Course Overview

As an industrialized society, we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors and over 50% of our waking hours in our homes. As both science and spirituality have long known, our mood, mental state, and level of happiness are all greatly impacted by the sensory input around us. This sensory impact also affects how we feel about ourselves—and over time, it can actually rewire our brains to make us happier, healthier, and more whole beings. Therefore, since our homes are a container for the input we engage and interact with more than 50% of our waking hours, our homes are an untapped tool for healing and transformation.

How do we tap into the power of our home?

In this masterclass, Dr. Rabin introduces some of the more practical and intuitive principles of Feng Shui to harness the power of intentional design for use with patients/clients to improve therapeutic outcomes, as well as for the practitioner's own benefit.

She outlines specific ways to apply the ancient Chinese art of intentional object placement, which has been used for thousands of years to create inspiring and harmonious environments; specifically:

1. The 3 F's of Spatial Harmony (Flow, Form, and Function).

2. Yin and Yang and the balance of the two principles within a space.

3. The five elements, their expression as personality types, and how to both enhance and balance those expressions with Feng Shui design recommendations.
