House is your Larger Body Connecting to Nature
My intent in conducting a feng shui consultation is to have the house resonate with your inner feng shui Qi as suggested in the following excerpt from ‘The Prophet’ by Kahlil Gibran.
Speak to us of Houses.
Your house is your larger body.
It grows in the sun and sleeps in the stillness of the night; and it is dreamless.
Does not your house dream? and dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?
Would that I gather your houses into my hand, and like a sower scatter them in the forest and meadow.
Would the valleys were your streets and the green paths your alleys, that you might seek one another through vineyards, and come with the fragrance of the earth in your garments.
In their fear your forefathers gathered you too near together. And that fear shall endure a little longer -shall your city walls separate your hearths from your fields.
And tell me people of Orphalese, what have you in these houses? And what is it you guard with fastened doors?
Have you peace, the quite urge that reveals your power?
Have you remembrances, the glimmering arches that span the summits of the mind?
Have you beauty, that leads the heart from things fashioned of wood and stone to the holy mountain?
Tell me, have you these in your houses?
But you, children of space, you restless in rest, you shall not be trapped, not tamed.
Your house shall be not a glistening film that covers a wound, but an eyelid that guards the eye. You shall not fold your wings that you may pass through doors, nor bend your heads that they strike not against a ceiling, nor fear to breathe lest walls should crack and fall down.
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
And though of magnificence and splendour, your house shall not hold your secret nor shelter your longing.
For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion in the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of the night.
There is no separation from what your space contains, and the thoughts, attitudes, and health of your body and mind.

your space doesn’t ‘resonate’ with the flow of vitality like the green meadows and sparkling sun, and it is ‘stuck’ like the dead energy of decaying debris in the river
