Neo Feng Shui vs Feng shui
Feng Shui is an old science, which the Chinese people described several thousand years ago. They observed, how the energies around us in the nature and in our living areas affected us positively and negatively and they learned how yin and yang, the compass directions in relation to the living areas and the five elements (fire, earth, metal, water and wood) also have a strong effect on our lives. They divided the living area into forcefields (the Bagua map) and used many symbols and things, when they established/decorated a living area according to the principles of Feng Shui.
There exists many ways/trends within Feng Shui, and these can in principle be divided into two schools - an eastern one and a western one.
In the eastern school (called the classic or traditional Feng Shui) the remedies are e.g. Chinese astrology, mystics, the physical placement of the living area and talismans/fortune animals e.g. dragons and 3 legged frogs. In the western school there is a higher focus on, how people are affected by the surroundings and the choice of colours, lights, materials and shapes.
Neo Feng Shui a Danish developed life- and decorating philosophy has taken the essence from the old wisdom and removed all layers of religious belief, superstition, cultural influence and traditions and given us a philosophy adapted to the twenty first century.
Neo Feng Shui and Feng Shui are to understand the connection between the physical structures and how we flourish and develop. With Neo Feng Shui you yourself can influence your life, your wellbeing and your development in an active way. By adjusting the things that influences you in a room, it is possible to use the environments in a conscious way, so that you will be supported in your personal development and work for the desired outer and inner changes.
Neo Feng Shui is not about fashion, but is about creating wellbeing, development and success in your home or in your business. All suggestions and solutions that are given in a Konsultation are individual, because we all are on different levels of developments and we have different needs and wishes in life.

Utilizing the Tools of Feng Shui - The Bagua
Shape has an effect on the flow of energy and balance. Hence the Bagua, used like a map can be applied to your plot of land, your house, your rooms, your furniture and even your business and prosperity in life. The Bagua is a most fair and practical way of applying the philosophical principles of the I Ching or what is also referred to as "The Book of Changes" to Feng Shui.
From time immortal, the Chinese have taken to consult and ponder the I Ching for its measures and insights into the very nature of people, places things and interpersonal relationships. Other cultures may have used wizards and astrology. The Chinese used the "Book of Changes ", which we know its Chinese language term "The I Ching".
It can be said that the very basis of I Ching directs one towards an understanding of what are called and technically described as simply " trigrams ". Trigrams can be said to indicate the degree of yin and yang. Trigrams in their simplicity explain and demonstrate the ideas of constant change. Not only that but the change illustrated by these trigrams is constant and cyclical- that is not only can you count on it to change but also to change in a similar predictable manner - that is if you live , or persevere long enough. The statement 'what goes around comes around" is a testament and example of this philosophy and way of life. In its simplest explanation the octagonal shape of the eight trigrams with unbroken lines represent yang, and broken lines represent yin and is called a or the "Bagua".
Thus the Bagua represents the eight directions - the eight trigrams of the I Ching. Each of these represents the eight life situations - prosperity, fame, relationships, creative energy, travel and helpful people, career, knowledge, family and health - with the taiji (tai chi) in the middle, represented best and most simply and straightforwardly the yin/yang symbol of complimentary opposites.
How can the Bagua best be used and its teachings and insights used?
By placing the Bagua over a plan of your home or room you can best identify your own particular problem areas. To apply the Bagua effectively you will need a plan of your home drawn to scale. First step in the process is to designate the "center" and the "front" areas of your spaces. . The" front door" can be said to be qi enters the position of the front door will help you determine where the Bagua should be placed.
Most likely you will find with time and experience that t he front door will generally seem to fall in one of three areas. What these are all depends on where the door is located physically and thus in what general location the door or gateway faces. If it found in the center portion, then the direction will be towards enhancing career as well as career choices. If the door is located to the right of center then this entranceway will be the gateway to travel, perhaps even sale of your property and the move to a new and enhanced residence. Lastly as an overall good omen if the you find that this door faces in a direction to the left - this is a very good omen. You will be rewarded with great knowledge and intuition.
It can be generally said that few houses or rooms are perfectly square. Hence if you attempt to impose the Bagua over your careful planning you can thus generally identify the problems that are currently associated with unusual as well as unbalanced shapes. For example a missing corner could indicate particular difficulties. If it is the corner which you consider associated with career and career themes, then it could mean problems or difficulties in the workplace. If it's a health corner - then it could mean ongoing illness and illnesses - say for example a bout of irritable bowel syndrome , or depression and anxiety which might be best dealt with a vacation to a serene lakeside cottage or chalet.
Any of the general cures - like mirrors, wind chimes or crystals - can be used to make your adjustments. These adjustments can be said to be all interchangeable. If you are having financial problems it is best to pay attention to the wealth corner of your house. Often financial difficulties are the source of many a family's and marriages inherent problems and difficulties. This can be said to be more than a truism.

What is Feng Shui ?
Feng Shui is made of two words. The first is wind while the second is earth. Its teachings are based on Taoist vision and understanding of nature on the belief that the land is alive and is filled with energy. This in turn could make a kingdom successful or bring it to its downfall.
Aside from the water and the wind, Feng Shui is influenced by the theory of 3 other elements namely wood, fire and metal. It is this that also guides Chinese astrological sciences including the times, dates of birth and years as well as colors, seasons, directions and the planets.
The main tools for Feng Shui are the compass and the Ba-Gua. The Ba-Gua is an octagonal shaped grid containing the symbols of the I Ching which is the ancient oracle on which this is based.
Those who believe in Feng Shui say that those who know the Bagua of their home will be able to understand specific areas of their life.
The feng shui compass is also called lo-pan. This is used to access deeper information about a site or a building. It consists of bands of concentric rings arranged around the magnetic needle. "Lo" means "everything" and "pan" means "bowl", which can be interpreted as the key to the mysteries of the universe.
Through the years, several different schools of feng shui have emerged. If you are able to master the basic level, it is said that you will start to see powerful results which could be to your advantage both at home and in business.
Those who practice Feng Shui see it as a double edged sword because it can be mutually productive and also destructive.
In a productive cycle, fire produces earth which produces metal which produces water which produces wood and the fire again. In a destructive cycle, wood destroys earth which destroys water which destroys fire which destroys metal and then destroys wood.
To give you an idea what this all means, let’s say you were born on a fire year. Too much water in the home is not good because water destroys fire. On the other hand, if you put a lot of wooden décor into your home, then things will be good because wood produces fire. Aside from that, experts say that you will more likely prosper if you sleep on the south side of the house or apartment.
But the ordinary Joe does not have time to understand that. This is why many people these days consult Feng Shui experts when they are building an office or their home. By being able to have someone who understands these cycles, harmony and productivity is achieved.
So what is Feng Shui? For those who don’t believe in it, simply one way of making sure that you will get good fortune. As for those who take it seriously, it is what creates the essence of life around us. There must always be a harmonious balance between these elements so that you can live a healthy and meaningful life.
