Feng Shui: A Homeowner’s Guide to Abundance takes a modern approach to the ancient art of Feng Shui, demystifying the practice and helping readers create a sanctuary of abundance in their homes. Why was this an important book for you to write?

Writing this book was a spiritual calling for me, as Feng Shui is often misrepresented as a simplistic, superstitious tradition or a practice only appreciated by certain cultures. In reality, Feng Shui is a profound tool for creating balance and harmony in any space, and its principles are universally relevant.

I’ve seen how even small adjustments in our surroundings can lead to powerful shifts in our lives, bringing abundance, wellbeing, and a sense of peace into our homes. Feng Shui is not just about moving a pot plant here or there; it’s about improving the energetic design of buildings in a way that truly enhances the quality of life.

I also I wanted to add my voice to the conversation about Feng Shui and share the true essence of this ancient Chinese art with a broader audience, making it accessible and relatable. My goal was to demystify Feng Shui and show how it can be a valuable tool for anyone looking to create a sanctuary of positivity and abundance in their home.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

In Feng Shui – A Homeowner’s Guide to Abundance, I focused on core principles that are essential for anyone looking to elevate their living spaces with Feng Shui. A central concept is the balance and interaction of the five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Each element contributes its own energy to your environment, and understanding how to harmonise these can have a profound impact on your well-being and prosperity.

Another key idea is the creation of a Feng Shui energy map for your home. This tool is vital for identifying how different areas of your home influence various aspects of your life—health, relationships, financial success. It’s about mapping your home to optimising your space and understanding how these energies work and interact to shape your daily experience.

I also emphasised the importance of integrating Feng Shui with modern design principles. It’s not enough for a space to be energetically aligned; it also needs to be aesthetically pleasing and functional. Our homes should be sanctuaries that support both our physical and spiritual well-being.

What is a common misconception you feel people have about Feng Shui?

A common misconception I often encounter is that Feng Shui is just about superstition or decorating with objects like wind chimes or crystals to bring good luck. But Feng Shui goes far beyond that. It’s a practice that combines both art and science, designed to create harmony between people and their environments by optimising the flow of energy.

The essence of Feng Shui isn’t in simply rearranging objects around your home. It’s about understanding how the arrangement of space, the movement of energy, and the balance of the five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—affect our well-being and success. Feng Shui takes a holistic view, considering everything from the architecture of a building to the smallest details of a room’s design, all tailored to the unique energy of the individual and the space. It’s a practical approach to creating environments that truly support and uplift us, far beyond just aesthetics or superstition.

What is the next book that you are writing and when will that be published?

I’m in the early stages of planning my next book, which will focus on energy management—not just within the built environment, but also considering the energy we encounter from various sources in our daily lives. This book will explore how we can harmonise these energies to enhance our overall well-being, integrating Feng Shui with modern wellness practices. It’s still in development, however I’m aiming for a publication date in the next year or two. My goal is to continue making Feng Shui accessible and relevant, helping readers transform their lives by transforming the energy around them.
