Have you ever heard of Feng Shui? It is an ancient Chinese philosophy that talks about how to arrange your home or workplace in such a way that you feel good there. Think about those times when you walk into a place and immediately think: "Wow, it's so nice here!" or: "Hmm, this doesn't feel quite right." That feeling is what Feng Shui is all about. The idea is that if you arrange your things in a certain way, the good energy will flow better through your home. And that in turn can make you feel good about yourself and cope with life more easily.

So it’s not just about how it looks, it’s also about how it feels. Isn’t it amazing how something as simple as moving your couch or hanging a mirror can have an impact on your life? Whether you believe in it or not, it’s a fun way to look at your home differently!

What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui literally means 'wind and water' and is more than just an interior design style; it is a philosophy that is over 3000 years old. The goal of Feng Shui is to optimize the flow of chi (life energy) in a space by finding balance between the five elements: water, wood, fire, earth and metal. By applying these elements in the right way, you can create an environment that promotes harmony, peace and prosperity.

The Feng Shui Club

Feng Shui Club , a new initiative by Melati Helmhout of De Negen Sterren , a Feng Shui and Nine Star Ki specialist with years of experience. She is also the author of Feng Shui the Book .

Melati is educated and trained in Conceptual Feng Shui, which looks at the individual and the interaction between that individual and his environment. For her, Feng Shui is not just about a fine flow of energy, but exposes a deeper layer. And that makes it so super interesting for Melati!

She argues that a home is much more than just a place to live; it functions as a mirror of who you are. The colours, shapes and materials you choose not only influence the energy in your home, but also how you feel and behave. Straight lines and hard surfaces can create more alertness and a tighter posture, while soft materials and round shapes have a calming effect. By consciously furnishing your home, you can bring balance to your life in subtle ways.
