What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui originated in China over 4000 years ago and continues to this day.
Feng Shui is the energetic relationship between man and his environment; the knowledge of the flow of chi within the landscape and buildings is used to enhance quality and success when siting and designing buildings. How your home is arranged affects your well-being; How your business is arranged affects its success.
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 the energy from everything in your surroundings, from the lie of the land and shape of your house to the finer details of your furnishings, interact and 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.
Feng Shui is, of course, only one way that you will be influencing your life; the Chinese consider other aspects important such as fate, political and natural forces and man's own actions. The latter is often the most powerful. Whilst you cannot alter some, you can change your own actions and the feng shui of your own environment to give yourself the best opportunities for health, happiness and success. Throughout the world today people continue to take advantage of Feng Shui knowledge to enhance their quality of life, whether personal or business-related: for example, British Airways, The Body Shop, Madonna, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Julia Roberts, Tommy Hillfiger, Steven Spielberg, Deepak Chopra, Virgin Atlantic, Apple, Nike, Coca Cola, Disney. Morgan Stanley and the Bank of China. They use Feng Shui because they see the results.
See below for different aspects of Feng Shui and how they can be used.
Elements of Feng Shui
Chi
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
Bagua
Chi is the vital force that breathes life into everything from man and animals to plants and the land. Without Chi – the life essence – there would be no growth or movement. Chi is constantly flowing; mixing with what is around it and connected to other energy in its immediate and distant environment. This is sometimes referred to as 'the butterfly effect'.
Bagua
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
Bagua
The Bagua is a template laid over the plan of your house to determine which area of your house relates to which particular area of your life. Once this is done you can determine what needs to be changed to rebalance that area of your life, as what is within each section (the layout, colours, materials etc) will influence that part of your life.

Potential health hazards such as electro-magnetic fields (emf's) should be taken seriously.The human body can only withstand so much before these forces take their toll on our health. All power lines, electrical and electronic appliances produce EMFs. Governments across the world are now setting lower and lower legal levels for emf's- especially for places such as schools and public buildings.
Sacred Space & Gardens

In today's fast-paced world it is more important than ever to make sure we have somewhere beautiful, calming and relaxing to go to de-stress, unwind and recharge our batteries. Gardens and sacred spaces such as yoga and meditation rooms all can be more powerful when designed using the laws of feng shui.
Yin & Yang

Geopathic Stress
These are two natural forces that occur within nature to form the whole and together they bring about balance. Everything seeks a state of balance, whilst also being in a state of continual change.
Geopathic Stress

Geopathic Stress
The term Geopathic comes from two Greek words: geo meaning 'of the earth' and pathos meaning 'suffering' or 'disease'. The word literally means disease or suffering of the earth and the term Geopathic Stress (GS) refers to earth energies that are harmful to man. If there is GS in your home it can seriously affect your health and well-being.
However, it can be detected and usually be removed.
