Going with the Flow: How best to apply feng shui at home

Wood elements, as they are referred to in feng shui, promote positive energy, good fortune and a boost of happiness and growth in opportunities. Here, we&#8217;ve listed seven feng shui plants to increase the lucky and good fortune throughout the home.

What was it like growing up with a Feng Shui master for a father? Do you feel you were kind of fated to follow in his footsteps?
Having a dad who was a Feng Shui master was my normal. While I was growing up, the furniture was constantly being moved around &nbsp;or rearranged and, to me, that never seemed strange or out of the ordinary. Once I started hanging out with other kids, though, &#8211; ones whose parents were doctors, lawyers or something &#8211; that’s when I realised that my family was&nbsp; a little bit different.Despite that, as a child, I&nbsp; had no interest in taking up the same vocation.
So, where did your passion lie?
I was very creative and very artistically inclined. I simply loved painting, drawing, fashion design&#8230; anything to do with the world of art in fact.And that was what dominated my academic career, right until I&nbsp; graduated in Fine Arts in Canada.

Given your initial disinterest, what ultimately drew you back to Feng Shui?
When I was about 24, I suddenly realised it held a fascination for me. That was when I returned to Hong Kong after graduating. I was also going through something of a rough time emotionally, while the culture shock of returning here after so many years away also sent me reeling.
I really needed something to get me off the bad place I found myself in. One day, I just turned to my dad and said:“Can I learn Feng Shui from you?” It was the result of something of a ‘Eureka’ moment for me and I knew immediately it was the right choice. I also instinctively felt I could integrate my own passion for art and fashion into Feng Shui. Since then, I can honestly say I have never looked back.
Was there any one thing your father taught you that proved particularly transformational?
Studying under my father truly opened my mind. Prior to that, I’d seen his calling as somewhat antiquated. Once I started learning it for myself, though, it changed the way I saw the whole world, giving me an entirely different perspective on life and making realise the endless possibilities that are out there. I knew then that I could never again box myself into some safe little world. It was a real paradigm shifting and I’ll always be grateful to him for that.
&nbsp;And how did that revelation change the way you saw Feng Shui’s role in the contemporary world?
As it’s such a traditional discipline, many people find it hard to reconcile with modern life. Through my training, though, I came to realise that, essentially, it’s all about the relationship between people and their environment. It teaches us how to arrange the space around ourselves in order that we can truly fulfil our potential, while still optimising our health and wellbeing.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-50602 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/5-min-1.jpg" alt="feng shui" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/5-min-1.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/5-min-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/5-min-1-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/5-min-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/5-min-1-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/5-min-1-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/5-min-1-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
What is the best way then to boost your Feng Shui?
A focal point of my Go Lucky Method is that if your space is draining you, there’s something wrong with it. Any environment that makes you feel sluggish &#8211; rather than energised &#8211; is in need of adjustment. This doesn’t always have to be drastic. It can be as simple as adjusting your lighting or adding a splash of colour. It is, however, often best to replace any needlessly flashy decorations with objects that have personal connection.Rather than opting for an expensive centrepiece, for instance, it might be better to put the focus on a dish your grandmother gave you. Basically, if you have something associated with a positive memory, that’s always the way to go.
For Hong Kong in general, how do you see things going in the Year of the Rat?
For 2020, it’s all about the water and metal elements. This means we can look forward to good things within spheres influenced by such elements.Metal governs thinks likely jewellery and, by extension, finance, while water would relates to drinks, hotels, travel…These, then, are the sectors that will thrive over the next 12 months….
What about the negative things?
Broadly speaking, the past year has been dominated by trauma and heightened emotions. As a consequence, people need to focus on their mental wellbeing. They need to ask themselves what they need to trigger the healing process and restore their positive state, of mind.
With regard to more finite matters. as it is a water-element year, people may want to take more care when it comes their engagement with bodies of water, such as ocean or pools.

