Feng Shui of the Psyche: Creating Harmonious Inner Architecture Through Spiritual House Cleaning

Introduction

Feng shui, literally translated as ‘wind’ – ‘water’, has traditionally concerned itself with the arrangement and optimisation of physical space to promote health, prosperity, and wellbeing. However, the fundamental principles underlying this ancient practice (energy flow, balance, clearing stagnation, and creating harmonious relationships between different elements) can be powerfully applied to our inner psychological and spiritual architecture. This article explores how classical feng shui principles can be systematically applied to what practitioners term ‘spirit release’ and ‘psychic cleaning’, offering a practical framework for maintaining psychological and spiritual hygiene (based on Spirit Release Forum, 2012).

The House Metaphor: Understanding Your Inner Feng Shui

The psyche can be conceptualised as a house, a dwelling place for consciousness. This metaphor, extensively utilised in transpersonal psychology and spirit release work, provides an elegant framework for applying feng shui principles to inner experience (Spirit Release Forum, 2012). Just as a physical house has different rooms, entrances, and occupants, so too does our psychological structure.

The Structure of the Inner House

The House itself represents the total psyche and body, encompassing conscious, subconscious, and superconscious aspects of mind. In feng shui terms, this is the property requiring assessment and optimisation.

The Highest Self (HS) or Landlord functions as the spiritual core, possessing ultimate jurisdiction over the property. This aspect maintains complete balance and perfection, analogous to the Tai Chi or central point in classical feng shui from which all other arrangements derive their harmony.

The Executive Self or Main Tenant corresponds to the conscious ego, the aspect typically experiencing itself as ‘in control’. In feng shui terms, this represents the primary occupant responsible for day to day maintenance and decision making.

Sub-personalities or Residents are the multiple ego states developed throughout life, particularly during childhood, often created to contain traumatic memory patterns. Each inhabits its own inner ‘room’. The HS acknowledges the free will of every aspect of the Self, including these sub-personalities, permitting them to act independently (Spirit Release Forum, 2012).

Attachments or Intruders comprise discarnate spirit entities, thought forms (intense emotional energies projected by living individuals), or shadow entities. These represent energetic intrusions analogous to squatters or unwelcome guests in one’s physical property.

Feng Shui Principles Applied to Psychic Architecture

Principle One: Chi Flow and Energy Circulation

In physical feng shui, stagnant chi (energy) accumulates in cluttered, blocked, or neglected spaces, leading to diminished vitality and wellbeing. Similarly, within the psyche, traumatic memories, unexpressed emotions, and dissociated aspects of self create areas of stagnant or blocked energy.

Practical application: Regular inner work involving connection to the Highest Self facilitates energy flow throughout the psychological system. The practice of ‘sending healing light’ from the HS to sub-personalities holding trauma represents a direct method of clearing energetic blockages and restoring healthy circulation (Spirit Release Forum, 2012).

Principle Two: The Commanding Position

In feng shui, the commanding position refers to optimal placement allowing clear sight lines and a sense of control over one’s environment. For the psyche, this translates to the Executive Self maintaining conscious awareness and connection to the Highest Self, ensuring clear perception and appropriate response to inner and outer circumstances.

Practical application: Establishing a strong connection between the conscious ego and the Highest Self through regular meditation or contemplative practice strengthens the ‘commanding position’ within the psyche. This prevents the Executive Self from becoming overwhelmed or displaced by sub-personalities or intrusive energies.

Principle Three: Clutter Clearing

Physical clutter in feng shui represents stagnation, confusion, and blocked opportunities. Psychological clutter manifests as unexpressed emotions, unresolved conflicts, and dissociated memory fragments.

Practical application: Soul retrieval work, wherein dissociated aspects of self are identified, healed, and reintegrated, represents profound psychological decluttering (Spirit Release Forum, 2012). Similarly, clearing thought forms (emotional projections from others that have attached to one’s auric field) constitutes essential psychic hygiene.

Principle Four: The Bagua Map and Psychological Zones

The Bagua in feng shui divides space into nine zones, each corresponding to different life areas (career, relationships, health, etc.). The psyche similarly contains distinct zones or sub-personalities, each holding specific memories, emotions, and functions.

Practical application: Systematic assessment of different sub-personalities, understanding their origins, needs, and relationships to one another, allows for targeted healing work. Just as feng shui addresses specific Bagua zones requiring attention, psychological work can focus on particular sub-personalities requiring healing or integration.

Principle Five: The Five Elements and Psychological Balance

Classical feng shui employs five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in dynamic relationship. These can be understood psychologically as different energetic qualities requiring balance.

Practical application: Shadow work, integrating rejected aspects of self, represents balancing elemental energies. The Law of Polarities dictates that opposites exist within all things (yin and yang). Rejecting one polarity creates imbalance; the rejected aspect becomes, in the words of spirit release practitioners, ‘a boomerang that will take us over’ (Spirit Release Forum, 2012). Conscious acknowledgement and integration of shadow material restores elemental balance.

