High-rise residences boast the perks of elevated living: expansive, unobstructed distant views. However, auspicious feng shui prioritizes sheltering wind and gathering qi. The higher the dwelling, the more turbulent its internal magnetic energy field.
Some people may argue that feng shui is simply environmental science. Doesn’t a higher floor with unobstructed, broad views mean greater comfort and good feng shui?
We need to understand that environments have both obvious and hidden aspects. Much like certain flowers that look gorgeous yet are toxic.
The drawback of living too high is that the residence has no backing or surrounding support. From the perspective of environmental studies, such places suffer from excessive wind, which prevents qi from gathering and creates a chaotic magnetic energy field.
This refers not only to the magnetic field inside a house; the human body also has its own magnetic field. Try standing on a mountain peak—you will feel fine for a short while. But if you remain there for several hours, you will gradually feel cold, because the steady magnetic field inside your body gets disrupted by strong winds.
Many real estate merchants promote north-south cross ventilation as a prime selling feature. Yet how many ancient grand mansions feature such a layout? In high-rise residences, the cross wind blowing from north to south is extremely strong, which will definitely bring adverse impacts either on your career or physical health.
What floor counts as high? There is no fixed standard; we have to judge by reference to the surrounding buildings.
If all the surrounding buildings are tall, your residence will be deemed low. If the buildings around are all short, yours counts as high.
If everyone in the world were bald and you alone had a full head of hair, you would be seen as a freak. Good and bad are judged only through comparison.
Many people are currently residing in high-rise buildings, so what solutions are there for them?
Moving out would be the ideal solution. For those unable to relocate, place barriers indoors to block cross ventilation. Closing windows or installing folding screens can both help to a certain extent.
High-rise homes must avoid an empty open space to the north above all else. This creates intense north winds, making the dwelling bitterly cold in winter.
Issues such as women’s cold uterus, men’s poor sperm vitality, backaches, weakened reproductive function, constant fatigue and bad luck in career all stem from this.
If you’re staying in a high-rise apartment and have any of the above symptoms, you need to fix this as soon as you can.