You’ve just now launched your own proprietary take on Feng Shui &#8211; <a href="https://www.thierrygolucky.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Go Lucky</a> by Thierry Chow…
I always wanted to put a truly modern spin on traditional Feng Shui techniques and beliefs and this fulfil that’s vision. It is an approach that draws heavily on the Go Lucky method,&nbsp; a very simple series of steps that people can follow in order to get the maximum benefits from their immediate environment. As part of it, Feng Shui consultations and design analysis is also on offer. There are also three different Feng Shui decorations that can be purchased, with each one representing something different and bringing different influences to bear on any given space.
Aside from Feng Shui, you are also known &#8211; and admired &#8211; for your personal sense of style…
I love fashion and I always have. It’s also something I have always wanted to integrate into my Feng Shui offer. With this in mind, I started attending a lot of fashion events in my professional capacity and tough people how to dress in compliance with the principals of Feng Shui.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-50600 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/3-min-3.jpg" alt="feng shui" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/3-min-3.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/3-min-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/3-min-3-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/3-min-3-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/3-min-3-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
So Feng Shui has a bearing on fashion?
Absolutely. Feng Shui is all about changing your environment and clothes definitely help shape your demeanour. The five elements used in Feng Shui, as well a yin and yang, all come&nbsp; from The Book of I Ching, which guides things like birth-chart readings. While it’s not exactly Feng Shui per se, I use it as a means of determining which colours or patterns that can help you balance your will optimise the balance of your chi…
On top of all that, is there anything else on the horizon?
Well I recently worked on new collection with Samuel Kung, the renowned master of <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/heavenly-harmony-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">jade</a>. I’d already fallen in love with jade and, when I met him, we were both keen to collaborate. Jade and Feng Shui are&nbsp; actually quite interlinked &#8211; it’ a material that absorbs a person’s energy and, as a result, changes colour over time. Looking to build on this, we launched the Samuel Kung x Thierry Chow Jade Collection. Comprising three jade rings and available from Lane Crawford, every item incorporates Feng Shui elements. Our next planned project, however, will be on a far grander scale…
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-50601 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/4-min-1.jpg" alt="feng shui" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/4-min-1.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/4-min-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/4-min-1-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/4-min-1-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/4-min-1-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
Away from all your many commitments, how do you like to relax?
I am a fanatic for anything&nbsp; spiritual, so I really enjoy reading books on meditation and any that add to my understanding of the wider universe. I also love to meditate and to give free rein to my artistic side &#8211; and, of course, some retail therapy always goes down well too.
What is the key item on your bucket list?
Denmark. It’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit. Although my husband is Canadian, that’s where his ancestors came from. I’ve seen so many gorgeous photographs of the country and I want to experience it all on a first-hand basis.
Finally, if you could meet any person, past or present…
I’m fascinated with reincarnation, so I would love to be able to meet one of my former selves. In terms of other people though, someone I would love to chat with would be Deepak Chopra, the famous author and renowned expert on alternative medicine. I’d love to be able to pick his brains about wellness techniques and the benefits of meditation.
Thank you.

Fengs to Come: Feng Shui master Thierry Chow, mystic moderniser….

Dubbed ‘Hong Kong’s Youngest Feng Shui Master’ at just 19 years old, Lee Shing-Chak, expounds on what to expect in the Year of the Pig.
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-42844-2" width="640" height="360" autoplay="1" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1902/1902_GMHK_Interview_LeeShingChak.mp4?_=2" /><a href="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1902/1902_GMHK_Interview_LeeShingChak.mp4">https://www.igafencu.com/video/1902/1902_GMHK_Interview_LeeShingChak.mp4</a></video></div>
 
