Feng Shui Meets Reiki
Why would a reiki person use feng shui? Why would a feng shui person use reiki?
These questions arise from my experiences as a feng shui consultant who uses reiki personally, and has carried out feng shui consultations for many reiki therapists. I also run workshops for therapists who want to apply feng shui ideas to their treatment rooms, and have had many interesting conversations with people who practice holistic healing methods.
I have a great interest in holistic healing, as the main use for feng shui is to create healthy and invigorating environments for people. This helps them to be more successful in life. The first thing I look at when doing a feng shui survey of someone’s home is how to ensure it supports their health.
I think reiki and feng shui people have a lot in common, as well as differences. I hope that anyone reading this will take up any ideas they find interesting, and let me know what they have discovered.
Reiki or Feng Shui ?
Reiki and feng shui bump into each other at moments in my life ...
someone who practices the ‘Magnified Healing’ system of reiki recognizes a Kwan Yin statue on my stall at a ‘Mind Body and Spirit’ Event……..
I dowse for a cure for geopathic stress at someone’s house and this time the answer is to use reiki on an area……
talking with a group of students about ways of space-clearing a room, someone says “I use reiki for that” …..
Mutual Benefits
My main interest in writing this is how reiki and feng shui benefit each other, while remaining distinct in their own right. Here are just a few of the practices I have found to be effective.
Reiki people can use feng shui
· To creating healing environments: position the couch diagonally opposite the door with its back to a solid wall or screen. Give the treatment room natural light. Avoid synthetic materials where possible. Space-clear the treatment room regularly. There are formulas for finding the most revitalizing area of a room - this is a good spot for the practitioner or client to sit in.
· To help clients to relax: relaxation is the basis of recuperation, not some fashionable extra. A body/mind that is on edge from intrusive or unsettling surroundings cannot accept the full flow of energy and is less open to good advice about self-help. Avoid hanging busy abstract pictures, ‘mystic’ accessories, and lists of symptoms in the treatment area. Ensure privacy by keeping home life well away from the treatment room
· To create a positive professional feel that attracts clients: have an obvious neat and attractive front door if you are working from home. Make it clear what to do when clients arrive. Use a simple symmetrical logo on your brochure, keep some curves and empty space in the layout, and use 60 % warm colours.
· To stay fresh and energized yourself: space-clear and clutter-clear the treatment area regularly. Wipe down flat work-surfaces with clean tepid water when the room seems under-powered. Keep a personal symbol of spiritual strength somewhere you can see it, and have a small morning ritual around it to keep you connected. If you have a statue of Buddha or Kwan Yin, it should be placed in a quiet corner of the room, higher than eye-level, with its back to a solid wall or with a flat surface behind it.

· To compensate for a missing bagua sector: sit a heavy planter at the spot where the house walls should have met if it were a regular shape. Find a chunk of unpolished rose quartz, cleanse it and empower it with reiki . Ask it to create and energize the ‘missing’ area. Bury it in the planter with a healthy evergreen and some seasonal flowers on top. Remember to distance - cleanse it at intervals.
· To deal with geopathic stress or poor quality earth energy: sometimes it is possible to regularly cleanse and invigorate a room with reiki. I have seen this done where the room sits over underground water, which has a draining effect on the occupants. It is better to divert the water, but sometimes this isn’t practical. The procedure may have to be repeated at intervals.
· To space-clear a room after illness or emotional trauma. Reiki can be used on its own or with other space-clearing equipment eg singing-bowl, smudging. This should be done after the room is cleaned and clutter-cleared.
· To dedicate a home shrine that celebrates family or important events, or to create a ‘moving-in’ ceremony, or to strengthen the heart of the home. Reiki can be used to magnify the healing energy in the central Tai Chi or the family area of the home, or the main door and hallway.
· To protect the front door from sources of 'sha' ( unhelpful energy) where no physical barrier is appropriate, or as well as a physical barrier. Sha might be from a busy road, an unpleasant sight across the road, or something tall or pointed that faces the front door.
These are just starting points for your imagination. As long as you have authentic training in both traditions, don’t try to substitute one for the other, and are clear with your client about what you are using when, you may find them helpful. Do let me know. Email and website below.
