doing the things you suggested to/with the home – and enjoying it and praying about it as we go. I’m looking forward to when you return. I’m sure I’ll have more amazing stories to share with you! You are a Godsend, and I’m sure you know that already. Be safe on your trip. Where are the best places to put those two crystals? Thank you so much ... again and again ... for fitting me into your schedule before you left. Hmm, you must be in my ‘Helpful People’ corner!

Sincerely,

A Client

Hello to you,

I got chills over and over again when you hung the crystal in your dining room above the table near the center of the house. It is full of healing energy presented by Rinpoche Ho Lynn and others visiting Rinpoches. To obtain the title of Rinpoche, the person must complete years of study of normal Western college material, spiritual study, practice and devotion, and be effective as a Master of Chi.

It was presented to me for lecturing on Reiki and giving treatments for the Yuan Yuan Educational Foundation for their Alternative Health Expo last January in San Francisco. This is something else I would like to offer my clients, Reiki. You can research it while I’m gone. It is a Japanese healing method. Reiki can be done at a distance and sent to the patient. Hang the additional crystals above the beds of your children who have health problems. This will lift the slanted ceiling downward, pressing energy off the beds while they sleep.

See you when I return, and we will continue our “cures.”
