Q. What is Feng Shui?
A. Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is known as the ancient Chinese art and science of the dynamic relationship between humans and their environment. What this means is the science of making you feel more comfortable in your own home. Basically, it is the analysis of the individual property with the objective of finding any problem that affects the normal flow of energy. By identifying these problems, we can change the imbalance with techniques and remedies. The goal for doing Feng Shui is to prevent and minimize the negative effects of an ill-built dwelling on its inhabitants so they can have maximum health and ability to function optimally. Since Feng Shui is the art and science of putting balance in the place we live and work, the better the environment feels, the healthier and happier we become.
Feng Shui can be understood by using the metaphors of medicine, i.e. seeing a building like a person. We assume that buildings are static objects, therefore dead space. However, true dead spaces are areas such as cemeteries, tombs and mausoleums. We intuitively recognize that cemeteries or dead areas are for the deceased, not suitable for the living. Our dwelling may be inanimate, but the space within the building is continuously changing. It is our living quarters and as we live in this space, we are influenced by its nature.
All living things are subject to illness. When a house is sick, the inhabitants become sick, i.e. a cluttered house is similar to a "constipated" house and its inhabitants will also be "constipated", they may feel irritated and have physical constipation, or they may feel blocked in different aspects of their life such as relationship, career, finance, etc.... A house with a straight pathway from the front door to the back door has "diarrhea". Everything entering the hosue will go straight out without nourishing the rest of the house. The house is therefore depleted of nutrition. People living in this house may experience the symptoms of diarrhea including fatigue, malnutition, and ill-feeling. They may find that they miss a lot of opportunities in life such as promotions, not meeting the "right guy", etc.... A house with a stairway at the entrance is "anemic". Anything entering the house goes out right away. The house is also depleted energetically like the "diarrhea" house and the effects on the inhabitants are similar.
When we are sick, we go to a doctor. When our pet is sick, we bring it to the veterinarian. Similarly, when our house is sick, we bring in a Feng Shui practitioner. Feng Shui problems can be considered as imbalances affecting the health of the space within a building. Feng Shui practitioners are healers for sick buildings; they assess the "illness" of the house or imbalance causing problems to the inhabitants and treat it using different Feng Shui "cures" or "remedies". A Feng Shui consultation can be compared to a visit to a doctor. Like any other illness, sometimes one visit to the doctor is all you need; sometimes several visits are needed to correct the problems. At rare occasions, the disease is terminal and there is no cure except to move.
Q. What cause Feng Shui problems? A. Feng Shui problems can be man-made. Some are pre-included with the building when we first move into it. Its architectural construction is similar to the physical body. Some houses are designed "handicapped" without an extremity. Others are built with congenital illnesses such as the "diarrhea" plagued or "anemic" house (see "What is Feng Shui?" section). Remodeling is like "having an operation done" to the building, and sometimes "accidents" happen when it is not done properly according to Feng Shui rules. That is why a Feng Shui consultation is recommended before remodeling to prevent post-traumatic syndrome. Toxic chemicals and overuse of electrical equipments (causing EMF problems) lead to modern Feng Shui problems. "Constipation" arises from cluttering and mis-positioning furniture. Haunted houses can be considered as having a chronic infection (of ghosts). All of these and other man-made problems can be addressed readily with Dr. Eap's Basic and Advanced Feng Shui consultations.
The land on which the house is built carries the "genetics" and "constitution of the property. A well-constituted property needs no remedy and the inhabitants benefit from it greatly. "Genetic" problems arise from the existence of underground water streams, fault lines, spirals, caves, black streams, etc.... Like any other genetic diseases, there is no cure for these natural problems; Feng Shui can only alleviate the symptoms.
Some of the constitutional problems come from the negativity of unknown ancient burial, ritual and ceremonial sites existing in the land. These are man-made; therefore, they can be remedied. Land problems and remedies are addressed in the Earth Energies/Geomancy consultation.
