Lack of Natural Light and Narrow Entryway
In ancient times, it was believed that the area in front of a house attracted wealth and prosperity. Therefore, a narrow entrance represents a lack of welcome for this energy. Insufficient lighting within a home can lead to an increase in negative energy, impacting the health and well-being of its occupants.
Scientific research supports this belief, as exposure to natural light is directly linked to physical and mental health. Without it, people can become unwell and weak. A dark home can feel like a prison or even resemble hell, as described in some religious texts.
In practical terms, a narrow entrance or insufficient lighting can make daily life challenging and uncomfortable. This can lead to arguments and a drain on the physical and mental health of the residents. Such an oppressive atmosphere can severely impact one’s overall well-being.
Homes Facing North or West
In the past, people avoided building homes facing west or north. A west-facing home experiences intense heat during the day, making daily life uncomfortable. From a feng shui perspective, the west is associated with the setting sun and signifies decline.
The north direction brings cold winds, and in feng shui, it is considered a negative direction. Homes facing north can lead to health issues and a lack of family harmony due to the constant chill.
Therefore, the preferred orientation for a home is towards the south, known as the ‘yang’ direction. This orientation provides coolness in the summer and warmth in the winter. A home that allows air and wind to flow from north to south creates a pleasant and comfortable living environment. Homes without proper ventilation can cause fatigue and exhaustion for their occupants.
Lack of Windows
Windows are essential for ventilation and natural light. A home without windows can feel like a sealed box or even a tomb. In such an environment, occupants may feel suffocated and deprived of fresh air. The lack of airflow can lead to stagnant energy and an unhealthy living space. Homes with ample windows, on the other hand, benefit from improved ventilation and natural lighting, promoting better health and well-being for their inhabitants.
Constant Dampness in the Home
Dampness and humidity within a home can impact both health and feng shui. The presence of moisture creates an ideal environment for mold and bacteria to thrive, posing health risks. From a feng shui perspective, dampness indicates a loss of wealth and prosperity.
Doors That Directly Face Each Other
In home design, it is considered unfavorable to have doors that directly face each other, either between neighboring homes or within the same house. This layout can lead to practical issues and create a sense of unease, as occupants of both homes can see into each other’s spaces, resulting in a form of ‘clash’ or ‘conflict’ energy. Additionally, in a home where doors are aligned in a straight line, air and energy flow through without being retained, leading to an uncomfortable living environment and potential financial losses. For these reasons, such door placements are strongly discouraged in traditional beliefs.
