Cynthia Chan teaches Classical Feng Shui

to calculate the Classical Feng Shui formulas to see what was going on in their chi. She was fascinated at how the mathematical and elemental formulas told the story they experienced! After a couple years of observation, she experimented with implementing elemental strategies into specific areas of their homes and businesses and the results were profound.

After implementing her recommended strategies like placing the bed, desk, or elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) in specific locations, people reported results like less anger and arguing, reduced pain, increased sales, fewer troubles with kids or employees, legal issues subsiding, social interaction increased, romance sparked, money flowed in, and much more.

Another advantage of Classical Feng Shui is its ability to help us through our life struggles by giving a head’s up when challenging cycles are approaching, with awareness of the yin and yang properties of the chi. This enables us to be proactive in taking measures to reduce or even eliminate unfavorable outcomes. In addition, placing strategies within our environment will shift the chi that triggers havoc in our lives, making it easier to make shifts that bring beneficial outcomes to our lives.
