Why should I consider feng shui for the home, even if it’s a rental?

No matter how big or small your home is, there’s always room for feng shui. Having good feng shui in your home will have many benefits.

It can improve your luck, health and relationships, create greater harmony, help with career progression, to name a few. If you work from home, having an “auspicious” workplace setup will help you focus and be productive and successful.

If it’s a long-term rental, are there any cumulative effects from the adjustments?

Once you’ve made some changes or adjustments, it may take a few weeks for them to take effect. In the longer term, when the feng shui is “right” in your home, you will find that your life goes more smoothly in all aspects.

What if I can’t make major changes to the interiors of the rental?

The five elements (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood) and how they interact with each other play an important role in feng shui. Balancing the elements correctly is key, and there’s no need to move walls to do that.

Another feng shui formula identifies your personal good and bad directions. This is why placement of furniture is also important – not just for positive energy flow, but also to allow the occupants to face their good directions, whenever possible.

Facing your bad directions can be like swimming against the stream. It can potentially cause illness and make success so much harder to achieve.

I would like to personalise the space. Are there ways to do this?

Colour is a great way to personalise your space according to your needs. So if you can’t paint the wall, you can choose artwork or rugs to personalise your home. Décor items can also play a significant role; think wooden items versus metal items, for example.

I’m hoping not to spend too much money, since it’s a rental home. Is it possible?

Absolutely! Even small changes like changing the colour of your sofa cushions, adding plants in a specific space, or installing a small water fountain can have a huge effect.

Also, rather than try to make adjustment across the entire rental property, you can also look at addressing specific concerns such as business success, health or a child’s bedroom.

How does a feng shui consultation help improve luck?

My consultations are always focused on the client’s needs and desires, and I offer practical solutions for their personal space. This is what makes each consultation unique!

Most of my clients contact me because they have health issues or they want to boost their career. I also have clients who engage my services as they move into a new home – I help them set up the space with the best energy possible.

Lucy’s experience as a feng shui master in Singapore

Where are you from and how long have you been living in Singapore?

I’m originally from Germany and have been living in Singapore for 18 years now.

What got you into feng shui?

I first discovered feng shui by pure chance when I lived in London – I was intrigued by it! After reading about it for a while, I had our own apartment assessed by a local feng shui master, which had amazing results! I’ve been a strong believer in it ever since.

Soon after we moved to Singapore, I met Lillian Too, my idol and teacher. She inspired me to study with her in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and become a feng shui consultant myself. In 2011, I set up my own consultancy, Feng Shui Focus in Singapore.

What’s your favourite aspect of working as a feng shui consultant?

I love helping my clients achieve their goals and desires with the help of feng shui. My greatest motivation comes from my client’s success and happiness.

Any memorable past cases of luck improving after a consultation?

One of my very first clients lived in a terraced house and the husband was about to lose his job.

Their dining room was in the Fame & Recognition sector of their home. It had a blue feature wall – blue represents the water element, which is counterproductive here because the Fame & Recognition sector belongs to the fire element.

My suggestion was to paint the wall red, which they followed promptly. While this didn’t avert the pending retrenchment, the husband received an unexpected redundancy package. Not long after, new opportunities opened up not just for the husband but also his wife.
