Feng Shui

Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is known as the ancient Chinese art and science of the dynamic relationship between humans and their environment. It is the science of making you feel more comfortable in your own home. Basically, it involves analysis of the individual property to find any problem that affects the normal flow of energy. By identifying these problems, we can change the imbalance with techniques and remedies.

Feng Shui can be understood by using the metaphors of medicine, i.e. seeing a building like a person. We assume that buildings are static objects, therefore dead space. However, true dead spaces are areas such as cemeteries, tombs and mausoleums. We intuitively recognize that cemeteries or dead areas are for the deceased, not suitable for the living. Our dwelling may be inanimate, but the space within the building is continuously changing. It is our living quarters and as we live in this space, we are influenced by its nature.

All living things are subject to illness.  When a house is sick, the inhabitants become sick, i.e. a cluttered house is similar to a “constipated” house and its inhabitants will also be “constipated”, they may feel irritated and have physical constipation, or they may feel blocked in different aspects of their life such as relationship, career, finance, etc…. A house with a straight pathway from the front door to the back door has “diarrhea”.  Everything entering the house will go straight out without nourishing the rest of the house.  The house is therefore depleted of nutrition. People living in this house may experience the symptoms of diarrhea including fatigue, malnutrition, and ill-feeling.  They may find that they miss a lot of opportunities in life such as promotions, not meeting the “right guy”, etc…. A house with a stairway at the entrance is “anorexic”.  Anything entering the house goes out right away.  The house is also depleted energetically like the “diarrhea” house and the effects on the inhabitants are similar.

When we are sick, we go to a doctor.  When our pet is sick, we bring it to the veterinarian.  Similarly, when our house is sick, we bring in a Feng Shui practitioner.  Feng Shui problems can be considered as imbalances affecting the health of the space within a building.  Feng Shui practitioners are healers for sick buildings; they assess the “illness” of the house or imbalance causing problems to the inhabitants and treat it using different Feng Shui “cures” or “remedies”.  A Feng Shui consultation can be compared to a visit to a doctor.  Like any other illness, sometimes one visit to the doctor is all you need; sometimes several visits are needed to correct the problems.  On rare occasions, the disease is terminal and there is no cure except to move.

No. Feng Shui is not a spiritual path or a religion.  The goal achieved through Feng Shui is to improve life, not to attain enlightenment.  It is an art and science based on five thousand years of Chinese philosophy and wisdom using natural laws and observation of phenomena occurring in nature.  When you look at most of the approaches, it boils down to common sense approaches to make the building feel better.

Anyone wanting to live in a healthy and harmonious environment would benefit from a Feng Shui consultation.

Anyone who (after moving to a new dwelling) begins having difficulties with health, relationships, career, or finances can use Feng Shui to remedy the problems.  It is also recommended for people who have dealt with these problems for a period of time and feel they have exhausted their resources, or for those who just want to improve on some aspects of their lives.

Before remodeling or buying a new house, a Feng Shui consultation could prevent unforeseen catastrophes.

Feng Shui problems can be man-made.  Some are pre-included with the building when we first move into it.  Its architectural construction is similar to the physical body.  Some houses are designed “handicapped” without an extremity.  Others are built with congenital illnesses such as the “diarrhea” plagued or ”anemic” house (see “What is Feng Shui?” section).  Remodeling is like having an operation done to the building, and sometimes accidents happen when it is not done properly according to Feng Shui rules.  That is why a Feng Shui consultation is recommended before remodeling to prevent post-traumatic syndrome.  Toxic chemicals and overuse of electrical equipment (causing EMF problems) lead to modern Feng Shui problems.  ”Constipation” arises from cluttering and mis-positioning furniture.  Haunted houses can be considered as having a chronic infection of ghosts.  All of these and other man-made problems can be addressed readily with Dr. Eap’s Basic and Advanced Feng Shui consultations.

The land on which the house is built carries the “genetics” and ”constitution of the property.  A well-constituted property needs no remedy and the inhabitants benefit from it greatly.  “Genetic” problems arise from the existence of underground water streams, fault lines, spirals, caves, black streams, etc…. Like any other genetic diseases, there is no cure for these natural problems;  Feng Shui can only alleviate the symptoms.

Some of the constitutional problems come from the negativity of unknown ancient burial, ritual and ceremonial sites existing in the land.  These are man-made; therefore, they can be remedied.  Land problems and remedies are addressed in the Earth Energies/Geomancy consultation.

