Feng Shui Hits the Mainstream

I am so impressed with this feng shui article published on the Pottery Barn website. It’s the most honest (meaning ‘un-generic’) advice I’ve seen. They are not giving quick fixes that you can buy from them, but instead explaining the underpinning of what feng shui means.

Take a read for yourself (this has been copied verbatim from PB’s site – pics are added by me).

Want to bring new energy into your life? Give feng shui a try. While some home decor ideas focus on form or on function, feng shui house plans focus more on a spiritual, ephemeral element that can bring fresh energy and tranquility into your life. You can bring new furniture and decor into your home to suit this new approach, and you can try it with beloved favorites you already have. Whether you’re looking to make a big change or you just want to switch things up a bit for some freshness at home, feng shui is an interesting technique to try. Let’s get started!

In many ways, feng shui is more about the unseen than what you can actually see. This is design approach that works with a wide variety of different decor styles. You can use feng shui principles with ultra-mod minimalist or ornate furniture and decor. It’s not the way your stuff looks that matters in feng shui, but how you combine elements, orient pieces and create balance in a given space. Numbers are of great significance in feng shui, so combining different elements in specific quantities can be important for bringing specific types of energy into your life.

Feng shui focuses on arranging the elements of your space to take advantage of the earth’s natural energy force – or chi – based on the way you position objects relative to each other. You can use a traditional map called a Bagua to do this, or you can follow some general rules for where to place certain furniture pieces. There are different factors to consider for each room in the house, but in general, compass points and symbolic pieces such as doors, windows and mirrors are of great significance in feng shui arrangements.

“I participated in Judith’s Feng shui Webinar Spring of 2018 and found it to be extremely inspiring and informative. Judith with all her years of practicing Feng Shui has a profound knowledge of this practice with all its subtleties and nuances, yet is able to teach it in a way that is easy to apply and understand. She uses many wonderful visual examples and also asked us to participate with examples of our own which I found immensely helpful. I came away from this webinar feeling well versed in the basic principles of Feng Shui, and a certificate to show for it! I strongly recommend this course. We are lucky to have someone as experienced as Judith teaching it.”
