Feng Shui has been used for centuries to bring good energy to a home. But if you find the ideas too confusing to bring to fruition by yourself, you can hire a Feng Shui consultant to do this for you. This guide will help you determine how to hire a Feng Shui consultant.
STEP 2:
Choose one type of Feng Shui. To avoid confusion within your home, it's best to stick with one method of Feng Shui. Do some research on both types of Feng Shui. Decide whether you prefer Chinese Feng Shui or Western Feng Shui. Then ensure that anyone who consults you on the Feng Shui in your home sticks to the principles of that specific method.
STEP 3:
Consider your lifestyle. There are varying levels of Feng Shui that a Feng Shui consultant can bring to your home. Ask potential Feng Shui consultants what their styles are (modern? traditional? mixture of both?) Perhaps you prefer a certain style of practicing Feng Shui. Either method of practicing Feng Shui is acceptable, since all consultants will deal with the movement of chi in your home (just at varying levels). You just need to choose a Feng Shui consultant that will make your home fit your lifestyle and match your personal beliefs about Feng Shui and chi.
STEP 4:
Ask how your consultant was trained. A good indication of the quality of a Feng Shui consultant's work is where she was trained. Ask if she had a mentor, if she's got experience, or it her know-how is strictly book smarts. Quiz her on certain concepts of Feng Shui to ensure that she truly understands the concepts. Otherwise, no amount of training or experience with Feng Shui will benefit you.
STEP 5:
Ask how you'll be involved. Some homeowners prefer to have a lot of say in how their homes are transformed using the methods of Feng Shui. Others would prefer to sit back and watch. It's your preference, but ensure that you will be allowed to reach your preferred level of involvement with this Feng Shui consultant.
STEP 6:
Discuss cost. As with any person you are hiring, talk to your Feng Shui consultant about the fees she charges for her services. Are you getting an estimate, a flat rate, or a per hour rate? Will she give you a few suggestions based on your lifestyle and your budget? Or are you just going to have to foot whatever bill she hands you? You don't want any surprises when your Feng Shui consultant is finished, so determine exact cost before the work begins.
STEP 7:
Ask for references. Don't assume that you've found the perfect Feng Shui consultant until you have talked to a few of the consultant's other clients. Ask previous clients about her work ethics, her style and their overall satisfaction. This is the best way to reassure yourself that you've chosen the right Feng Shui consultant.