Feng Shui remedies or cures are ways to negate or minimize Feng Shui problems.  Some of them also aim to promote life improvements such as cures for prosperity, relationships, career, etc.  Feng Shui could be as simple as moving furniture to a different location.  They could be static objects such as crystals, a picture or a statue.  They could be moving objects such as water fountains, wind chimes and mobiles.  Light and plants are also among the popular Feng Shui cures.  As more Feng Shui problems arise from modern building, modern cures are also developed such as Qi cards and anti-EMF devices (EMF refers to electromagnetic fields).

This varies from house to house. Some people see immediate results, but typically it takes less than six months for most of our clients. Other people might need another consultation since there can be many layers to be peeled away until the home and/or property is restored to optimal health.  It is most accurate to view a Feng Shui practitioner as a doctor, not a magician.

Yes, in fact it is very safe and animals benefit from the changes just as much as humans. It is best that the pets not be present during the actual consultation since they are a potential distraction.

Every house is unique and different from others.  Houses, properties and family vary in size and complexity.  Each of these factors (along with others) affects the depth of consultation needed. 

These following consultations can be done all at once or one at the time:

Basic Feng Shui consultation:

  • Addresses problems arising from the architecture of the house, its contents and its surrounding environment.

Advanced Feng Shui consultation:

  • Compass Feng Shui Consultation: addresses the energetic compatibility between the house and the inhabitants.
  • Flying Stars Feng Shui Consultation: addresses the energetic compatibility of the house and universal energy within a 20 years period.  It also addresses the energetic change annually.

Earth Energies evaluation:

  • Addresses problems from the land constitution.

An initial interview, which is first needed to evaluate the problems you wish to address using Feng Shui.  This can be done in person or over the phone and lasts anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour.  We will need a floor plan of the property to scale and prepare for the on-site visit, which can take a few hours.

At the on-site visit, we will assess further the property and the surrounding neighborhood structurally and energetically for the problem(s).   We will go room to room with you to point out the Feng Shui problems and recommend remedies for you.  When needed, we will suggest the best locations of furniture.  This visit can last 2 to 6 hours.

A follow-up visit may be needed after a few weeks to ensure the client has carried out the remedies appropriately (between 1/2 to 3 hours).

After the first initial interview, in addition to the property floor plan, we also need the year the house was built, the move-in date, and the birth date of each family member/employee.  We then calculate and prepare Feng Shui charts of the house and each inhabitant (averaging 1 to 4 hours per project. Note: additional time is needed for each additional inhabitant).

Afterwards, we meet you to explain the compatibility of your house and you, giving you the best and worst directions, auspicious and inauspicious areas of your home for a 20 years period or for the present year (depending on the consultation you want) and will suggest remedies needed.  Average length of consultation is 2 to 5 hours.

Our fees vary depending on the site, project and level of consultation.  There is a minimum fee of $360.00 for Feng Shui & Geomancy consultations and $1,000.00 for Earth Energies evaluation.  An additional fee applies for travel time if the project is 60 miles or more away from Charlotte, North Carolina.

We are happy to provide you with specific information that would relate to your properties.  We are looking forward to hearing from you.

I came to see Dr Eap for two purposes. The first was to co-ordinate care for two long-term medical conditions; the second was to see if she could help me deal with grief I continue to have over the passing of my Mom. I was also grieving the death of our pet.

For the first issue, Dr Eap suggested certain supplements that will build my health to a better level, so as to compliment the medical course I am following. I feel much better, and will continue with these supplements.

As to the second purpose, we met twice to deal with my grief. I am so very happy to report that our sessions worked wonders for me. I feel lighter, like a great weight has been lifted from my heart. I feel connected to those I had thought lost to me.

I am so glad I met with her for the help with the grief. It changed my life for the better.

-Ann B. Matthews, NC

Dr. Eap is a healer in the truest sense of the word.  She not only has her Naturopathic degree from one of the most esteemed programs in the country, she also lived and studied with ancient healers and monks in Asia.  She is a true holistic practitioner– mind, body, spirit.  This is an experience unlike any other…

She uses kinesiology to test the body for weaknesses.  She then prescribes any array of herbal supplements, and other unconventional treatments.  Sometimes it feels a little voo-doo-ish, but conventional doctors are just “practicing” medicine and dispensing potent drugs with known side effects… both seem scary to me, but the natural approach seems less so.  And, honestly, I showed up barely able to function from tiredness and fatigue, beaten up from medical procedures and under the care of an oncologist (for a noncancerous condition).  She really restored my energy.