Q. What are Feng Shui remedies?
A. Feng Shui remedies or cures are ways to negate or minimize Feng Shui problems. Some of them also aim to promote life improvements such as cures for prosperity, relationships, career, etc. Feng Shui could be as simple as moving furniture to a different location. They could be static objects such as crystals, a picture or a statue. They could be moving objects such as water fountains, wind chimes and mobiles. Light and plants are also among the popular Feng Shui cures. As more Feng Shui problems arise from modern building, modern cures are also developed such as Qi cards and anti-EMF devices (EMF refers to electromagnetic fields).
Q. How long does it take for the remedies to work?
A. This varies from house to house. Some people see immediate results, but typically it takes less than six months for most of our clients. Other people might need another consultation since there can be many layers to be peeled away until the home and/or property is restored to optimal health. It is most accurate to view a Feng Shui practitioner as a doctor, not a magician.
Q. Is Feng Shui conflicting with my religious beliefs?
A. No. Feng Shui is not a spiritual path or a religion. The goal achieved through Feng Shui is to improve life, not to attain enlightenment. It is an art and science based on five thousands years of Chinese philosophy and wisdom using natural laws and observation of phenomena occurring in nature. When you look at most of the approaches, it boils down to common sense approaches to make the building feel better.
Q. Is Feng Shui safe for my pets?
A. Yes, in fact it is very safe and animals benefit from the changes just as much as humans. It is best that the pets not be present during the actual consultation since they are a potential distraction.
Q. Who needs a Feng Shui consultation?
A. Anyone wanting to live in a healthy and harmonious environment would benefit from a Feng Shui consultation.
Anyone who (after moving to a new dwelling) begins having difficulties with health, relationships, career, or finances can use Feng Shui to remedy the problems. It is also recommended for people who have dealt with these problems for a period of time and feel they have exhausted their resources, or for those who just want to improve on some aspects of their life.
Before remodeling or buying a new house, a Feng Shui consultation could prevent unforeseen catastrophes.
Q. What is a Feng Shui consultation with Dr. Eap's team like?
A. Every house is unique and different from others. Houses, properties and family vary in size and complexity. Each of these factors (along with others) affects the depth of consultation needed.
Q. What are the different types of Feng Shui consultation offered by Dr. Eap's team?
A. These following consultations can be done all at once or one at the time:
-
Basic Feng Shui consultation: addresses problems arising from the architecture of the house, its contents and its surrounding environment.
-
Advanced Feng Shui consultation:
-
Compass Feng Shui Consultation: addresses the energetic compatibility between the house and the inhabitants.
-
Flying Stars Feng Shui Consultation: addresses the energetic compatibility of the house and universal energy within a 20 years period. It also addresses the energetic change annually.
-
Earth Energies evaluation: addresses problems from the land constitution.
Q. For Basic Feng Shui consultation, you can expect?
A. An initial interview, which is first needed to evaluate the problems you wish to address using Feng Shui. This can be done in person or over the phone and lasts anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour. We will need a floor plan of the property to scale and prepare for the on-site visit, which can take a few hours.
At the on-site visit, we will assess further the property and the surrounding neighborhood structurally and energetically for the problem(s). We will go room to room with you to point out the Feng Shui problems and recommend remedies for you. When needed, we will suggest the best locations of furniture. This visit can last 2 to 6 hours.
A follow-up visit may be needed after a few weeks to ensure the client has carried out the remedies appropriately (between 1/2 to 3 hours).
Q. What is the advanced Feng Shui consultation like?
A. After the first initial interview, in addition to the property floor plan, we also need the year the house was built, the move-in date, and the birth date of each family member/employee. We then calculate and prepare Feng Shui charts of the house and each inhabitant (averaging 1 to 4 hours per project. Note: additional time is needed for each additional inhabitant). Afterwards, we meet you to explain the compatibility of your house and you, giving you the best and worst directions, auspicious and inauspicious areas of your home for a 20 years period or for the present year (depending on the consultation you want) and will suggest remedies needed. Average length of consultation is 2 to 5 hours.
Q. What is a Geomancy consultation like?
A. We need the initial interview and site plan. We then "tune-in" to your land to find the areas causing the problems and the remedies needed. This evaluation may take several days. Then at the on-site visit, we will physically locate the problem areas and implement the remedies. Several visits may be needed for us to locate the problem areas and clear or remedy the negative energies. Each on-site visit lasts 2- 8 hours. All of the above consultations can be performed together or one at a time.
