Speed Feng Shui – feng shui for busy people
A talk by the feng shui consultant Jan Cisek presented at the Feng Shui Society Conference on the 6th February 2010.
Speed is the key trend now. Time is the currency of life, not money. We have speed reading, speed dating, speed shrinking and now it’s time to have speed feng shui. It’s for people who don’t have much time for such things but still want to improve their environments with feng shui.

“Mr. Jan Cisek held a very successful feng shui seminar on the premises of Ericsson Austria in Vienna in May 1999. Approximately 50 people attended and were pleased with his highly effective and entertaining teaching methods. Individual consultations followed the seminar and were very much appreciated by the participants. Jan has shown exceptional dedication and a profound understanding of both the subject matter and the needs of the participants . It was a real pleasure to have him as a guest speaker in Vienna.” Dr. Sepp Leimgruber, Managing Director, Ericsson Austria

FENG SHUI GARDENS: ENHANCING INNER AND OUTER LANDSCAPES

Feng shui (wind-water), a time-honoured practice of holistic interior design, has been utilised worldwide for over 3000 years. Its purpose is to minimise and mitigate environmental stressors while maximising positive aspects in homes, gardens, and workplaces.

This practical class will explore applying feng shui to your outdoor garden spaces, as well as at homes and workplaces. By blending the traditional wisdom of feng shui and biophilia with the science of environmental psychology, you will develop a deeper understanding of how gardens and nature impact you on various levels – physical, emotional, mental and transpersonal.

You will gain practical knowledge in the following areas:
1. Key feng shui principles: chi/qi, yin and yang, the five elements, the Bagua model, and more.
2. Application of environmental psychology and biophilia to outdoor and indoor gardens.
3. Techniques to enhance your wellness, mitigate modern environmental stressors, and boost personal and professional growth through plants and garden features.
4. Practical tips for tailoring and aligning your inner and outer gardens to meet your specific needs and desires.

Bring plans/photos for your gardens, indoor and outdoor.

Discover the profound synergy between nature, garden design, and the human spirit as you embark on this enlightening adventure with Jan Cisek. Learn how to cultivate harmony and balance in your surroundings and unlock the boundless potential of feng shui for your gardens to enrich your personal and professional life.

Jan Cisek (MSc, FSSA) is an experienced environmental psychologist, world-leading, evidence-based feng shui expert with over 40 years of expertise. Currently pursuing a PhD in feng shui, Jan’s research focuses on how nature promotes wellness and transpersonal values. More about Jan

YOUR HOME IS A METAPHOR

Robert Stetson Shaw once observed, “You don’t perceive something until the right metaphor allows you to see it.” This concept holds true in the practice of feng shui, where we frequently employ language models of metaphors. As powerful tools, metaphors possess the capacity to incite healing and change. Albert Einstein further underlines the potency of symbolic language, asserting, “Symbols hold the power to influence us not merely on an intellectual level, but on behavioural and emotional planes as well.” In this presentation, we will delve into the art of refining your language models and harnessing metaphors and symbols, drawing upon familiar examples from our daily environments – our homes.

As Eleanor Sandry remarked, “We anthropomorphise everything.” Humans are innately predisposed to infuse intent, emotions, and identities into a wide array of entities, from dolphins and houses to seemingly trivial objects like Microsoft’s paperclips or LEGO blocks. We bestow everyday objects with profound meanings, especially our immediate environments of homes and workplaces.

In this session, we will guide you through a journey of decoding your home using the lenses of metaphor and language. This exploration will not only augment your mastery of feng shui but also enable a greater understanding of how your environment, one of the most primary needs, can be optimised to yield desired outcomes.

This insightful presentation promises to be an enjoyable and illuminating experience, transforming the way you perceive your home and, indeed, yourself.

Participants of this workshop can expect the following learning outcomes:
1. Enhanced Understanding of Metaphors: Gain a deeper understanding of the role and power of metaphors in feng shui and their capacity to drive change and healing.
2. Symbolic Influence: Learn about the influential potential of symbols on intellectual, behavioural, and emotional levels.
3. Mastery of Language Models: Develop the skills to refine and effectively use language models, incorporating metaphors and symbols in their practice.
4. Insight into Anthropomorphism and Semiotics: Obtain a nuanced understanding of anthropomorphism and how humans inherently assign human traits, emotions, and intent to non-human entities.
5. Decoding Skills: Learn how to decode personal environments through the lenses of metaphor and language, leading to a greater understanding of their surroundings.
6. Application of Feng Shui Concepts: Understand how to integrate these concepts into your personal and professional life, thereby enriching your skillset and enhancing your mastery.
7. Environment Optimisation Techniques: Gain knowledge of how to optimize and prime their personal environments (such as their homes and workplaces) to better align with their goals and desired outcomes.
8. By the end of this workshop, participants will not only view their homes in a new light, but they will also have a transformed perception of themselves.
