It should be obvious that the rooms in a home in which a person spends the most of their time are the ones that need the most attention. There is often no other area in the house that can compete with the bedroom(s) or the extensively used office space. despite this, we are able to dissect a whole floor plan in order to evaluate the impacts that are having on other parts of the home as well. The whole household may be negatively impacted if the kitchen or bathroom is in an awkward location. Some of the energies in a home are not apparent to the naked eye but are very potent. These energies were formed during the construction of the building. During the process of laying the foundation, energy that originate from the ground travel upward. When the roof is completely finished enclosing the house, the energy from the sun and stars are able to travel downward and be collected within the home. The year in which the roof is first installed is referred to as the year of construction. There will be resonating energies in a home or structure that is composed of several stories. For instance, if you have a bedroom right over a dining room, then those two rooms will have some comparable affects because of their proximity to one another. Consequently, it is also true that basements and attics will typically have an energy that is comparable to that of the rooms that are either above or below them in the structure. When transforming spaces like basements and attics into rooms that are utilized on a daily basis, this becomes an extremely important consideration. They are susceptible to requiring various element cures, just like any other room in the home. Additionally, the yin-yang idea is relevant due to the fact that basements and attics are often regions that can need more light than what they were initially given with. It’s common for rooms that were converted from attics to have slanted ceilings, and sometimes such ceilings are even lower than the standard height. Although having low ceilings might make it easier to concentrate, they shouldn’t be so low that the area seems congested or that it causes people to experience feelings of claustrophobia. basement ceilings are occasionally left unfinished, when beams and air ducts or exposed plumbing lines are not ideal to have above head for a highly utilized space. another facet of yin-yang philosophy that becomes more visible with attics and basements is temperature. heat rises, thus an attic may become uncomfortably hot and a cellar may be perennially frigid. exactly like their representation in movies, individuals frequently feel terrified by their own attic or basement, as if every one of these areas becomes possessed by a ghost. it’s sort of funny that we instinctually predict that a dark, untidy, abandoned environment would be inhabited by ghosts. if an attic or basement is merely utilized for storage, then having a lot of illumination is not necessary. people ask me all the time whether they have clutter or storage rooms in specific sections of the home, if it may have a bad affect on some element of their life. this is typically not the most crucial issue to be concerned about. in reality, we can conclude that if you are able to place all your extra odd stuff in the attic or basement, better there than filling up areas that you use often, where you require more open space. there are no further supernatural mysteries to tell regarding attics and basements. they merely need to be balanced according to yin-yang principle in order to be pleasant as dwelling places. not too dark, not too light. not too hot, not too chilly. they should have high enough ceilings to function in and stable enough flooring to feel safe walking around. after that, they can be evaluated like any other floor in a house with all the other feng shui principles applying. in working with clients, kartar helps them prioritize the big problems from the small problems and this can include different areas of the house and how they are used. kartar has authored several books on traditional feng shui and also has an on-line mentoring program for people who want more advanced information. for more details, go to www.fengshuisolutions.net
