Empower your space with Feng Shui

Precise compass readings are taken with the luo pan to identify your home’s orientation as well as the directions of all the entrances and rooms. The orientation is one of the most important characteristics of a building as it cannot be changed, and determines whether its energies are compatible to its occupants, and how it can impact different aspects of their life as they live in their home.

All objects, large and small, have a unique energy field determined by its shape, color, material and design. Ideally, your bed, desk, sofa and everything in between should be selected and placed in ways that support your well-being and productivity.

Color is a powerful and effective way to dramatically transform your space. They can be cooling or warming, calming or stimulating – they can change your mood and your energy level. In feng shui, every color is associated to the Five Element Theory and are specifically selected to modify the energies of a room and its occupants, creating the optimal stimulus.

Natural light is crucial as it connects you with the passage of time. It plays a big part in regulating your biological rhythms and psychological well-being. Sunlight naturally purifies the air and energizes the spaces we occupy. Humans are visual and photo sensitive beings. Rooms that are always dark can lower our mood and immunity. Achieving the right balance of natural and artificial lighting greatly impacts how colors appear and how a space will impact your productivity.

Everything is made of energy in feng shui philosophy. All materials such as marble, glass, stainless steel and oak can be categorized under the Five Elements. The finishes in your home or office correspond to one of the Five Elements or a combination of them. Selecting and using natural or organic materials that complement and balance the your energies with your home or office is accomplished by collaborating with an experienced feng shui master.

Paintings, sculptures, photographs and all kinds of artistic expressions can be a source of daily inspiration in your environment. Art with symbolism has the ability to influence your thoughts and change the atmosphere of your space. It cannot be underestimated. Just as compatible and positive art symbolism can create more harmony at home and motivation at work, incompatible and negative art symbolism can have unwanted effects.

Accessories can come in many forms and sizes – from plants to rugs to figurines. Interior decoration is an opportunity to make your place reflect who you are or who you wish to become. It can reinforce who you are by showcasing your hobbies, relationships, and travels or amplify your wishes and goals. An excess of decorative items can lead to clutter and confusion. Balancing inspiration, sustainability, comfort and practicality is part of feng shui.

Feng shui is about creating environments that allow humans to survive and excel based on the laws of nature. It is a bridge of awareness that leads you toward more conscientious living and deeper respect for nature. Part of our continuing personal growth and being better feng shui consultants is making recommendations that can help minimize pollution and reduce waste. We recommend natural, sustainable and ethically sourced materials. We believe feng shui should not only benefit us but our greater environment as well.

All planets, moons, and stars are in constant movement. Ancient and modern astronomers have charted their patterns to predict when certain alignments are expected to occur and how that affects human welfare. One of the highest levels of feng shui practice is the Flying Nine Star which we use to understand how planetary alignments affect us on 60-year, 20-year and annual cycles. Timing in feng shui is about selecting a specific date when the planets are aligned in your favor. In particular, auspicious dates are crucial to the outcome of major life events such as birthing, weddings, funerals, grand openings, ground breaking or moving.
