Site Evaluation

Feng Shui can be an invaluable tool for evaluating the land on which your new commecial building will be situated. The actual landscape that surrounds any building is analysed according to the location of the 'Four Celestial Animals'. These are not real animals but are in fact metaphors for forms and features such as trees, plants, hills, fences, rocks, other buildings and houses. We call these animals the 'Red Bird', the 'Black Tortoise', the 'Green Dragon' and the 'White Tiger' and together they form the 'Perfect Arrangement'. When a building is located within this perfect arrangement then precious energy is created and can attract good fortune for the occupants.

Fire Placement

The location of a kitchen area within a business such as a restaurant must always be carefully considered as this utilizes the element of Fire. Fire placement in our environment affects not only us as individuals, but also that of your business. In fact when Fire is correctly placed it can support the health, prosperity and growth of your business and also increase the value of your property

However if a stove or fireplace is incorrectly placed then it can bring sickness, financial problems and bad luck. Therefore it is vital to ensure that these elements are correctly placed not only in relation to the home itself, but also to the occupants.

*Analysis on the placement of fire can be included in a business consultation for an additional cost.

Annual Review

An annual analysis is quite customary throughout most of China and Asia. This can be done at any time throughout the year, but it is more beneficial to schedule one around February 4th, as this date is usually the commencement of the Chinese New Year.

The purpose of an annual audit is to assess the types of Feng Shui influences that will affect your business during the course of each year. Some years challenging energies or 'bad stars' may arrive at your main entrance or fall into your reception or office. These can bring illness, obstacles or financial difficulties and trigger other problems such as politics, lawsuits and theft. Knowing where these influences are located allows you to apply remedies, adjust your work spaces and counteract these ahead of time.
