This beautiful 2 acre property in Sonoma County includes an existing 1920’s home, pool and small accessory structures. The new owners requested Feng Shui analysis and recommendations for their proposed renovations to the home and updated site plan, which will feature edible gardens, an orchard, grazing area for livestock and new structures.
There were several energetic considerations impacting the site including :
- home pushed toward front of lot
- property slopes down on the West [left/ feminine*] side
- road and area property lines skew East on East side of property
- significant ‘bonus space’ on East half of property [right/ masculine*]
As the placement of the home offered little space for beneficial energy to collect at the front of the site, circulating throughout the property and nourishing their dreams, pathways and landscaping were recommended in addition to ‘transcendental’ cures to energetically push the home back.
The symbolism of imbalances on the property indicated a potential for the females to feel a drain or lack of support, while the males had additional space that could lead to an unforeseen direction. During the client intake, we learned this was the case with the previous owners [predecessor chi], and prioritized balancing the property through landscaping and transcendental cures including land ceremonies and space clearing.
Recommendations to the interior plans were minimal, but included minimizing ‘rushing chi,’ supporting the center of the home, and balancing controlling or draining Elements.
*In many energy work traditions, the R side relates to the masculine and L relates to the feminine. Also to note : BTB Feng Shui aligns the bagua to property entrance, vs. Compass Methods which align the bagua to the cardinal directions.
