Hi,
Good for you for finishing and getting into the groove of your own personal home environment and feng shui.
That is so interesting and fascinating. It really makes a difference in one's energy level when you feel supported and are in positive environments. Many people have found that it can be draining and tough to find motivation when they do not jive with their home environment or are influenced by the dense stars.
The good thing is that the feng shui is holographic. What you do in a macrocosmic way you can on a microcosmic level. By all means close the space of the 9 directions in your home. If the southwest falls outside your living area you can still claim that space by putting a rock or crystal in that corner to close off the pakua. You can also activate the SW abundance and power star in the southwest corner of a room you frequently use. Intention really drives feng shui. When you place the crystal in the SW hold in your consciousness the intention to activate the power and abundance stars. Any activations you do carry energy for the whole home.
If the cure called for is still water than do turn off the bubbling fountain in that area. Once the bubbling stops you could actually use that as your still water cure. Again, just be sure that as you are doing these actions to hold in your consciousness the reason for doing what you are. If it is to cure the disaster star, keep that in mind as you are adjusting any of the items in that area. If water is the cure then the element is probably weakening the energy of a star that is associated with the metal element since water weakens metal. If you put metal in this area then that would only be activating that star.
Remember, you have three layers of feng shui from which to operate: your personal energy number, the general space feng shui and the time feng shui. If you are wanting to activate one of the time feng shui stars use the specific activations mentioned in the manual. This does not cancel out your activations for your personal energy number or general feng shui. They are all different layers and levels that have value on their own. If you have activated a general space feng shui direction with a wealth ship and you find out there is also an abundance star in that area then you can also add the specific activation for that star just hold the intention for the activation of the star.
Hope this helps!
All the best,
Kat
