In the science of ancient art of Feng Shui, it is said that the flow of energy in a building should be without much obstacles and free flowing. However, this is not always possible due to many factors. The health sector which is the centre of a building does get afflicted when the energy gets blocked and this causes frequent illness to the occupants.

Feng Shui recommends many methods to harness good energy and usher in prosperity into our lives. The Feng Shui analysis of a building is a complex piece of calculations, compass directions, analysing the interaction of the five elements and cause and effect of the afflictions on the occupants and the building.

Classical Feng Shui analysis says that energy (chi) flowing in a building gathers more towards the centre while originating from all the corners of the building. Hence, the centre sector is akin to the human heart which supports all the other human organs by ticking alive.

The Feng Shui compass itself is a unique, accurate and a valuable tool which reveals important aspects of the analysis of a specific place. The compass directions are classified further on the basis of the Chinese zodiac sign and the twelve animals are distributed around the dial such that each of them occupies a specific sector, element and aspiration.

Our prosperity is really a reflection of our thoughts formed by the perceptions of the outer world. Hence harmonising our inner self and our immediate surroundings can open the channels to achieve greater prosperity and abundance in our lives.

Creating a harmonious space and environment that exudes harmony is one of the key dynamics behind this age-old practice. It’s no surprise that we would most often be faced with bad energy due to our immediate surrounding and environment around our building. These may give rise to ill-fortune in the form of relationship, wealth, legal entanglement or illness.

We are reflections of our personal environment because we absorb the energy which surrounds us. Our mind and body reacts and responds to the energies we are surrounded as this energy flows around us and through us.

As we continually interact with our personal space, it has a profound influence on the quality of our lives both on a conscious and subconscious level. It is a mirror reflection of who you are and your life circumstances. The internal environment that we live in plays an integral part in creating the external aspects of our lives.

To create a harmonious space with good energy flow, we can bring in simple décor and changes in our space which in turn empowers the Feng Shui and well being.

• Paintings or pictures of cranes with pine tree as background signifies peace, good health and happiness.
• Activate the dragon energy by placing a figurine in the East sector of your home or living room to bring in good health and harmony.
