Feng Shui benefits
Wise decisions for home and office
|
Today, Feng Shui has become increasingly known and recognized by a large number of people. I have observed this evolution since 2007, the year I started studying Feng Shui.
It's amazing the change that a study of Feng Shui makes in the reality of people's lives. Its practical application in the areas of interior design and architecture are quite sought both by individuals and by companies.
The Feng Shui studies the spaces and their interaction with the energy of the people who live there, and this ancient Chinese art suggests solutions to improve and enhance the environment.
It is not an art that can be understood by tips; each case is unique, has some complexity and should be guided by skilled and experienced consultants.
Imagine that you are in one of the situations described below:
- You need to find the right location for your business
- You feel stagnant or loss of profitability in your business
- You want to sell your home or you want to buy or rent a new home
- You need help for an interior design project with the application of Feng Shui techniques
- You are in an end of the cycle phase of your life
- You feel that you need to improve your home or office’s energy
A Feng Shui consultation can respond to these situations:
1. Feng Shui can help identify the most prosperous areas; a consultant may use the Feng Shui Form School, Contemporary or Classical Feng Shui. The Chinese, for example, always look for a consultant before setting a business.
2. The Metal energy that we identify and associate with business and finance sometimes stagnates and becomes weakened. A good consultant can detect this energy in the property and provide good advice and suggestions to increase and encourage the energy of money. The organization of your company, the best place for each employee, the director and assistant’s office and the boardroom are analyzed with detail and care.
3. Feng Shui can help you selling your home, but first you must "heal" the space where you live in to attract a better home. Improving your home´s environment, cleaning and organizing, will help attracting good buyers. Other factors are also important when looking for a new home, such as: surroundings, structure, spatial organization, construction details or if there are any underground water lines. Sleeping in a bedroom with underground water beneath is a situation that must be avoided as it can be harmful to your health. With some metal sticks or a loupan (Chinese compass) it is possible to detect underground water.
4. Many clients today are looking for Feng Shui to help in the decoration of their homes. The master bedroom, the children's rooms and the living room are analyzed and decorated with balance and harmony. The orientation of the beds and desks, the placement of furniture, colors and patterns are studied in detail and the final result is fantastic. A comparison of "before and after" photos is always amazing. The Contemporary Feng Shui is the most widely used in this matter, following the analysis of the 8 directions. The shape of your home’s plan and the location of doors and windows show you which of the eight types of energy predominates in your home and which one is more likely to influence you. Sun exposure has a great importance in the energy of your home. If there is some lack of energy, it can affect your life. For example, if there is no East in your house plan, there may be a lack of confidence, self-esteem and ambition, or some difficulty in initiating new projects.
5. Sometimes we feel that we are completing a cycle, with a dismissal or a breakup for example, and we want to do the so-called "detachment" and clear the past, to start a new cycle. Here Feng Shui helps you set goals and create priorities. This consultancy also acts as counseling and coaching sessions. Some recommendations included in the report are at a nutrition level (through macrobiotics) according to visual diagnosis. It also provides personal advice from live coaching to improve and balance your day-to-day, including exercise, meditation and contact with nature. The symbiosis between home healing with Feng Shui and restoring your body’s energy (with coaching and balanced diet) contribute to a faster transforming result. Changing the vibration pattern and energy is fundamental to improving a person's life, providing energy and balance to start a new cycle.
6. We often feel that something is not right, what more sensitive people identify as an energetic blockage. A Feng Shui consultant can help identify less positive situations, which may due to geopathic stress, underground water or subtle energies left by the previous owners. Space Clearing helps to unblock and cleanse these stagnant energies. The walls absorb all types of energy, a discussion, a death, a disease can be recorded on them and therefore it is necessary to remove this stagnant energy.
Feng Shui teaches us how to get rapid transformations through the use of plants, lighting and color. It also reveals how you can get more out of our house, maximizing positive energies and to live it with harmony and tranquility.
