class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>In order to start a career as a Feng Shui consultant, you first need to understand what Feng Shui <em>is.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>Feng Shui is a pseudoscientific practice that dates all the way back to ancient China. The literal translation of &#8220;Feng&#8221; is wind, while &#8220;Shui&#8221; means water. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craneandcanopy.com\/pages\/101-what-is-feng-shui\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crane &amp; Canopy<\/a>, in traditional Chinese culture, both of these elements are &#8220;associated with good health&#8221;.<\/p>\r\n<h3>The 4 Central Concepts of Feng Shui<\/h3>\r\n<p>So, what&#8217;s the ultimate goal of Feng Shui?<\/p>\r\n<p>Simply put, it&#8217;s to create balanced, positive energy. Feng Shui does this through the use of the <a href=\"\/2020\/07\/understanding-the-feng-shui-bagua-map-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bagua map<\/a>, as well as through the implementation of 4 central concepts:<\/p>\r\n<h4>1. Ch&#8217;i<\/h4>\r\n<p>This is that balanced, positive energy we just talked about! Ch&#8217;i is considered to be the universal, life-giving force that permeates all things. This includes the energy inside of our bodies.<\/p>\r\n<p>When there&#8217;s a healthy flow of ch&#8217;i within a home, one is more likely to experience happiness, prosperity, fulfilment, and peace.<\/p>\r\n<p>Your job as a Feng Shui consultant is to help clients create better ch&#8217;i flow in their living spaces. This way, they can live the fruitful, positive life they&#8217;ve always wanted to live!<\/p>\r\n<h4>2. Yin and Yang<\/h4>\r\n<p>Secondly, Feng Shui is all about balance. If one area of our lives is suffering, it will create a ripple affect that may negatively impact <em>other<\/em> aspects of our lives. Similarly, when certain areas of our life are thriving, they can positively impact other parts of our lives, as well.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you want to know how to work as a Feng Shui consultant, then you&#8217;ll need to understand the value of Yin and Yang.<\/p>\r\n<p>You&#8217;re probably already familiar with this concept &#8211; or at least, with the symbol that represents it (the <a href=\"https:\/\/balancedlifetaichi.com\/blog\/what-does-the-yin-yang-symbol-mean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taiji<\/a>). Yin and Yang are the balance of energies that make up the universe. When in perfect balance, they promote a harmonious life that supports one&#8217;s growth and betterment.<\/p>\r\n<h4>3. The 5 Elements<\/h4>\r\n<p>Drawing back on the importance of balance within the home, the third central concept of Feng Shui focuses on balancing these 5 elements:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Fire<\/li>\r\n<li>Wood<\/li>\r\n<li>Metal<\/li>\r\n<li>Earth<\/li>\r\n<li>Water<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>Importantly, as a Feng Shui consultant, you aren&#8217;t approaching these elements <em>literally<\/em>. For instance, you don&#8217;t need to actually incorporate fire or water within your client&#8217;s home. Rather, it&#8217;s about incorporating the <em>essence\u00a0<\/em>of these elements. This can be done through the use of color, qualities, and shapes.<\/p>\r\n<h4>4. The Celestial Animals<\/h4>\r\n<p>In Feng Shui, there are 4 celestial animals:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Black Tortoise<\/li>\r\n<li>Green Dragon<\/li>\r\n<li>White Tiger<\/li>\r\n<li>Red Phoenix<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>Importantly, the celestial animals energetically support the healthy, balanced flow of ch&#8217;i. Much like the 5 elements, these are not <em>literal\u00a0<\/em>animals. Instead, they&#8217;re a relative measure of landforms that surround our home and\/or office.<\/p>\r\n<p>Each one represents one of the four main compass directions\u00a0<em>outside\u00a0<\/em>of the home (North, South, East, and West).<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;24766&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Feng_Shui_It_So_Popular_in_Home_Design\"><\/span>Why Is Feng Shui It So Popular in Home Design?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Although Feng Shui has been around for thousands of years, it&#8217;s only gained overwhelming popularity within Western society over the last several decades.<\/p>\r\n<p>Now that the rest of the world sees its remarkable benefits, it&#8217;s definitely not going anywhere!

As a result of this training, you&#8217;ll be able to add a reputable, internationally-recognized certification to your resume!<\/p>\r\n<h4>Why is this critical?<\/h4>\r\n<p>Because potential clients will <em>always\u00a0<\/em>prefer to work with a consultant who\u2019s taken the time to earn their stripes. After all, try putting yourself in their shoes: would YOU rather hire someone with a certification, or someone without one?<\/p>\r\n<p>Secondly, getting properly trained requires an investment in your time, money, and effort. Once you graduate, you&#8217;ll be able to price your Feng Shui consulting services in order to properly <em>reflect\u00a0<\/em>that.<\/p>\r\n<p>And if your design business offers any other types of services, you can increase those rates too!<\/p>\r\n<p>Thirdly, having a credible Feng Shui certification will be one of the BEST ways to help you stand out from the competition.\u00a0Setting yourself apart from the crowd will help you elevate your business <em>and<\/em> better your bottom line at the same time!<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;padding-3-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; top_margin=&#8221;30&#8243; bottom_margin=&#8221;30&#8243; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f2f2f2&#8243; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<div class=\"iwithtext\"><div class=\"iwt-icon\"> <i class=\"icon-default-style fa fa-lightbulb-o accent-color\"><\/i> <\/div><div class=\"iwt-text\"> \r\n<h4>Did you know that QC Design School offers an online, self-paced Feng Shui Design Course? <a href=\"\/online-courses\/feng-shui-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn all about it here<\/a> and earn your <i>Advanced Feng Shui Design Professional (AFDP)\u00a0<\/i>certification in as little as 3-6 months!<\/h4>\r\n <\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Can_You_Study_Feng_Shui\"><\/span>Where Can You Study Feng Shui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>If you want to know how to become a Feng Shui consultant, the key lies in proper education.

