C3D: Feng Shui in the Home

By Emily J. Weitz

When Candace Vorhaus walked in to my new home, she found boxes stacked high and furniture at temporary angles. That was the perfect way to begin a Feng Shui consultation: with a clean slate. As we walked from room to room, she explained the Feng Shui principles, and how they could be applied to each room and to the overall layout of the home to maximize health, wealth, and happiness.

Vorhaus was an interior designer in the city for many years, trained at Parsons School of Design and educated in Paris. But after she had children, she decided to take some time to devote herself to that. And in the great networking space of the nursery school parking lot, she met someone who would propel her in a different direction.

Her husband was sick with prostate cancer, recalls Vorhaus. Still, he went to Hong Kong on business, and there he saw that every building uses Feng Shui. The expats who come in and dont use Feng Shui principles, their businesses end up deteriorating.

The man decided to give it a try, and he faxed the floor plans of his fabulous New York City apartment to a Feng Shui master.

He told him his health was going right out of the apartment, says Vorhaus. They called in a Feng Shui master, made the changes, and six months later he was cancer free. Its not that its a miracle cure. He was doing what the doctors said and going through treatment, but Feng Shui helps support you in your health.

Vorhaus was intrigued, and she wanted to learn how to incorporate Feng Shui principles into her design business as she got back to work. She studied with Feng Shui master RD Chin and watched how he transformed both her husbands midtown Manhattan office and her Sag Harbor home, and how their lives transformed in the process.

Its important to our lives that homes be set up in alignment with the energies of the earth and the universe to support our health and highest potentials, says Vorhaus. The missing link to peoples homes is the C3D: Color, Clutter, Chi, and Design. When you have those four elements working for you, youre supported to move forward in a positive way.
