energies with which we have chosen to surround
    ourselves. Our Earth Luck is within our control and can be changed
    and manipulated with feng shui principles.
    Heaven Luck: Heaven Luck refers to the cards you are given, so to speak, for this lifetime at birth. Whether based upon Western, Vedic,
    or Chinese astrology, it is your destiny or fate. This includes past
    karmas, past lives, and the ancestral stamp you are given. While we
    don’t have as much control over Heaven Luck as the other two, we
    are not victims of our own fate either. Working with modalities,
    such as energy work, astrology, meditation, or Qi development can
    work through challenging aspects.

    Human Luck: Human Luck consists of our will, drive, intentions, outlook, and efforts. It is our free will made up of the choices we have
    made and will make. It is how we choose to run our energy, our
    thoughts, and intentions. Do you see life half full or half empty? This one question will determine a large portion of your life as it underlies all of our thoughts and intentions in life.
    Each of these three aspects makes up 33 percent of our luck or
    destiny. It is important to note that all three work not in isolation, but together. Each one affects the other. For example, you could be born
    a gifted painter, but choose not to invoke your human luck to pursue
    your talent. Someone else with mediocre talent could take full advan-
    tage of their human luck and become a successful artist through much
    training and hard work.
    When I come across clients who want to blame their home for all
    the things that have gone wrong in their life, I try to help them with
    using more positive intentions. At the same time, many people, particu-
    larly in the West, underestimate the power of the Earth Luck and the
    effect their living space has on their life. By understanding the Cosmic Trinity, you can best invoke all three to optimize your life, destiny, and fortune. In my feng shui practice, I encourage clients to incorporate intention when making feng shui changes as this will bring about a more
    powerful impact on the desired change.
    Harnessing the Earth’s Energy
    The Earth’s terrain, directions, earth elements, and colors are all visible expressions of the Earth’s energy. There are also invisible lines of energy below the Earth’s surface that affect life on Earth. Consequently, some areas are more auspicious and prosperous than others. The Earth’s
    energy below the surface is often expressed on the surface through its
    topography. This is the essence of feng shui and other environmental sciences that have been studied and passed down for centuries.
    One of the primary methods of studying the Earth’s energy below
    the visible surface is geomancy . It resulted from a translation of feng shui in the 19th century by Christian missionaries in China and is still 20 Your Home’s Origin
    commonly practiced, primarily in Europe. Geomancy is a method of
    divination used to interpret the visible topography and invisible ley
    lines of the land. Many sacred sites are located on auspicious lines that lie below the Earth’s surface detected and made known by geomancy. It
    is theorized that Stonehenge, among other sacred sites, lie along powerful ley lines connecting a powerful underground energy grid.
    A great importance was placed on locating sites for churches, tem-
    ples, and mosques. For example, geomancy was used to locate power
    spots. Christian cathedrals were often sited on old pagan sites because they were considered power spots. Priests would also use geomancy to
    locate sites and harness the power of the sites. The direction was also an important consideration with Eastern-facing being the preferential
    siting of most temples and churches.
    While these deliberate location techniques are not commonly prac-
    ticed today, the importance of location cannot be underestimated. Liv-
