Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.

Many modern enthusiasts claim that feng shui is the practice of arranging objects (such as furniture) to help people achieve their goals. More traditionally, feng shui is important in choosing a place to live and finding a burial site, along with agricultural planning.

Feng Shui originated in China over five thousand years ago and has been used ever since as a way of achieving harmony between the environment and human beings.  Harmony is achieved by tapping into the Earth’s Qi, the life force energy.

Feng Shui was originally used in agriculture, then for orienting cities, dwellings, places of business and gravesites, for battle strategies, in fortune telling and as a tool for personal development.

The success of Feng Shui is assured with a combination of architecture, interior design, philosophy, psychology, spirituality, geography, mathematics, astronomy, astrology and most of all, a great deal of common sense.

We are fortunate to be able to choose the environment in which we live and work.  When our environment supports us, we function better.  Working the land and building dwellings shapes the land to meet our needs.  The result is a visible representation of the way we like to live. 

The environment in which we live is thus an extension of ourselves, our personalities.

In the first instance the environment represents the personality of the people who live there.  This applies to a home, a business, a suburb, or an entire country.  Feng Shui understands the interactions between human beings and the environment, providing a complex system to harmonise these forces.

The subtle energies, that which we cannot see (wind) and that which we cannot grasp (water), comprise the meaning of the words Feng Shui.  Wind carries the vital breath of Qi across the landscape where it accumulates at the boundary of water.  Qi is the energy that breathes life into all things.  Veins of Qi flow through and around all things.

Feng Shui concentrates on grasping the Qi energy that permeates the environment and containing it.  This is the Qi that is contained within our buildings and affects our health, wealth, relationships and even influences our personality.

Contemporary Feng Shui follows strict laws of nature, complex mathematical calculations and the measurement of the earth’s magnetic field; combining with modern technology to detect and remedy unwanted influences including electromagnetic radiation, chemical pollutants and building materials hazardous to health (a study known as Building Biology).

Also considered is the effect of the earth’s natural energies and how they impact on a building (detected with a method known as Dowsing).

Combined with Feng Shui is destiny analysis, using the 4 Pillars of Destiny and the personal Ming Gua calculation to determine a person’s fate and their compatibility with their home or place of business.

Feng Shui changes from place to place and also changes in time.  Traditional Feng Shui determines a building’s prosperity according to these ever changing cycles; helping us to be in the right place at the right time.

Good Feng Shui improves health, wellbeing and environment.  In the process nurturing increased happiness, prosperity and Personal Empowerment Through Placement ^TM
