Our services include techniques and guidelines
that can promote success and well-being through the design and construction
of residential environments. These techniques have been successful
in conceiving environments that enhance family life, health, marriage,
and the education and future of children. When used in conjunction
with improvements to the family's business or home office, these
guidelines can also help to promote career, finance, fame, and business
success.
We have also collaborated on a number of large-scale residential
development projects, both in high-rise buildings as well as in
subdivisions and new neighborhoods. In such projects, our services
contributed feng shui and geomancy assessments to site planning,
architectural design, interior layout, materials specifications,
as well as building rituals and ceremonies.
In addition to these contributions to the architectural program,
we have also provided specialized techniques for the analysis and
development of interior form and its corresponding conceptual, material,
and symbolic content. This can be achieved through the analysis
of textures, shapes, and colors, both in the physical form of the
space as well as its decor and furnishings. Hence, there is a synergetic
relationship between the outer envelope of the structure and its
internal qualities, materials, and colors.
In addition, we often are called to correct deficiencies caused
by improper architectural configurations in previous building campaigns.
For existing construction this is a very important tool that allows
the client to correct for problems that would be otherwise too expensive
to address.
The Home
A home and its environs reflect
both the internal and the external aspects of a person’s life.
A home is a holistic representation of its users’ life in
which every individual part mirrors the entirety of their life situation.
The surrounding topography and landscape, for example, play a fundamental
role in determining the level of success, renown, wealth, and longevity
an individual or family will be able to harness in that location.
Closer to home, the shape of the structure and the internal layout
of rooms and spaces are often reflective of personal issues in its
occupant’s life. Career, prosperity, health, family dynamics,
spirituality, or public recognition are all reflected in the layout
and footprint of the space. In addition, their more internal or
subconscious aspects are also reflected in the darker spaces of
the home such as the basement, attic, or closets. Other qualities
of the home environment also play a role in determining and influencing
daily living. The degree of clarity or enlightenment that a person
or family have achieved, for example, is reflected in the quality
of light and the brilliance of feeling in the home. Sadness, depression,
or trauma can often be seen in tortured layouts, dark corridors,
congested closets, or excessive clutter.
A feng shui analysis of
a home consists in a two-fold search for positive factors that can
support and enhance the occupants’ prosperity, career, health,
and personal potential, while simultaneously seeking to identify
any negative factors that may be impinging on their success. The
objective of this analysis is to activate and enhance the positive
aspects of the home while also seeking to eliminate or, at the very
least, neutralize the negative ones.
This goal is achieved by
using a whole battery of techniques that include analyses of the
surrounding landscape, evaluations of the structure’s architectural
form, orientation in space, interior layout, décor, and,
most importantly, the flow of vital energy within the home. In addition,
horoscopes systems of many types are also used to evaluate the client’s
potential and to correlate it to the potential inherent in the land,
the structure, and its orientation. Careful consideration is also
given to the cycles of time and the seasons and to their impact
on good fortune, health and longevity. This is true not only for
the individuals involved but for the structure as well, as each
individual building has its own array of potential and possibility
over any given time frame.
Strategies
& Process
The result of this endeavor
is a strategy that is designed to create transformation, improvement,
or resolution in the client’s life. The client’s personal
goals and aspirations are therefore an integral part of this endeavor;
no home can be analyzed independently of its occupants’ potential
and level of cultivation and achievement. All aspects of that person
or family’s life are considered; feng shui postulates that
all aspects, events and potential in human life are related and
connected to all others. Improvements in one area are bound to have
a positive impact in others. It is this holistic outlook on human
growth and maturation that allows feng shui to create changes and
improvements in areas of life that are resistant to other disciplines.
Once the strategy is arrived
at, it is up to the client to implement the adjustments and recommendations
prescribed. By assuming personal responsibility for this process,
the client is empowered in his or her own path of maturity and growth.
This is done over time, with the continuous assistance and support
of the feng shui consultant and other contractors or assistants
as needed. If one area of the strategy were to prove resistant,
additional techniques or adjustments can be recommended; fine-tuning
the original strategies and approaches is an integral part of the
work and often requires additional visits or consultation.
Existing
Construction
Although it is always best
to undertake feng shui consultation before buying or building a
home, it is still possible to make adjustments or corrections to
existing situations, even in those situations where construction
or remodeling is impossible. Feng shui has at its disposal a wide
assortment of remedies for situations that will accept limited physical
change. Known collectively as transcendental cures, these techniques
are an important complement to established feng shui practice.
Because the energy in the
cosmos changes over time, it is also important to revisit the feng
shui of a home at least once a year and more often in cases where
there is illness, difficulty, conflict, or during periods of rapid
transition. Working with feng shui over time provides a very valuable
tool in the creation of lasting change in a person’s or family’s
life.
