Feng Shui literally translates to “wind and water” and is a philosophy of harmony. It symbolizes the space around us and the creation of an ideal environment.
Just as the clear water of a meandering river makes the land fertile and the gentle wind of spring carries pollen and seeds forward, the smooth flow of Qi (life energy) makes life possible.
Everything is a matter of the right quality and the right speed. Living according to Feng Shui enables a person to shape their space in a way that allows them to reach their full potential. In Feng Shui, the consultant assumes that all matter is connected to the individual, and that the layout of a space and the positioning of furniture have a significant impact on well-being.

Feng Shui offers you the opportunity to analyze living spaces using a structured system. Whether individual rooms, entire houses, apartments, or even your garden—the Bagua serves as a template for your floor plan. It is based on the fundamental principles of Feng Shui. With the help of the Bagua, you can assign a specific meaning and effect to each area of your home.
The term Bagua is derived from the Chinese word ‘ba,’ which stands for the number 8, and the word ‘gua,’ meaning trigram.
At the center of the Bagua lies life energy—Tai Qi. Surrounding this center are the eight zones representing the eight trigrams. The Bagua can therefore be understood as a kind of map of life.
With the help of the Bagua grid, you can assign functions to different areas of life according to the energy they correspond to most closely. For this, we use the 8-house system and its connection to the Bagua. The guiding principle is: the more symmetrical and balanced the layout, the better Qi can flow.
Each of the eight trigrams represents a family member. The eight trigrams can be divided into two groups: one Yang (masculine) and the other Yin (feminine).
| Yang – männlich | Yin – weiblich | ||||
| Qian | Himmel | Vater | Kun | Erde | Mutter |
| Chen | Donner | 1. Sohn | Xun | Wind | 1.Tochter |
| Kan | Wasser | mittlerer Sohn | Li | Feuer | mittlere Tochter |
| Gen | Berg | 3.Sohn | Dui | See | 3.Tochter |

The living room is the heart of your home and should therefore receive special attention. It should be a place where you feel comfortable and can relax. At the same time, the living room often serves multiple purposes—it is not only a space for rest and unwinding, but also a place for gathering and connection.
In your Feng Shui living room, you welcome guests and friends, making it a place of lively exchange. It is therefore important to create a harmonious and inviting atmosphere through the right lighting, color choices, and the proper arrangement of your furniture.
Use wall art, Feng Shui décor, and a few indoor plants to enhance the ambiance of your living room. If you wish to place a mirror, always ensure that you choose the right position.
With Feng Shui, even small but highly effective changes can transform your living room into a positive energy space. Harness the power of Feng Shui—because when your space smiles, you smile too.
Surround yourself with everything you love—this naturally creates a sense of comfort and well-being.

This was already pointed out by the renowned physician Paracelsus (1493–1541).
Bedrooms should ideally be places of rest and regeneration. We spend a significant amount of time there, recharging our energy for everyday life.
However, many people find that they cannot fully recover in their sleeping space, feel tense, or may even become unwell. One common cause of this can be geopathic stress zones.
It is a side effect of our modern society that we are surrounded daily by varying levels of electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields—for example, from home electrical installations, office wiring, technical equipment, household appliances, mobile communications, cordless DECT phones, and more.
Today, the average household in Germany has around 40 electrical devices. Our workplaces are also fully equipped with modern electronic technology.
But how does this affect us?
Electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields can lead to physical and psychological stress and, over time, may negatively impact our health.
Mirrors are used very deliberately in Feng Shui. If negative energy affects the house—especially the entrance—a Bagua mirror is used to deflect that energy.
In living spaces, mirrors should always reflect something pleasant and positive. Placing a mirror directly opposite the entrance can have negative effects.
In addition, mirrors in the bedroom should not be positioned in a way that reflects the bed. Mirrors belong to Yang energy and do not align with the calm Yin qualities that are essential in a bedroom.
