Sha at your Doorstep II

We now tackle situations that deal with pure yin sha directing toward the main door. The elevated water tank of your neighbor across the street fronting your door emits yin sha toward your door. Water chi is yin and can neutralize the yang chi. which is needed by the household to nurture health and fortune. The resultant sha emitted to the door will seriously impair the well being of the occupants. To counter this type of sha, plant tall shrubs to block the yin sha and hang a hexagram Ba-gua on top of your door.

Contrary to the notion that living across from a police precinct augurs well for your health, the police station holds the vibration of criminals, their thought forms or the energy generated by these social outcasts will be drawn into the house through the door. This will have a discordant effect that works against the unity and harmony of the family.

A funeral parlor fronting a house is most unfortunate. The funeral parlor 'holds' the yin chi associated with grief and the dead. This energy will be 'drawn' into the house through the door and can trigger nervous breakdowns, apparitions and sickness. The best solution is to transfer to another area; if this is not possible then relocate the front door to a position not directly facing the funeral parlor; if this still is not possible, hang a hexagram Ba-gua and a convex mirror on top of your door.

It could be reassuring to some to live close to a hospital especially in case of emergencies, but living across from a hospital gives sha to the house. The hospital, a source of yin chi, confines the sick and incidence of death is almost an every day occurrence. The door of the house fronting the hospital will draw in these yin energies. The cure is the same as the case wherein the main door of the house is facing the funeral parlor.

To be religious is a virtue but to be living opposite a church or a temple is not conforming to good Feng Shui rules. Churches or temples belong to the spiritual world. The energy associated with a church or temple is also yin and at times the ritual for the dead is being performed there. Drawing this type of energy into the house may cause sickness and yin manifestations. A church behind a house is not as bad as being in front of the house but should nonetheless be avoided.

The last type of sha is found at the outskirts of a community where the cemetery is located. A house fronting the cemetery will certainly bring in the pure yin chi associated with it. It is being observed that family fortune will go down, sickness and strange happenings will manifest. A hexagram Ba-gua hung over the door facing the cemetery and a 24-hour, low wattage lamp on the door will ameliorate the situation. The same cure can be applied to the house that faces a church or a temple.
