Feng Shui and EMF Pollution
by Stephanie Roberts & Taraka Serrano
As a feng shui practitioner and
author, I counsel my clients and readers to find auspicious ways
to arrange the furniture in their homes, and help them to avoid
souces of "sha chi" (negative energy) such as is created by overhead
beams and sharp corners. The ancient masters recognized that exposure
to sha chi increases stress, undermines good health and equanimity,
and leaves us more susceptible to disease and fatigue. While the
immediate impact may be subtle, over the long term sha chi is a
powerful enemy to good health and vitality.
Today, one of the most prevalent
and potentially dangerous forms of sha chi is something that ancient
feng shui masters never encountered: the harmful EMF (electromagnetic
frequency) pollution generated by electrical appliances and wiring
in our homes and offices. We may position our desks for optimal
feng shui, then spend many hours a day exposed to EMF radiation
from our computers, fluorescent lights, and air-conditioning units,
and then wonder why we suffer from headaches and fatigue by the
end of the day. And then there are the mobile EMFs to which we are
exposed to for more hours every day from our cell phones, and which
surrounds us in our cars.
The levels of microwave and EMF
emitted from cordless phones and cell phones are millions of times
above the levels of corresponding, naturally occurring background
EMFs. Furthermore, unlike natural EMF, which has random properties,
these modern devices emit continual bursts of microwave and EMF
pulses. These specific forms of EMFs are called "non-ionizing radiation."
In the past, it was thought that non-ionizing radiation was essentially
harmless, but recent epidemiological studies have generated a substantial
body of evidence linking EMF exposure to impaired brain function
and behavioral disorders -- symptoms like headaches and fatigue,
an increased risk of cancer, and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's
and Parkinson's.
Scientists now recognize that strong,
multidirectional electromagnetic fields disrupt normal cell polarity
and blood functions. The natural electromagnetic pulses from the
brain that regulate our bodily systems and manage health and well-being
are disrupted by the EMFs from man-made devices. Recent studies
indicate that cell
phone radiation, in particular, tremendously impairs membranes
of the circulatory and nervous systems that ensure the normal chemical
setting in the brain and repel toxins - and that children who use
cell phones are especially at risk. Furthermore, EMF exposure can
lead to defective cell metabolism, which over time can lead to a
multitude of health problems. If you have ever noticed feeling drained
and exhausted after a long session in front of your computer, or
have had a sensation of heat or buzzing in your ear after using
your cell phone, you are experiencing this for yourself.
The basic form and elements in your
living or working space may be feng shui-correct, but unless the
EMF issue is addressed, you are not in the clear. And if you use
a cell phone - as most people do - you are carrying a powerful source
of sha chi with you wherever you go, and holding it close to your
brain every time you use it.
We believe that addressing the dangers
of EMF pollution - especially from cell phones - is critical to
anyone interested in optimal health and wellbeing, and that it is
an essential component of the modern practice of feng shui. Fortunately,
new technologies are emerging that are specifically designed to
neutralize and harmonize harmful electro-magnetic frequencies in
homes and workspaces. One small "chip" the size of a coin can dramatically
reduce the harmful effects of cell phone use, for example.
We hope you will include EMF protection
as part of your overall feng shui strategy for success and well-being,
and encourage you to learn more about the dangers of - and solutions
to - EMF pollution.
