Feng Shui 101

by Sharda Chaitanya

Feng Shui is the ancient art of deliberate placement. The philosophy of Feng Shui proposes that everything contains its own unique energy and everything is affected by the energy surrounding it.

While the premise is very broad, the approach is very simple. When objects, (furniture, foliage, lighting, mirrors, elements, color) are placed in correct and particular relationship to one another, in keeping with Feng Shui theory of harmony, then ourselves and our lives “get” that; we are influenced positively and productively because the flow of Chi (energy) is harmonious.

One can use Feng Shui in the home, office or business; for real estate issues, when progress is "stuck"; for propelling your job to the next level, or even enhancing your work cubicle if you are dealing with pesky co-workers! Feng Shui is a very tangible method for change and lets us feel that we are in control. Once the physical changes are in place, those for whom the work was done will begin to feel and see actual results. Simply stated, with Feng Shui we are enhancing and igniting the good Chi and deflecting or eliminating the bad Chi!

Eliminating Conflict and Surprise with Proper Bed Placement

By Sharda Chaitanya

This bedroom is a perfect example for what not to do - it illustrates the opposite of proper placement. I was glad to have found it for that reason, and because it is the kind of arrangement that is easily remedied, and by doing so, can avoid a myriad of obstacles in the resident's life.

The primary thing - well, two exactly - are the placement of the bed and the way the door is opening towards it. This causes not one, but two blind spots for the resident. The other faux pas here is the way the door further blocks the view. Even if the door were not slamming into the bed, and was hinged on the other side, it would not make a difference. The way it is now, whoever sleeps here would very likely be wrought with unexpected and unpleasant issues in his/her life.

Restored Barn With Exposed Beams

This renovated barn is beautiful at first sight and has all the earmarks of originality, but when viewed from a Feng Shui perspective, the issues are quite obvious.

Beams, any kind, in any place no matter where it is, are something we would do our best to avoid. This room is an extreme example of overly-exposed beams. The overhead beams are cutting across the ceiling, creating a negative energy. The chi of the room is divided in an abrupt manner, causing an interuption in the flow of energy. The interuption would have a negative impact of the persons living there, most likely headaches and relationship problems.

My Mission

I believe there exists a direct connection between how we live and our personal relationship to the planet. What we do to our immediate environment, how we choose to live, what kinds of things we value and gain support from, all speak to our place in the world. My mission is to awaken people to the significance of our role in creating a better world. Everything we do or think or feel is reflected back to us. Feng Shui is simply a way of doing which is designed for positive results; it infuses cheerful and uplifting Chi into our homes and work places. What we gain in fulfillment and nurturance from our Feng Shui choices reverberates beyond our four walls - a symbiosis is established and harmony is restored.

The Why and What of Blue Moon Feng Shui

This blog is a place where I want to educate and inform readers about Feng Shui. I will write about the subject and use examples for what I think is useful and important. I began this blog on February 18, 2013, and I am adding content as I go along. I hope you find Feng Shui to be fun and bring renewal into your lives. Perhaps over time some things might repeat themselves, but that is okay because the image or photo that I draw from will be unique. one from the other.

Please understand that the explanations offered here are not a substitute for an on-sight Feng Shui consultation. These are guidelines that give the reader a sense of how we might look at something from a Feng Shui perspective. An actual consultation takes into account a great many details that can only be determined by being in the physical space.

A very important aspect of analyzing a home or office is determining the quality of Chi, or energy, that permeates any given area. This is done because the consultant knows what to look for, and understands how different aspects are affecting the greater whole. The furniture and objects, the architecture and the floorplan, in a room or a lot or a house, affect the greater whole. As a creative Intuitive, I work largely with my intutition to assess where the strengths and weaknesses are placed and why they are there. I am guided by sources of Light, whose benevolent presence works through me.

Feng Shui is a healing tool, it is a modality of diagnosing the pathology of an environment and works towards remedying any imbalances in the Chi of the space. Feng Shui works because it incorporates the individual into the assessment of the energy - you are where you live and work. Our environments reflect back to us ourselves - it is a continual exchange of live-force energy that must be replenished. Not unlike our physical energy, our homes and work spaces are living, breathing expressions of the macrocosm. When you take care of your environments, the exchange of energy becomes heightened and you are better able to express yourself. You begin to embody your authenticity and therefore move through your life in a more relaxed manner. Feng Shui sets out to put more of you in your life, and support your path for your highest fulfillment.
