Event: | Feng Shui: The Eastern Sense of Space, Environment and Well-Being |
| Date: | May 1st, 2009 (2 days) |
The 2,600 year old Chinese tradition of acupuncture is now recognized by medical practitioners as a process for enabling the chi (energy) to flow more freely through the invisible channels or meridians in our body. The flow of chi through the body's energy channels affects our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. In an analogous manner, feng shui enhances the flow of chi through our homes and workplaces, leading to an increased sense of well-being, and a reawakening of the sacred in our everyday lives. As a practice, feng shui emerged from the teachings of the I Ching, or "Book of Changes", which lies at the heart of Taoism. Taoism, is a philosophy that reflects on the inner world of being through the higher self. Drawing from the insights of the I Ching, is imperative for the feng shui consultant to be most effective. Specifically, Spear's states:
"... the I Ching deals with the spiritual dimensions inside us, the place where we can all experience our common unity. It operates from the realization that we are each a reflection of each other within a universal source, and prompts us to ask, 'How can we improve things for the mutual benefit of all?' When feng shui is practiced from this premise, it is a unique approach to interior design." - William Spear
