How it works
When a house or building is created, the time and space is captured that’s the reason why year of construction of the house is important for accurate analysis of the house. The energy or Wi (pronounced as Chee) that’s created and the flow determines weather it will bring prosperity or stagnation in the house.
Another aspect in Feng Shui is the Ming Gua of the occupants which is calculated based on the year of birth and the gender. The Ming Gua determines the best directors suitable for the person. This Ming Gua gives your personal trigram, as this is what affects your personality and your health.
As a consultant, when I vest the place, I analyse the interaction of Qi in the environment and the Ming Gua of all the occupants. If the occupants have a scaled floor plan of the house/office. I would use that and if not, I will measure the space and draw a floor plan.
Next Step is creating the chart for the house, and to recommend solutions to enhance the positive area and to diminish all the negative places in the house through shapes, colors and five elements.
