Feng Shui

For many millennia, Feng Shui within Taoist life philosophy was an imperial secret, and was kept that way so that subjects could not use it against their emperor. Feng Shui, in common with most traditional life philosophies, is based on thousands of years of observation and use. These old traditions arose at a time when people lived their lives in closer harmony with nature and had a greater respect for it. They lived with nature and did not exploit it. Feng Shui masters take the changing seasons, day and night, yin and yang, the sun and the moon into account. They also pay close attention to environmental conditions, and topography. Moreover, Taoists use astrology for individuals and buildings, applying yearly, monthly, daily, and hourly cycles in a similar way as western astrologists do.

Feng Shui is not a religion but a Chinese art of arranging harmony within our environment to achieve prosperity and peace, and to make it easier to deal with everyday life. Therefore, because Feng Shui is not a religion, it does not interfere with an individual’s beliefs and is compatible with all religions. Even nowadays Asian countries, and more powerful companies worldwide are still using it effectively and enjoying its benefits.  Simplified versions of Feng Shui can be found almost everywhere on the internet with various explanations, which could create confusion.

However, even if you read about how to build a house on Google, you still wouldn’t be able to build it yourself, would you?

Similarly, some people try all kinds of things, some of which are effective and some of which are not.

My experience began in the same way. I was eleven when I won my first Chinese astrology book and I remember reading and trying to learn and calculate my four-pillar astrology following the book’s instructions. From then on, I bought several books, and read numerous articles. At the age of twenty when I renovated my first apartment, I even felt it was essential to work with a professional Feng Shui consultant who gave me useful tips from this fantastic system. I travelled and lived in several European countries, and each apartment brought a different energy and experience into my life.  

In 2012, I gained a traditional Feng Shui intermediate course qualification which led me to deepen my knowledge of traditional feng shui. I was also able to help and provide good advice to improve the living environments of my family and friends when they felt the need.  I offered Feng Shui advice to some businesses in the Malaga area of Spain, as well as owners of residential properties.

Over the years, I have realised that even if someone tries to live healthily, if their home or workplace does not adequately support their effort and energy, it will be more challenging to achieve their goals. In 2022, I delved further into this fantastic philosophy of life. I obtained the qualifications of a Feng Shui expert consultant through advanced practitioner training, following the methodology of Grant Master Raymond Lo as I wanted to provide a wider range of tools to those who really desired to achieve positive changes in their lives. 

During my sessions as a health coach, I can help individuals to achieve their goals and fill them with positive energy, yet as soon as they leave our session and return home, they can experience disequilibrium and the positive energy seems to suddenly disappear, leaving them feeling apathetic again. Feng Shui is a perfect tool to fix or prevent this issue.

An interior designer takes the layout of the house and uses their ideas and design, reflecting their artistic commitments, as a basis for decorating and preparing a property's interior design. However, a feng shui designer considers the construction period of the house as well as the astrological year, environment, the building's exterior, division and orientation.

Also, it takes into account who will live in the property and what direction, materials and colours should be used to support those people. It is necessary to consider the astrology of the people living there and provide an utterly personalized consultation and a complete design.
