Windows Help to SEE

A gorgeous house on a gorgeous property, yet the trees are taking over!

Today, we’ll talk about windows.

In Feng Shui theories, windows are the voices of the children.

Many times when I visit homes, shades are drawn. Often, I suspect they are permanently closed for privacy! At a recent home visit, the couple searched for several minutes for a remote control to open the blinds. As I stood waiting in the L-shaped living/dining room I was thinking of the children; one was destined to go to medical school, the other wanted to be a professional hockey player. Hmm.

When the blinds finally opened to let in the light, the gentleman nodded and smiled;

He was excited and said, “I like this. I like it with the blinds open!”

Considering their habit of living with the blinds down and blocking out the windows, he is actually limiting the children’s voices, opinions and expectations.

Another example about blocking is allowing overgrown bushes to overtake windows and even an entire house. Large bushes and trees can block sunlight if not planted or trimmed properly, allowing people to hide from the world.

And, no one cannot see what’s going on outside!

Any blockage, anywhere, compromises your phoenix vision. Think about the times you look up from your computer and off into the horizon. We experience our thoughts expanding as our brains open up. There’s always growth along our journey and that’s only one way to think, process and move forwards.

Some clients block their windows with bookshelves, giant televisions or even remodel their homes, forgetting about the importance of windows. I often hear the excuse of, ‘There’s nowhere else to put my giant TV?’

This new building is surely going to have issues getting light and vision into the home.

If you’re ok with blocking your windows, that’s fine for now. We all make our own choices.
– If you are ever at a time feeling stifled, not heard or things are not progressing…have another look at this topic.

Today, look around your home and check a few things. Make sure your vision OUT is clear in all rooms. Your blinds should open up each day; opening up for a short time will help bring in chi-energy (life force) and check that your windows can actually open. Your windows should be clean inside and out, and again, the mechanisms and hinges need to be in good working order.

The fall season right now is moving into darker days. We DO need to let the sunlight in. We do need our phoenix vision to process. And, we do need to allow our children to use their voices in order to learn and grow.
