Why and How it Works Advancing Your Business         Transforming Your Personal Life Space Clearing         Sacred Space Vibrational Balancing Feng Shui, translated as wind and water, is a timeless art. It has long been used in China to ensure the harmonious flow of energy or 'chi' through an environment. The belief that properly flowing energy promotes health, happiness and prosperity has been borne out over thousands of years and in every culture. Today, more and more people are discovering its power. Why it Works Modern science tells us that everything seen and unseen, animate and inanimate is interconnected on a molecular level. In reality, there is no 'inner' and 'outer'. The environment affects the condition of your body, as well as your business. top of page How it Works The first step is to establish your individual needs. Then the tools of Feng Shui are used to balance the life supporting elements of water, wood, fire, earth and metal in your home or workspace; energy flow is improved, creating an environment for positive change. top of page Advancing Your Business Have you ever noticed how some companies always seem to flourish, where others struggle for no apparent reason?

Every environment is like a sponge, so if the people who occupied your home before you were happy and moved to a bigger home, you inherit their good 'chi' or life energy. But if the person whose office you take over was fired, it doesn't bode well for your success. Clearing of an environment or site preserves the good and cleanses the less auspicious. This ancient ritual has been practiced in every culture to honor the land and spirits, as well as to make a place sacred. Space Clearing sessions can be conduced independently or in conjunction with a Feng Shui Consultation. top of page Sacred Space The natural order of things is to bless or consecrate a space once it is cleared. In truth it is a part of the clearing process. All religious, cultural and secular practices (or lack thereof) of the client are always respected. Any practice can be incorporated into the blessing ritual to further personalize it. Rituals Performed include: Traditional rice offering to bless a home or office Closing ceremonies to complete relationships whether they are with people or the places we are leaving behind Marking a passage in one's life, such as a divorce, special birthday, achievement As part of an important event top of page Vibrational Balancing Tuning forks designed for this purpose apply sound to the acupuncture meridians enabling the physical body, which is our most immediate environment to balance itself. This system is based on the same Five Element theory that is employed in Feng Shui and Chinese medicine. The use of tuning forks and color creates a resonance inside and outside the body by touching the physical as well as the subtle bodies (which is where the real source of imbalance originates.) Judith offers these one-on-one sessions along with or independently of environmental Feng Shui. Chi Gong Chi Gong works on an energetic level to purify, regenerate and fine-tune the physical and subtle bodies. This practice also employs the use of sound and color. Private and group sessions are available. top of page This website and all content copyright 2006-2007 Sacred Currents & Judith Wendell • Site Design: Canfield Design Studios, Inc.
