Form and environment
Landscape, roads, neighbouring buildings, entrances, floor plans and the actual use of a place are considered as a whole.
Classical Feng Shui
What Feng Shui actually analyses
Feng Shui examines the effects of our environment on our lives — psychologically, physically and in the way we make decisions, act and relate to others. A short definition would be: doing the right thing at the right time in the right place.
Feng Shui belongs to the so-called Chinese Five Arts: Mountain, Medicine, Destiny, Divination and Forms. Feng Shui is assigned to the category of Forms. It examines the physiognomy of the earth’s surface, the contours of the landscape and the immediate surroundings of a living or working space.
Orientation and direction
The orientation of a building, entrance, sleeping place or workplace can be important. Classical Feng Shui therefore measures, checks and interprets.
Quality of time
A space is not only a static object. The timing of construction, use, change or decision can also be decisive.
Space, time, person and decision
Classical Feng Shui considers space, time, direction, person and concrete question together. A house may support one person and be less suitable for another. An office may fit a certain development phase — or quietly make processes more difficult.
The question is not: “Which colour brings luck?” The question is: Which environment, direction, usage and timing support what is meant to develop?
Yin and Yang, movement and change
The interaction of Yin and Yang plays a central role. From this interaction arise movement, development and change. Feng Shui is not about decorating a space artificially, but about recognising, organising and using existing qualities.
Feng Shui can help direct Chi in a way that better harmonises people, spaces and goals. This applies to private homes as well as companies, offices, locations and important decisions.
Classical Feng Shui is not decoration
Many people associate Feng Shui with lucky objects, colours, indoor fountains or so-called wealth corners. These ideas usually come from simplified modern systems and have little to do with classical Feng Shui.
Classical Feng Shui works more precisely: with environment, direction, time, building structure, usage and the people involved. It is not about giving everyone the same rules, but about analysing the specific situation.
Observation instead of judgement
An important part of my work is observation. Many problems arise because we judge situations too quickly, compare them or link them to expectations. From a Feng Shui perspective, it is more useful to observe first: What is present? What repeats? What supports? What blocks?
This attitude creates distance and clarity. It helps to start where change is possible: with one’s own decision, one’s own environment and conscious handling of the situation.
