Debunking the Myths: What Feng Shui Really Is (and Isn’t!)

There are so many misconceptions about what Feng Shui REALLY is, so I felt inspired to write this post to help clarify what you may think it is versus what it actually is.


Feng Shui Is Not:


  • A one-size-fits-all solution or a fixed grid of energy applied uniformly to every home or office.

  • About having a throw rug in your lounge room or whether your dining chairs are upholstered or not.

  • Manifesting – Although having good Feng Shui in your home allows opportunities to present themselves, enabling you to thrive and achieve.

  • A religion – Every faith can practice it.

  • About feeling bad for having laundry sitting on a chair for a few days.

  • Just about getting rid of bad energy.

  • Magic – You can’t wave a wand to fix the energy of an area.

  • Superstition – It is a science based on energy flow and calculations.

  • About having a Zen Garden and playing meditation music.



What Feng Shui Really Is


Everything in this world is energy, including you, vibrating at its own unique frequency. Energy is never stagnant; it constantly vibrates and moves, shaping our experiences and interactions. Just as you don’t question the electricity powering your home, Feng Shui works with an equally unseen force—energy, or Qi—that influences your environment and your life.


Think of it like tuning a radio. When you’re slightly off the right frequency, all you hear is static and noise. But when you find the perfect frequency, the sound becomes clear and harmonious. Feng Shui helps “tune” the energy in your space, allowing it to flow freely and align with your goals and aspirations.


Ultimately, Feng Shui is about creating an environment where all the energy frequencies resonate in harmony, supporting your health, relationships, and success. It’s a way of working with the unseen forces around you to bring balance, flow, and positivity into every aspect of your life.


The Science of Classical Feng Shui


In Classical Feng Shui, every home is unique. Even if the floor plan is identical, the energy map will differ based on the exact compass direction of the property. A formally trained Feng Shui Master or Consultant uses a Lo Pan compass to take a precise reading. This reading enables calculations to create the unique energy map of the property. From this map, precise formulas and recommendations are provided to balance the energy in the home.


Personalised Solutions


These recommendations often incorporate specific colours and elements into the home, introduced through homewares, artwork, and soft furnishings, as well as the strategic use of modern appliances to activate positive areas. Most importantly, these recommendations are carefully tailored to each client’s unique tastes and preferences.


The Impact of Energy


Have you ever noticed changes in your life after moving home or renovating?


  • Did your luck shift, either positively or negatively?

  • After renovations, have you experienced health, financial, or relationship issues when before these renovations’ things flowed smoothly?

  • Are things more chaotic, and have the opportunities you once had disappeared?


These changes could be linked to the energy map of your home.


Final Thoughts


Understanding what Feng Shui really is requires an open mind and a willingness to explore how energy flows within your environment.


Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice, goes far beyond simply arranging furniture or decorating a space with a throw rug. It encompasses many layers, including the landforms and the surrounding environment in which you live. At its core, Feng Shui is about balancing the energies of your surroundings to nurture your health, happiness, and prosperity. The concept of Qi (energy) lies at the heart of Feng Shui, emphasising the importance of how energy flows and interacts within a given environment.


Understanding that your space not stagnant with a collection of objects, but as a living entity that influences your emotional and physical well-being.


Once you implement the recommendations from your Feng Shui Master, you may begin to notice positive changes over time like:


  • Shifts in Room Energy: Spaces where you once felt irritable or argumentative now feel calm, inviting, and harmonious.

  • Improvements in Key Life Areas: Enhanced health, strengthened relationships, and progress in your career or financial stability.

  • Better Sleep: Restful nights and waking up feeling rejuvenated.

  • Academic Growth for Children: Noticeable improvements in focus and academic performance.


These changes reflect the powerful influence of a balanced and harmonious environment on your overall well-being and life experiences.
