Understanding Feng Shui

I first came across Feng Shui a couple of years ago after reading about the benefits of the practice on the home - basically bringing a home into harmony.

I decided at the time to put it into practice and went about placing certain elements like coloured ribbons in the bathroom (to be honest I don't remember what it was meant to do!). Needless to say, it did not work for me because I saw no benefits so I decided to let it go. 

However, I was still intrigued and wanted to understand it more. So when I came across Alan Stirling who is a Feng Shui Master, I contacted him and asked if he would consider being a guest on the podcast, and to my delight, he agreed.

As Feng Shui is shrouded in secrecy, anyone can say that it is Feng Shui, but that doesn’t make it right – and doesn’t mean you will get positive results.

In this episode, Alan demystifies Feng Shui and explains how it work.

About
 
Alan first came across the words Feng Shui in a completely unrelated fictitious novel, which he bought to take my mind off of the war zone environment at a Middle East airport on his return from a business trip to the Gulf.

Just seeing these two words sparked something within him and he began his quest to discover its secrets. Returning to the UK, he enquired at several libraries where he was told that it was possibly connected to either Origami… or the Kama Sutra. Not even close!

In this same year of 1986 Black Hat Feng Shui was beginning in the USA, which he tried himself for a while. Although the results were not sustainable long term, he had a fascinating glimpse into true Feng Shui.

However, he instinctively knew this was just the tip of the iceberg, and felt there was so much more information missing, he so decided to learn to read and even write Chinese, to discover these hidden secrets.

Although Alan studied with Feng Shui masters from east and west, his real training began during a fateful day that happened quite by accident…

As fate had it, he helped a random stranger whose gratitude led to an introduction to her father, who happened to be a distinguished Master of True Feng Shui.

His name was Master Fu and his life would never be the same again.

By showing virtue to a stranger, Master Fu decided to teach Alan exactly how to unravel the century’s old secrets of True Feng Shui.

Having recovered from an almost fatal illness, he was a very humble and unassuming man, who valued virtues such as discretion and humility above all. Perhaps it was this new lease of life that helped him to decide to teach Alan.

Alan opened the Feng Shui School of Excellence in 1997.