For all consultations, usually a follow-up consultation either through phone or on-site is needed.
Q. How often do people need to have a Feng Shui consultation?
A. The Advanced consultations and Earth Energies evaluation can be done at any time after the Basic consultation. In Asia, people have consultations every year and whenever they encounter problems in their lives. Annual consultations are like the annual physical examinations we have for our health. Remember, our dwellings are a living space; they can be sick and need a "doctor" too.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. Our fees vary depending on the site, project and level of consultation. There is a minimum fee of $350.00 for Feng Shui consultations and $1,000.00 for Earth Energies evaluation. An additional fee applies for travel time if the project is 60 miles or more away from Charlotte, North Carolina.
We are happy to provide you with specific information that would relate to your properties. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Q. How can Feng Shui and Geomancy help?
A. There is a Chinese saying: "The factors influencing the good fortune and blessings in life are ranked as follows:
-
the first is the right opportunity (being at the right place at the right time)
-
the second is one's destiny
-
the third is Feng Shui
-
the fourth is one's deeds (good and bad)
-
and the fifth is one's education"
Typically our clients feel improvement in their life after Feng Shui and/or Geomancy consultations.
The degree of improvement varies depending on the levels of Feng Shui done, the client's destiny, deeds and education, and most importantly on the "time and space" factors. On a few rare occasions, we were not able to resolve the clients' complaints even though they feel changes in other aspects of their life.

TESTIMONIAL
I was skeptical of Feng Shui until I met Dr. Eap. We were getting ready to sell our house, and she was recommended to me. It wasn't until I sat down with her and started talking about all the things going on in my life, fertility issues, marriage issues, money issues, that I realized they all started when we bought the house several years prior. She walked me through the house and was able to physically show me where the weaknesses were in the house and how they affected me emotionally and physically. A huge revelation was the fact that we had two different staircases. To quote Dr Eap, "Two staircases, two different ideas." And it was so true as my husband used one staircase and I the other. She was also able to identify a waterline running under our bed that was the partially to blame for the fertility problems. After Dr Eap finished Feng Shuing our house, the relationship with my husband improved and our ability to hold onto money increased tremendously. I even had her Feng Shui my office at Wachovia Brokerage where I was Sr Vice President,and our sailboat which we currently live on in the Caribbean! I will never buy another house again without consulting Dr Eap. I am forever grateful to her and her abilities, plus, I really like, and admire her as a person! Thank you so much Dr Eap for all you have done for my family!

TESTIMONIAL
I have enjoyed my job at a small company for nearly four years. Better put, I had been enjoying what I was doing within the company. However, I frequently felt irritable and mentally drained at the end of each day. Relations with co-workers put a lot of strain on me.
Within an hour after the Feng Shui consultation with Dr. Eap, the transformation of my personal office space had begun. Several re-arrangements were made, most subtle, but with great results. Other fixes have been implemented over the past few weeks, with more enhancements gradually to follow.
The difference is amazing! I feel very thankful for my office and my current position. My improved work environment means I feel better and have more energy at the end of the day to enjoy other things in life. Dr. Eap and Linh, you have changed my life for the better.

Our family was referred to Dr Eap by a successful Chiropractic Physician who highly recommended her ability to properly feng shui our home. Dr Eap has an extensive knowledge of the art of feng shui and has studied from some of the best teachers world-wide. We are still amazed at the difference it has made in our lives! We saw immediate significant improvements in our child's behavior and overall comfort in our home. We also continue to notice on-going benefits. We have had an increase in abundance of our cash flow, our home-based business, bonuses, friendships, relationships, career, health, etc.... We are very thankful for all of the benefits we have received. We appreciate Dr Eap very much and highly recommend her to others.

TESTIMONIAL
Since the Feng Shui has been completed on our yard and home by Dr. Eap and Ms Linh Trang, I have experienced increased physical energy, clearer mental abilities and more clarity emotionally. Finances also seem to have become more abundant. I am starting new projects easily. The creativity has started flowing. I certainly would recommend Dr. Eap's Feng Shui class as well as her personal consultations.
