Feng Shui & Fertility

There are many factors in our surroundings that can affect our health and well being in both a positive and/or negative way. More specifically, there are several areas of Feng Shui that can be explored when there are fertility issues. In some cases there are medical conditions that have been diagnosed however there are also many instances where the medical profession has found nothing wrong and the source of infertility remains a mystery.
Regardless of whether you are treating fertility using natural methods such as nutrition or more radical methods such as fertility drugs or in vitro fertilization, Feng Shui can support and increase the results of whatever action is already being taken. There are many important environmental factors to consider especially if you are experiencing any type of health problems.
Geopathic Stress (GS) is a naturally occurring energetic earth line that is toxic to many life forms including humans. These lines form a grid like pattern and their intensity is increased at crossing points. It is very common for someone sleeping on a GS line to experience compromised sleep quality, leading to a lowered immune system, and eventually manifesting into health problems. More specifically, in most cases this will cause decreased fertility and an increased potential for miscarriage.
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) are manmade and result from the presence of electricity in our environment. Like GS, EMF also effects quality of sleep, immune system, etc. Our bodies carry an electric current which is DC or direct current while our homes electrical systems and appliances use AC or alternating current. These two types of current are not compatible as you will have experienced if you ever plugged a battery driven device into an electrical outlet. The resulting smoke, sparks, and inability to operate are similar to how our bodies react to sleeping in an Electromagnetic Field.
Be aware that we may be exposed to GS and EMF energy in our daily surroundings. The goal is to avoid them while sleeping as this is when we are most vulnerable. A good rule of thumb is to keep all electrical appliances unplugged or at least three feet from your body while sleeping.
There are specific areas of your home that can be examined in relation to fertility. The area of a building that is related to Children is the western sector. This area can be enhanced using the Metal element. Be sure the rooms in this part of your home are used on a regular basis. Also they should be uncluttered. This means no physical clutter as well as unfinished projects, things that are broken or unloved. Another area to pay close attention to is the bedroom which can be balanced using elements based on your four pillars. The element related to the reproductive system is water. In essence this means the plumbing in your home needs to be in good working order.
There are several advanced methods of analysis used by the Feng Shui expert and many of these can reveal additional factors that effect fertility. These systems identify specific directions, sectors, or elements that are related to health as well as other aspects of life. Examples of these include:
Ming Kua calculations, based on gender and date of birth, provide information regarding your auspicious and inauspicious directions. These are specific to each individual regardless of where they live or work. Ba Zai provides information about the auspicious and inauspicious sectors of a building based on Lo Pan Compass and analysis of the trigrams, five phases, etc. This information is specific to each building regardless to who lives or works there.
Flying Star is based on a buildings Lo Pan reading and age. These calculations are made using the elements of both time and space which makes it possible to examine the fortune of a building throughout different ages. In this system the area related to health moves according to cycles of time. Four Pillars charts are calculated using time of birth, yin/yang, five elements and a variety of other tools. This provides information on your constitution and character regarding strengths, weaknesses, and helpful elements. Using Chinese medicine an imbalance of elements could be treated using herbs. Using Feng Shui the balancing or supporting elements are introduced into your environment. Elements vary based on your personal needs. For instance wearing metal jewelry may enhance or decrease your ability to become pregnant depending on your chart. Similarly the presence of certain elements in your bedroom can have positive or negative effects for each individual.
Anyone trying to conceive wants to do every thing possible to become pregnant. While they may pay close attention to monthly cycles, nutrition, etc., these are internal aspects. By also examining the Feng Shui of their surroundings, an external environment can be created to support and enhance their efforts.
