Feng Shui has a very old history in Asia, but is less well-known in the Western world. Although I had practiced Feng Shui for a long time, it was only in 2001 that I saw the first application in the West - in the bank where I was working in New York. 

 

 

Since then, I have seen much more interest in Feng Shui. Many people are intrigued by Feng shui, but are not certain of what it is supposed to do. Many think that it is about placing a tank of water in the house, or changing the position of a bed. In a certain sense it is true, but in the same way as saying that the job of a doctor is to prescribe Paracetamol... He might prescribe Paracetamol, but only because his knowledge of the human body and his diagnosis would lead to Paracetamol. 

 

 

Feng Shui is much more than just an art of placement. Feng shui is all about energy - all objects, all places, all people have a certain energy, and Feng shui is about bringing these energies together. It is a study of the environment and how the energies of the environment interact with the individual dwellings. The Art of Feng Shui is a highly complex art, which requires a sound understanding of the fundamental principles, essential theories, and most importantly the analysis, interpretation and practical application of Classical Feng Shui theories.

 

 

What interests me most is to understand how the different flows of energy influence our lives and make the appropriate changes so that we can find Success - be it financial success, success in our relationships, success for the children or success with our health.

 

I truly believe that people who are living in harmony with their environment do have a better health, a better family life and could aim for prosperity. I do not claim that Feng Shui is an exact science, nor that it will solve all problems. However, it can be a very efficient tool to help us find peace, harmony and success - as evidenced by many real-life examples.
