Fengshui (also spelt as fung shui) literally translated means wind and water. It is an ancient Chinese practice of consulting the spirits to determine the best way to arrange furniture and objects at a given location to achieve harmony. Companies looking for growth opportunities, or individuals who are going through a tough time usually hire a Fengshui consultant.
We see it as an art rather than science. The effectiveness of fengshui depends on how the architect designed the building, or how the designer placed the furniture in your office or home.
There is no such thing as a perfect fengshui here on earth. However, you can improve your chances by following some simple guidelines that will help you make your home and office more prosperous and harmonious.
Why Hire a Fengshui Consultant?
It is amazing how many companies have moved into big offices without any proper fengshui consultation before settling in.
Their staffs suffer from backaches and arthritis because their workstations are facing the wrong direction or they have some very bad energy areas in their offices that disrupt work productivity and creates tensions within staffs among others.
These are just some of the common problems we notice in workplaces that did not consult fengshui experts before moving into their new offices.
If you want to avoid these problems, you should get a fengshui consultant to check out your house or office before you move in, especially if it is newly built or refurbished.
A proper consultation will help reduce costly mistakes that could cause tension between staffs and affect business operations negatively.
Here are other reasons why you should get a fengshui expert to check out your house or office before moving in:
- Find out where best to place your bed, sofa, dining table etc., so that they will be facing the right directions which will enhance better flow of Chi within each room;
- Ensure there are no negative energy areas like waterfalls, trees, staircases etc., nearby;
- Help promote harmony among family members by placing beds properly;
- Promote harmony among staff by placing desks properly;
- Make sure there are no major changes taking place, such as nearby renovation works that may disturb Chi flow (e.g., excavations etc.)
The above reasons show why it pays off hiring professional Feng Shui consultants when moving into new homes or offices instead of doing things yourself based on guesswork and intuition alone!
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost is all up to you. However, we would not recommend you to cheapen your health, wealth and relationships by using unlicensed fengshui consultants.
There are many unlicensed consultants who are actually con-artists or amateurs at best. They usually charge very cheap rates because they know that what they are doing is purely guesswork.
