what is feng shui?

Feng means wind and Shui means water. The definition of Feng Shui is “The energy (Qi) of the dragon (mountain) will be dispersed by wind and will stop at the boundary of water”. Water is important in Feng Shui because it carries the Qi in the environment. Water is classified as yang as it is always moving eg the rivers, oceans and streams. Mountains are classified as yin because they do not move. Feng Shui is harnessing the good Qi in your environment and negating the effects of the negative Qi. The major benefit is a healthy and prosperous environment to live in.

Feng Shui adopts the principles of balance – yin and yang. The earth’s gravity, electromagnetic fields and its surrounding constellations all have control over our lives.

Feng Huang Consulting practices Classical Feng Shui. Classical Feng Shui is not about placing objects to cure any deficits or setbacks in a place's Feng Shui. It is about identifying the Qi in your environment and tapping into this Qi to assist us in our goals.  Classical Feng Shui is not about interior design, decoration, colour or items.

Feng Shui was first used about 3000 years ago. At that time it was known as Kan Yu. It is the study of landforms by using yin and yang principles and the 5 elements i.e. wood, water, metal, earth and fire. This is known as San He Feng Shui.

San Yuan, a later system of Feng Shui was thought to make its presence at the end of the Tang Dynasty (618AD – 907AD) and involves time and space dimensions. San Yuan also includes Dragon Gate Eight Formations, Time and Space 64 Hexagrams, Flying Stars and Eight Mansions.



What happens in a Feng Shui consultation?


The external environment is very important in Feng Shui - it plays about 70% in the overall analysis.  A Feng Shui practitioner should view the external areas around your property first to determine what type of Qi your property is or not receiving.

There are many techniques in Feng Shui ie San Yuen, San He and Xuan Kong to name a few that are or can be used in  an analysis.  It is only when the external is evaluated then the practitioner will view the internal layout of the premises - which equates to about 30% of your overall Feng Shui.
