Special Guest Janet Louie: Taoist Geomancy - Feng Shui is often referred to as geomancy, especially the styles of Feng Shui that include reading the energy of the land known as San Yuan Feng Shui. However Taoist (Dao) geomancy takes things to a deeper level, by tapping into a deeper level of both your intuition and unseen earth energies Taoist Feng Shui can address issues that a typical Feng Shui master may not be aware of. Harmful energies or disturbances that can be found within the earth's natural electromagnetic field as well as underground disturbances such as water or fault lines. It's also believed that land can hold historic trauma from previous residents, war etc. These energies are believed to have a negative impact on human health, however they can be detected using various tools and techniques using Tao Gemoancy . Taoist geomancy aims to identify and mitigate geopathic stress & trauma to the land by looking at factors deep in the earth harmonizing the flow of qi, promoting positive energy, and creating a more harmonious living environment. By incorporating principles of feng shui and other ancient practices, Taoist geomancy seeks to create spaces that support physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. ------------------- Contact & connect with Janet Louie : Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janet.louie.39/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/janet.louie.39/ Facebook pagesGolden Phoenix Feng Shui: https://www.facebook.com/goldenphoenixfengshui.thefirebird Chinese Metaphysics Network/and Study Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2297520963758347/ Metaview, Wellness, and Qi Men Study/Network Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/278589759236905/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/louie_janet LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janet-louie/ Activated Soft Mirror Foils: https://aeiwellness.com/activated-soft-mirror-foils?search=mirror%20foils ------------- Call in & ask questions: ⁠https://anchor.fm/learnfengshui/message⁠ Free Floor plan mapping: ⁠learnfengshuinow@gmail.com⁠ Connect on social media & contact me HERE: ⁠https://linktr.ee/learnfengshuinow⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learnfengshui/support

An often overlooked but important consideration in Feng Shui is soil quality. The quality of the soil has a significant impact on the principles of Feng Shui. According to Feng Shui, the soil quality determines the flow of energy or Qi of the land. If the soil is fertile and healthy, it is believed that the energy will be positive and conducive to growth and prosperity. On the other hand, if the soil is poor and unhealthy, it can lead to stagnant or negative energy, hindering growth and causing problems.