I credit Dr. Eap for restoring my health back to a place of wellness.

–It is expensive and not covered by insurance–
–I eventually had to stop going, the supplements were getting to be too many for me to keep up with–
–I will definitely go again, when my pocketbook and time can manage it–

I have see dramatic shifts in my overall wellness from seeing Dr. Eap.  She is the only medical practitioner that I see, and haven’t not seen a western medicine doctor in many years.  Her ability to communicate with my body, and translate the messages my body are sending myself and her is amazing.  I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking physical, mental or spiritual change in their life.  She has been the greatest gift in my journey!

I have never met a doctor that is more thorough at healing than Dr. Eap. I have been a patient of hers for 17 years and even though I moved to Portland, OR over 12 years ago, I still continue to schedule visits with her twice a year in Charlotte. She identifies the root cause of symptoms and heals on all levels, including physicial and emotional. I started seeing Dr. Eap because I was suffering from gastrointestinal issues and anxiety, which were deeply affecting my quality of life. After countless doctors that diagnosed IBS and depression, prescribing drugs that never made me feel better, I felt that there must be a better way. I really don’t know what my life would be like now if I hadn’t found Dr. Eap. She was the answer to bringing me back to health. The symptoms were gone and the prescription drugs were gone forever.

Since that time, I have seen her for a variety of physical and emotional ailments. After 9/11, I became terrified to fly. (This from a person who lived overseas for 5 years as a young adult, loved to travel, and once had almost applied for a airline stewardess job.) I was living in Portland at the time and tried desperately to find someone to help me. I had a fear so great that I would get terrible anxiety symptoms weeks before trips and would cry from the time we left home until the plane landed at my destination. I saw traditional Western doctors, who prescribed more drugs as well as naturopaths and other alternative healers. Everyone seemed baffled and nothing made me feel better. I decided to see Dr. Eap when I was visiting family in Charlotte and she managed to competely erase my fears. For my return flight, I kept waiting to feel the dread and fear, but it never came. Ever since then, I am able to fly easily and at peace.

For a long time, I only saw her when I was quite ill and really needed help. However, for the past few years, I’ve maintain a schedule of regular visits and feel that I am in the best health ever. I highly recommed Dr. Eap to everyone.

I met Dr. Eap in 1996, shortly after she came to Charlotte, N C.

She has brought under control the asthma and allergies that had been a part of my life since the age of three years. At one time I had taken allergy shots twice per week. By 1996, the shots were no longer effective. Now I seldom have problems with allergies.

When the medical doctor told me in 1999, that I was going deaf in one ear and would soon need a hearing aid. I discussed it with Dr. Eap. She put me on a medication that I took for one year. I still take it whenever my ear hurts. I have never returned to the ENT doctor for any additional help. I do not need a hearing aide.

Most recently, I attended one of Dr. Eap’s group sessions on weight loss and total detoxification of the entire body. It is a 3 week regimen that requires taking some cleansing pills and drinking a protein shake several times a day. The routine was not difficult. During the past year, I dieted most days but not rigorously. I lost from 195 to 160 lbs. during the year. I am a senior citizen but I am on no medications that are prescribed by a medical doctor. Each year I have the mandatory office visit with the medical doctor who checks heart, blood and cholesterol levels. All my reports are good and he knows that I visit Dr. Eap.

Many of my old ailments have been brought under control. They cannot all be listed here.

I thank Dr. Eap for moving to Charlotte and helping me to live a healthier and happier life.

D. M., Fort Mill, SC

I am a cancer survivor of (7) years. I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and went to conventional doctors. I received conventional treatment – chemotherapy, radiation, pills etc and I also endured a stem cell transplant. While this helped fight the cancer it was also toxic and I did not feel very well. I suffered from severe fatigue and my body was not at peace. I sought out other means of keeping healthy.

I met Dr. Leang Kim Eap who is a doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. I learned with the help of Dr. Eap alternative methods of taking care of myself. I learned extensively about nutrition, botanicals, acupressure, homeopathy and aromatherapy.

The treatments and knowledge has given me comfort physically, spiritually and emotionally. I have more energy, flexibility and endurance even my golf game has improved. I don’t have aches, pains and fatigue like I did before and most importantly my cancer is in remission. I feel the healthiest I have ever been and I thank Dr. Eap for all of the knowledge, support and continued alternative methods and treatments that have made my quality of life incredible.

