Feng Shui literally means “Wind and Water” and has been used for more than two thousand years in China and the Far East as a method for determining the most appropriate locations for a harmonious life. These locations can the site of a building, the floor-plan of a house or office or just the layout of one room.
Through the centuries the Chinese people acquired a deep understanding of these principles based on studies of The I Ching (the Book of Changes), which describes and predicts the cycles of change which we undergo during our journey through life and consciousness. Feng Shui affects every aspect of our day-to-day living and the way it is applied can be either beneficial or detrimental to the way you live within your space. The underlying principle of Feng Shui is to live in harmony with your physical environment so that the energy surrounding you works for you rather than against you.
Although FS sounds like an invention of New-Age enthusiasts, the principles of nature have remained the same over the centuries so the ancient concepts of Feng Shui are completely relevant to modern life despite different countries, societies and standards. People from all walks of life are coming to understand and to take advantage of the benefits of Feng Shui. As Feng Shui becomes more known, lawyers, business people, actors, entrepreneurs, architects, hospitals, families, etc. have found Feng Shui consultations to be extremely helpful.
Virtually every building has areas which can be improved. Changing the effects of the energies can be accomplished by several means. There are different Feng Shui Schools or Methods currently in use. Homes in Harmony uses the Compass Method which is based on the idea that the eight directions of the compass each represent a different kind of energy thereby affecting your environment.
In India exist the well-known system called Vastu, which is no more easily applicable to modern times, because it belongs to a so-called Yin system, which actually was invented for temples and graveyards. To deal with improvement of today’s dwellings it is necessary to apply a Yang system, which you find in Feng Shui. Although this is also an ancient practice, it was developed for living areas. A famous example of Feng Shui usage was the Forbidden City in China.
Vastu works well, if a new house is build and all the necessary precautions can be implemented in the new plans, but existing houses are not always ideally build according to Vastu. If i.e. the kitchen is not situated in the right direction a Vastu Master will suggest reconstructing to be able to follow the right Vastu implementations. The big advantage of Feng Shui is – especially for existing houses, offices or flats – that it always finds ways to create a harmonious energy flow without demolishing.
