Broadly speaking, Feng Shui is an ancient art originating in China that helps ensure environments support health and well-being by managing how living spaces are located, designed and decorated. Feng Shui acknowledges the living spirit and energy of a place and seeks to create, or allow, balance and harmony. Although any formal practice of Feng-Shui can have complex features, it is possible to take some of the basic principals of harmony and design and use them to good effect.
Feng-Shui rests on the idea that we are vibrationally attuned to our environments. This mutual
attunement affects how we feel and behave, and can be equally true for animals as well as humans. Animals are highly sensitive to the energies around them. The same positive and negative energies in your home that affect you will affect your pet as well. Colors, lighting, clutter, the location of your pet’s bed or where it spends most of its time are all important considerations when attempting to determine the causes of any health imbalances as well as possible solutions.
Example of a healing through Feng Shui:
- In one case, a dog that was being bred would not become pregnant and was diagnosed with pyometra, a potentially life-threatening infection of the uterus for which spaying is the recommended follow-up treatment to prevent recurrence. When the owner’s home was examined from the perspective of Feng Shui, it was obvious that the area of the house corresponding to health and fame consisted of step-down rooms where the flow of energy was stagnating. It seemed that the dog had been carrying and manifesting this stagnation. After a Feng Shui adjustment, the energy was released and allowed to flow freely. The dog, after receiving veterinary care, fully recovered, was bred again and delivered a healthy litter. She has been reproductively healthy ever since. The release of the stagnant energy cleared the path for the creation of new life for the owner and the dog.
