The purpose of this book is to help you identify the different kinds of negatives in and around your home so you can make the necessary adjustments to make your home as positive as it can be. With a goal of zero negativity in the home, Creating a Haven is based on the principles and properties of Flying Star feng shui, Native American energy clearing, electromagnetic frequencies, geopathic stress, baubiologie, clutter control, indoor air pollution and psychology. Creating a Haven begins with the concept that everything is made of energy and everything is vibrating with energy. When you look at everything with “energy eyes” you can see how it affects you. There are many different kinds of things that can cause and create negative energy in your home. They can affect you energetically and emotionally. They can affect your physical health, your emotional well being, your relationships, and your finances. The first time I worked with energy I was seventeen years old. My father had a massive heart attack and his ICU doctor came into the waiting room and told my family that my dad was not going to make it. He said he expected my dad to die in the next two hours. I was devastated. Then my sister came over to me and told me that she had just read a book that said you could send energy to people through a pyramid. She got a piece of paper from a nurse and folded it to form a four-sided pyramid. My sister and her husband and I sat in a circle on the floor for those two hours and concentrated our energy into the pyramid and out to my dad. We must have looked pretty silly but we didn’t care. We were giving everything we had in us to our dad. Two hours later the doctor came back out to talk to us. He said he was very surprised, he didn’t know what happened, but it looked like my father was going to make it after all. He did. Working with energy that day saved my dad’s life and changed mine. After more than 20 years of studying metaphysics and holistic arts and sciences and applying them in everyday life I have learned that you don’t need a pyramid (or any object) to focus and send energy. You can do it all by yourself. Your thoughts are a form of energy. You can send this kind of energy by thinking a positive thought. You can also send energy by thinking a negative thought. Our thoughts affect our bodies and our environment as you will see in Chapter 1. Creating a Haven will show you how to look at your home and identify the positives and negatives. You’ll learn how to make your arrival home a more pleasant experience, How to protect your home from exterior sources of harsh energy, How to soften harsh energies inside your home, How your neighbors can create negative energy and what you can do about it, How to look at your possessions to see what kind of psychological impact they are having on you and your family, How to sort and clear clutter, How to clear negative energy and get stuck energy moving again, How to identify toxic and fatal sources of indoor air pollution, How the building materials and furnishings in your home affect your health, How to place furniture and décor items to create positive energy, The best direction for you to sleep according to your body’s polarity, How to measure EMFs from video games, computers and electronics and reduce your exposure to them, How to detect geopathic stress lines and work with them, How to work with the flying star natal chart energy pattern created in your home when it was constructed. Some of these things are visible and some are invisible. Once you know what you have in your home and how to work with it, you can take control and turn your home into what it is meant to be—your haven. Let’s get started.
