If you haven&#8217;t heard about this concept, I can give you an easy explanation. The law of the mirror tells us that we can see a reflection of ourselves in another person through observation. In QC&#8217;s Feng Shui Design Course, I realized that this concept doesn&#8217;t apply exclusively to people.\n\nWhen you begin your Feng Shui training, a new world opens in front of you. I learned how to locate the <a href=\"\/2020\/07\/understanding-the-feng-shui-bagua-map-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bagua Map<\/a> in my clients&#8217; houses. I also began to comprehend the direct correlation between my clients&#8217; lives and their homes.\n\nSince my training, I&#8217;ve discovered how the law of the mirror also applies to our spaces. In QC&#8217;s Feng Shui Design Course, you&#8217;ll gain the skills needed in order to gently highlight the importance of this concept. As a result, your clients will learn to live more consciously in each room. They&#8217;ll become aware of the impact the state of their home can cause in <em>every<\/em> aspect of their lives.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;22989&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>2 &#8211; Everything is connected.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]After understanding the Bagua Map (and each aspect of life on it), I then learned the connection of every object and element within the home. When you internalize this idea in your projects, you become aware of every item you&#8217;re proposing.\n\nLuckily, your Feng Shui training will teach you how to move the elements correctly, to create better energy flow.

This is an ability that you&#8217;ll develop with time and experience. Still, it&#8217;s fundamental to know how to propose the correct solutions and\/or specific cures.

As a result, not only do <em>you <\/em>get to benefit from this knowledge &#8211; you can bestow it upon your clients, too.\n\nOne of the best pieces of advice you can give your clients is to <a href=\"\/2018\/04\/declutter-room-feng-shui-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">declutter their home<\/a>. Clutter creates places for negative, stale energy to fester. It limits the flow of positive Ch&#8217;i that&#8217;s trying to move from room to room. Space adjustments will allow your client to properly feel the changes in their lives, and access vital energy that will ultimately make their lives better.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>5 &#8211; Different clients require different solutions.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]The last &#8211; and most important &#8211; skill I learned from my Feng Shui training was to consider every client&#8217;s profile. As part of your course assignments, you&#8217;ll go through case scenarios and propose appropriate solutions, based on that specific client&#8217;s needs.\n\nRemember: no two clients will ever be exactly the same. This means that there&#8217;s no &#8220;one-size-fits-all&#8221; solution in Feng Shui design.\n\nSome people firmly believe in the traditional Feng Shui cures. Others are not so aligned with these solutions. Fortunately, QC&#8217;s Feng Shui Design Course gives you the tools to manage these situations. The curriculum will stimulate your creativity and make you more ingenious when proposing design solutions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;22991&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Searching_for_a_Feng_Shui_Course\"><\/span>Searching for a Feng Shui Course<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]When I was trying to find the right course, I found myself hesitating a lot. So, I took a moment to search my mind and really pinpoint what it is I wanted to learn &#8211; and <em>how <\/em>I wanted to learn it. I&#8217;m a pretty big bookworm and I love studying, especially with physical books. It was important that whichever Feng Shui course I took, I&#8217;d be able to improve my skills in a way that worked best for me.\n\nAlmost immediately afterwards, I found <a href=\"\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QC Design School<\/a>. One of the things that stood out to me about QC was its presence in English-speaking countries. As an international student who speaks English as a <em>second<\/em> language, I knew that taking their Feng Shui Course would be a bit of a challenge. At the same time, though, I knew it would give me an advantage.\n\nIt was <em>exactly <\/em>the international experience I was looking for &#8211; particularly because I needed to be able to do my training virtually. Apart from the slight language barrier I knew I&#8217;d face, QC Design School&#8217;s credibility, reviews, and course catalog quality convinced me to enroll. In retrospect, this was the best decision I could&#8217;ve possibly made![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Look_Into_QCs_Feng_Shui_Training\"><\/span>A Look Into QC&#8217;s Feng Shui Training<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]A lot of people who pursue Feng Shui training have likely heard of it before and are aiming to deepen their understanding of it.

When I received all the materials, the books, the color palette, and the Feng Shui accessories, I was delighted! Everything was very professional and complete.\n\nThroughout the educational process, you have the support of your designated tutor.
