The Homeless & Feng Shui

POSTED BY Cathi Hargaden October 26, 2017 IN Podcast | 2 Comments

This video was taken in one of the inner cities in U.K. but the scene is quite a common spectacle in many cities across U.S.A. and U.K.  In U.K. alone there are 850.000 properties empty – yes can you believe that?  No one lives in them some in areas quite attractive some of those houses owned by the government-the council of that area.

I myself have worked in housing throughout the U.K. as well as being a property developer too!  The one good feature about the hot property train in the U.K. is that private developers have been prepared to renovate properties that were just being wasted and uninhabitable.  That is, private funding has breathed the Dragon Energy into these places making them more attractive for people to want to own or rent them.

However, streets and streets of houses were left empty for years a particular example of this was the Welsh Streets in south Liverpool where Ringo Starr of the Beatles grew up.  I actually visited a client there once who was the last resident on the street and the one thing that stood out was she continued to have her hanging basket of flowers outside her home.

Yes, even when all around you is delapidated and fading if you can reach in to your own energy well and bring this out then it shifts everything else you see.  But what happens when you have nowhere to live?  There is no availability?  There are thousands of families alone in London living out of hotels and bed and breakfast dwellings.

Only 8 of the families affected by the Grenfell Disaster have been rehoused everyone else is in temporary accommodation.  How can you Feng Shui your environment when you have nowhere else to go, live or be part of?

When thousands of people have been deemed homeless because suddenly huge superpowers want to bomb your residence for no other reason because they can then where do you go and what do you do?  One day you are a nurse working in a hospital the next day you are climbing a mountain with nothing but the clothes on your back!

What happens as a result if this affects peoples’ self worth, their mental health, their whole value in life.  What other people take for granted these people are wondering which is the best place to stay safe, warm and sane.

The solution to homelessness is quite simple really for the U.K. – one of the richest countries in the world cannot provide houses for people to buy or rent?  Here is my list of points why there is insufficient housing and some of it has a lot to do with the Feng Shui of the Country itself:

  1. This country has so much land in which it could spread out into but what has happened is the government has ensured that everybody has been herded into small areas where people are living on top of each other –  this is all about social control.  Having lived all over this country when I visited places like Hampshire, Somerset, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire there were plenty of spaces there for people to live – yes employment is the big driver but never before have we been able to live in place which no longer require us to be at the place of work.
  2. In the areas mentioned above many people live there surrounded with their fancy gates and their big walls for keeping people out – but all the pushing of people into small spaces in the U.K. has now created social unrest and is not a recipe for a society that calls itself a democracy.
  3. The issues regarding lack of housing has led to huge mental health problems, brick walls for a future for many have caused an upsurge and epidemic in drug related crimes and behaviour.
  4. I come from an inner city area and I had to leave the city there were no opportunities and nothing in my vision could see any future there- this is why I am a proponent of Feng Shui because I know that environments determine the kind of aspirations or possibilities you could imagine for yourself.
  5. It is a reason why people invest in private education alone because the environments in which the children are educated are immediately uplifting and elevating-there is nothing more soulless than being surrounded by concrete all day.

    My name is Alexandra. I am a feng shui practitioner in Santa Barbara, CA USA. I am also a realtor and a retired lecturer at the local university. And, I am homeless. I have lived and worked here for 45 years, raised my family and thought I would grow old and die here. But, the cost of property has risen to such a point that I cannot afford housing anymore. I live in my car, and have been given permission by the city to park it in a church yard. I am one of dozens of hard-working citizens who cannot afford even a small room here. I awake each morning and watch other women exit their cars, dress in their work garb (nurses, bank clerks, teachers..etc.) and head off to work. It is wretched. The reason? “Flipping” – people buy, fix up and sell property for huge profits. Then, the government charges huge taxes, which the property owners pass on to renters. The cost of all this trickling down to renters is that they eventually cannot afford housing at all. IT is horrid, and, as a Rabbit, I was supposed to have a hell-of-a year. Not.

      Hi Alexandra – this is aweful and it is common all over the world where I have travelled. In London health professional can no longer work there because they cant afford to live there. There are mobs of people going around buying up properties in developed areas and then they leave them standing – empty! I am amazed by some of the property taxes one has to pay in the U.S. and Canada. We also hae it here and even when buying a house there are additional taxes to pay. It is partly because the investment community has made property an asset who misbelieved people into thinking their home is an asset when really the bank owns it most of the time anyway.

      I wish I had seen your comment earlier as I was in Santa Barbara in April of this year staying in Goleta. I went to UCSB many years ago and the realisation of the property market there being out of grasp of most people is troubling indeed. I saw your website – I thought I recognised you because I did speak to a lady this year who was showing me around some properties but not sure if it was you. they were in Montecito – the prices there are ridiculous.

      I hope by the time you get this note your circumstances have changed for the better in this year of the Pig. Rabbits get on with the Pigs so lets hope the EArth Pig luck has flowed your way this year. If I get to Santa Barbara next year which I am hoping to I will contact your for sure. Take care, all the best. Cathi
