Getting a good Feng Shui master/advisor

In the last 20 years, Feng Shui has become very popular in the UK, USA, Europe and Australia.

As a result of this popularity, many people have set themselves up as feng shui consultants or advisors. Most of them have declared themselves masters of this science after reading just a few feng shui books, attending a few feng shui sessions, and this has led to a lack of standardization and quality control.

In recent times the problem faced by feng shui practitioners is how to set a recognized quality standard. Unlike doctors and solicitors who have to train and pass examinations in order to become qualified in their field, some feng shui advisors call themselves masters without having studied with a master.

The genuine feng shui advisor does not want to reveal their true secrets whilst the so called feng shui advisor does not want others to know whether they are actual masters or not. It is therefore very difficult to get discussion going between them as they each have their own interest to protect, and as a result the unity and development of feng shui is hindered.

The most common way to differentiate the good from the bad is by word of mouth. It is also prudent to find out with whom the feng shui master has studied, how long they have studied with their teacher and how many years of on-the-ground experience they have.

On average a feng shui advisor needs to spend between 6 to 10 years learning and practicing with his teacher before he can become an independent practitioner.
