This session will take you on a journey of interpreting your home through the lens of metaphor and symbolism in feng shui. This exploration will not only enhance your understanding of feng shui but also deepen your insight into how your living environment can be adjusted to foster desired outcomes.
Robert Stetson Shaw once remarked, “You don’t perceive something until the right metaphor allows you to see it.” This observation is profoundly relevant to the practice of feng shui, where the arrangement and symbolism within our living spaces play a crucial role.
Metaphors serve as powerful instruments, possessing the capability to facilitate healing and transformation. Albert Einstein highlighted the significance of symbolic language, stating, “Symbols hold the power to influence us not just intellectually, but also on behavioural and emotional levels.”
In this presentation, we will explore the art of feng shui and refining your spatial arrangements and leveraging metaphors and symbols, using examples from an environment we all know well – our homes.
As Eleanor Sandry has noted, “We anthropomorphise everything.” It is a human tendency to attribute intent, emotions, and identities to various entities, ranging from dolphins and houses to everyday objects like Microsoft’s paperclips or LEGO blocks. We assign deep meanings to the objects that surround us.
This session will take you on a journey of interpreting your home through the lens of metaphor and symbolism in feng shui. This exploration will not only enhance your understanding of feng shui but also deepen your insight into how your living environment can be adjusted to foster desired outcomes.
This engaging presentation promises to be both enjoyable and enlightening, transforming the way you view your home and, indeed, your own self.
