An often overlooked but important consideration in Feng Shui is soil quality. The quality of the soil has a significant impact on the principles of Feng Shui. According to Feng Shui, the soil quality determines the flow of energy or Qi of the land. If the soil is fertile and healthy, it is believed that the energy will be positive and conducive to growth and prosperity. On the other hand, if the soil is poor and unhealthy, it can lead to stagnant or negative energy, hindering growth and causing problems. It's possible to improve the soil quality through natural means such as composting, adding organic matter, and planting cover crops, which can promote positive energy and enhance your overall Feng Shui.Folklore Friday: The Tale of the Silkworm Goddess-Free Floor plan mapping: [email protected] OR https://www.learnfengshui.com/freemappingConnect on social media & contact me HERE: https://linktr.ee/learnfengshuinow-----Soil Quality- https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/soil/soil-properties/colourhttps://www.iproperty.com.my/guides/the-dirt-on-feng-shui-3047Joey Yap Feng Shui for Home Buyers Exterior, book- https://amzn.to/3BDninyClimate Change/ Qi connection: https://www.fengshui.net/in-depth/climate-change-and-the-qi-connection-9103/Cover crops: https://www.sare.org/resources/cover-crops/Folklore Friday: http://whisperingbooks.com/Show_Page/?book=Chinese_Folk_Tales&story=The_Goddess_Of_The_SilkwormSmall sprout & Silkworms- https://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2020/05/20/solar-terms-101-xiaoman-times-to-celebrate-small-things--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnfengshui/support

According to Chinese Metaphysics, there are certain days when it is not advised to practice Feng Shui or do readings. In this belief system, specific days are considered unlucky for engaging in these activities due to the influence of cosmic energies. These days are often associated with unfavorable energy patterns that may disrupt the flow of Qi, which is important for Feng Shui adjustments and accurate readings. By avoiding these days, we can be sure avoid negative energy and get effective results. -----------------
