Aloha jennyherbs,

Good questions and opportunities for learning on all sides with this one.

Quote:

We are looking at buying a home that is NW 2. However the front door is set back (west area is 'missing') and falls in the disaster star center area. Our plan is to build a porch/entryway and so move the front door into the NW area which has relationship/collaboration star and abundance star.
Is there anything we can do before we move in to improve the feng shui and help along a smooth purchase and transition.



Front Door
Building an enclosed porch to bring out the front door could bring it out of the center and into a pretty good location for your period 8 house.

Check out where the master bedroom lands in your Time Feng Shui chart, as well as other locations. Rememeber that you may not find a a home with perfect feng shui, but having a front door under a good star, facing a good direction, and having a good star in you master bedroom is a very good start. Marie also talks more about what to look for in buying a home in the Volume 1, Issue 2, Space Feng Shui Newsletter CD

Before Moving In
Do the tubes of light meditation with your self and include the house. Add the card of the realtor and a picture of the house in your success direction.

On the pre-move in
Take the house through the clearing exercises in Forgiveness Facet of Level One.

Painting (as you brought up somewhere later in this thread)
Check out the "Painting with Space Feng Shui to Attract Abundance" section in your Space Feng Shui Newsleter Vol. 2, Issue 1.

Aloha Levetateme,
A couple things of clarification:

The Dowsing class this weekend is a pre-requisit to Marie's consultant certification, as is her advance Diamond Feng Shui class which gets more into the background of the moving "flying stars." Marie has more in depth work available for those looking for it.

Sarcasm is a very distant cousin to humor.

Teaching a person to fish is more helpful in the long run than handing them a fish...unless the person is malnurished and needs the fish right now to survive. Keeping it as simple as possible and no simpler is a good starting point. Similar to Coach Wooden teaching his UCLA basketball players how to tie their shoes, build from the fundamentals.

There are quite a few systems of Feng Shui in (and out of) exsitance. Suggesting another system's mothod of dong something because one doesn't understand the rational behind Marie's system's perspective, only muddies up the water.

Much Love, Shawn
