Feng Shui & Space

Thousands of years and thousands of miles from its origins, Feng Shui is rapidly increasing in popularity in the West today. Feng Shui is a system that was originally devised in China, to protect people from climactic and environmental conditions - harsh winds and untamed waters. Over time, it developed in complexity and was required to deal with fertility, fame and fortune as well. Today, Feng Shui is used to enhance every area of peoples' lives.

Feng Shui is based on the source of all Chinese thought - the I Ching. It shares its roots with other Chinese beliefs such as acupuncture and shiatsu, Taoist philosophy the dualism of Yin and Yang and Chinese astrology.

It is neither magic, nor mysticism, nor superstition, nor religion. It requires neither faith, nor fervent belief nor the compromise of any religious convictions nor other personal values. It is steeped in a philosophy of life predicated on the holistic health benefits to be gained from living in harmony with the environment.

The Western analogue of Feng Shui is Geomancy. The methods differ but the underlying intent is the same: to enhance the interplay between man and the earth's energy fields.

Feng Shui combines principles and concepts from such rich and varied fields as landscaping, architecture and interior design, psychology, astrology, ecology, earth sciences and earth-centred spirituality. Add a generous helping of intuition, ritual and common sense and you achieve a potent mix that enables you to choose and arrange any environment in the most auspicious manner.

Auspicious literally means 'with the stars' and Feng Shui provides the principles that enable you to do the right thing, in the right place at the right time, and so benefit from optimum harmony, balance and health.

Feng Shui can be applied to any space - homes, gardens, offices, restaurants, shopping malls, airports, and so on. There are many ways of assessing the Feng Shui of a site . Some approaches are based on method and calculation, others on studying land form and water courses or locating significant areas and compass directions.

A Feng Shui consultation involves no guesswork. Every space has unique ambient and cyclical energy characteristics that are analysed and considered in conjunction with the profiles of the individuals occupying the space. The Feng Shui consultant determines the energy dynamics between a space, its occupants, the environment and how the energy changes with time.

Calculations are performed according to basic Feng Shui principles and remedies are prescribed to balance the space's energy, in order to enhance current events and anticipate and adjust for future possibilities. The consultant pays particular attention to whatever the occupants are trying to achieve in their lives and any problems they may wish to resolve.

Feng Shui recommendations are likely to include the removal of clutter; the rearrangement of furniture and reorientation of important items such as beds, seating, desks and cookers; adding, moving and removing decorative features and the use of 'cures', such as plants, water, aroma, colour, texture and shape.
