Simply put, Feng Shui is an art and a science. Originating in China, literally translated: feng means wind and shui is water. It is a study and discipline, thousands of years old, focusing on one\u2019s personal space \u2013 home, office, landscape \u2013 and the flow of energy. Through Feng Shui, we intend to maximize life goals and intentions, balance elemental facets, and look to the feminine and masculine of all things.<\/p>\n
In Feng Shui, there is an understanding that energy flows through all things \u2013 living and inanimate. Through that energy flow, we can design and arrange our spaces to support and nourish our lives and goals using the Feng Shui tools of the trade. The positive aspects to chi flow bring about positive shifts to our world, relationships, home and work, abundance and health and more. A less than positive, or negative, chi flow can keep us stagnant, from achieving our goals, or from being all that we are intended to be.<\/p>\n
There is also the understanding in Feng Shui that all situations are fluid and can change. Change in inevitable; change can be beneficial. Feng Shui uses the physical shifts and updates to our spaces to bring about positive and harmonious shifts in our lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important thing to understand is that Feng Shui is really about the energy that\u2019s surrounding you in your personal space.\u201d<\/p>\n

How does Feng Shui work?<\/strong><\/p>\n Simply put: Physical and intentional shifts to your space whether home or work or even landscape \u2013 embracing the energy of the world \u2013 make Feng Shui work. Without those, it is difficult to harness the benefits of Feng Shui. And difficult to create the desires you want in any of the 9 life areas, or guas such as wealth, relationships, career or family to name a few.<\/p>\n The basics are clear: live with what you love \u2013 get rid of what you don\u2019t. Remove clutter. That is a great start.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ifsguild.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Blog-Images-600-\u00d7-400-px-1.png” title_text=”What is Feng Shui” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” custom_padding=”27px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n \u201cAlways keep in mind that the strongest factor of your Feng Shui is you.\u201d \u2015 Stefan Emunds<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Feng Shui is an art, a discipline, and one not taken lightly.
