You know the feeling you get when you enter an unfamiliar property. You either like the energy, or something does not feel quite right. You may be viewing a property for the first time, considering buying it or renting it. That initial feeling, especially if you feel uneasy in any way, should never be ignored. It is an alarm bell alerting you to what your eyes cannot see. If you are unsure, visit the property again. If the same feeling recurs, you will know that the property may not be the best choice for you.
Issues arise when, for instance, a couple visits a property, and each partner responds differently due to varying levels of sensitivity. If one person feels uneasy, the other should not dismiss that warning sign, regardless of their own reaction. I do not wish to generalise, but women often seem more attuned in this respect. Time and again, I have seen men ignore or dismiss their partners’ feelings, sometimes with regrettable consequences.
There are also instances when the opposite occurs. You visit a property, and everything appears wonderful. The atmosphere is calm, perhaps a little too calm. You become excited and cannot wait to receive the keys, only to discover serious problems after buying the property or moving in. We were spared this experience when we were looking for a house. My wife and I viewed a property that appeared charming and beautiful. We felt euphoric and went home convinced it was the property we had been seeking. On the second viewing, however, everything looked different. The euphoria had vanished, and the house seemed tired, old, and even unsettling.
I later spoke with an older spiritualist friend who suggested that there might have been an energy in the house that made it appear especially attractive at first, as though it were drawing us in. In hindsight, the owners’ behaviour was distinctly odd. We quickly changed our minds and decided not to proceed with the purchase. One of the owners called me and launched into a rant, which only reinforced my sense that something was seriously wrong.
