Next to a 1733 Graveyard

[Linda]

My house is next to a 1733 graveyard. My house and the graveyard are surrounded by old stone walls. My property has many old oak and maple trees and lots of wildlife, as I feed the squirrels and birds. This graveyard was one of the reasons why we liked the house. There is an apple orchard next to the graveyard that stretches to the horizon. I have read that living next to a graveyard is not good. What can I do to help this situation? Everyone who visits us comments on the serenity felt here.
Thank you.

Dear Linda,
I am glad you mentioned that the graveyard is (if I am not mistaken a 1733 graveyard).
There are priorities in Feng Shui. Very old graveyards are in my opinion, not a `threat' as the Qi has been defused after so many years. In a few earlier forum messages, I mentioned that the longer the gravesite, the lesser or minimal `threat' of such gravesites
For example, in my country, there were lots of cases where gravesites were dug up and new public housing were built on top of them. After a while, the land is neutralised by Yang activity over it.
Particularly, if the deaths are natural death e.g. old age etc...
A `secret' weapon of Feng Shui are trees and plants. The reason is because, it invariably attracts birds.
Overall, this (plants = Yin) and birds (Yang) creates a balance of Yin and Yang.
It is my opinion, that you can safely continue to live happily in your home without due regards to Feng Shui:)
By the way, the description of your home sounds lovely:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Cecil,
Thank you for your response. I have read so many bad things about graveyards and feng shui. You have made me feel good about a house and setting that my husband and I feel so wonderful in. It truly is beautiful, I had a hard time believing that it could be so terrible. Thank you, again.
