"I love working with you!
You explain the flow of energy so well and how a well laid out plan that reduces clutter
and is organized will make our lives so much easier.
You have helped us with the feng shui of our home
and now are working with us on the layout for a new cabin on the island.
The feng shui advice on a good positioning for the cabin and a good flow of energy within the structure
was wonderful. Having a skilled feng shui person like you show us early in the layout stage the best way to go really makes a big difference. Thank you!"

The Theory and History of Feng Shui
The feng shui compass (pictured above) is used in the feng shui analysis to access deeper levels of energy information on any given space.	Feng Shui is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals the ways to balance the energies of the environment to assure health, wealth and good fortune for people inhabiting it.
Feng means "wind" and shui means "water" (pronounced fung-shway). In Chinese culture, gentle wind and clear water have always been associated with good harvest and health, thus "good feng shui" came to mean good fortune, while "bad feng shui" came to mean hardship and misfortune. Feng Shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly on the idea that the land is alive and filled with Chi, or energy. The ancient Chinese believed that the land's energy could either make or break the kingdom, so to speak. The theories of yin and yang, as well as the five elements, which are some of the basic aspects of a feng shui analysis, also come from Taoism. The main tools used in a feng shui analysis are the Compass and the Ba-Gua. The Ba-Gua is an octagonal map or grid containing the symbols of the I Ching, the ancient oracle on which Feng Shui is based. The feng shui compass, also called lo-pan, is used to access deeper information about the site or the building. It consists of bands of concentric rings arranged around the magnetic needle. Lo means "everything" and pan means "bowl", which can be interpreted as the key to mysteries of the universe. Although some levels of feng shui are easy to understand and apply, the "core" knowledge takes years of study. Just like traditional Chinese medicine, feng shui knowledge is very deep and complex.
