Feng Shui for the Clinic – Lillian Garnier Bridges, Lillian Bridges

1 DVD ca, 180 min, english

Feng Shui is based on ancient Taoist beliefs about nature and a human being’s place within
it. The primary purpose of Feng Shui is to align people with their environment to maximize
health and well-being. As in Chinese Medicine, qi is the most important concept. Qi can be
found in all living things and is read and analyzed so that a person can adapt and access the
helpful qi and avoid harmful qi. Feng Shui literally means the “shady side of the hill” which
implies a sunny side or the concept of yin and yang. It has since been known to mean “the
way of wind and water” also indicating the need to be aware of these primary forces in the
world. Qi can also be divided into the three zones of heaven, human and earth and the
vibrational families of the five elements. All of these aspects need to be balanced for health
and healing to occur. When individuals are suffering from poor health or disease, it is
extremely important to evaluate the conditions of their homes and offices. Making changes in
the flow of qi, involving the healing power of color and incorporating personal symbolism can
all improve an individual’s emotional, psychological and physical health. It is also vital for
practitioners to become aware of the feng shui of their clinics and treatment rooms to
facilitate the healing process. In this workshop, students will learn the fundamental principles
of Feng Shui from the ancient Form School tradition and how to apply them in medical
settings as well as for the purpose of counseling patients about the use of Feng Shui in their
home and office environments.
Creating healing environments helps to eliminate the “band aid effect” of treatment where the
progress gained in the clinic is lost upon the patient’s return home. Incorporating Feng Shui
into the healing process ensures that patient’s and practitioners harness the most positive
elements of the natural world.
