Feng Shui has come a long way with many adapting it in their daily lives right from interiors to furnishings, dress to make-up and vehicles too. By adapting some basic corrections and empowering the space through appropriate symbolism, the Feng Shui of a space can be made very vibrant.

When you incorporate Feng Shui principles into your home or office décor, you are intentionally acknowledging and connecting to the subtle and profound energies in the universe, and to your karma. You open yourself to the joy and wonder of having a relationship with your surroundings.

Feng Shui brings positive results when you practice it correctly. The great Chinese Classic, I Ching has influenced the evolution of Feng Shui enormously, and this is why many Feng Shui guidelines appear similar to other Chinese practices that are also based on the same philosophy of I Ching.

Personalised, intentional decorating helps bring your energy into your space. Special attention should be placed on home décor, furnishings, and colours, for example, so that as you grow, as your aspiration and goals in life change, as your family grows, as your career changes, the environment around you continually supports who you are right now, today.
