What Feng Shui Is

Feng Shui is a method used to evaluate our lives and spaces and then design them to suit our goals. Over 5000 years ago, Taoist sages knew that they and their surroundings were one.  They developed an elegant system through awareness, study and collaboration which is still being used to bring harmony, balance and wealth to billions of people, governments and businesses around the world.  

 

We can use this wisdom to prosper.  By becoming aware of the energy and spaces around us, and understanding how that energy influences our lives, we become masters rather than victims. 

How it works

The system uses these tools: 

·  The Bagua:  a nine-boxed grid which correlates areas of a home or office to aspects of life.  This grid looks simple but it is the basis for how energy either supports or depletes life, it’s a picture of the cycle of life, the seasons, compass points, cosmic influences, colors, shapes and energy.  This information to specific lives and spaces to restore balance and produce harmony is the task of every Feng Shui Master; in fact, the goal of every human being to be powerful, effective and gentle at the same time, in balance with all around us.

·  The Transformations of Life Force:

  All life is comprised of energy.  Energy is either creating life or diminishing it.  The Five Transformations of Life Force, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal, correspond to energy patterns, colors, shapes, emotions, food, directions and more.  As you understand the energetic nature of these ‘elements’ you understand how energy flows and how to introduce another element into your life to regain balance.

·   Intuition and sensing:  This has been a questionable source of information  in our culture until now.  We are beginning to understand that we all have a direct line to our Creator and that the conversation takes place in the Stillness of our Hearts.  When you reconnect, trust and act on to the intuition and instinct that is present in your body, you become a powerful co-creator of your life.  Realigning you with your intuition is my goal so that you don’t need a science or another.  One of my teachers told me, “It’s only You and God.”   That’s ALL you need.  The rest is just ‘training wheels.” 

Life is always changing, everything is alive and everything is interconnected. 

Feng Shui is multi-dimensional and so are you – using Feng Shui in your spaces will change your life.
