An ancient Oriental practice used to holistically Re-Pair you with your surroundings 

Authentic feng shui is a secret science which focuses on your health, relationships and wealth – in that order – so you can become happier, healthier and wealthier.

Unlike the Westernised version of feng shui, it is an accurate science rather than based on intuition, and used to encourage good health, harmony, luck, opportunities and prosperity leading to powerful positivity, transformation and fulfilment by matching, balancing and harmonising your personal energies to the energies of your living spaces and workspaces.

The process is based on your birthdate to establish your personal energies and data specific to the energies and orientation of a building and its surroundings, combined with best timing to increase your chances of living a successful life.

The front door and hall are where all the energy enters a building and as such is considered the ‘mouth’ of the home. In this way, the entrance to a building concerns all aspects of your life. A front door should face a good direction for your personal energies, and not be directly aligned to create a taboo situation such as lined up directly with a back door with nothing between them to slow down or stop the energy passing through too quickly.

Following is an example of a positive transformation that demonstrates the importance of good feng shui in relation to the configuration and layout of your spaces and its impact on your health which is your wealth:

A lady who was living in a purpose-built one-bedroom Paris apartment suffered regular, intense and prolonged migraines, negatively affecting her health and relationships. This was due to aligning the headboard of her bed against a wall behind which was a toilet. Her bed had been in this position since she moved in, 13 years prior.

This is a serious taboo that quickly destroys your health and relationships because it is the equivalent of putting your head down the toilet causing sewer energy to toxify your system thereby poisoning your health and relationships, with people turning against you.

In this case, her migraines had continued to worsen over the years, with the result they were occurring on a weekly basis, rendering her unable to work for many days at a time. This had cost her a small fortune in doctor’s bills, hospital tests, and in powerful prescription drugs with nasty side effects and long-term consequences – all with no medical diagnosis to account for her condition. Her relationships were also strained, and this was adding to her stress. 

The solution to the problem was relatively quick and easy with no financial outlay; simply realigning her bed to face one of her best directions whilst ensuring she did not set it to another taboo position. The recommendations offered included avoiding certain foods in her diet to prevent magnifying the current situation, detoxing her system to cleanse her body of toxins, and reducing stress by introducing relaxation techniques. She now rarely gets migraines and if she does, they last for short periods with far less intensity. Happily, her relationships are also on a much better keel too.

A good practitioner may use many schools of practice. The authentic feng shui process involves a comprehensive data analysis of your property and its surroundings, checking for taboos that must be corrected as well as cross-checking your personal energies with those of your partner and family members (and anyone else who lives under the same roof as you), with the aim of encouraging greater harmony and support. It is important too to establish who is the breadwinner and who is the boss in your household, and the process requires focus, accuracy and specialist knowledge to build up layer-upon-layer of data because each decision has life-changing consequences for all who live and work there.

The time it takes to carry out an assessment depends on the number of people in your household, the size of the building you live or work in or both, the seriousness of your situation, and whether you are self-employed or running a business as this increases the risk to your livelihood.

Everything has a knock-on domino-like effect, so it is important for the consultant to consider this during their assessment, and for you to apply their recommendations for correcting and adjusting your personal energies and those of the property in their entirety for best results, because the process is holistic and the more you implement the more powerful the positivity, transformation and fulfilment you can experience.
