Feng shui is a complex study into how our environment affects us.

Practitioners spend many decades studying to understand the complexities of nature, and what impact it has on us.
These ideas are then used to create a space which has good energy.
Let us start to explore the basics with you, so that you might have an understanding, but we recommend consulting a professional if you want to use the study of Feng Shui in your environment.
ONE OF OUR UNDERSTANDINGS OF FENG SHUI IS THAT THE FLOW
(AIR, ENERGY, PEOPLE) IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
Easy flow allows for good energy
The more obstacles, the more ways energy needs to be found.

The ancient school of Feng Shui looks beyond the room, and studies the formation of the elements in the landscape, and what impact they have on a home. Mountains, rivers.
Today man made items such as lakes and buildings will affect an environment.
THE BAGUA (below) IS USED AS ONE FORM OF TEACHING HOW OBJECTS, COLOURS AND MATERIALS CAN AFFECT AN ENVIRONMENT.
Place the Bagua in your house or room in the direction of the compass. Each part of the room will respond well to the colour and aspect of life indicated.
Use these colours in that part of the space to create better energy.
Each direction has a number, and an element.
On a very simplistic platform, if you were to place water in the 'north' sector it would be harmonious.
Allow room to move around your furniture, creating good energy.
