Cracking the Code of “Qiang Sha”: Ways to Improve Feng Shui in American Homes

In feng shui theory, roads are regarded as the key channel for chi to enter a house, and their layout has a direct impact on the prosperity of a house’s chi. Roads that are farther away from the house have a relatively minor impact, but under certain layouts, they can still form an unfavorable feng shui pattern known as “Qiang-brakes”.

When the door or window of the house is facing the clothesline, narrow alleys, or you can see a straight road or corridor directly to the house, as a long gun straight to the face, feng shui will be called this situation, “Qiang Fury”. The folk saying “a straight road, a gun” means that a straight road is like a gun, ruthless and easy to bring danger.

The window is facing the “gun” situation, although the window is also a channel for the circulation of air, but compared to the main door, its impact is a little weaker.

The choice of screen can be based on the overall style of the house and personal preference, but make sure that it can effectively block the bad energy.

If there is any doubt, it is best to take some remedial measures just in case.