Identifying and Addressing Psychic Intrusions: Advanced Feng Shui Remedies

Entry Points: When Boundaries Are Compromised

Just as physical houses require intact boundaries (walls, doors, windows) to prevent unwanted intrusion, the psyche requires energetic integrity. Several circumstances create vulnerabilities:

Vacating the premises: When living in the physical body becomes overwhelming, individuals may partially dissociate, leaving ‘gaps’ in their energetic structure. These vacancies attract wandering entities seeking embodiment.

Co-dependency patterns: Sub-personalities may actively invite attachments, creating symbiotic relationships that serve the sub-personality’s needs whilst compromising overall wellbeing (Spirit Release Forum, 2012).

Altered states: Anaesthetics, drugs, or alcohol can temporarily weaken executive control, creating opportunities for intrusion.

Shadow infiltration: Dark force entities (DFEs) deliberately target sub-personalities holding dynamics of fear, control, and ego inflation, establishing parasitic relationships through deception and coercion.

The Detection Protocol: The Landlord’s Right

In feng shui practice, thorough assessment precedes remediation. Similarly, accurate detection of psychic intrusions requires systematic investigation.

The Highest Self possesses absolute right to know of any intruder within its domain. Under cosmic law, any challenged spirit must reveal itself (the Law of Challenge). This principle provides the foundation for detection work (Spirit Release Forum, 2012).

Practical protocol:

Establish deep relaxation and connection to the Highest Self
Utilise ideo-motor signalling (unconscious finger movements) for yes/no responses, bypassing rational mind constraints
Issue the challenge: “I am asking in the name of the Father/Mother God and in accordance with the wishes of your HS to inform me using a finger signal whether there are any intruding spirits or entities linked into the non-physical aspects of your psyche”
Repeat the challenge three times to ensure any disguise or ‘light mask’ is dropped
If presence is confirmed, ascertain number and nature of attachments

The Clearing Process: Restoring Harmonious Occupancy

Effective clearing requires understanding the relationship between sub-personalities and attachments. Simply ejecting an entity without addressing the underlying vulnerability ensures recurrence.

The Ejection Rule: An intruding spirit must leave if all elements within the soul’s home (all sub-personalities and the executive self) agree to release it (Spirit Release Forum, 2012).

The Core Principle: If a sub-personality wishes the attachment to remain, the attachment will persist or return. Therefore, healing the sub-personality becomes essential.

Practical clearing protocol:

Connect to the attachment through conscious awareness
Request the entity connect to its own inner light and Highest Self
Facilitate the entity’s movement into the light realm
Identify and heal the sub-personality that permitted or invited the attachment
Send healing light from the Highest Self to seal the space previously occupied by the entity
Remove any ‘energy markers, tabs, anchors, or devices’ left by the entity as potential re-entry points

Working with Thought Forms: Clearing External Energetic Clutter

Thought forms represent intense emotional energies projected by living individuals, either deliberately or unconsciously. These attach to the outer auric field, functioning as psychic clutter in feng shui terms.

Practical clearing protocol:

Identify thought forms through energetic scanning or ideo-motor signalling
Send the thought form into the light for transmutation
Return the transmuted energy to the originator as healing energy
Ensure complete release by the recipient
Retrieve any of the client’s own thought forms that may be controlling others

Advanced Work: Shadow Entities and Past Life Patterns

Shadow Entities: The Deep Structural Problems

Whilst some attachments represent simple cases of confused spirits requiring guidance to the light, shadow entities (dark force entities or DFEs) constitute more complex challenges. These beings have become trapped within their own shadow aspects, rejecting their connection to source energy and instead feeding parasitically on incarnate individuals (Spirit Release Forum, 2012).

Characteristics of shadow attachment:

Operates through fear, control, and ego inflation
Targets vulnerable sub-personalities
Establishes perceived ‘contracts’ claimed to be inviolable
Often works in hierarchical groups
Resists conventional clearing methods

Advanced clearing protocol:

Connect to the sub-personality hosting the shadow entity
Send healing light from the Highest Self to the sub-personality’s core, dissolving outer defensive structures to reveal the frightened aspect within
Link this healed aspect to the Highest Self
Address the shadow entity with compassion, offering connection to its own inner light and Highest Self
Invoke Archangel Michael or other appropriate spiritual allies for assistance
Establish clear intention: all contracts made with shadow forces are null and void, as they violate cosmic law regarding free will
Remove all energy markers, tabs, anchors, and devices
Seal and protect the psychic space

The most critical understanding is that shadow entities possess no genuine power beyond what individuals grant them through belief and fear. The Highest Self’s jurisdiction overrides all perceived contracts or agreements (Spirit Release Forum, 2012).

