Q: What's the difference between a "cure" and an "enhancement"?
A: A cure is used to balance energy and to compensate for poor design, a structural challenge or a "missing" area. An enhancement is used to boost or activate the energy in a particular area.

Q: I am considering buying a new home that is situated near an electrical power pole. Should I be concerned?
A: In a word, yes! Power poles/lines can send harsh, unfavorable energy into a home and can create various problems and obstacles over time. It's important to deflect any negative Ch'i through the use of fencing, landscaping, and/or the use of a traditional Ba Gua mirror. You didn't mention how close your house stands in relation to the power pole/lines. For your own piece of mind and future safety, I would also recommend having an EMF reading taken of the property internally and externally.

Q: I've heard that it's "bad Feng Shui" to have your bed positioned under an overhead beam. Why is this?
A: As you may or may not know, there is a lot of symbolism attached with Feng Shui. With this in mind, laying beneath a heavy beam represents added weight and stress "hanging over you". (Definitely not good Feng Shui.) Likewise, a beam that runs the length of the bed and, specifically, right down the center, is thought to split up (or divide) a couple over time. My advice? Avoid having anything heavy over you while you sleep, eat, read or work...you'll feel better.

Q: How can I receive the best results from my Feng Shui?
A: Great question. It all depends on how much you want to "embrace" the process. I use Feng Shui in thought and practice. This includes:
1. Getting rid of all your physical clutter. (Which is instrumental in unblocking stagnant Ch'i.)
2. Doing a thorough house cleaning. (Include all the areas you don't normally get to.)
3. Conducting your own space clearing.
4. Start implementing Feng Shui in the appropriate area(s). Remember, every time you place an enhancement reflect on what your true intention and desire is. Avoid making too many changes at once and/or what I call "unconscious" changes [moving things around without clarity of purpose].

Q: How long does it take for a normal Feng Shui enhancement to work?
A: The purpose of using an enhancement is to activate the surrounding Ch'i. Generally speaking you can expect to see a change or shift within a month which represents the full cycle of the moon. If time passes and nothing happens, remove the original enhancement and try something else.
