Feng Shui Tips and Advice: Do you NEED a Feng Shui Consultant? By Feng Shui Long Island & New York

Feng Shui The Series Part 7

After having practiced Feng Shui in New York for many years, I am still often asked if people can read books and learn enough about Feng Shui to attempt to make changes on their own.

The purpose of this Feng Shui Series has been to provide you with more information and encourage you to TRY Feng Shui. Often you will see or feel changes that will encourage you to pursue your knowledge and/or hire a Feng Shui Consultant for a complete assessment.

The simple Feng Shui Tips and Advice previously posted can never take the place of an individualized, custom Feng Shui Consultation but I do believe you should try some things at home or your place of business to not only see what changes occur but to FEEL the Energy of those changes.

If you are trying Feng Shui on your own, find one author that you feel comfortable with and stick with their methods. It's often confusing in Feng Shui with all the different methods and schools of thought to jump from one author to another. I especially like Karen Kingston and William Spear who help make Feng Shui easy to understand.

The results, however, are not likely to be as profound as having a personalized consultation. They are designed for YOU and the results are often astonishing. Feng Shui Consultations can often be done by someone who lives across the Country and be just as effective as an on site Feng Shui Consultation.

Although I am a Feng Shui Consultant in New York, I have worked with clients across the Country. These are called "Distance Consultations."

What do I look for in a Feng Shui Consultant?

When looking for a Feng Shui Consultant, remember you are not limited by distance. Years ago Credentials in Feng Shui were important; there are currently no rules or regulations about the Business of Feng Shui. Anyone can read some books and put up a website as a Feng Shui Consultant or do an online study course, some lasting only a few days.

I suggest you look for someone who has been practicing for a number of years in Feng Shui. You will not last in this industry if you are not consistently producing real RESULTS for your clients.

Experience is priceless in my opinion. As a Feng Shui Professional I can say that while my clients may be having the same issues, they are all unique individuals and Feng Shui Consultations must be tailored and customized to THEM. Years of experience in Feng Shui have taught me lessons I would have never found in a book or online.

Since you will be sharing some personal information with your Feng Shui Consultant, do find someone you "connect" with. You will need to be comfortable with this person to truly address the issues in your life so they can best know how to help you. PLEASE check their follow-up rules: Some Feng Shui Consultants follow up for only a certain period of time or number of phone calls....while others provide unlimited follow ups and are there when you need them.

Finally, I do not believe in putting other Feng Shui Consultants down. While it is fine to list your accomplishments, I have seen the practice of discouraging others from trying Feng Shui on their own and also have seen derogatory remarks about the way other Feng Shui Consultants practice or how you will not get results from "THEM."

With the influx of Feng Shui Consultants in New York, I have come across this and IN MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION, there are still many Feng Shui Consultants who do not charge exorbitant prices and do have your best interests at heart.
