What is Feng Shui?

Feng shui is, quite simply, the gentle manipulation of the environment around us to create balance and harmony.

Traditional Feng Shui, as it is known today, describes an ancient Chinese system perfected over 5,000 years.

This was practised and refined through the centuries and today is a complex art, which nevertheless, has its roots in science. Practitioners study the energy patterns in the electromagnetic spectrum, and the ways this energy interacts with the planet and the individuals living on it.

They take into account time and space through the use of compass bearings and the solar cycle. In this sense, Feng Shui is not 'eastern' or even 'mystical'. It is based on the laws of nature. Indeed, many cultures have their own systems of Feng Shui. The more we live in harmony with the natural cycles of the universe, the more our lives will become harmonious and balanced.

Therefore, Feng Shui is a system that can be used anywhere in the world, at any time, and does not rely on belief or even on positive thinking - it works because it is a systematic way of analysing and therefore influencing the energy in our environment.

How Does Feng Shui work?

A Feng Shui consultant manipulates energy or 'chi' to create balance in an environment.
Most buildings are not built in perfect natural landscapes. The natural or constructed features surrounding a building will affect it - often negatively. Where it is not possible to alter the landscape, the interior of a building can be worked with. This is basically what Feng Shui is.

Calculations are used to create an 'energy chart' for a building and this is read in conjunction with the client's birth chart. Energy goes through five phases of transformation and at any one time there will be various energies in different phases in a building or a person's life.

A consultant will analyse the interaction of energy and where it clashes or is blocked or stagnant, and balance it with elemental cures, see Feng Shui Cures.
The result is a space which feels clear and vibrant.

However, more can be done. Feng Shui is translated as 'wind and water', and when air and water interact, energy is strengthened. This allows us to not only balance chi, but also to energise specific areas of a building to enhance corresponding areas in a person's life. Hence a client can work with a consultant on aspects of life such as relationships, prosperity or health at any given time.

Will Feng Shui change my life?

Feng shui does not create miraculous wealth or true love from nothing!

A Feng Shui consultation will empower you to take control of your life by harmonising your own chemistry with that of your environment, in a unique reading that only applies to you.
You will begin to flow through life so that you can achieve your potential, make the most of the positive times and face difficulties with understanding and acceptance. You will be helped to influence your own luck - be it wealth, good health, happy relationships or spiritual development.

Sometimes the results are instantaneous, or it may take a few months for you to start noticing the changes. But the benefit to every aspect of your life is profound and permanent. Please see testimonials
