If the house's energy is not harmonized with a person's energy, it causes the body's internal energy to be scattered. Lacking focused energy, it is easy to be anxious and nervous, to say things one does not mean, to sleep with out getting rest. Unable to think and act at one's full potential makes people get into conflicts, eat the wrong things, do the wrong things and be involved in many mishaps.

Feng Shui and Stair Cases

First, we must understand what a staircase is before we can know how it affects us. Staircases are made up of many steps, each protruding out as a potential source of danger. When we are not careful, it is easy to stumble or hurt ourselves on the steps. Staircases are also vertical shafts that penetrate through each floor, making a "hole" in the building, especially in high rises. In feng shui, staircases are known as a source of sha chi or potentially harmful or degenerating energy. Therefore, in order to understand what effect it has on us, we must know the residents' birth elements and where the staircase is located.
