First and foremost, pay attention to how a home makes you feel! When you first arrive and when you walk into the home, take a moment to pause, check yourself for any sensations you feel in your body. If you feel good then it’s a house worth considering. If you immediately feel your stomach tighten, your head hurt or an uncomfortable sensation, you are encountering the first layer of vibrational non-alignment. Proceed with caution.

Now, let’s look at the exterior environment. Make sure the land supports plant life! Are the trees, grass and vegetation healthy? If not, chances are the chi or energy of the land isn’t sufficient to support the home and its occupants either.

Check to see if the ‘Armchair Theory’ is adhered to. This theory states, the home should have support at the back and sides--with walls, fences or landscaping--to contain the life-giving force called chi in order to nourish and support the occupants. The front of the home is best open, unobstructed and expansive. This welcomes the energy, bringing with it prosperity and opportunities.

As financial dilemmas heighten for many, it is paramount to select a home that not only supports us physically but financially as well! One sure fire way to reduce the money drain is to avoid a home that has a front door directly aligned with a back door. Don’t work hard making money only to find it’s slipping out the back!

So what should you see when you enter a home? Ideally, you want an area that is spacious enough to bring energy in, allow it to accumulate and then disperse throughout the home. This looks like a room or foyer in which the walls are at least 6 feet beyond the door and is bright and inviting! The chi here must be uplifting, eliciting a wonderful feeling whether you’re coming or going.
