A Day in the Life of a Feng Shui Consultant (and why I often have an extra unseen client!)

I walked into the room and felt the heavy atmosphere around me which was like walking through treacle, and there was the familiar feeling like something pressing down on my head. OK, not a problem, this was another consultation but with the addition of a trapped or earthbound spirit!

I had been called in by a lady who told me that her life was not moving on as she would like. She told me that she had a problem with throwing things out and her house would be very cluttered when I saw it. She also had a new man in her life but the romance was not going anywhere – and, oh yes, by the way, she thought that she also had a ghost! (She was right!!!)

This was a common scenario to me and, having seen and heard spirit people since childhood, something that I could cope with and sort out. As a two-year old child, my first remembrance was knowing that I had been an adult in a previous life with a much darker skin which bemused me slightly as I turned my arms over and over and looked at how light and pink the skin was now on my small, childish arms. As I grew, more remembrances came to me and I immersed myself in books to discover who, or what, I really was. It came as something of a relief to discover at the age of 16 when I found a group of like-minded souls that I wasn’t the only person in the world to feel like this after all. Seeing and feeling energy lead me to a lifetime study and finally a career in Feng Shui. But, anyway, I have drifted away from the story and will come back to all this another time.

My client had another problem – since she had moved into her house she felt that her eyesight had been getting worse – and the previous owner (who had since died) had gone blind. She was very worried about this and felt that it was directly related to him and she needed to be free of him being there.

I felt the male presence as I walked around the house and just murmured a quiet, “OK friend, I will be with you shortly”.

I spent the next couple of hours stepping over boxes, carrier bags and trying desperately to move from room to room without tripping over. My client really did have a problem letting go of things. “Have you moved from a much bigger house” I asked? “No” was the reply, “actually, a much smaller one”. Eek, I thought, more room means even more clutter to collect!

The Feng Shui went well and we discussed better furniture placement and a releasing of some bulky items that came with the residual energy baggage of divorce. Better colour schemes were arranged and her agreement to the releasing of all the stuck energy that comes with unwanted items that ‘might come in useful at some time’. The stagnation of energy would certainly start to dissipate when a lot of the clutter was got rid of and allow the clean, fresh energy to take its place.

I assured her that her romance would certainly blossom when her boyfriend could walk in and find a comfy armchair to sit (at that time, boxes and bags and various knick-knacks all had to be moved if you wanted to sit down anywhere). Also, if she was keen for the romance to proceed further, she really needed to make a space for her boyfriend by freeing up room in the wardrobe and emptying a drawer for his (potential) things. At the present time, there was only one small trail through all the clutter that led to her side of the bed! Definitely a romance that really wasn’t going anywhere!!

I then gave my full attention to this poor trapped spirit. I could feel his annoyance at the state of the house and had already been told that he had been very house-proud and kept the house immaculate. In a small but sacred ceremony I guided him to the Light and, soon after, left the house thinking that that had proved a good day’s work.

However, as I started my car, I was aware of the man in the passenger seat – he was not quite ready to go over yet! “Look, I know she hasn’t kept the house as nicely as you used to” I told him “but, just let it go, there is a much better place for you to go to and, after all, it is just materialism”. He must have finally decided that this would be a good idea after all as I felt the familiar shudder that tells me a spirit has finally gone.

I wonder if he is as house-proud in the beyond!
