Feng Shui is all about energy or “Chi” and how it moves through our environment. The fact that we all connect with each other is not a “fad” nor is it a “new age theory” - it’s a scientific fact proven through physics, and yet many people still have problems accepting this basic principal.

Think about a time when someone cheerful and full of optimism has visited, and you have felt their positive vibe spill over into your life and home whilst you are in their company. This is because we are all in a constant energy exchange throughout the day.

Our primary purpose as practioners is to create an environment utilising Feng Shui principals in your home that will enable you to relax, unwind and retreat into what you can call “your personal haven”.

If you are just beginning to explore Feng Shui and what it can do for you, then here are some basic steps that you can follow:

Firstly, decide exactly what you want from your home environment. Do you need a room for total relaxation enabling you to recharge your batteries when they need revitalising? Perhaps you need a room to work in and inspire your mind when creativity is required or maybe you would like a wonderful family home that is filled with love, joyful memories and optimism? The first step is to take the time decide what type of environment you would like to create for your home.

Secondly, look around your home and begin to do what all Feng Shui consultants preach – DE-CLUTTER. Clutter literally blocks chi from entering your living space. De–cluttering your home, will ensure that you push away the old stagnant energy and make room for the new energy to flow into your life.

Feng Shui has many different rules and theories that a consultant will follow when commencing an audit on your home.

One theory in particular follows the principals that each part of your home is connected to a specific section of your life. North is your career, Northwest represents the patriarch and mentors and so on. Therefore, by de-cluttering each part of your home you are ensuring that there is always movement and positive energy flowing through your home and life.

Finally, one must always remember that behind Feng Shui are three philosophies that must be entwined together to help you fulfil your life. These are Tien Chi, Ti Chi and Ren Chi.

Tien Chi is created when you are born; it is preordained and cannot be changed. Commonly known as “Heaven Luck” in layman’s terms it means “being born in the right place and at the right time”. This type of luck can influence the rest of your life.

Ti Chi is known as Earth Luck. This type of luck is manifested from our surroundings and environment and can be enhanced through Feng Shui principals. It can make Feng Shui sound like the answer to everybody’s prayers.

However, we must not forget the last of the three lucks - Ren Chi. This is the good luck that you establish for yourself in the world. It means you should go for your goals, always be determined and keep a positive attitude.

So you see, Feng Shui is not magic, nor is it a spiritual practice. Feng Shui gives you the ability to live harmoniously within your environment, thus ensuring a more positive life bringing about prosperity and health. As Baltasar Gracian, the great Spanish philosopher wrote in 1615 “It is a great piece of skill to know how to guide your luck even while you are waiting for it.”

Feng Shui balances the elements of your surroundings and allows the invisible energies of the earth and environment to work with you, enhancing your good fortune, protecting against illness and ensuring that you make the most of your life.
