What is Feng Shui?: Feng Shui is a skill that has been practiced for over 4000 years in the Far East to create prosperity, harmony and balance, in homes as well as places of work. It works on the essential energy of a property to provide support and helps you achieve your dreams.; Find out more about Feng Shui
What is Needed for a Consultation?: We will need a floor plan of the property or map of the plot to be assessed. This can be hand drawn as long as it is, at least, roughly to scale.; Find out more about Consultations
Do I have to believe in it for it to work?: No, unlike the "western" approach to Feng Shui, which is more about believing in the changes you make, Imperial Feng Shui focuses on balancing the energy that is there. This means that, as long as you undertake the recommendations as advised, you will be altering the energy and this will create improvements.
How long will the effects last?: Generally speaking the recommendations take into account the energy until the next energy shift in 2017.
Will it cost a lot to change my home/property?: It is difficult to tell until we see your property. Sometimes there might need to be changes to the planting in the garden if you have one, other times a room may need balancing with a certain wall colour. We believe that sometimes the simplest and cheapest recommendations are often the most effective and we keep in mind the cost implications of any changes we recommend.
How long does a consultation take?: This depends on the size of the property as well as how easy it is for us to find the solution to balancing the energy. Sometimes a smaller property is in fact trickier as it has more demands on it as to its uses. However a consultation usually takes anything from around 3 hours for a 2 or 3 bedroomed property.
Do I have to be present during the consultation?: We always recommend that you are present during the consultation. Experience has shown us that people understand the recommendations more clearly and have a better opportunity to ask questions if they are present. Misunderstandings at this stage can mean that the recommendations are not carried out properly.
Will you be explaining how it works?: There is so much esoteric theory behind real Feng Shui that it can confuse some one coming to it for the first time. It is our focus during the consultation to provide the best service possible in order to create a supportive environment to you. If we spend our time explaining the theory, we will be unable to do this. However we know of several people who do teach the subject and can always provide names for anyone interested.
Is Feng Shui a religion?: No. Feng Shui deals with the essential energy around us and has no bearing on your personal religious beliefs.
Do I have to take notes?: No, we provide a written report of our recommendations as a follow up to the consultation.
If the wood element relates to the east, does this mean that I have to have green in the east position in my room?: No. There is a misunderstanding, enhanced by many books, that each area needs its basic element represented there. This would make for a rainbow coloured room and does not take into account more detailed aspects of the essential energy of a room.
