Feng Shui

History

Feng shui originated over 6000 years ago in China.

Our ancestors recognised that people who lived in environments, where the energy and form was good flourished. Therefore, in China all government buildings, palaces and eventually whole towns were built using feng shui principles.

Today, feng shui is practiced all over the world and its correct application relates to maximizing the potential of people’s homes and businesses so that they achieve good health, beneficial relationships, social and financial success.

A small dose of Chinese Philosophy

Chinese Philosophy recognizes that three major forces influence our lives:

Heaven luck– our astrology: the planetary alignment at the time of our birth and how that shapes our life. And the family we are born into and how they nurture and influence us.

Human luck- our motivation and drive and the effort we put into developing our future.

Earth luck– the energy of the place we live and work in and how that affects our life. This is feng shui

‘We shape our buildings – thereafter they shape us…’ Winston Churchill

Literally translated feng shui means ‘wind water’. Its principles maintain that we live in harmony with our environment - that we swim with the current, rather than against the tide. Its aim is to achieve balance and harmony in your living space and maximise your potential for success.

Feng shui takes many years of specialised training to practise. By combining the knowledge of both the form and compass orientation of a space, a practitioner can explain how the property in which you are living or working in affects your life.

The correct application of feng shui principles will balance and maximize the potential of both your home and businesses.

Feng Shui: Harmonize your home and heal your life

‘When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation, when there is order in the nation there is peace in the world.’ Anonymous

Homes are a reflection of their occupants. If any part is missing, neglected or has negative energy then this may be reflected in the life of its occupant.

The correct application of Feng shui has the power to change the way a property feels.

The ‘art of placement’ is a very important aspect of feng shui. How a property sits in its environment is crucial. A building should have high ground behind it to hold the energy, stop strong winds and support us, a clear view in front to give us an open and bright future, and balanced support on its left and right side to offer its occupants a balance of yin and yang energy resulting in stability.

As well as studying the inside of a property, a practitioner has to pay attention to the outside, observing the:

Shape of the land

Shape of the property

Slope of the road

Form of surrounding buildings

Location of large trees

Electricity & telegraph poles, mobile phone masts

Location of power stations, police stations, churches, cemeteries & train stations

Locations of rivers & canals etc.

To see if they are impacting on your property and which family member they will be affecting in particular.

The external and internal form of your property can have a huge affect on you and your family's life, for instance:

If your wealth area is located in your toilet, your finances may go down the drain.
If your relationship area is missing or imbalanced you may struggle to find a partner, or find it difficult to sustain a relationship.
If you have clashing energy in the home it may cause friction in your relationships with your partner or children.
If you have clutter or negative energy in your career area then you may struggle with your job and not get promoted.
If you have a large tree in a particular direction and location it may reinforce problems with fertility.
If you have a phone mast in a particular direction it may cause major problems with the health of one of your family members in particular, depending on its direction.
If the cooker and sink are placed incorrectly in your kitchen it may add to conflict in a relationship.
If the direction that represents you or any family member is neglected or missing it may be reflected in their life.
If your bedroom is wrongly located or decorated your health and in particular your sleep may suffer.
If an overpowering building or sharp corner is hitting your property it may cause serious health problems for the occupants.

How do you know if you could benefit from Feng Shui?

If any of the following apply to you:

Relationship problems or lack of a relationship
Family conflicts
Stagnant career or unemployment
Draining finances
Depleted health (in particular back and stomach problems)
No vitality
Insomnia
Infertility (when there is no medical reason)
Buying a new home (to ensure that there are no major flaws in its form and orientation)
Difficulty in selling or renting your home
Lack of opportunities
Life has become an uphill struggle

If the above are relevant to you then Feng Shui may assist in improving the situation, but only if the situation is a result of the feng shui of your property.

However, it is important to remember that feng shui is not magic. it aims at improving your earth luck, so that the property is able to support you to its full potential. Thus, for example, if you are having problems with conceiving children and you have been diagnosed with a medical condition. Then feng shui may be used simultaneously with medical procedures, but will not alone cure your infertility. If for example you are looking for a relationship, the intervention of feng shui will improve your chances of finding a partner, however, you will still need to go out and meet prospective partners and not just expect someone to miraculously appear.

The correct application of feng shui principles combined with the knowledge of astrology can help balance and maximize the potential of your space to suit you, neutralize negative energy, maximize positive energy and balance your property.
