Feng Shui Chic and ALTERNATIVE DESIGN Healing

If you were to take a moment to see the world from an Asian perspective, you would find that it is a “full sensory” experience. It would be necessary to call upon each of your five senses—sight, sound, taste, touch and smell—to interpret the world around you in five subtly different ways. Collectively, this perspective teaches, these vastly different interpretations allow you to experience the world in a way that is balanced and complete.

The “language” of each of these senses is unique. Just as you cannot determine the taste of a lemon by observing its color, you cannot fully experience the world without employing all of your senses. Once you have seen a lemon’s bright yellow skin; inhaled its clean, sharp citrus odor; felt the burn of citric acid on your lips and tongue; experienced its intense sour taste; and, as a result, shuddered and gasped with the intensity of it all—then, in the Asian sense, only then do you “know” a lemon.

Asian culture has provided for this knowing in a variety of ways. The centuries-old Chinese art of Feng Shui, for example, teaches that the manipulation of carefully chosen sensory “inputs” in one’s living and working environments has a direct effect on one’s personal “output”, i.e., emotions, attitude, relationships (which in turn, have a direct effect on happiness, prosperity and success). In Western terms, you might say, “Balance in, balance out.”

The literal translation of Feng Shui is “Wind and Water.” The perceptual translation, however, requires a cultural understanding of Wind and Water as forces of natural energy, an appreciation of how the culture demands a connection to the natural world, and an acceptance of how Yin and Yang provide the metaphor for proper balance.

In the Eastern tradition I work with clients to achieve balance in their personal and professional “spaces” to give them the opportunity to live balanced, harmonious and productive lives—and, therefore, making it possible for each to realize his or her fullest potential. This is a difficult concept in the West, where personal balance is understood in psychological terms. It may make more sense to you, then, to understand Feng Shui as the “Psychology of Space”, I have created my Color “U” Energy Program for better health, wealth and glamour.

Feng Shui is not about luck or superstition or religion. It is about intent: living purposefully, mindfully, and richly in order to achieve harmony and balance. Those who embrace the principles of Feng Shui are welcoming the possibility of transformation and change to their lives.

My Color “U” Energy Program is not a passive experience. I will not ‘do” something to a living or working environment (cause) that magically gives the client prosperity or health or good fortune (effect). Regrettably, the faddish, self-serving interpretations of

Feng Shui with its promises of instant gratification have led many Westerners to conclude that it is possible to reap the benefits of Feng Shui without the active commitment to change that makes personal transformation possible.

You know that a personal trainer cannot “do” physical fitness to you or magically give you a handsome physical body. He or she can give you tools, advice and inspiration that will make those things accessible to you should you choose to do the work. With Feng Shui Chic it is just the same. You alone are responsible for the thinking, the being and day-to-day living requirements of transformational healing. You alone are the creator, the doer, the seeker. You alone must choose to do the work—it cannot be done for you. If your world view is narrow or if you feel that your life lacks meaning, I will work to promote the flow of sun and water energy to create a spiritual “rainbow” in your living space. You, in turn, must be willing to receive a full-spectrum of life’s experiences.

As a Feng Shui Chic practitioner your consultation may challenge the way you think, view and respond to the world. This may validate what you know in your heart to be true but have trouble acknowledging about yourself. Regardless, I will always encourage you to make carefully considered changes, each of which is part of a momentum-building strategy designed to assist you with the creation of “Heaven on Earth” within.
