Feng Shui

Feng Shui looks at the objects and things placed in your living environment and how they can affect your own personal energy flow. This personal energy flow affects how you think, act and what you do, consequently affecting how well you perform and succeed in your personal and professional life.

Feng Shui was developed over 3000 years ago in Ancient China. Essentially, it is the secret to how to balance the energy, anywhere, to assure the health and wellbeing of the people there. In Chinese, Feng means Wind and Shui means Water. In Chinese Culture, wind and water are linked with good health so good Feng Shui equals good fortune and oppositely, bad Feng Shui can bring misfortune and bad luck. 

The Ancient Chinese believed that the energy the land holds (Chi) can either make or break a kingdom. Feng Shui was created from the Taoist vision and understanding of nature. The energies have to flow harmfully and in alignment with each other to create the good Feng Shui, or, so the kingdom doesn't break. 

There are two main ways of introducing Feng Shui into your home. There is the the Tibetan way, which is the most simplest and the Compass Method which is the traditional method. 

Here at Quest, we advise on the Tibetan form of Feng Shui; however neither methods are wrong. 

For example, if you are standing with your back to your front door, the far left hand corner would be your wealth corner - a perfect place to put iching coins or money frogs - and the far right hand corner would be your relationship corner - brilliant for placing photos of loved ones or items to symbolize love and happiness. This applies to any room in your house, so long as you are at the door.
