You and your environment are one unified field, one quantum filed of unlimited possibilities.Consequently it is possible for you to transform your life by using this field in a holistic fashion.

The hidden connections of our world transcend intellectual and physical barriers enabling us to develop a system of living that engenders success and happiness. In order to do this however, we need to understand the relationship between the physical and less tangible networks that exist, along with values, political systems, culture and the choices that we make as human beings. A professional Feng Shui practitioner will within the form of a consultation address most of these components.

In Feng Shui and indeed, in Chinese metaphysics, there are many different and highly integrated layers. There is the external physical environment such as the landscape and all the plants, roads and waterways within it. Then there is the internal environment such as the interior layout and design of the building, the decorative objects used within the framework of interior decorating and of course the colour scheme. All of these issues need to be addressed to provide a strong and sustainable positive result.

However, you then have to consider the people living or working in that particular space. And, if you don’t address the human component there will always be something missing. The way in which a consultant would do this is to incorporate the Four Pillars of Destiny. Whilst this system incorporates some of the concepts of Chinese astrology it is much deeper and far more precise.

The Four Pillars of Destiny is a complementary and necessary discipline in the practice of Feng Shui.

The Four Pillars of Destiny allows much greater depth and accuracy to a consultation for a home or business that is not evident when solely relying on Feng Shui. It enables the Feng Shui practitioner to adjust and tailor the Feng Shui requirements to suit the individuals concerned.

The Four Pillars of Destiny also allows us to understand human behaviour and luck cycles through a person’s birth date. It helps us comprehend ourselves and other people, providing deep insights into the character we are working with. It also enables us to appreciate the nature of the problems we are facing and is a very useful reference tool in our decision making process. In this way it gives us a better understanding of appropriate timing for taking risks or choosing new directions in life. Its importance should not be underestimated.

For the skilled practitioner the Four Pillars of Destiny allows an accurate means of evaluating our background, character, talents, career potential, predisposition to health issues and relationships with others. It then provides us, or an inquiring parent with an amazing resource that can be used to build on our natural talents and attitude, then understand and also work with the negatives present. This information provides an abundance of useful tools assisting us to make better choices, better decisions and all in all improve our quality of life.

As a practitioner, once this background knowledge of the Four Pillars of Destiny is understood then it is the skill of the chosen practitioner to bring together their awareness and understanding of the cultural background of the client, appreciate and understand the pattern of choices the individual has made in their life, the political environment of the time and of course the physical environment in all its layers.

With this knowledge in hand, a list of recommendations can be made that will enhance in a profoundly positive way a persons life so that it enables them to successfully create the life they want through their environment on a day to day basis.
