As a result, many people don\u2019t know too much about feng shui design and often don\u2019t bother looking into how feng shui can benefit a home. People are often only exposed to the myths and stereotypes that do a disservice to the industry. In fact, many people don\u2019t really know what a feng shui consultant does!\n\nAre you contemplating becoming a feng shui design professional? Are you an interior decorator or home stager looking to branch out? If you\u2019re trying to sort out what\u2019s true and what\u2019s not about feng shui, well, you\u2019ve come to the right place. Here are the top 6 myths about feng shui design\u2014busted!\n

1. Feng shui consultants will make you totally redo your home<\/h3>\nMany people believe that if they were to hire a feng shui consultant, they\u2019ll have to give up all their prized possessions! Afterall,\u00a0 minimalist is a major tenants of the philosophy. This is a huge myth! In the Form School of feng shui, the focus is on arranging and placing objects in the home to achieve the optimal balance of ch\u2019i (universal life energy). Feng shui consultants should not be forcing their clients to buy new furniture or display new statues that they aren\u2019t comfortable with. If a new, foreign object is introduced into the home that doesn\u2019t suit the owners\u2019 tastes, it can even work against the good effects of feng shui!\n\nFeng shui consultants aren\u2019t supposed to be policing what is and isn\u2019t allowed in someone\u2019s home. The goal is to work with clients to achieve a home environment that will foster positive outcomes in their lives.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][image_with_animation image_url=”11242″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

2. You have to be a Daoist or align yourself with eastern philosophy<\/h3>\nYes, feng shui does overlap with eastern philosophy, specifically Daoism, but western feng shui is not a religious practice! The concepts of ch\u2019i and yin yang are borrowed from Daoism, but the emphasis is on using these concepts and translating them into your client\u2019s surrounding. Being a Daoist may give you a leg up, since you already know and appreciate these concepts, but like anything else, feng shui can be learned. On the flip side, knowing good feng shui practices doesn\u2019t make you a good feng shui consultant when it comes to merging your knowledge with you clients\u2019 physical home. Most of your career will involve working with clients to figure out what you can do together that would suit them and their lifestyle.\n\nJust like anyone else, feng shui consultants are only human! You may have a certification in feng shui design, but you probably also have spaces in your home that don\u2019t facilitate the best flow of energy\u2014that\u2019s okay! The difference is that feng shui consultants are invested in feng shui design and know how to create systems for clients to organize their space, lives, and minds in a way that actually sticks.\n

3. Feng shui is outdated<\/h3>\nWhile feng shui is an ancient art and philosophy, this doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s incompatible with the modern world. It\u2019s true that traditional feng shui practices do use bamboo flutes, paper fans, Chinese coins, crystals and other items, but the practice isn\u2019t restricted to just these materials.\n\nFeng shui is a flexible practice. If you identify a figurine of a flower with auspiciousness instead of the traditional thee-legged toad, then the effect is the same! There are tons of ways to integrate feng shui into the modern home, such as how to place TVs to benefit the feng shui of the living room.\n\nAs a feng shui consultant, you\u2019ll likely also be acquainted with interior decorating and home organization principles. Mixing all these schools of knowledge together will definitely lead to pleasing results for the modern client.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][image_with_animation image_url=”11243″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

4. Once a feng shui professional has worked on a client\u2019s home, the job is done for good<\/h3>\nWrong again! This goes back to the common misconception that a feng shui consultant\u2019s job is to just move furniture around and add in lucky bamboo plants and miniature water fountains. Yes, you could add those items into the home to include the flow of ch\u2019i\u2014but there\u2019s definitely more to it. Think about it: if a home has bad (sha or si) ch\u2019i, it took months or even years to come about. There are always ways you can optimize ch\u2019i flow, but the flow can also become stagnant (eventually turning into sha or si ch\u2019i) if your clients don\u2019t change the way that they interact and use their objects. Feng shui is a process. It\u2019s a process that has to be adapted to every unique client, and even then it still needs fine-tuning when things in your client\u2019s life change. The effort has to come from both you and your client![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

5. Clients should be out of the house while a feng shui design professional is working<\/h3>\nDefinitely not! A feng shui consultant\u2019s job is to work with their client, not for them. When it comes to making changes to a room\u2019s layout, all the consultant can do is make suggestions and help their clients adapt the principles to their needs. The final say goes to the client, since it\u2019s their space and their stuff, so they need to be there!\n\nFeng shui is a highly personalized practice. Consultants need lots of information about their clients\u2019 lives, problems and goals in order to work effectively. You should be working with your client every step of the way!\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”left” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][image_with_animation image_url=”11247″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

6. You can\u2019t make a living as a feng shui consultant<\/h3>\nYou can if you\u2019re smart about your business! Like with any career, you’ll become a successful feng shui consultant if you put the time and effort into developing your skills and your business. Because this is still a field that\u2019s relatively misunderstood by the public, part of your work will involve helping clients and potential clients understand what it is you actually do, and how you can help them![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n
