A person may consider modern Feng Shui for problems that did not exist when the system first came into being.
The issue of electrical cables is one aspect involving modern Feng Shui energy discussion. When constructing your residence, it is wise to keep the electrical cables away from your head in your bedroom or where you most often sleep. When you build your home, you need to tell your contractor to raise the cables at least 2 meters or 6 feet nearly off the floor of your home.
This prevents dangerous EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation from directly affecting your head. Digital clocks generate powerful EMF energy and so, you need to keep these gadgets on the other side of the room.
When plugged in orange juicers, hair dryers, electric shavers, and electric clocks are the worst household appliances to be on your bed side. The level of damage they do to your health will depend on the length of time you’ve been exposed to these appliances. But what about the hairdressers and carpenters and the other millions of assembly or factory workers, or even the office workers who are exposed to strong EMF energy every day? No wonder cancer cases have risen to epidemic proportions.
In your home, a huge problem area is usually the office area. Under your desk, you may have several transformers powering a number of office equipments. There is a measure of safety for EMF in Sweden with 2 considered a safe rating. In the office area of some people’s home, an EMF field greater than 900 is oftentimes measured. This is a very dangerous EMF level to be exposed to especially if you’re in that area every day.
In the 1990’s, an Australian medical journal reported that it wasn’t clear how large EMF’s were but it was the same way to the knowledge about cigarettes in the 1950’s. While we know the risk for harm is significant for EMFs, only long term studies will reveal just how harmful it is.
Do not build a home near high voltage power lines, sub stations and electrical transformers. Near the vicinity of these places, the EMF energy is very strong and it could affect the value of your home as more and more people are realizing the problems associated with EMF including high incidence of cancer especially among children.
We also recommend using Feng Shui for fun. Appropriate placement of rock features, water, mirrors, and ornaments can increase the beauty of your home and bring prosperity and good luck to all who live with you.
