IT IS believed that by “listening to the earth”, we become attuned to the energy of the universe, for this energy is manifested in the air as wind, on the earth as water and land, and in the sky as stars.

The earth is an entity animated by energy. Energy flows in it, through it, and around it.

Investing in a property calls for a proper assessment of this energy, hence feng shui advice for plot selection is based on the study of multiple factors such as the direction of the site, the type of soil on the site and the slope of the plot, compass directions, the plot’s suitabilit­y to the proposed owner in terms of bazi, and the affliction­s it faces due to its surroundin­gs.

An irregular plot can also affect the house which is constructe­d on it.

When you are looking to invest in a plot, first relax and walk on the plot you intend to buy, close your eyes and take a deep breath to get a feel of the place.

You will feel happiness while walking, and feel relaxed if the plot emits a positive energy.
