Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt a sense of calm or discomfort? The ancient art of Feng Shui can help explain these sensations and guide us in creating spaces that promote harmony and well-being. Recently, I had the opportunity to experience a Feng Shui consultation using the Compass School method, and I’m excited to share my journey with you.

What is the Compass School?

Feng Shui, which translates to “wind-water,” is a traditional Chinese practice that focuses on harmonizing individuals with their surrounding environment. The Compass School, one of the two main schools of Feng Shui, utilizes the eight cardinal directions—north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest—to assess and optimize the flow of energy (qi) within a space. By taking precise compass readings, a Feng Shui practitioner can provide insights into how these directions influence different areas of our lives, such as health, wealth, relationships, and careers.

The Consultation Experience

With over 10 years of experience in Feng Shui consultations, I, Vi Torretto, approach each client with a personalized touch. As a Feng Shui specialist, Reiki Master, Access Bars facilitator, and Radionics specialist, I integrate a holistic perspective into my practice. Here’s how my recent consultation unfolded:

1. Preparation

Before the consultation, I gathered floor plans of my home and a basic understanding of the areas I wanted to improve. My consult

Then she asked me to identify specific goals, such as enhancing my career prospects, improving family relationships, or creating a more relaxing environment.

2. The Compass Reading

The consultation began with the practitioner using a Luo Pan, a traditional Feng Shui compass, to take accurate readings of my home’s main entrance and other key points. This process was fascinating to observe, as the Luo Pan is an intricate tool filled with rings of information

ions that help the practitioner interpret the energy flow.

3. Analyzing the Directions.

With the compass readings in hand, the consultant created a Bagua map, an octagonal grid that divides the space into nine sectors, each associated with a different aspect of life. Here’s a brief overview of what each direction represents:

• North: Career and life path
• Northeast: Knowledge and self-cultivation
• East: Family and health
• Southeast: Wealth and prosperity
• South: Fame and reputation
• Southwest: Love and marriage
• West: Creativity and children
• Northwest: Helpful people and travel

The center of the Bagua map, representing overall health and balance, is crucial for maintaining harmony in all areas.

4. Implementing Changes

Based on the analysis, the consultant provided personalized recommendations for each sector of my home:

• North (Career): I was advised to place a water feature, such as a small fountain or an aquarium, near the entrance to enhance career opportunities.
• Northeast (Knowledge): A bookshelf filled with my favorite books and a meditation corner were suggested to stimulate personal growth.
• East (Family): Adding vibrant, healthy plants in the living room would promote family harmony and well-being.
• Southeast (Wealth): Placing a bowl of coins or a wealth vase in the southeast corner of my home office could attract financial prosperity.
• South (Fame): Hanging artwork or awards on the south wall would enhance my reputation and recognition.
• Southwest (Love): Incorporating pairs of objects, like two candles or two pillows, in the bedroom would strengthen my romantic relationship.
• West (Creativity): Creating a dedicated space for creative projects, with art supplies and inspirational decor, would foster creativity.
• Northwest (Helpful People): Displaying a map with pins marking places I’d like to visit would attract travel opportunities and supportive connections.

The Results

Implementing these changes was a gradual process, but I quickly noticed a shift in the energy of my home. My workspace felt more inspiring, family gatherings became more harmonious, and I even received unexpected support from helpful people. The consultation provided me with a deeper understanding of how my environment impacts my life and empowered me to make positive changes.

All life requires growth, evolution and movement. When we lack these elements in our life, the energy that makes up our lives becomes stunted. Imagine not having enough energy to power a light bulb: it grows dim and burns in a weakened state. When we have overstuffed homes – especially with outdated, unused and unloved items, our lives become weakened too.

But how do you know when it’s clutter and when it’s disorganization?

Clutter is when you have eight spatulas or a closet full of clothes you haven’t worn in years. Disorganization is when you can’t find what you’re looking for. Simply organizing your home with shelving, baskets, boxes, and other organizers will often clean up the disarray. In fact, by using organizing items you can often make more room than if you didn’t use them.

Look at your challenges to find the kind of organizers you need. Is the big mess in the kitchen or the bathroom? Maybe the living room is out of control. You might not be able to find an important bill that needs to be paid because you don’t have a place to put the bills when they come in. No matter what your need is, there are containers of every possible size and description that can help you organize your house where you need it.

Unlike a tornado, clutter doesn’t just happen. It gets that way over time.

Sometimes clutter is so insidious that we don’t even notice it until we’re deluged by it. Hopefully, you’ve learned some things about clutter, like what it is, what to do about it, and how it’s different than disorganization. But, just like any good habit, such as exercise, decluttering isn’t something you do and then it’s done: it’s something you start and then keep doing.

Too often people are bitten by the declutter bug and make one big push to declutter. That’s wonderful and having your clutter cleared in one fell swoop feels incredible and unburdens you. Most of the time, though, clutter is related to a vitamin deficiency. Either someone is frozen in fear and doesn’t do anything about the clutter, usually because they’re just overwhelmed, or they do it once or then forget about it for the next 25 years.