Past Life Patterns: Addressing Historical Structural Damage

In feng shui terms, past life issues represent historical damage or flawed original construction requiring remediation. These patterns often manifest kinaesthetically (choking sensations related to past drowning or hanging, chest pain related to past injury, etc.).

Practical protocol:

Connect to the Highest Self and invoke appropriate guides (Archangel Raphael as Lord of Karma, Pegasus for transformation)
Allow spontaneous emergence of past life material or deliberately seek it through guided visualisation
Witness the past life scenario without necessarily re-experiencing trauma
Facilitate healing through connection to the Highest Self
Retrieve any soul fragments trapped in that time period
Send healing to any somatic manifestations in the present body
Release all energetic cords connecting present consciousness to past trauma

Preventative Feng Shui: Maintaining Psychic Hygiene

Daily Practices for Energetic Maintenance

Just as physical spaces require regular cleaning and maintenance, psychological and spiritual health demands consistent attention.

Morning practice:

Upon waking, establish connection to the Highest Self
Request protection for the day ahead
Set intention for clear boundaries and conscious awareness
Visualise golden light filling your entire energetic field

Evening practice:

Review the day’s interactions, noting any energetic disturbances
Clear any thought forms or external energies absorbed during the day
Send healing light to any sub-personalities activated by daily events
Re-establish strong connection to the Highest Self before sleep

The Protection Prayer: Regular Structural Maintenance

Based on the work of Caroline Burton and Dr Tom Zinser, the following daily prayer provides comprehensive psychic maintenance:

“I understand that no agreement, deal, or contract that I entered into with destructive forces in this lifetime or in the past can bind me, as such agreements contradict the fundamental law of free will. I am therefore free to choose again and can be released from any bargains I made.

I request my Highest Self to assist me to terminate now, with immediate effect, all deals, contracts, and agreements I have made at any time with earthbound spirits, shadow entities, or destructive forces. They are terminated now.

Please remove any energy markers, tabs, anchors, or devices placed in my energy field for access or any other purpose except those serving my highest interests. They are removed now.

Please remove any other energy inside me or around me that does not serve my highest interests. It is removed now.

Please protect me and prevent my energy field from being invaded by any source not acting in my highest interests. I am protected now.

Please protect my home and environment from any negative activities whatsoever. They are protected now.

Please give me healing so that I may be restored to my highest nature. Please remove any past life energy holding me back from experiencing my fullest potential. Please give me advice and guidance when needed for my evolution and protection. Please enable me to be of service to those acting in the highest interests of humanity and the Earth.

I give my grateful thanks.” (Spirit Release Forum, 2012)

Environmental Considerations: The Outer Reflects the Inner

Traditional feng shui recognises that physical environment and internal state exist in reciprocal relationship. Maintaining harmonious outer space supports harmonious inner space, and vice versa.

Practical recommendations:

Keep physical living space clean, organised, and clutter-free
Ensure good air quality and natural light where possible
Use salt lamps or burning sage for energetic clearing of physical space
Place protective symbols or objects at entry points
Maintain healthy boundaries with others, avoiding energetic enmeshment
Limit exposure to drugs, alcohol, and other substances that weaken energetic integrity
Cultivate relationships with individuals who respect your boundaries and support your wellbeing

Professional Support: When to Consult a Specialist

Whilst many practices described here can be undertaken independently, certain situations require professional support. Consider consulting a qualified spirit release practitioner or transpersonal therapist when:

Distressing symptoms persist despite self-help efforts
Functionality becomes significantly impaired
Suicidal ideation emerges
Experiences suggest possible psychotic processes
Shadow entities appear resistant to clearing
Past life material proves overwhelming
Support is needed to rebuild after clearing work

Professional practitioners undergo extensive training in both intuitive and interactive methods, supervision, and ethical practice (Spirit Release Forum, 2012). They can provide safe, structured support for complex cases whilst maintaining appropriate boundaries and offering follow-up care.

Conclusion: Integration and Wholeness

The ultimate goal of applying feng shui principles to psychological and spiritual work is integration and wholeness. Just as a well-designed physical space promotes health and flourishing, a well-maintained psyche (with clear boundaries, good energy flow, balanced elements, and harmonious relationships between different aspects) supports optimal functioning and spiritual development.

The house metaphor reminds us that we are not single, monolithic entities but complex systems containing multiple aspects, all requiring acknowledgement, healing, and integration. The Highest Self provides the stable centre, the ‘Tai Chi’ point from which all else derives its proper relationship and function.

By regularly clearing intrusive energies, healing wounded sub-personalities, releasing outdated patterns, and maintaining strong connection to our spiritual core, we create the conditions for psychological health and spiritual growth. This inner feng shui work then naturally manifests in our outer experience, improving relationships, circumstances, and overall quality of life.

As the ancient feng shui principle states: when you change the resonance within, the outer patterns must change accordingly. The healing of inner space inevitably transforms outer reality, creating a life of greater harmony, authenticity, and purpose.
