Feng ShuiSome may say that Feng Shui isn’t necessarily a ‘therapy’ but we at Seek A Therapy would argue that it is a form of complementary therapy. It is a complex system of ancient philosophies that’s core aim is to enhance your wellbeing inside a space (be it a home, an office, or a garden). It does this by looking to create a good flow of energy or Chi within that space. Chi, in feng shui, is referring to what they believe is the universal energy present in and around us. By altering your environment you can improve the flow of this energy and thus enhance your wellbeing and prosperity.

Before you seek a Feng Shui specialist, we at Seek a Therapy want to help answer your questions and concerns surrounding the practise in order to help you select the right practitioner for you. That is why, on this page, we have included some of the most common questions a person may have before speaking to a Geng Shui specialist.


What is Feng Shui?

It’s an ancient Chinese philosophy that helps people find balance in the way they live their lives by harmonizing their living spaces with nature through spatial design. The key is qi (pronounced “chee”), or the energy that connects all living things. Through the implementation of specific design principles that promote auspiciousness, feng shui is said to allow your energy to flow uninhibited through your home, improving your overall quality of life.

Feng Shui experts believe that to allow qi to flow effortlessly through your environment you must follow principles set out in its philosophy. For example, dictating the precise place to set your furniture (never put a bed under a window!) to what color to paint your front door. While different feng shui schools offer many variations on these principles, there are several commonalities that form the basis of the philosophy. If you watch the video above it goes into some of the principles in a basic way.