Schedule it

Having a regular routine for decluttering is the single best way to keep it from getting out of hand. Pick a daily time that’s convenient such as every day at four o’clock. Then, spend fifteen or so minutes working at removing clutter (tossing mail, magazines, clearing out the refrigerator). Make it long enough you can accomplish something but not so long that you’ll give up.

Declutter with other activities

Instead of just putting freshly-washed towels away toss out your old tired towels first. Or, while your child is getting ready for bed, take a moment to go through some drawers and remove outgrown or stained clothing. Decluttering as you do other things makes decluttering part of daily living — and that creates a routine.

Make it a habit to be aware

Don’t unload groceries into the refrigerator that’s messy or cluttered with jelly jars with only a teaspoon of jam in them. Instead, quickly go through the fridge and toss old items out and wipe down shelves before restocking, and do the same in the pantry – this is the quality of being present with clutter and your environment. Likewise, if you take a phone message and the pen you’re using doesn’t work, make it a habit to throw it away and not put it back in the holder (and I know you do this!).

Be present

Becoming present means that you are aware where you are. That sounds obvious, but if you’ll start becoming more aware and present wherever you are, you’ll notice that you stop forgetting things and misplacing items and you’ll notice how your home and office stay cleaner and neater more easily.

You’ll also notice that you get more accomplished, you’ll scratch things off your mental and physical to-do lists, you’ll become less patient with people who drain you and you’ll get three very valuable qualities back into your life again. They are initiative, motivation and enthusiasm: the zest of living.

Yes, old, broken, crowded, and too-much stuff can do that to you — rob you of zest for living. Free yourself and become aware of what you have and what you really use or don’t use. Getting rid of useless items will unburden your home, mind and spirit and will open up your life again!

Your goals for decluttering this week:

Become more aware and present wherever you are. If you’re in the bathroom and you see a two-year old bottle of prescription medicine you don’t need, why not throw it out?

Straighten and organize before adding anything. Take time to clean the refrigerator and/or pantry before adding groceries. It might take a little longer the first time, but if you do it for a few minutes before adding groceries, each time will get shorter and your fridge or pantry will be neat and tidy.

Worst first. Instead of handling a small clutter area, tackle the worst area first. Get the tough stuff out of the way and you’ll feel instantly energized. Enlist help if you need it. Ask a friend to help you and keep you strong. Who knows? Once you start really pitching, you might find that you are so ENERGIZED that you don’t WANT to stop!

Clear off counters and floors. To get energy moving in your home and life, clear up all items off the floor and off the tops of dressers and counters.

The principle aim of feng shui is to introduce specific positive changes and adjustments into living and working environments so that they are able to support you better, rather than possibly hindering you. Influences of the physical landscape, space, time and orientation  are all assessed. The core of this evolved ancient practice lies in seeking a wholesome, balanced relationship between yin and yang, qi and five elements, man and nature. Feng means wind. Shui means water. 

The Benefits of Feng Shui

Feng shui can be a very effective tool for helping people to create harmonious working and living environments, which can also bring about other changes for the better as a consequence. But it cannot guarantee wealth, health or happiness. It is not magic, so beware of people who make such claims. Some scientific research into feng shui is taking place.

Three Basic Feng Shui Concepts

Qi

The Chinese word Qi expresses a complex natural force generated by a combination of both real and abstract sources, including sunlight, cosmic influences, colour vibrations, the movement and quality of the air around us, the flow of water, the nature of our thoughts and emotions, the form of objects, and so much more., Qi influences how a place feels and how we feel in it, depending on whether it can circulate harmoniously or not.

Yin and Yang 

The concept of Yin and Yang is that interconnection and continuous change is the dynamic process of nature, which is the significance expressed by the familiar yin-yang symbol. It is fundamental to Chinese cultural philosophy,. Examples are light and shade, inner and outer, movement and stillness. A balance between yin and yang creates harmony and stability in a place, as the natural equilibrium becomes disrupted whenever there is too much of one or other.

Five Elements (wu xing)

The five elements also known as the five phases or transformations, are water, wood, fire, earth and metal. They are correlated to the eight feng shui trigrams. Each trigram relates to a specific compass direction, colour, shape, season, family member and body part. The five elements can be either physical objects or metaphoric representations, used in various ways to strengthen, support, enhance, weaken, manage or control one another, depending upon their relationship and placement. They are introduced to beneficially influence a living space and to support its occupants.

Feng Shui Bagua

Another tool used in feng shui is called the bagua. The bagua is octagon shaped and is divided into the eight wedges. These wedges represent the main eight compass directions of north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest. The compass wedges are called sectors.

• Each sector rules a specific area of life, such as career, education, health, wealth, fame/recognition, love/relationships, descendants (children), and mentors.
• Each sector is governed by one of the five elements.
• Each sector is represented by colors that correlate to the element of that sector.

How the Bagua Is Used

A bagua overlay is placed over your home layout or blueprint according to the compass reading made by the feng shui practitioner. The facing direction of your home is usually the front door.

Compass Directions and the Bagua

The bagua overlay will give you a clear picture of the various sectors (compass directions) of each room in your home. This information helps you determine which elements need to be activated in each room to achieve balance and encourage the chi energy to flow into that area.