By the time you were 19, you were the youngest feng shui master in Hong Kong only at the age of 19. When did you know where your own future lay?
When I was growing up, my father made no secret of the fact that he wanted me to follow in his footsteps and become a practitioner of geomancy. I was just 10 years old when my formal training began. As I grew older, though, my creative leanings began to became more apparent, with a possible career as a designer being foremost in my mind. In 1988, though, as my father lay on his death bed, he repeatedly asked my mother if I was reconciled to dedicating my life to feng shui. It was his dying wish and I finally acquiesced before his passing.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-42848" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-11.jpg" alt="Lee Shing-Chak" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-11.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-11-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-11-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-11-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-11-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-11-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-11-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Do you think feng shui is at all threatened by the modern world?
When I first started out in the field about 30 years ago, many of my elders in the geomancy world and even my family advised me to seek out a different path, maintaining that faith in feng shui was in a sharp decline.
However, I accepted it as a challenge and, at that time, my way of proving the value of feng shui was through the accuracy of my predictions. This saw me foretell everything from horse racing results to the winner of the Miss Hong Kong beauty. Nowadays, though, I’m reconciled to the fact that there will always be those who believe in feng shui and those who don’t. Thankfully, the number who do believe remains reassuringly high. For my part, I’ve incorporated statistics into predicting what the future has in store. They complement the traditional geomantic metrics and have given me some fantastic successes.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-42849" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-12.jpg" alt="Lee Shing-Chak" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-12.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-12-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-12-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-12-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/2-12-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
What do you see lying in store for Hong Kong during the Year of the Pig?
Well, the two decades from 2004 to 2023 actually constitute an ‘Eight Lucks’ period – a time of good fortune for medicine, education, childcare, insurance, property and mining. Within that period, however, the Year of the Pig will actually be the most turbulent time. My advice for 2019, then, is for those associated with such activities to stay the course, maintain an even balance and avoid any aggressive moves. Do not attempt any major new initiatives, no matter how tempting they may seem. The property market will also see some slumps, as will the stock market.

Are there any particular negative happenings people should look out for this year?
Yes, the alignments of the stars seem to suggest that things will not go well on the medical front. In fact, a major illness or epidemic may emerge, something that will put many people at risk. I’d advise everyone to pay particular attention to their health and wellbeing throughout the course of this year. The current cosmic positioning of the stars also warns of subterranean dangers. There is potential for an incident involving an underground transportation system, the MTR for instance. People should also avoid visiting volcanoes or engaging in underground leisure activities. It’s also best to avoid overly-old buildings as their unstable foundations may result in a sudden collapse.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-42851" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/3-6.jpg" alt="Lee Shing-Chak" width="466" height="700" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/3-6.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/3-6-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/3-6-186x280.jpg 186w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/3-6-120x180.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/3-6-400x601.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
What about the political sphere?
To answer that particular question, we should look to history for guidance. A full zodiac cycle – consisting of 12 zodiac animals and five elements – is 60 years long. Looking back six decades to 1959, this was the time when the US first opened its doors to China. Many economic ties were created during that period, although China was definitely under pressure and somewhat on the back foot when it came to trade negotiations. This type of trade uncertainty will be very much to the fore this year, with continuing friction with the US definitely on the horizon. Businesses should take some heart from the fact that not too much disruption is likely to come to pass.
Are there any zodiac signs that should think twice before having children this year?
&nbsp;I don’t think it’s possible to predict, outright, that certain people should not have children this year. Having said that, I think potential parents should be aware of specific personality conflicts that may arise between different zodiac animals. Generally speaking, Pigs are notoriously laidback, to the point of laziness. So if, for example, a Monkey has a child this year, the resulting parent-child personality combination may not be all that productive, as Monkeys tend to be more playful and active. Pigs are also known to be stubborn on occasion. So, if a potential parent is a Tiger – a sign for famous for meticulous planning – some clashes may be ahead as the parent and child may not see eye to eye on all things.

Is it true that those born in the year of a specific animal will have a ‘bad luck year’ when that sign comes around again? So, will 2019 really bring bad luck to those born in, say, 1983, 1971 or 1959?
Well, the answer is both yes and no. While it definitely is a ‘bad luck year’ for Pigs, not everyone born under the sign will experience a tumultuous year. For an accurate prediction, you need to know the exact month, date and year in which a person was born. In broader terms, the sign of the Pig is related to the element of water and also, a little more remotely, to wood. Therefore, if you were born in the spring or the winter, the negative potential is high indeed. If, on the other hand, you were born in autumn or, more particularly, during summer, then you will not be too adversely affected by any lingering bad luck.
Thank you.
