Energies below ground level
Energy in a land varies from sector to sector and also depends on the quality of soil, past imprint of energies on the land and depth of the subsoil being excavated. Essentially a building energy flow can be corrected more easily when the structure is seated on the surface of the land whereas it gets a bit complex to re adjust energies of basements and sunken areas.
The influence of the positive forces is not just based on the land energy but also involves the amount of solar energy/light and air flow which has an influence on the occupants of such basements.
Basement Feng Shui is equally challenging as one has to be aware of the accumulation of energies in basement zones for the fact that from the Feng Shui perspective, neglecting the state of your basement is like neglecting the energy of your foundation and in turn the energy of the occupants. The Feng Shui energy of a basement apartment is also determined by the activity in the upper floors or in other words getting to know what exists and the type of activity above. For example a bathroom, cluttered space or open fire in the level immediately above the basement home could have a strong implication.
Primarily for ensuring good energy flow in a basement or studio apartment, ensuring thatThe unit is clutter free
Creatively dividing the various zones of open areas with proper Feng Shui elements to avoid a clash
Improve the quality of air with essential oils, and certainly with opening your windows as often as possible.
Allow more sunlight to come in or keep bright lights turned on for long hours.
Adapt colour lighting to create a band width of light energy frequency and accentuate corners and walls.
Display portraits or pictures which depict activity and energy which will aid in raising the energy of the basement space.
Most often basement dwellings are for commercial establishments and seldom do one design one for homes. However a similar ill effect exists for studio apartments. To derive positive benefits in a studio one needs to tune the energies accordingly. Creatively adapt Feng Shui elements to separate the space.
*If you wish to divide the south sector of your studio apartment from other activity areas, a tall plant, a wood screen, a wood bookshelf or a row of red curtains would help. Having knowledge of the five elements of Feng Shui and their interaction would help in choosing the proper remedy.
*If your concern is to create a good bed space in a studio apartment and to shield your bed from interaction with other energies like kitchen etc, dividers would be required. Primarily they should create a protective energy for your bed and to camouflage, or prevent the bed from being a focal point of your whole home. A simple remedy would be to adapt a free standing screen, or a bookcase without sharp corners or even a strategically placed tall plant ( away from the bed) will serve this purpose.