I was skeptical of Feng Shui until I met Dr. Eap. We were getting ready to sell our house, and she was recommended to me. It wasn’t until I sat down with her and started talking about all the things going on in my life, fertility issues, marriage issues, money issues, that I realized they all started when we bought the house several years prior. She walked me through the house and was able to physically show me where the weaknesses were in the house and how they affected me emotionally and physically. A huge revelation was the fact that we had two different staircases. To quote Dr Eap, “Two staircases, two different ideas.” And it was so true as my husband used one staircase and I the other. She was also able to identify a waterline running under our bed that was the partially to blame for the fertility problems. After Dr Eap was Feng Shuing through our house, the relationship with my husband improved and our ability to hold onto money increased tremendously. I even had her Feng Shui my office at Wachovia Brokerage where I was Sr Vice President,and our sailboat which we currently live on in the Caribbean! I will never buy another house again without consulting Dr Eap. I am forever grateful to her and her abilities, plus, I really like, and admire her as a person! Thank you so much Dr Eap for all you have done for my family!

Carla BeDell, Caribbean Islands

I have enjoyed my job at a small company for nearly four years. Better put, I had been enjoying what I was doing within the company. However, I frequently felt irritable and mentally drained at the end of each day. Relations with co-workers put a lot of strain on me.

Within an hour after the Feng Shui consultation with Dr. Eap, the transformation of my personal office space had begun. Several re-arrangements were made, most subtle, but with great results. Other fixes have been implemented over the past few weeks, with more enhancements gradually to follow.

The difference is amazing! I feel very thankful for my office and my current position. My improved work environment means I feel better and have more energy at the end of the day to enjoy other things in life. Dr. Eap and Linh, you have changed my life for the better.

Lisa M., Charlotte, N

In spring of 2000 I engaged Leang & Linh to help me conduct a Feng Shui analysis of my residential property, house & .3 acre lot in the Eastover section of Charlotte.

What these two sisters found was truly fascinating! Inside the living space, there were a total of 10 significant energy situations that were cleared and resolved by variations of Feng Shui remedies, as well as special prayers and cleansing practices. There were also 5 significant underground water and fault conditions in the land that needed attention and resolve. I applied all of their recommendations with lots of curiosity and wonder.

Soon after this experience, I began a marvelous new adventure into the most delightful relationship of my life! I began a new consulting project serving the most exciting new business client of my career in Brazil in September 2000. On my second trip there in November of 2000, I met a Brazilian woman who was a friend of my client! She is the perfect match for my own life journey. We married in São Paulo in November 2001, and this is where I now reside. Prior to the beginning of this new adventure & this series of events, I had not traveled farther south than Grand Bahamas, nor even imagined living in another country!

I have been on an intense spiritual journey into consciousness, and have become accustomed to receiving much new insight prior to the Feng Shui consulting. During a period of 3 years immediately prior, I had been taking kinesiology & emotional health counsel from Dr. Eap. In her Feng Shui workshop I attended, Leang in her wisdom makes it very clear that it is the whole life practice that is important when looking for help using Feng Shui.

Within the context of this time of change, I also resolved a significant set of old beliefs & practices that had kept my financial affairs very complicated for a long time. I now live a relatively simple life compared to my old aggressive consumerism of the past. I am certain that the clearing of old energies and becoming aware of new options was really important in helping me to realize these new ways to be superior to my previous patterns of a kind of “poverty consciousness.” I am beginning to see & enjoy the financial fruits of this new orientation, and am truly grateful.

The Feng Shui remedies and art that I collected as a result of learning from Leang & Linh’s counsel also helped me to produce a most tranquil and beautiful environment within my home, which was the most profound “nest” of my physical living to that time. I am certain that the help from these two sisters was a significant contribution to my well-being and transition into the most delightful new life in Brazil. I highly recommend them in this regard.

John B. Duncan, São Paulo, Brasil

Our family was referred to Dr Eap by a successful Chiropractic Physician who highly recommended her ability to properly feng shui our home. Dr Eap has an extensive knowledge of the art of feng shui and has studied from some of the best teachers world-wide. We are still amazed at the difference it has made in our lives! We saw immediate significant improvements in our child’s behavior and overall comfort in our home. We also continue to notice on-going benefits. We have had an increase in abundance of our cash flow, our home-based business, bonuses, friendships, relationships, career, health, etc… We are very thankful for all of the benefits we have received. We appreciate Dr Eap very much and highly recommend her to others.
