Feng shui concepts
Even though we are proponents of the Pyramid school of feng shui, we study,
appreciate and value all schools, including traditional feng shui from China and
other Asian countries along with various Western approaches.
No matter which school one prefers, there are certain principles of feng shui
that all schools agree upon. These philosophical underpinnings never change. The
basics are:
- Tao – Living in “The Tao” (translated “The
Way”) means that we should never go against the laws of nature; instead we
should attempt to live in harmony with them. It also means recognizing our
interconnections to the natural world, our families, friends, communities, the
universe and a higher power.
- Yin/Yang – is the theory of how
complementary opposites comprise a whole. Just as daylight (yang) and night time
(yin) are opposites, both are needed to compose a twenty-four hour day. In our
environments, it is important to have aspects of both. Yin is described as dark,
quiet, still, and small while yang is light, with sound, active, and big.
- Ch'i – is referred to as “the breath of life”
or vitality. Some refer to ch’i as a feeling that permeates throughout a space;
however it is best defined as any influence that can be experienced through our
five senses.
- Five Elements – Feng shui defines the world using elements of nature:
Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. Each element has its own influence and
identifying features.

“I have been practicing classic feng shui for over five years. I had a consultant come out to my home yearly but I could never seem to get a permanent job. I had to settle for the very unstable contract work. A few months after making the changes Sylvia suggested, I landed a permanent job – my first permanent job in over six years. Thanks Sylvia!"

“The positive effects of the changes recommended were immediate and dramatic. In the midst of an intense and difficult life transition, I awoke in my room every morning feeling glad; like I was living in a novel I had not read yet…full of limitless possibilities.”

“At first the experience was overwhelming because the process identified deep-rooted issues I had. But as I made changes, everything fell into place. This experience was so much more then rearranging furniture. “
