FENG SHUI

The Art of Placement

Design & Enhance Spaces Where We Live and Work

The term feng shui literally translates as “wind-water” in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Zangshu (Book of Burial) by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty:^[5] Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.^[5]

Almost every culture of the world reflects some awareness of the power of placement in its wisdom teachings. It is through this ancient legacy that Feng Shui practitioners seek to enliven your living space. At the deepest level of understanding, Feng Shui is the interplay between the seen (our surroundings) and the unseen (energy and intention). Feng Shui acknowledges the interconnectedness of all creation.

A good definition of feng shui is a:

tradition which describes rules in Chinese philosophy that govern spatial arrangement and orientation in relation to patterns of yin and yang and the flow of energy (qi); the favorable or unfavorable effects of this energetic interplay are taken into consideration in the design and arrangement of the space where we live and work.

Michael Travers has a lifelong passion for the practical aesthetics of our world, and as an artist and spiritual practitioner is especially suited to assisting you in making the most of your home or workplace.

“FENG SHUI is the Chinese art of placement in relation to energy.  From the setting of a property to the placement of furniture in it to create a harmonious living/working environment, Feng Shui provides effective solutions to many living situations, minimizing problems and maximizing good fortune. My Consultation embraces the Form, Compass and Bagua schools of Feng Shui. A full consultation on an average size (three bedroom) house will take me a few hours. At the start of the consultation I look around the outside of the building paying particular attention to its relationship with the surrounding landscape (Form School) and other buildings and objects nearby, its image and how welcoming it feels as well as its Compass orientation. I will spend some time with the client, before assessing the interior space/s, to find out what changes they would particularly like to bring into their lives.  Then I will review the whole premises to assess its energy flow and elemental orientations, and use the Bagua (Octagonal Map) to establish which areas can be enhanced to help the client manifest their specific personal life requirements.
Finally I will make recommendations for any cures that might be necessary to improve the feeling and energy flow of all of the spaces, and follow up my consultation with a short report outlining all the major issues raised.“

FENG SHUI CONSULTATIONS

FENG SHUI

Is the Chinese art of placement in relation to energy.  From the setting of a property to the placement of furniture in it to create a harmonious living/working environment, Feng Shui provides effective solutions to many living situations, minimizing problems and maximizing good fortune.

My consultations embrace the Form, Compass and Ba Gua Schools of Feng Shui.  I will generally take 3 to 4 hours on site analysing the land and/or building.

FORM ~ EVALUATING THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
The consultation begins with the outside of the building paying particular attention to its relationship with the surrounding landscape (Form School) and other buildings and objects nearby, its image and how welcoming it feels.

LO PAN ~ GEOMANTIC COMPASS ~ CHARTING THE PATTERNS OF ENERGY

Readings are taken based on the Lo Pan Compass to establish the Facing direction of the site/building and to establish the most auspicious directions for items of furniture in a room.

BA GUA (OCTAGONAL MAP) ~ EVALUATING THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

I will spend some time with you, the client, before turning my attention to the interior space/s, to find out what changes you would particularly like to bring into your life.  Then I will analyse the whole premises to assess its energy flow and elemental orientations, and use the Ba Gua (Octagonal Map) to establish which areas can be enhanced to help you manifest your specific personal life requirements.

IMPROVING THE FENG SHUI OF A SITE OR BUILDING

Recommendations will be made for any cures, enhancements, and elemental balancing that are necessary to improve the feeling and energy flow of all of the spaces, and (in a full consultation) follow up my consultation with a report outlining all the major issues raised.

COLOUR SCHEMES & CONVENTIONAL INTERIOR DESIGN

During the consultation I will also assess the internal spaces in order to make recommendations for appropriate colour schemes, lighting, furniture, fixtures and fittings.  If necessary I can draw up sketches or scale drawings for any special features or renovations that might be required.
