Feng Shui
|
Feng Shui literally translated means wind & water and is part of an ancient Chinese philosophy of nature.
It is a form of geomancy (divination by geographic features) concerned with understanding the relationships between nature and ourselves in order to live in harmony with our environment. |
Feng Shui Practice
Our surroundings often mirror how we are feeling. Some people need an aesthetic and ultra-clean environment to feel good and to think clearly. Others feel more comfortable surrounded by objects, photos, books etc.
The analysis of this outer mirror with Feng Shui principles leads to recognition of any inner disharmony.
Correcting the 'outside' brings awareness to the 'inside' and the person and their environment are harmonised. The integration of our outside world and internal environment is the cornerstone of most traditional philosophies and it is by using these concepts that Feng Shui becomes a powerful tool of empowerment.
My work with Feng Shui is concerned with diagnosing by using the 5 elements in order to balance this inner and outer ambience.
Individual
To promote health & happiness
To increase blessings (luck)
Business
To provide a work environment conducive to the well-being of personnel
To promote productivity, motivation and creativity
To resolve conflict

Feng Shui Principles
Energy is flowing around us all the time influencing and changing our environment constantly. Changes occur by themselves, but we can influence these changes by being open to possibilities. Feng Shui is the art of realising these possiblities in order to be effective in the process of creating our future and destiny. The manner in which we design our living space reflects our inner thoughts and aspirations and by understanding the subtle currents of energy that flow through our body and through everything in the universe we can arrange our environment to further our goals.
For a Feng Shui practitioner the positioning of a house and the placement of things in the house are all effective in choreographing the energy of that environment. This ancient art of designing home or work-place optimises the tools available and promotes success in different areas of life.
Originating in China over 4000 years ago Feng Shui is based on natural rules and laws also found in traditional healing systems such as acupuncture and shiatsu as well as martial arts like Tai Chi and Aikido. These principles are utilised to optimise success and harmony, be it in work, relationships or health.
In a Feng Shui assessment many aspects are taken into consideration ranging from the shape and siting of a building to the positioning of objects and people in the building.
By specific methods stumbling blocks and problems are made conscious and the dynamics corrected by special Chinese compass readings and/or intuitive Feng Shui.
Most important in the manipulation of the environmental dynamics are the expectations and dreams of the householder or corporation themselves. The images created in our consciousness play a powerful role in defining our experience of an environment and thus how we behave in it. By assessing how a person has designed their living or working space there is a possibility to bring to light the main problems that may arise in that space.
QI (energy)
Qi is the subtle flow of electromagnetic energy which links all things in the universe. It flows in and out of buildings like air moving around the earth or the flow and ebb of the tide.
The Chinese characters Feng Shui literally mean wind and water and are used by the Chinese to reflect the way Qi moves.

Ba Gua
The 8 directions of the compass are used to differentiate the distinctive kinds of Qi found in a room.
This creates what is called the Ba Gua.
