DESTIG MAGAZINE - NINA KATI DISCUSSES The purpose and use of authentic feng shui.

The purpose of authentic feng shui is to first establish the information required to match people to their homes and workplaces within the time cycles and energy rhythms of nature, as this is how to ensure that people will have happy, healthy, wealthy, and harmonious lives.

​Authentic feng shui is an accurate science that is used to encourage health, luck, opportunities and prosperity, and as such has a direct impact on positively transforming the lives of people, and of the spaces they live and work in.

It is important to determine the energies of a building according to its date of construction, location, plot, aspect, and so on, as well as the personal energies of the occupants who live and/or work there, established using their birthdates. The person most affected by the misalignment or imbalance of energy in a home will be the breadwinner, so they must take top priority. The order in which to tackle the issues in the lives of the occupants is health first (health is wealth), followed by relationships (for support) and then finances (if your health and your relationships are good, then fortunes will follow).

Authentic feng shui priorities, timing and energies
The five factors that most impact on the energies in the home include the front door and hall where all the energy enters the building and affects all aspects of the occupants’ lives.
​
A front door should face a good direction for the occupants, be aligned to a certain compass degree reading, and not be directly aligned to create a taboo situation (such as lined up directly with a back door with nothing between them to slow down or stop the energy passing through too quickly).

By booking an authentic feng shui consultation each year, homeowners can avoid taboos, stimulating misaligned energies that occur according to certain time cycles in different sectors of the home, as well as the potential for issues brought about by energy imbalances. These issues include sleeplessness or waking up exhausted, no focus/concentration and memory problems, accidents and illness, difficulty in relationships and a lack of family harmony, struggles with money and lack of opportunities, career stagnation and no financial security.

The authentic feng shui consultation process
A site visit by a consultant who checks factors such as those mentioned previously, draws up personal energy charts for every member of the household, conducts an analysis of the property using a lo pan compass, works out the static energies chart of the building based on the sectors (as well as the moving energies chart of the building), and then checks for taboos that require correction – layer upon layer of data that requires concentration, accuracy and expert knowledge.

A good practitioner may use many schools of practice. The time it takes to do the job thoroughly will depend on the number of people involved, the size of the building, the analysis of the information and the proposed recommendations and changes, the seriousness of the situation, and whether the occupants are self-employed or running a business. The consultant must also consider the health and nourishment or wellness of, and the inter-re- lationship or oneness with, the building and its occupants, to create balance and harmony between both.

​Changes must be carefully proposed as everything has a knock-on, domino-like effect,
so it is important for an authentic feng shui practitioner to impress the need for their client to apply these recommendations in a holistic way for optimum results to be achieved. The outcome is then more effective and measurable. The aim is to help the occupants to leap forward in all aspects of their lives - anything from 20% to as much as 80%. Naturally, the more positive the transformation, the better for everyone involved!
