He's a very active boy and his dad's already signed him up for some rugby and possibly some football.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBefore all that can start to happen though, Mosheshe is determined to make the nursery the best possible environment for her baby.\u003cbr/\u003eMosheshe believes preparations by a Feng Shui consultant will ensure the baby is happy and calm.\u003cbr/\u003eConsultant, Sylvia Bennett says she has studied with a Feng Shui master and she's been practicing for about fifteen years.\u003cbr/\u003eNow she specialises in helping young mums adapt an ancient Chinese tradition to fit styles of modern living and she's keen on the external environment of where the baby will be as well as it's surrounding inside the home.\u003cbr/\u003eCentral to the consultation is the compass called a Lo Pan.\u003cbr/\u003eIt has bands of concentric rings arranged around the magnetic needle.\u003cbr/\u003eNot all of them relate to the nursery, according to Bennett they're used for a wide range of environments, even the best position in graveyards.\u003cbr/\u003eShe says the practice revolves around wind and water, because that literally governs where people would settle on the land.\u003cbr/\u003eIt would also determine where crops would grow and animals and familes could thrive.\u003cbr/\u003eIt works on the principal of holding on to the vital energy for life called the Chi.\u003cbr/\u003eFeng Shui is about stopping the good Chi energy being dissipated by the wind. \u003cbr/\u003eBennett says in ancient societies wealth added up to whether a family had enough food to eat.\u003cbr/\u003eShe insists that while the practice is ancient, it is still relevant to families today.\u003cbr/\u003eMosheshe wanted the cot in the left corner of the room, but Bennett explains it's not good to have anyone's feet, particularly an infants, in line with the door. \u003cbr/\u003eNot having the radiator behind the baby is easier to understand.\u003cbr/\u003e\"What we've decided to do is the bed is going on the opposite side of the room with the baby's head facing his favourable direction north, north west and he's sleeping in the west, south west of the room, so he's going to be hopefully very comfortable there,\" says Bennett. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Where he's lying he'll be able to look at the window very easily and he'll also be able to see the door very easily, he lying on his side and watching his mummy coming in.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIn Feng Shui it is important to create balanced environments which give us a sense of ease and well being.\u003cbr/\u003eOne of Bennett's biggest concerns is the child's external environment.\u003cbr/\u003eWhether it is surrounded by wifi signals, communication masts and signals from phones and electrical appliances.\u003cbr/\u003eShe does this with the aid of a radio frequency meter.\u003cbr/\u003eAs soon as she switches it on it crackles and buzzes.\u003cbr/\u003eBennett stalks each corner of the room.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen the green dots are replaced with red ones she eliminates the area as a suitable place for the cot.\u003cbr/\u003eThere is no scientific process to prove that Feng Shui is effective, but Mosheshe argues it's important to be open minded.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen it come to the fallout of modern living she's absolutely determined to shield her little boy.\u003cbr/\u003eShe admits she's naturally inclined to panic.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Mosheshe points out there are real causes for concern.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I do worry about technology and the effect of too much technology, for example, in the nursery, too much wifi interference and I will try to look into shielding the baby as much as possible because I don't think enough research has gone into the effects of technology around newborn babies.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHer concerns are shared by others.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's led to the development of a range of new products from metallised paint to thin fabric voile which contains tiny metallic filaments.\u003cbr/\u003eShe claims these help to reflect signals which can cause headaches and irritation.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen Bennett wraps the fabric around the radio frequency acoustic field meter it lowers the volume of the response to the pulsing signals.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Mosheshe isn't quite ready to let go of the floral drapes.\u003cbr/\u003ewacky\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more
