What is Feng Shui

Feng Shui, meaning ‘wind and water’, is an ancient Chinese art of living in harmony with your environment. By balancing the Qi (energy) in our surroundings we can improve our health and well-being, and bring positive changes to our lives.

Qi (pronounced ‘chee’) is an invisible life force that is constantly changing, and underlies every living and non living thing. It provides a link between people and their surroundings. The goal of Feng Shui is to enhance the Sheng (positive) Qi and control the Sha (negative) Qi.

There are various schools of Feng Shui. This consultation uses three main schools :

FORM SCHOOL Form School analyses the land on the outside of a building, its contours such as mountains and the placement of water. In addition to the outside influence; the shape and inside of the building must also be considered, focusing significantly on the placement of furniture.

COMPASS SCHOOL Compass School is a simplified version of Feng Shui which was developed many centuries ago in China specifically for foreigners. The building and site are divided into eight compass sectors and a central sector. Each sector relates to a specific aspect of your life; wealth, family and health, abundance, career, fame and reputation, marriage and partnerships, children, support, and knowledge. Although Compass School is popular with the public as it is relatively simple to interpret, it should only be used in context with a more comprehensive school of Feng Shui.

FLYING STAR SCHOOL Flying Star school is the traditional Chinese Feng Shui based on numerology, which is the ‘language’ of the universe. It is also considered superior to the other schools as it takes into account the influence of time on a building. Flying Stars is the most complex, accurate and powerful form of Feng Shui. Many Flying Star school recommendations will overrule recommendations of other schools of Feng Shui.
