My experience in Real Estate from a Feng Shui perspective is not all that different from a regular consultation, the approach is basically the same - treated holistically, but there are some vital pointers to consider listed below. I have traveled for 30 years never living in one place for longer than 2 1/2 years. This makes up for a lot of homes. I had 5 Feng Shui consultations on my homes before becoming a consultant myself. My wife is a Real Estate Manager and I have worked with agents as a consultant.
Feng Shui brings issues and potential rapidly to the surface, it brings imminent change into play quickly. One only needs to follow through, take care of the details, take it seriously and believe. Like anything else it is not a magic bullet, but when the subject is understood it can be a powerful tool for change. Something always happens with a consultation - change is guaranteed, and results are always different for everyone involved. From my perspective, it always works out for the home owner in one way or another. Examples would be a rapid sale or sale within 90 days, or a decision by the owner to take the home off the market because the Feng Shui consultation made them rethink and brought them harmony to stay. There can be a financial reason for staying put, but personal development occurs. The outcomes are not predicted, the energy of change takes much into consideration.
Feng Shui has been around for thousand of years - it is alive and well for good reason - it works, but it can't be treated like any other commodity. F.S. asks for expanded awareness and sensitivity to the big picture. What are we selling and what specific situation do we want to transpire? Ask the seller to respond in writing to these 3 questions; 1. What they want from this move/transaction? (Not just the amount of money.) 2. Why they want this move/transaction? 3. Why they will get it? (This is for their eyes only.) Intentions should be in the vicinity of the right home for the right person. A home that will serve the buyer as well as it did the owner. The home is alive with energy - thoughts and emotions are imprinted here. Nothing is covered up, it's all straight forward blessings to all concerned, a winning situation for all. The mindset of a heart related transaction activates the type of energy we need to facilitate positive change in person, place and thing (money.) Focus on the TRAVEL & HELPFUL PEOPLE section of the Bagua, (that's the front right corner room/area of your home and lot.) Freshen it with live energy or moving energy, plants, fish tank, clock, lava lamp, music etc. - activate the energy here. Try hanging an image of horses in movement. (This was the first mode of travel, and a pure primal energy.) Place the FOR SALE sign in right front corner of the lot if possible. Front door and entryways are important areas to address energy, calling the energy in and first
impressions; rid all clutter and congestion throughout the home if possible. Use at least a little of these colors in each room; white, green or blue, black or very dark color, one fiery color - red, orange, purple or pink, one earth color like brown, tan, gold or beige. Use more fiery colors in the Travel & Helpful People area.
The agent and seller need to minimize stress and anxiety. It does not help things to move forward. It sends the wrong energy into the home and the wrong message to the universe.

THE TAO & ZEN OF QI GONG & FENG SHUI
The Tao and Zen of Qi Gong & Feng Shui
Qi Gong is often referred to as having Taoist origins. Taoist methods focus on improving and lengthening human life. Taoism is related and concerned with “The Way” which essentially means the natural way, the way of nature – inherent in man, earth and the cosmos. Qi Gong in all probability predates Taoism with Shamanism, man’s close spiritual religious communion with nature. Observing and communing with nature and spirit, and how to proceed with development of their energies that originate from the Divine source, helps man realize his fullest spiritual nature. Qi Gong has not changed in many ways from its primitive origins, as a way of cultivating energy, in a natural way. The mystery of the energy has yet to reveal itself comprehensively, but remains as it was understood thousands of years ago harnessing and developing energy through heaven and earth, body and spirit with its creation of healing abilities and peaceful states.
Taoism is essentially the first religion of China and its ancient revered text, the Tao Te Ching, is the most widely read literature in the world. It talks directly to these energies in metaphor and poetry.
I say the Zen of Qi Gong as a correlation to a state of being-ness in philosophy and conscious awareness. Spontaneous Qi Gong is the best of all worlds as it provides energy cultivation, meditation and self healing simultaneously. The Zen reference is to the scarcity and emptiness of form and thought in Spontaneous Qi Gong. Empty in a beneficial way, catharsis of baggage, emptying the self of redundant, extraneous or negative thought and emotion, emptying the self of tension, control, ego, self consciousness and fear. The emptiness allows one to engage in their natural self healing ability, in order to connect with the higher self in stillness or necessary spontaneous movement.
Zen in the concept that less is more- sensing the principle of oneness with all. Less is more – as in Feng Shui – riddance of clutter and congestion, opening up space to receive the new life, working through shapes and form.
In Spontaneous Qi Gong one becomes a Shaman in a sense by embodying the Qi through cultivation and finally given the abilities of transmission to pass Qi on to others.
Through myriad experiences encountered in Spontaneous Qi Gong the intellect is grasping and searching for reference and categorization like a left-brained logical summation of the invisible. Scientific breakdown and compartmentalization, the construction and deconstruction is something that can hardly be put under a microscope. Grasping the concept of Tao and Zen, is grasping the concept of spontaneous Qi Gong and deeper levels of Feng Shui. It is a gift to the person who is empty and open to receive that which is formless, and that which is cultivated without choreographed movement.
Cultivating energy with no/mind and without forms to learn is sometimes difficult for the Western mind to grasp. The Qi arises from the inside out in spontaneous movement. Just as reality is created from the inside out through thought and feeling perspective.
