How fast does Feng Shui work?
Many people ask me, “How fast does feng shui work?”
That’s because most of you want to know how soon you can expect to see results in your life after implementing feng shui in your home. Those with little knowledge and experience may have pessimistic or overly optimistic expectations about how much and how soon the changes they make to their home can begin to help them by having an impact on their lives.
How quickly and to what extent feng shui can begin to have an impact on your life depends on your personal circumstances. There is a myriad of possible scenarios related to each person’s love life and relationships, health and wellness, wealth matters, and career goals. The feng shui concepts that are best to implement for a specific problem have different levels of success and various timelines until we start noticing improvements in our lives. It also depends on whether the problem you are trying to eradicate from your life is persistent, which will require a long-term solution and therefore will take longer to resolve, or whether the problem is only temporary and therefore may be resolved earlier. . Examples of persistent problems include the following:
• Despite my efforts, I have never been able to save money
• I feel like my love life has been non-existent for years
Long-term problems like these require long-term solutions. To think that you will be able to adjust the energy balance in your home and start seeing immediate results is unrealistic. If you make the right changes to your home, you can expect to see modest results within a few months, depending on the severity of the situation.
Examples of situations in your life that may be temporary and therefore will require different solutions include things like:
• In the last few months, I feel that my relationship with my other half has stagnated and lacks passion.
• I’m recently having some difficulty growing my personal investments (a problem I didn’t have until recently)
Another point to remember is that feng shui relates to your luck on Earth, and your own personal effort to overcome your own challenges is another factor that will affect the amount of time it takes. In Chinese culture there is also ‘Man Luck’ (which is your own personal luck based on your efforts in life) and ‘Heaven Luck’ (which is instilled in you at birth and is something you have no control over) . Although we can’t do much to control our Heaven Luck, we can do things to adjust our ‘Man Luck’ and our Earth Luck. Some quick tweaks to your home can give results in a few days if the problem itself is temporary. This issue may be caused by the Chinese calendar changing year (starting on February 4 of each year), which means that the power in your home may have been suddenly altered. In these cases, making the right adjustments to your environment can have almost immediate effects, but it requires that you have enough knowledge to be able to make the right changes to your home.
