Stomach is Related to the Earth Element and Partnership Room

Several months ago I received a concerned phone call from a young worried wife and mother. The pain in the stomach region of her body was severe. Taking care of an infant, a toddler and a hardworking husband was taking its toll. There were a few Feng Shui corrections to be made in the home to ease the stress she was experiencing, such as “treating” the center of the home. This Earth Element section, the Gua or section of the house, must be checked for health problems, along with the far back right Partnership area of the home. Another clue could be the master bedroom even if this bedroom is located in another section of the dwelling, for the bed is a very important when using Feng Shui. The bed is considered a living, breathing part of your life, as this piece of furniture provides rest and time to heal when we sleep.

The Partnership section of a floor plan, found by placing the Bagua or ancient eight-sided octagonal tool over the blueprint, allows the owners of the house to see where Chi or energy flow, is blocked in your space. This far back right corner of your property or home symbolizes the abdomen and has Earth-related energies. Using the color pink or the flesh color of the inside your mouth and lips is considered the correct Earth shade for the decor of a bedroom, sheets, curtains or objects. If this color doesn’t appeal to you, try red and white, pink or maybe some earth tone colors, especially yellows and corals for enhancing this Yin or female room.

In your case the master bed is directly in line with a bathroom. This energy continually crosses over the stomach of the person sleeping between the bathroom and the bed. The “cure” is to hang a round faceted pure 50mm crystal between the bed and the bathroom, breaking up the Sha or arrow like energy pointing continually at the person’s middle section of the body nearest the bathroom. This downward Chi of the toilet and other drains tug at the stomach and mid section during the night. I also suggest another crystal hung over the middle of the bed.

Her sister is also looking forward to getting pregnant, so I mentioned the fertility packet to help the sister conceive.

Here is our conversation by email after my on-site visit:

Good morning,

Just checking in to inquire about your health. Hope you are doing better. Have you been able to find the variety of solar lights that are now for sale in many stores for the summer? Four lights shining up to the roof edge around the corners of your house will lift everyone in the home’s energy.

For your stomach, another suggestion would be to place a square yellow cloth under the mattress or a bright yellow sheet between the mattress and box springs. It would be fine for everyone sleeping in the bed and uplift the Earth Element of Health.

Take care and blessings, Caroline

Hi Caroline:

Hope things are great at your end. Well, my main reason for sending this email is to share my good news with you. I had gone to UW for a second opinion, where they did a CT scan of my abdomen. By God’s grace, the doctor did not find a cyst. In fact, the doctor was shocked as he himself had seen the cyst in the MRI. I did tell him about the acupuncture. Since the cyst had mucin cells, he ordered a blood test to check for a tumor. That was negative. Then they did an ultrasound to check for gall stones. Guess what – NO STONE!

Miracles happen. I am so thankful to God for showing me the right direction. Now I have an endoscopic ultrasound to check my pancreas and maybe my bile duct. If they check the bile duct, then I will have to stay overnight at the hospital (I hope that does not happen).

Per your suggestion I did the yellow flower cure and keeping the legs at a 45-degree angle cure while resting 15 minutes twice a day, to readjust the sediment. Then you came to our house, and since then we added a clear 50mm crystal in center of our bedroom and recently put a yellow square cloth under the mattress. I am still cautious as far as my diet is concerned, and I am also going for acupuncture.

So this was my update that I wanted to share. I wanted to again confirm from you about sharing Feng Shui information. My sister got remarried recently and wants to have kids. She was inquiring about Feng Shui as I did the same when I was trying. If I share information with her, she needs to send money with a thank-you note in a red envelope. Then sharing information with her will not have a negative effect on me. Is that right?

Caroline, thanks for your support during this difficult period.

Regards,

Your client

Dear client,

I’m so happy with your news. It is always a thrill to hear how Feng Shui can help. I still hope you are able to get the solar lights that shine upward, lifting the Chi for all of you. This will bring a big relief to Career opportunities, Health and all of the Guas.

May I share your successes in my newspaper column? Your privacy is respected. No names or addresses are revealed. Please let me know, as this information of hope helps many readers who also need to know there are many ways Feng Shui can also help with Health problems.

Yes, it is advisable to accept 9 red envelopes when sharing cures. A red envelope blesses both parties in the Feng Shui. It also shows respect for the person who gives this ancient “secret” knowledge. If she is trying to get pregnant, I advise a consultation, as there are many, many things I can tell her to help her before, during and after conception about the house, the bed, her body, the location of the child’s room, and the best placement or a cure for other rooms that serve as a nursery. Consultations can be done with pictures, email and phone. For example, I am doing one for a large office in China today. The company uses my Feng Shui services to continually update their facility for the owner’s continued success and employees’ current problems. The company’s profits have increased so much since using the Feng Shui methods I suggested, they have expanded with additional offices in Boston and China. Their main offices and warehouses are located in California.

A fertility package cure is available through a special source. When the baby arrives I will do a “welcoming home of the new child” ceremony, which acquaints the newest member of the family to your home environment. The Element of the baby’s birth is also a great help in “knowing” your child, what are his/her best colors, foods and clothing.

Continued Blessings, Caroline

Hello Caroline:

Thanks for your response. Yes, you can definitely write my story in your column as long as there is no name. If possible, please do send the link to me also.

Just to let you know, we did add two solar lights in the backyard, and also one big chime in the entrance. And tomorrow we will be adding one 9-inch mirror to push the energy from the house behind us. And definitely never forgot to pray to the Almighty, who directed me towards Feng Shui and acupuncture.

Thanks for your continued support.

Best Regards,

Your client
