In feng shui, defensive measures are key in protecting harmful energies from entering your home. This reader wrote to me asking about protection against people climbing over to steal their plants!
We are having some bad people climbing into our garden and backyard during midnight to cut our plants. Is there any way to stop such annoying behaviour? Our house is situated at a corner which at our left is a public road and right is a family house which that house is higher than ours. Is that the problem for such bad luck? We are thinking to put something outside our door to protect our house but the bad guys usually get into our garden through the left side (the public road at our left). So should we put something in the left instead?
One obvious solution is to have a pair of large, scary, security dogs (e.g. Alsatians, German Shepherd, etc). Both a feng shui and practical viewpoint, dogs offer great security and you’d be doing your karma great service by taking care of a pair of lovely dogs. But if keeping live pets are difficult or impractical, symbolic ones are excellent substitutes. The classic symbol of protection are the famous pair of Fu Dogs which the Chinese place at their entrances but if you don’t like the look of Fu Dogs, you can get your own English porcelain dogs too (big, scary ones - not the small little cute poodles or daschunds please!). Fu Dogs, lions and elephants are excellent symbols of protection which have a long history of significance where protection is concerned. Place a pair on your front main door - one on the left side and one on the right side. You can also place on back door if you like. If placing outside, screw them down tightly or they’ll get stolen too. An other great defensive feng shui practice is to plant cacti just outside your fence. Cactus and plants with sharp leaves act as protective plants that send little poison arrows outwards, driving bad energy away.
