Feng Shui, I have multiple beams in my family room, some intersect, what to do?

lina inverse asked:


the beams are on the ceiling and run throughout the width of the screened in part of the outdoors family room. there are about 8 beams in all, AND there are at least 2 beams that run perpendicularly to the 8. AND a central supporting pillar.

I’ve attempted to “cure” the pillar by draping it with a gauzy curtain and a decorative line of papier mache. and “attempted” to cure the beams by hanging a bunch of paper asian “party lamps (no light)” off of most of the beams. and a wooden wind chime. it still seems sort of “wrong”.
any advice?

nobody uses the room, i think because of bad feng shui. need more cures i guess.

thanks in advance.

   try adding colorful potted plants. added color can pull a persons attentions away from the pillars and plants naturally improve feng shui

   feng shui wind chimes

   Take down all the lanterns and curtain and everything you have that draws so much attention to the pillars. Instead, hang just one wind chime, a simple glass one, and hang a few potted plants, like ivy and pothos. Plants are a great cure for anything. They bring life and air to the room.
   Meaningless clutter is not good for a anything. Hope that helps.

   i really dont believe in cures/ remedy. because a cure cannot make a bad fengshui into good; it just makes it neutral.

   if your ceiling is very high, then your beams wont affect you. the beams only affect you, if you have a low ceiling. as the flow of chi will affect your body, esp if the room is a bedroom. but if the beams are in a room where you do not stay long. then it is okay.

   i think you misunderstood what fengshui is about. forget about what most books tell you. you will just be more confused and paranoid. if you really like to learn about some fengshui methods. you can get “an advanced course in fengshui” by eva wong, it explains basic flying stars, which is simple yet powerful. that book is worth reading. but you need to note that this book only teaches you the basic use of the method. for a deeper understanding, you need to attend some seminars held by fengshui masters/ practitioners.
