Welcome to your free self-audit guide — a powerful first step in transforming your home or workplace using professional Feng Shui techniques. This guide will help you uncover the hidden sources of energetic stress in your environment known as Poison Arrows, and give you practical, effective remedies to shift your space into flow, harmony, and support.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, heavy, tired in certain rooms, or like life just keeps hitting you where it hurts — this guide is for you.

Understanding Poison Arrows (Sha Qi)

In Feng Shui, Poison Arrows are sharp, forceful lines of energy caused by corners, edges, or structures that “cut through” your space and direct harsh energy toward you. These may be obvious — like the corner of a wall pointing at your bed — or subtle, like the pathway to your home aligning in a straight shot to your front door.

Where They Come From:

• Corners of walls, pillars, or beams
• The sharp ends of furniture aimed at seating, desks, or beds
• Edges of cabinetry or countertops, especially in the kitchen
• External features like fences, streetlights, rooflines, or buildings pointed at your home
• Driveways, paths, or hallways that form long, straight “attacking” lines

What They Affect:

Poison Arrows create Sha Qi, a fast-moving, harsh energy that can:

• Disrupt sleep and cause restlessness
• Increase body tension and headaches
• Trigger stress, anxiety, and mood instability
• Cause arguments and emotional pressure in relationships
• Impact income flow, productivity, and success

They Can Physically Target Your Body

One of the most powerful and overlooked aspects of Poison Arrows is how directly they can affect the exact area of your body they’re aimed at. For example:

• A Poison Arrow pointing at your head while you sleep or work can lead to headaches or mental fog.
• One aimed at your neck or back may trigger tightness, stiffness, or pain.
• Arrows directed at the legs or feet (such as while sitting at a desk or couch) can result in aches, heaviness, or restlessness.

If you’re experiencing recurring aches or discomfort in a certain part of the body, look at what’s pointing at that exact area — it’s often no coincidence.

If a part of your life feels stuck or difficult — check your space. The problem might be pointing right at you.

Your Room-by-Room Poison Arrow Self-Audit

Use this checklist as you move through each room:

Bedroom:

• Is the corner of a wall or piece of furniture pointing at your bed?
• Is there a beam or overhead shelf directly above the bed?
• Are you in line with a doorway or sharp external feature like a roofline or fence?

Solutions:

• Use adhesive cable covers (my husband’s genius tip) to round off wall corners.
• Place a tall fake plant or decorative screen over any exposed edge. Real plants are not ideal in bedrooms as they release carbon dioxide at night and disrupt sleep.
• Shift the bed slightly if it’s directly in line with a sharp point or doorway.
• If you’re sleeping under a beam, hang a fabric or canopy underneath to symbolically lift the pressure.

Home Office / Workspace:

• Are you facing a wall corner while seated at your desk?
• Is a cabinet or bookshelf edge pointed at your chair?
• Is a long hallway or corridor pointing straight at your desk?

Solutions:

• Move your chair out of direct alignment.
• Place a plant or soft fabric over pointed corners.
• Use tall floor lamps or adhesive covers to soften built-in wall corners.
• Break up hallway energy using a rug, small table, or artwork angled to redirect flow.
• Choose furniture with rounded corners when possible.

Living Room:

• Are the edges of coffee tables or TV units pointing at the couch?
• Is there a corner behind or beside where you sit most often?
• Is a hallway or walkway aimed directly at the seating area?

Solutions:

• Round off harsh corners with cable covers.
• Use soft cushions or plants to buffer edges.
• Place tall floor lamps in corners to soften angles.
• Add a runner, artwork, or screen to slow and soften hallway energy.
• Opt for rounded-edge furniture where possible.

Kitchen:

• Is the cook facing a corner or sharp bench edge?
• Are overhead cabinets creating pressure?

Solutions:

• Place a mirror to reflect and “open” tight corners.
• Apply adhesive padding to hard edges or relocate prep zones if possible.
• Use small artificial plants that drape down over bench corners to soften edges.

Front Door + Entryway:

• Are there external arrows pointing at your front door (fence corners, trees, roofs)?
• Is your driveway or path a straight line into the door?

Solutions:

• Use plants, statues, or curved edging to break the path.
• Hang a windchime or crystal sphere near the door to disperse sharp incoming energy. If a tree is directly lined up in front of your front door, this is considered a poison arrow — place the windchime or crystal directly in line with it to deflect and disperse the Qi before it enters your space.
• Install a Bagua mirror to reflect harsh external energy — but this should be done with absolute care and only when absolutely necessary.
• Add outdoor artwork or lanterns to soften the line of pressure.

What to Look For Outside Your Property

Stand at your front entrance and observe:

• Are there angular structures like building edges or carports aimed at your home?
• Are trees, poles, or signs aligned with your door or windows?
• Does your driveway or front path shoot straight toward your door like an arrow?

Remedies:

• Use potted plants, mirrors, or chimes to deflect.
• Create gentle curves or visual barriers to slow energy.

Creating Flow with Curves and Beauty

The goal in Feng Shui isn’t to eliminate all Sha Qi — it’s to invite balance and harmony. Qi flows like water, so curves, softness, and nature help it move gracefully and beneficially.

• Use curved garden paths and walkways to calm incoming Qi
• Place plants and sculptures to guide energy gently
• Use water features only if you have a good Water Star in that compass sector — this advice applies only to water features, not plants or sculptures
• Break up long straight lines (indoors or out) with art, rugs, or furniture
• Fill your home with art, scent, music, and light that brings joy to your senses
• Keep your home tidy, clutter-free, and maintained to prevent stagnation

Ask yourself often: “Does this space uplift me?” If not, that’s your cue to shift the energy.

Energetic Shifts to Expect When Remedies Are Applied

Once you’ve softened or blocked Poison Arrows, many people report:

• Reduced tension or pain in the body
• Better sleep and less mental fog
• Emotional ease and fewer arguments
• Unexpected financial improvements
• A general sense of peace and clarity

You may not realise how much these sharp energies were draining you — until they’re gone.

Advanced Insights: Feng Shui Is About Empowerment

Poison Arrows are just one layer of Feng Shui. They are the most urgent because they create stress fast and block flow. But Feng Shui goes much deeper — into activating wealth areas, protecting relationships, and aligning your environment to your goals.

This self-audit is designed to empower you with:

• Visual awareness of your space’s energetic structure
• Practical remedies that are affordable and realistic
• Confidence to take control of your home’s energy flow

Next Steps

1. Go through each room using this guide and make your notes.
2. Apply the easiest remedies first — especially where you sleep or work.
3. Observe your energy over the next 3–7 days.
4. Revisit monthly to deepen your connection to your space.

Inner Reflection: What Was This Energy Showing You?

As you complete your self-audit and begin applying remedies, take a moment to reflect:

• Were any Poison Arrows aimed at a part of your body that has been in pain?
• Have you experienced persistent headaches, neck aches, or fatigue in a particular space?

This is your opportunity to look inward. Feng Shui mirrors what’s happening within. Often, a physical ailment is not just about posture or sleep — it’s a reflection of inner conflict.

For example: If you often experience headaches, look at what might be pointing at your head — such as a beam, shelf, or sharp corner. Then consider the astrological symbolism: the head is ruled by Aries, the sign of drive, identity, and action.

You might ask:

• Am I under too much pressure to lead or be first?
• Am I struggling with anger or frustration?
• Is there something I’m resisting starting or confronting?

This is the beauty of Feng Shui — by acknowledging the Sha Qi within your space, you gain powerful insight into what your life is asking you to work on.

Use this awareness not just to change your environment, but to heal and align your energy from the inside out.
