What I Learned At The London Feng Shui Conference – Part 1

I’ve just returned from a most remarkable Feng Shui conference in London, where I heard eight (8!!) high-quality Feng Shui presentations in just one day.

Here are the first of my top takeaways from a fantastic day, which I hope you will find useful as well :)

* Every space, occupied or not, is packed with energy — the energy of past inhabitants and their experiences, the energy of the land underneath the property, and so on.

* The concepts of Yin & Yang have been applied throughout architectural history to create a sense of wholeness and balance in buildings.

You can see this in such iconic buildings as Chartres Cathedral, as shown by Feng Shui architect Christian Kyriacou.

* Why do some cities become so mighty? Feng Shui Master Sarah McAllister explained three powerful cities: Teheran, the “overheated” capital of Iran; Kyoto, the gentle former capital of Japan; and London, whose financial strength is due to its “gathering Chi:” gentle surrounding hills and nourishing river.

* Locate the best energy in a place by finding where the oldest churches were placed!

* What are the two most important places in your life?  Your bed and your desk, because that’s where you’re likely to spend the majority of your time.

The conference was packed with these kinds of insights.
