What is Feng Shui?
The words “Feng Shui” directly translate to “wind and water”. As a classical science, Feng Shui utilizes various laws of spatial arrangement originating from Ancient China, to maximize luck and reduce misfortune for the occupants of a space. This is accomplished by making specific changes to the arrangement of a landscape, a house, a business, or even an individual room.
In Feng Shui, the house or apartment you occupy is considered to be like a second body around your current physical body. The form of the space as well as its directional orientation and astrological chart all contribute to the ability of that space to produce positive or negative results in your life. There are many “schools” or systems of Feng Shui which utilize different techniques of manipulating the ch’i or life energy of a space (also called prana in the Sanskrit language).
Classical Feng Shui practitioners analyze the floorplan of a given space through the lens of different systems of Feng Shui layered on top of one another. This allows them to get a comprehensive analysis of a building and most importantly, suggest certain changes to be made to help clients improve the cultivation of positive ch’i in their space.
What a Feng Shui Audit Can Reveal
A Feng Shui audit serves to give you a comprehensive top-to-bottom analysis of the energy of a home or business from the perspective of different schools of Feng Shui, and what results that energy is likely to produce for the occupants. It shows you the most auspicious areas (referred to as “palaces”) in your house and how you can take advantage of them to get the best results out of life, as well as the worst areas which may need to be remedied or avoided to minimize any negative results. It can indicate why you might be facing a certain problem at this point in time and give you strategies for mitigating that problem. Proactive techniques can be implemented to increase the likelihood of desired outcomes taking place, such as opening up dating opportunities or drawing more income to a business.
We take many factors into account, to provide you with the most useful information. When we analyze your home or business, we will be utilizing different systems of Feng Shui concurrently as well as the astrological charts of the occupants, as this is also a contributing factor.
Here are just a few of the many factors we will be looking into:
- Land and building formations including the shape of the plot, surrounding buildings, streets, trees, bodies of water and landscape features
- Predominance of a “green dragon” or “white tiger” formation which will have a strong effect on the psychological security or insecurity of the occupants
- The facing direction of the main entrance and how this contributes to the overall energy of the building as the main ch’i mouth of the space
- Eight Mansions, a system of Feng Shui which maps the eight “trigrams” representing different energies onto a floor plan and categorizes houses into “east groups” and “west groups” which will be auspicious or inauspicious for different people
- Flying Star, a powerful system which uses the construction date of a house to map the nine stars of the big dipper plus the pole star onto the floor plan creating a special kind of birth chart for the house
- Current period and yearly flying stars which change over time showing what specific results you’re likely to get during the present time
- Current San Sha, Tai Sui and Sui Po placements, negative points in your house which need to be remedied or avoided to avoid negative results
We will explain what all of this means for you, and much more, in your consultation. The wealth of information you can gain from a Feng Shui analysis of your home or business can be incredibly useful.
What Makes Us Different
In our consultations, we strive to provide you with meaningful information and strategies which, when implemented, should have some objective outcome in your life. Unlike many new age practitioners, we will not give you meaningless “woo woo” information that won’t make any real difference in your life. Although it’s important to remember that you’ll get out of these traditions what you’re willing to put into them, we at least want to set you up for the best possible chance of success. That’s why we study classical methods and experiment in our own environments with everything we learn, so we can spare you from what doesn’t work, and share with you what does.
It’s important for us to uphold the integrity of this science. So you can rest assured that we will put a lot of care into your consultation. We want everyone to be able to benefit from our services. Your Feng Shui analysis will be broken down in a way that you can understand.
WE’LL BE UTILIZING THREE METHODS OF FENG SHUI CONCURRENTLY
- Land and Building Formations – the most primordial school of Feng Shui, taking into account the physical characteristics of the land and surroundings, as well as the shape of the building itself.
- Eight Mansion – uses the eight “trigrams” representing different positive and negative energies and categorizes houses into “east groups” and “west groups”.
- Flying Star – maps the stars of the big dipper onto the floor plan of the house giving you a clear picture of the good and bad energies manifesting in different areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I benefit from Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is essentially a means of understanding what results are likely to take place as a result of your occupation of a particular space. It is very similar to astrology in the sense that a Feng Shui analysis can predict certain outcomes taking place at certain times, and when we look at your astrological birth chart it is often the case that it will match up with the Feng Shui of your current dwelling.
As practitioners, our job is to interpret the energies of your space as accurately as we can, and provide you with insights gathered from other cases and our own life experience. How you benefit from Feng Shui is mostly up to your own ability to follow through on implementing strategies we provide.
Also, the Feng Shui of your house is just one aspect of your life as a whole. Although good Feng Shui can make a world of difference, if you’re making bad karma by causing others suffering, Feng Shui isn’t going to save you. Good Feng Shui should be coupled with efforts to make good karma for the best results.
What kind of strategies do you suggest?
When you are filling out the consultation request form, we will ask some questions to help us decide which strategies will be most effective for your unique situation.
Many strategies can be implemented to get the most out of the unique energies of your space. The most effective strategies involve spending more of your time in the most auspicious areas of your house, or the activation of elements to balance the energies of different rooms. For example, the addition of plants to activate the wood element in a given room, which will increase the occupant’s ability to do intellectual work in that particular space, etc.
By default, we will focus on strategies which require little to no budget to accomplish. However, if you are renovating a space or have the ability to change landscape features etc., we can suggest higher budget strategies such as the addition of water features, changing the position of the main entrance, addition of hedges or trees, swimming pools, etc.
