Feng Shui for Modern Business
With the tremendous progress in Information Technology, the knowledge of feng shui and other metaphysical tools has been spreading fast and gaining much international recognition over the past 20 years.
There is a vast treasure of Chinese metaphysical tools which can be employed not only for prosperity and harmony at home, but also for important aspects within offices, shops and other commercial enterprises to enhance safety, harmony, health and profitability.
Many business clients now realize the significance of applying feng shui in the design of office and commercial buildings, they use Four Pillars of Destiny as a reference when engaging key staff members, and employ I Ching or Qi Men in making important business investment decisions. Many financial analyst, property developers and stock brokers also include feng shui factor in their forecasts.
In 2024, on the 20th Anniversary of the IFSC, we are proud to present to the public and the business world the various feng shui tools and knowledge as an important factor contributing to the success of modern businesses today.

Fengshui for Modern Times Fengshui is the art and science of achieving balance and harmony taking into account the tangible and the intangibles, derived from the principles of Yi Jing, the dichotomy of yin and yang, and the interaction of the five elements in nature. The modern world is evolving more rapidly than ever before with new breakthroughs in technology, inventions, concepts, and logistic alignments that spawn new demands and adaptions of human behaviour, individually and collectively. One such game-changers is the advent of A.I. (artificial intelligence). This presentation outlines such a revolution of human and social conditions, and explores the role Fengshui can play in coping with such a challenging time. Indeed, it is Changing Fengshui for a Changing Time! |

The trick is to use the correct formula in its own space. For example, Flying Star formulae are designed to measure the feng shui quality of interior spaces, but are not meant to be used externally to design a garden or place a fountain. Instead, San He formulae are designed for this area. Likewise, Eight Mansion formulae do not clash with Flying Star formulae. Listen to this talk to understand which formula is to be used in which part of the environment. |
