A costly mistake and a lesson
to us all.
We had been called in by a lovely family in London, on a recommendation
from this persons Sister who we had consulted the previous month (March
2002). Both families had recently employed the services of a well-known
so-called expert within a few weeks of each other in December 2001.
As much as I would love to tell you this person’s name, I do
not really fancy any legal battles and I believe “Bad Karma” will get the
better of this person eventually. I have listed a few key points worth noting
if you ever consider a consultation:
v
The main householder is a Chen 3 Trigram, which is a wood
element. He was told to place a row of eight metal Chinese coins under
his mattress to cure his stress problem. The effect was instant, not in
a good way though, metal cuts through wood (client) thus causing sleepless
nights and all sorts of other problems.
v
They were advised to put fire in an area that had the dreaded
earth stars 2 & 5, this is the worst combination of stars and placing
fire in this area increases its deadly powers as fire feeds earth.
v
Told to place a Ba Gua mirror inside their home,
there are two types of Ba Gua mirrors, before and after heaven sequence.
This person was told to place the before heaven Ba Gua inside their home
which should never be done these are meant to be used outside only. We
only sell the before heaven Ba Gua as the after heaven should only be
used by an expert.
v
Practitioner turned up without a compass and used an A to
Z road map book to find her compass directions, I really do not need to
say anymore, considering that a qualified Feng Shui practitioner works
within a half a degree accuracy of the compass.
There were many other disastrous results from this
consultation, to long to list.
Conclusion:
Whatever school of Feng Shui you follow please
don’t take this the wrong way, if you are a practitioner and use “Black
Hat” Feng Shui and it works for you, fine, my only gripe is someone who
practises a form of Feng Shui that we could teach in a day and charges
absurd amounts of money and causes problems for their clients. In my opinion
it is no different to a Doctor reading a couple of books on surgery, and
then going out and performing major open-heart surgery. Don’t let this
put you off having a consultation, there are many highly trained practitioners
who provide an excellent and honest service, they could have paid £35.00
for one of our on-line consultation and had ten times more information
not only for their house but also for them as individuals.
The cost for their
mistakes:
v
2 x four hour consultations = £2.0000 (two thousand pounds)
(£250.00 per hour)
v
After consultation, telephone support £250.00 per hour,
payable in advance.
v
Estimated products they had to buy on recommendation £300.00
v
Their situation worsened after the consultations.
Letter from our client
23rd May 2002
We would like to express our thanks and appreciation
for the Feng Shui Consultancy that Michael (Feng Shui Store) has performed
for us recently. We were impelled
to contact Michael after we had a rather unrewarding and very costly meeting
with another well advertised Feng Shui Consultant. My wife and I felt for some time that we wanted
to have an expert come to our house and provide us with comprehensive
analysis of the Feng Shui principles and how we could benefit from them. Subsequently we were informed of a Feng Shui
Practioner by my sister who had previously used her so we decided to book
an appointment.
What
we found rather strange from the onset was she came to our house unprepared
and even forgot to bring her compass, which I understand is a very important
tool. As a result she suggested
that she could use an A to Z (A-Z is a street map of London) because she
was able to find her bearing from that in relation to our house. Rather than answering most of our pressing questions she spent most
of the time informing us of what direction we should be travelling in
if we were to go on holiday and also that we should take a trip around
the world in order to rectify the imbalance caused by our house being
in the wrong direction! Upon hearing
this we started to have our doubts as this suggestion was not at all practical
or affordable. Believe it or not
this took all of four hours and we did say to her that we were working
to a budget and at £250 per hour we wanted her to concentrate on what
we wanted out of the meeting and not after four hour be told that we should
do a round the world trip!
She
suggested that we buy certain items from her website so that we can place
them in certain areas to enhance our wealth and relationships. Upon buying these items and placing them where
she told us to place them we found a definite worsening of our situation.
People in the house became more irritable, our cashflow worsened
and we were feeling very tired all the time.
May sound strange but it is a reality of what happened.
What we also found strange was that she used a standard template
for each house which depicts the various areas such as relationships,
wealth etc. Common sense told us that each house is different and so are the
people in that house so how could a common template be used for everyone
in the world?
My
sister, who had previously used her, had also experienced a worsened situation
after her visit. Subsequently
she put us in touch with Michael who from the onset, prior to visiting
us, took detailed information about each person in the house so he could
prepare a comprehensive analysis of each person.
The analysis took into account Dates of Birth, time of birth and
more which led to a detailed account of what direction were best suited
to that person and those that were not.
Upon visiting us Michael talked to us in detail to see what we
were trying to gain from the meeting, how he would be conducting his time
and generally walked around the house. Striking of all was that he discovered we had
a number of Black lines running through the house. These are just a natural magnetic field that
runs around the world, which many people know about. He identified these as a major cause of unrest and general cause
of tiredness which we had been feeling.
He told me how I could identify them which really was an eye opener
and completely quelled any doubts I may have had.
Michael practised his skills learnt from a 5-6000 old practice
and removed the black Lines. These
lines were running up to my bedroom which would have been a cause for
me not sleeping very well. After
they have been removed my sleep has been wonderful, no restless nights! Upon examining what the other consultant had done he was baffled
as to why she would have suggested doing such things as they were largely
detrimental. For example she had
told me to place an eight coin bookmark under my mattress to make me relaxed
and less stressed. After doing
this I felt worse and the reason behind it was that my element is wood
and the metal from the coin cuts into the wood thus making things worse! I can tell you we took everything out that she had told us to put
in. She had also advised of placing
a Bagu Mirror in the house, however from reading other books and also
from Michael, we found out that this was probably one of the worst things
we could have done. He advised
where to put it and why. From
his advice we are now seeing a positive turnaround and feel much more
happier and content. There is a general feeling of happiness and
well being in the house which other people have noticed.
We
feel we were taken advantage of by the first consultant that came to us.
She gave really bad advice, came unprepared and really was only
interested in increasing her time with us so she could clock up a nice
fee. I would suggest to anyone
thinking of having a Feng Shui Consultant to think about using someone
of Michael’s (Feng Shui Store) calibre
before arranging a visit. He has proven himself to be very versatile, informative and practical
in his approach. More to the point
he is honest and has your best interest to heart, which I cannot say for
the same for the other consultant.
Our Final Conclusion:
Over the years we have seen and heard of many consultations carried out
by so-called practitioners, we even have them emailing us for advice on
how to improve their own situation. Many of them subscribe to our newsletter
and copy the contents, we are only human and do not profess to be the
leading experts in Feng Shui, far from it. Some Masters do charge thousands
of pounds for a consultation and in my opinion they are worth every penny,
however, your fees should be relative to your experience and also a desire
to help others, whilst our experience and training is very high we do
not take advantage, in fact our cheaper on-line consultations contain
more valuable information than some practitioners have in overall knowledge.

you off completely, and would like further details on our traditional
