Feng Shui

What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui originated in China over 4000 years ago and continues to this day. The whole of the universe is linked together by energy sometimes referred to as Chi (Prana in India and Ki in Japan). This energy is subtler and finer than electric and magnetic energies. The Chinese often trace success or failure not to the actions of man, but to the forces of nature known as Feng Shui – literally meaning 'wind' and 'water'. These are held to be responsible for all areas of life; from relationships and health to good fortune and business.

The underlying premise is that everything in your surroundings from the lie of the land and shape of your house to the finer details of your furnishings have a direct impact on your life. The way the subtle currents of energy flow throughout your body and your immediate environment will either enhance your aims in life or hinder them. The correct assessment of this flow and re-adjustment of various elements that are out of place with your objectives will realign the positive forces and bring you back into balance with nature.

Throughout the world today people continue to take advantage of Feng Shui to enhance their quality of life. For example, British Airways and The Body Shop have used it to increase their business success, and Madonna and Donald Trump have benefited from it in their personal lives.


There are many different aspects of Feng Shui that you may have heard about:
  • Perhaps most commonly known is the placement of the "Bagua" which determines which areas of a building relate to which areas of life. The flow of life can be manipulated by re-arranging elements within the building.
  • Astrology can be used to determine auspicious times to make important changes, help assess personality and relationship compatability, and discover what your personal energies are encouraging you to do right now.
  • Health is considered vitally important: Your home could be beautifully "arranged" according to Feng Shui principles, but if there are unhealthy energes flowing through it you cannot gain the maximum benefit; your health may even be at serious risk. These include Emf's (electromagnetic frequencies) that come from many different sources within our homes and businesses as well as outside; and also Geopathic Stress that emanates from the earth. We offer a Health Homes Check. See EMF and Geopathic Stress pages.
