Improving Your Building's Health with Feng Shui

Feng Shui consultant, Design For Energy

Bau-biologie has emerged as a kindred spirit to Feng Shui. Bau-biologie (from the German) translates to "building biology". It is how buildings and environments impact human health and biological life. The many factors that it observes, measures and attempts to regulate include healthful indoor air and water quality, climatic influences, solar design potentials, and the toxicity of building materials and household cleaning agents.

Bau-biologie encourages the use of safe and sustainable construction materials and the mitigation of excessive electro- magnetic fields and emissions from Cellular and Wireless technologies. It encourages a holistic and healing approach to home and work environments. It seeks to add VITALITY to spaces by minimizing hazards to health and well being and maximizing healthful possibilities.

Have you ever interviewed for a job or worked in a space that felt awful, draining, or stifling?  Some spaces can be fixed with decor, lighting, inspiring artwork, etc., but some cannot. Its because there are factors in the space making it a sick place to work. If the building is sick, how do you think you will do living or working there? Corporations, businesses, can reduce turnover and increase productivity by improving the health of the building.

Since Western Science is responsible for many of the hazards inside our homes and work spaces, it makes sense that Western Science should provide the solutions. Here are some things to consider:

We spend over 90% of our time Indoors, so our Indoor air quality is Crucial
It has only become a problem in the recent decades.
Many toxic substances have been incorporated into building products.
Commercial advertising is responsible for promoting the use of household cleaning substances that pollute our indoor air.
Since the energy crisis of the seventies, buildings have become so airtight that there is insufficient ventilation for renewing indoor air supply.
Poor ventilation and modern heating systems have led to a proliferation of molds and fungi.
Many furnishings contain substances that give off toxic gasses.
The increased use of plastics contributes to the degradation of indoor air.
Insecticides, Mildewcides, and Herbicides, designed to rid us of nuisances are also harmful to humans and pets.
Some naturally occurring substances such as radioactive contaminants, trace metals, house dust, and pollens can have harmful effects on humans.

Water Quality is Essential to our Health
Harmful disinfecting agents, such as chlorine, are added to municipal water supplies.
Fluoride added to municipal water supplies strengthen teeth but cause other health problems.
Heavy metals, sulfur and other harmful substances can be found in well water.
The global water shortage contributes to poor water quality.
Parasites are sometimes present even in water that has been treated.

EMF's- Electro Magnetic Fields Drain Our Energy and Make Us Sick
They are created by ordinary house wiring and all electrical devices including power lines, lights, appliances and computers. We also have waves generated for radios from transmitters, cellular phones and other wireless devices called RF waves. Microwaves and microwave appliances are known to change the cellular structure of food. Microwaved food is not recognized by the body cells in the normal way. Micro wave ovens leak microwaves in our environment. Some offending waves can be carried by house plumbing and other large metal components.

Many health risks from these hazards have been clearly documented. Bau-biologie has responsibly addressed these hazards creating protocols that are often Earth and Nature based and affordable to use. . Bau-biologie has also created means for measuring EMF hazards and for determining safe standards including distances we can safely maintain from specific sources of EMF's.

Bau-biologists are impassioned to share there guidelines with trained practitioners and the public alike. This can have a profound impact on our collective future if we pay attention.

The Good news is that Many Health Risks Can Be Completely Eliminated and Improve Your Health:

Using alternative natural cleaning products can reduce our dependency on petroleum based chemicals while eliminating dangerous toxins.
Reducing allergens and pathogens from the air we breathe can reduce the irritation that is often a precursor to more serious respiratory illness. Use air filters. Open windows.
Reducing Electro magnetic fallout can lower the instances of immune based diseases and cancer as well as many organ dysfunctions. Use EMF products; Turn off electrical appliances when not in use.

Children and the Aged are Greatly Affected
It is even more crucial to eliminate these hazards where children are present. This can have a monumental effect on their lives. Children are more susceptible to all these hazards. Children who live in environments, which have been mediated with Bau- biologie suffer fewer "childhood diseases" flus and colds. They will usually do better in school and suffer less nervousness and anxiety. It is of course even more important to implement the same strategies in schools and other places frequented by large groups of children. If we persist we can create a positive model for generations to come.

As a Feng Shui practitioner who recognizes that all environments are "living" environments, it is apparent to me that clearing a space of these environmental hazards using Bau-biologie creates a brighter, clearer, and purer quality of Chi enhancing the health of all who occupy it.
