I have recently started up a business working from a bedroom of my home, which is a Victorian cottage in Berkshire, England. I have lived in the house for 10 years and I have been happy here. Things have not been great financially since I started my new company, so I have been trying to apply some Feng Shui principles to my home in order to hopefully improve wealth, success and luck in my career. I have read in Sarah Shurety's book that sloping ceilings are a bad thing. Most of the bedrooms in my house have a sloping ceiling on one side of the room, where the ceiling meets the out side wall. The wall is still sufficiently high enough to walk up to it without any obstruction. Is there any cure for sloping ceilings?
Regards
Kate

Dear Kate,

If your business is experiencing financial difficulties and is situated in an office rather than your home, the Feng Shui of the home will typically have a reduced impact on the office. In such cases, it is recommended to conduct an office audit. Regarding the sloping ceiling:

1. The higher the slope, the less auspicious it is considered to be.

2. One option for those sleeping under a sloping roof is to use a poster bed, although this may be more expensive. Alternatively, cloth material can be placed to act as a barrier against the sloping ceiling. In addition to the above, the principle of 'If you do not see it, it no longer becomes a cure' applies. By installing a false ceiling to cover the sloping ceiling, the threat posed by the slope is eliminated. While using a false ceiling may not be practical for you, this example illustrates how the concept can be applied.

3. When facing financial challenges, it may not necessarily be due to the Feng Shui of the house, but rather the Feng Shui of the office or shop.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
