The Feng Shui Anatomy of a Roof

From a Feng Shui perspective the roof of a home is considered to represent the head, neck, shoulder and spine. Avoid headaches, neck and shoulder pain by making sure that your roof is in perfect condition. When thinking about the structure of the roof remember to consider the roof trusses which represent the vertebrae and skull while the plywood sheeting and protective membrane represent the connective tissue protecting the vertebrae.  The shingles represent the outer protection of the skin and hair.

The most expensive and hardest challenge with a roof is keeping them watertight.  A leaky roof may be showing you that you may be holding onto subconscious emotions. Follow the source of the leak and you may find the root cause of your emotional discontent is in correlation to the associated gua. For instance a leaky roof that falls over the Love, Marriage & Relationship gua may be drawing attention to the emotional healing needed between you and a friend, lover, partner and or family member.

A leak roof over the Wealth and Prosperity gua could be showing you that it is time to heal your emotions associated with feeling worthy. It may be time to own your personal value. You are here therefore you are worthy.

A roof that shingles are blown off may be a sign that it is time to remove old belief systems that no-longer serve your highest good.

Damage from fallen trees may be showing you that it’s time to gain a new perspective and see things differently.

Hail damage reveals fears that are ready to be released and ice damning shows that there are deep subconscious fears and beliefs blocking your intuitive knowingness.

Do not neglect taking regular care of your roof as it is the protective barrier between you and the external environment. A vulnerable roof will make you vulnerable. Make sure that all vents, peaks and valleys are properly sealed and that shingles are replaced long before they begin to curl and deteriorate in the elements.

The roof creates a thin barrier between heaven and earth make sure that the connection between the two is well attuned so that all your universal messages are clear and concise.

May you remain sheltered from the elements.
