Feng Shui is the ancient art of linking a person with his or her environment.

It gives you the possibility to create your home and workplace truly in accordance to your own wishes. It is strongest when you take in consideration your personal needs. We look at the flow in your life and how you can influence this by altering your home.

Last week I had a very interesting encounter with one of my clients. I had asked her to do some homework for me in order to better determine what it is she really wanted in her house. We had been going over the theories of Feng Shui. The how and why of the different alterations possible. Now it came to the stage where she had to work out for herself what she desired in her house and life. So I asked her to create a vision board.

A vision board is a piece of paper on which you make a collage of all the things you would like to have being material or non-material, styles you like for your house. A different kind of mood-board so to say. Making a vision board is a process that goes deeper than just cutting out pictures and sticking them to a piece of paper. You start to confront yourself with the question "is this really what I desire?" and rethink what you like and want. Something we think we do all the time, but my client proved to me the opposite.

At the next appointment we had after I asked her to do the homework, she told me that while making the vision board, she discovered that she had never asked herself what SHE really wanted, what she really needed and expected of life. She had just gone with the flow of life without asking the question: "is this what I want?" She was totally surprised by this discovery. Surprised, but also very happy to have discovered this. She can finally start making decisions based on her own free will and power!

With this knowledge we have continued working on her house in order to make it the sanctuary she desires for herself. The place where she can find the peace and quiet to make her own decisions and start living her life as she wishes it. Standing in life with full awareness. This is what Feng Shui is all about.
