Metaphysics is the umbrella term covering many modalities; all dealing with the intangible aspects of our life matters, as expressed through our health, relationships and wealth. Classical Feng Shui is the metaphysical tool we can apply to assess, quantify, and alter the energetic forces contained within the buildings we live and work in; which directly influence matters of health, relationships and wealth as they connect with the buildings we live and work in.
Meta (Greek translation for 'after') + physics = all things that exist after the laws of physics.
Do you recall feeling different being on vacation? Would you accept that perhaps the energy of the location itself was a contributing factor to the change in your feelings, rather than just having a break from your regular routine?
The two main tools used in applying metaphysics to a building design is Classical Feng Shui and BaZi. Both with ancient origins from the far east but as powerful and effective today since their creation.
Classical Feng Shui provides the knowledge and proven techniques to strategically arrange a building's sitting/facing direction and interior layout to ensure the building receives optimal positive energy already present in the location. If the building is charged with supportive energy than the people using this space also receive this energetic boost. To help you grasp this idea: imagine how you feel in a dark, messy room as compared to in a bright, clean room? Do you feel better in the bright, clean space? I expect you are saying yes. While the energetic qualities of a property cannot be seen right away, it does preset itself overtime. For example, when we compare two homes of the same age but one is in considerable better condition than the other. Obviously, the well kept home was occupied with owners who are energetic with the financial means to maintain the property; because the building supported them well.
For home and work spaces which already exist, Classical Feng Shui can be utilized to assess the qualities of the energy present in the space; and to alter, maximize, minimize, or re-direct this energy to improve the life quality of the occupants. While applying Classical Feng Shui after a property is built; the ideal application is to plan the new build (or renovation) while the building plans are being developed (before construction begins).
BaZi deals with the astrological factors connected with a persons date of birth (hour, day, month, year). While most practitioners use BaZi to predict possible future life events, determine most fitting career choice, or financial matters, I prefer to use this tool to connect individuals to a home, energetically. For example: If I see my clients BaZi chart shows a lack of Noble People in their daily lives, I can position this person in a home where the Noble People sector is strong and accessible; thereby, giving them a second chance to receive the help of Noble People which is a natural shortfall for them since birth.
The metaphysical influence of the buildings we live and work in can be felt both short-term and long-term; and affects each person differently since we are all unique beings with our own unique energy field.
Another metaphysics tool I like to use is some cases is Qi Men Feng Shui. This tool helps me to identify energetic influences within a landed property connected with spirit realms. While this is not my specialty; I do include this in my metaphysics tool box.
From my experience, there are many metaphysical modalities that exist to help us solve life issues relating to health, wealth, and relationships. Metaphysical arts are complex and require formal training under an achieved practitioner. While Feng Shui and BaZi information is easily available with a simple online search, I do advise you to consider the authenticity of the source before experimenting with the energies in your space.

To help grasp the concept that the spaces we live and work in directly affect our health, relationships (and wealth) matters we must first understand the 10 tenants of Classical Feng Shui (metaphysics in general):
1. Cosmic Trinity: Heaven (qi men) - Earth (feng shui) - Human (free will)
2. Humans Are 2-Part Beings: 1/2 Heaven (spirit) + 1/2 Earth (physical body)
3. Principles of Yin and Yang
4. The Five Elements (fire, earth, metal, wood, water)
5. Energy And Time Are Cyclic Not Linear
6. Mountain (pure yin) Influences The Health And Quality Of The People In Their Vicinity
7. Water (pure yang) Influences Wealth and Matters Outside the Dwelling (how you earn your income)
8. Mountains Produce Qi (energy), This Qi Is Distributed By The Wind; And Gathers At The Boundaries Of Water
9. Early Heaven Bagua Depicts The Perfect Universe - Ideal State
10. Later Heaven Bagua Depicts An Out Of Balance Universe - Life As We Know It!
Classical Feng Shui is the metaphysics tool we need to maximize the benefits we receive from Mother Earth's bountiful natural resources, both in physical and intangible form.
MISCONCEPTION #1: Classical Feng Shui is about improving luck. This is false.
Classical Feng Shui is about being aware of natural energetic forces which are affecting you through your home/work space; and applying proven techniques to energize, balance or perhaps weakened these forces to create improvements in matters of health, relationships and wealth.
Fortunately, even the short-term energies require two to three weeks to begin affecting the occupants of a space. Unless you will be staying in the same accommodation for more than three weeks, there is no need to invest time assessing the Classical Feng Shui or Qi Men Feng Shui of the location.
We also consider that while on vacation, we spend most of our days and evenings outside exploring and enjoying the local nature; leaving little time for the energetic influence of the accommodation to affect us at.
However, if you enjoy spending more than three weeks at your favorite getaway, I highly recommend investing in a metaphysical check-up, just to be proactive. Especially so, if you plan to stay in a new location for more than three consecutive weeks.
Mother Earth provides all the resources we need to live well on planet earth. Included in her bountiful resources is energy rooted in natural land/water formations along with influence from planets in our galaxy. Two tools which can be used to identify and receive the energetic gifts from Mother Earth and the universe are Feng Shui and BaZi. When applied in combination with local environment factors(i.e. climate & location of sun) and strategic floor layouts with special design features applied by a skilled building designer (trained in applying these tools), is able to create buildings that provide maximum benefit to the occupants.
From my experience, building a home is a large investment that will influence the owners for many years, so it makes perfect sense to take the extra step and assess the energetic forces that will affect the landed building and the owners.
Applying Classical Feng Shui (in combination with BaZi) in a building design sets an energetic foundation that supports the owner(s) in reaching their full potential in matters of health, relationships and wealth.

BaZi is a form of astrology which provides insight into a person's basic nature, natural born talents and abilities, potential health concerns, character strengths/weaknesses and all matters in between. BaZi consultants endeavor to predict outcomes along a life path (very much like western astrology) and can assist in choosing career paths, etc.; however, I use this tool to provide direction for a more personalized application of Classical Feng Shui as part of my building design process.
Example: A family has a child with several health afflictions (confirmed with BaZi) and are investing in a new home. Considering the child's health struggles, I will focus on tapping Heaven Doctor (Eight Mansions) and healing stars (timely Flying Stars) for this child's bedroom. Other Feng Shui factors are assessed but this is too complex for an introduction example. The insight provided with BaZi, in combination with Feng Shui once applied to a home layout assists the child to reach his/her full life potential; which directly improves overall life quality for this child and future adult.