There are a wide variety of factors that need to be considered for each individual room, such as:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Its location on the Bagua map;<\/li>\r\n<li>The Celestial Animal associated with it;<\/li>\r\n<li>Relevant elements that should be incorporated;<\/li>\r\n<li>The purpose and functionality of the room itself (i.e. a kitchen and a home office will serve two completely different functions);<\/li>\r\n<li>And more.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>It&#8217;s never too early to begin learning more about the industry and Feng Shui as a whole. So, do some reading! Devour anything and everything you can find online (from credible sources, of course).<\/p>\r\n<p>In order to become a Feng Shui consultant and have a legitimately <em>successful\u00a0<\/em>career, it&#8217;s imperative that you understand not only how to properly execute Feng Shui principles, but how to execute them within specific rooms throughout the home.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Start Brainstorming Your Business<\/h3>\r\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, you don&#8217;t actually have to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.ca\/blog\/how-to-start-a-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>start\u00a0<\/em>your business<\/a> at this point. This is simply the time for you to begin thinking about what you want your future business to look like.<\/p>\r\n<p>Look around online and see what the most successful Feng Shui consultant business are currently doing. What are they called? How would you describe their brand? How do they stand out? Do they have a strong social media presence (and if so, what are they doing to make it so strong)?<\/p>\r\n<p>Understanding your competition will give you a good foundation. By seeing what others are doing, you can better understand what it is YOU&#8217;D like to do &#8211; and how you&#8217;d need to go about achieving your goals.<\/p>\r\n<p>When brainstorming your business, here are some questions to keep in the back of your mind:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>What would you want to call it?<\/li>\r\n<li>What steps would you need to take to legally register your business?<\/li>\r\n<li>Will you need a license in order to operate your business?<\/li>\r\n<li>Who will be your target clientele?<\/li>\r\n<li>Do you want to strictly offer local services, e-services, or both?<\/li>\r\n<li>What do you want your brand to look like?<\/li>\r\n<li>Which social media platforms would you like to maximize?<\/li>\r\n<li>Do you want to offer a broad range of Feng Shui consultant services, or specialize specifically in certain areas?<\/li>\r\n<li>Where do you want to see your career in 5 years?<\/li>\r\n<li>What goals can you map out for yourself &#8211;

On the contrary, you can be just as successful by niching down and focusing on a handful of areas where you positively <em>excel<\/em>!<\/p>\r\n<p>By narrowing your sights on a few Feng Shui specializations, you can ensure that you&#8217;re ALWAYS providing clients with a service that will produce nothing short of the highest-quality results.<\/p>\r\n<p>Sometimes, it&#8217;s better to be <em>exceptional <\/em>at a smaller number of things rather than attempting to be a Jack-of-all-trades and a <em>master of none.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>So, explore where your passions and interests are!

You&#8217;ll quickly realize that others in the industry (even other Feng Shui consultants) will be happy to scratch your back if they know you&#8217;ll scratch theirs, should the roles ever be reversed.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ultimately, you\u2019ll have a longer, more fruitful career if you network with other Feng Shui consultants and designers.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;24784&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_Seven_Stay_Up-to-Date_with_Feng_Shui_Decorating_Trends\"><\/span>Step Seven: Stay Up-to-Date with Feng Shui Decorating Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Staying current on new Feng Shui trends is, ultimately, the very thing that will keep your career successful in the long run. In order to start a career as a Feng Shui consultant, you absolutely MUST get properly trained and certified.

After all, the world of design is ever-changing. Although many of the core Feng Shui principles will be forever timeless, there<em> are\u00a0<\/em>new practices and techniques constantly emerging.<\/p>\r\n<p>As such, there&#8217;ll always be new trends to try, new lessons to learn, and new skills to master!<\/p>\r\n<p>If you limit your Feng Shui training, you\u2019ll be limiting your career\u2019s potential. It\u2019s that simple. Consequently, you and your business will become stagnant&#8230; And trust me, your clients <em>will\u00a0<\/em>notice.<\/p>\r\n<p>So, continue to proactively build upon your training! Take more courses and add additional Feng Shui and\/or design certifications to your repertoire. Additionally, you can also browse social media during your downtime, or read various Feng Shui publications.<\/p>\r\n<p>This will all help ensure that you stay on top of the newest, hottest trends whenever they arise. And, of course, when you keep your subject-matter expertise current and fresh, you\u2019ll be able to make your mark on the Feng Shui world for that much longer!<\/p>\r\n<h3>Now that you know how to become a Feng Shui consultant, it\u2019s time to make that dream a reality! <a href=\"https:\/\/enroll.qcdesignschool.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enroll with QC Design School today and book your first client in as little as 3-6 months!<\/a><\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221;&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":24763,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,65,48,4],"tags":[74,95,96,97,98,99,100,101],"ppma_author":[510],"class_list":{"0":"post-24761","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-education","8":"category-feng-shui","9":"category-qc-design-school-courses","10":"category-your-design-career","11":"tag-feng-shui","12":"tag-feng-shui-consultant","13":"tag-get-started-as-a-feng-shui-consultant","14":"tag-how-do-you-become-a-feng-shui-consultant","15":"tag-how-to-be-a-feng-shui-consultant","16":"tag-how-to-become-a-feng-shui-consultant","17":"tag-how-to-work-as-a-feng-shui-consultant","18":"tag-start-a-career-as-a-feng-shui-consultant"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.7 (Yoast SEO v26.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Become a Feng Shui Consultant: A Step-by-Step Walkthrough - The Focal Point<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Feng Shui is growing in popularity and becoming a lucrative design skill.
