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.

Intentions are central to the practice of smudging, so take a moment before you light the sage to determine what exactly it is that you’re trying to purify or release from your space.

Cleanse the energy in your home with White Sage Stick! Sage has been used by many cultures for thousands of years for cleansing, and purification of both individuals and spaces through ritual burning. Common reasons for burning White Sage are to clear energy, restore balance, spiritual purification, and protection.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Open a few windows or doors to help any smoke leave easily.
2. Light your sage stick over a flame-resistant bowl until you reach a small flame.
3. Once you have a small flame, hold your sage stick over the flame-resistant bowl and blow gently on the flame until it goes out.
4. The sage will then begin to smoke gently like incense and you may begin to smudge the desired area or individual.

Hold the sage at a 45-degree angl. Then you can start the process of clearing your space starting from your front door in clockwise direction.

You can say something like this as your intention:

Love: I open this space to divine love, may all the energy that flows through here benefit the heart space. May it hold compassion, nurturance, forgiveness, and truth.

Abundance: I call in the divine abundance of creativity [or inspiration, productivity, etc.]. May the [project, artwork, contract, etc.] I feel within my heart come to fruition in a form that benefits my highest good. May it be manifested into the form that best expresses its truth.

Negative Energy: I command any negativity, any low vibrational energy, and nonbenevolent beings within this space to leave and go to the light. You are not welcome here. I command you to leave and go to the light.

Make sure you finish at the front door where you stared. Be grateful for all the energy that moved out.

Now you can use some fresh flowers and plants to keep the energy. Enjoy your place

The main piece of furniture in a living room is usually the couch, which should rest against a solid wall. Currently, one of the popular western furniture arrangements is to place the seating group in the middle of the room without any wall support. This is called a floating arrangement and should be avoided.

No matter the function of the space, no living room is complete without a couch—and, as it turns out, its placement can have a big impact. 

After you select a commanding position for your couch, you’ll probably want to know where to place your television “Most TVs these days are so slim that you could mount it on the wall, which helps keep a more sleek and neat presentation,. When it comes to the question of whether or not you should you hang your television over your fireplace. But if your intention is to create a space for greater connection and conversation with family, allowing the fireplace to be the main focal point is a much better option.

Furniture pieces with sharp corners that stick out into walkways can obstruct the flow of chi in a room. Threatening angles or obstructive furniture can create cutting energy, which makes the living room feel uncomfortable. Use circular tables or rounded ottomans to keep the space open. Potted plants can also be added to diffuse obtrusive furniture edges and mask negative energy.

Before arranging your feng shui living room, you need to determine where the room falls on the Bagua (or energy map). This map details how to layout and connect different rooms in your home with the nine areas of life: creativity, health, relationships, travel, self, career, prosperity, wisdom, and fame. Arranging the layout of your home and each individual room with the Bagua can help attract the most positive energy.

With a Feng Shui Consultation you can learn everythng how to fix your Living Room energy flow.

Namaste!!
