The Feng Shui Collective

It wasn’t very long ago that I finally answered the question of how I got into feng shui. In fact, it wasn’t me that found feng shui, but it was the other way around.

The Feng Shui Collective

Feng shui found me! For nearly 30 years, feng shui has been woven through the tapestry of my life, weaving itself through my careers in higher education and healthcare. It’s been a delightful addition to my life because it’s created positive change, while at the same time, elevating the energy of both my living and working spaces.

As I’ve continued my practice and study of feng shui. I’ve been able to introduce my friends and colleagues to this natural science and have delighted in the amazing coincidences that have subsequently occurred in their lives. Now, when I teach a workshop or visit a client, I affirm for them, that, like me, they didn’t find feng shui, but rather feng shui has tapped them on the shoulder. And, gentle reader, let me assure you that now, feng shui has tapped you on the shoulder too! 

The natural science of feng shui

Feng shui has been around for thousands of years, taking many twists and turns throughout the centuries. In the beginning, farmers in rural China would engage a feng shui master to identify auspicious locations for dwellings and crops in order to create a harmonious and abundant life. Feng shui is considered one of the eight branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine and there are many different schools of feng shui. We practice the Black Hat Sect or BTB school of feng shui, and use a tool called the Bagua Map to identify energy centers (called gua’s) in a home.
