Feng Shui and How It Works For You

Having studied Economics, worked 15 years in Information Technology, loved Mathematics and being an adamant chess player, the last thing I expected to become was a Feng Shui Consultant.

To be totally honest, I was even ignorant to what exactly Feng Shui is; I had a vague idea that you had to move the furniture around so the space is better used and the energy in a space flows more freely. And I was right, in a way. What I had no idea about was ‘how powerful’ Feng Shui is. How your home or office can literally determine your health, wealth and relationships.

It took a couple of changes in my house that were followed by life-changing events to make me start reading and testing further. The results were the biggest surprise of my life. My brain could not grasp that by painting a wall, adding plants or making use of water could create such extraordinary changes in just a few days.

My strongest belief, that your mind and will power are the sole creators of your world and reality, was shaken. The evidence was too significant, too powerful, too obvious to doubt. Yes, our environment is also one of the creators of your life. It does affect us; more than we can grasp with our mind. It is energy flowing.

A favourable environment can make a big difference: how we feel and the chances we get in life. Some houses are destined to give their residents this extra luck in one or more areas one year and more challenges the next. It has to do with being open to Feng Shui, its principles, formulas and tools and subsequently how open we are to new things and put them to the test. Taking care of our homes and working spaces in terms of energy and balance is as essential as taking care of our body. We all notice differences in our well being in differnet houses. We are all inteconnected; our unconscious determines where we live for a reason; and it is our conscious that can decide for maximum enforcement of positive winds blowing our way. 

Studying in WOFS (World of Feng Shui) with the world's No 1 Feng Shui writer and totally fun Lillian Too in Malaysia gave me my certification and a new dimension in thinking.

Feng Shui knowledge has been the most unexpected blessing. I love combing Feng Shui with the unconscious' symbolism and NLP principles for deeper understanding and long-lasting benefits. 

Going one step back; What is exactly Feng Shui?

It is an ancient Chinese practice that harmonises the energy between people and their environment. The term Feng Shui literally means wind and water and is all about the right balance in energy in every place in a home or office, shopping center or building. We have all entered a house or office and got an amazing feeling of peace and some other times, we felt awkward and unpleasant.

It is incredible how our environment influences our lives. Simple things such as re-adjusting colors, shapes and materials can actually bring results we have been pursuing for years, all within days.

At the core of Feng Shui is the perfect balance between the 5 elements: water, wood, fire, earth and metal as well as yin and yang—male and female energies.

Both exterior as well as interior factors can have an influence in all life spheres.
There are thousands of basic rules as well as formulas that make every home or office a unique combination of parameters to be studied and dealt with to improve the lives of the residents.

So, are you unsuccessfully looking for love or cannot see eye to eye with your love partner? Trouble at work or financially challenged? The root of your problems may be in the design of your home.

Many famous hotel chains and shopping malls have been using Feng Shui to optimise their business, utilising incredible wisdom that has been proven for thousands of years. Nowadays, everyone can have their home checked by investing very little in comparison to what they can have in return: a space that supports all their dreams and goals and protects them from misfortunes, accidents, ill health, constant arguments and troubled relationships.

A Feng Shui Consultation starts by visiting the space, home or office, taking directions and measurements, and discussing with the client about their desires or concerns. Then, a full report, unique to the specific home or business office is written with suggested changes, modifications, and additions in furniture placement, colors, and use of rooms by residents. Many different data, formulas and rules are taken into consideration and the report is discussed in detail during a second visit. A third visit is generally desirable to discuss the impact of the changes. Eleni Sarantinou lives and works in Dubai and also travels to most countries in the Middle East (Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran) with some extra cost depending on the distance and specific arrangement of the Consultation. Eleni travels very often to Greece and the Netherlands and does Consultations on specific periods of time without extra cost.
