Feng Shui and Urban Planning. Episode 2 – Giving Meaning
Feng Shui is the art of adapting the space around you in order to improve your daily life. By taking action on your close environment, the expert helps solve issues and problems related to your living conditions. One of the techniques used in this respect is the thoughtful handling of shapes.
The architects of the past knew how to use shapes to influence the occupants of what they built. This entrance hall, for example, calls to mind a dancing, ascending twirl. The curves show us the way to the upper floor. This architectural technique gives us a sense of lightness and balance.
In contrast, a building which displays only one shape immediately points to a lack of balance. Movement conveys a sense of life, whereas excess is synonymous with restraint and blockage. Life gets bogged down, so to speak, as if a glut of earth and mud impeded its flow.
Nature, which Man belongs to, displays a wide variety of shapes and colours seemingly orchestrated by a profound and unrelenting intelligence. Success can be achieved by understanding and following this intelligence. In order to take advantage of a given space and build meaningful constructions, one has to draw inspiration from and act in accordance with nature.
The achievement of a perfect balance will ensure a good quality of life. Nature shows us what perfection is, and we have to draw our inspiration from it. All we need to do is interpret properly what simply lies before our eyes.

Feng Shui and Urban Planning. Episode 1 – Any connection?
“Urban planning refers to all of the sciences, techniques and art forms used to organize and lay out urban spaces in ways that ensure the welfare and social interaction of its inhabitants while preserving the environment.” (Source: wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanisme)
Therefore, the planning and development of an urban area require that many parameters be taken into account, such as the shapes of buildings, colours, sizes, green spaces, bodies of water and flows of movement.
Feng Shui refers to the art and technique used to plan and lay out a given site at a calculated time and in such a way as to improve the daily life of its occupants. This time-honoured discipline shows how space and time (junctures, seasons) are linked to our lifestyles and behaviours.
It wisely puts to use the permanent energetic interaction between the sky, the earth and human beings, in order to ensure an optimal quality of life. Its techniques revolve around a thorough interpretation of nature and a close compliance with its rules and principles.
Urban planning and Feng Shui, as we can see, both focus on the connection between people and their environment. Their purpose is to (more…)

The documentary film THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE TREES Practical Feng Shui in five points
Directed by Julia Dordel and Guido Tölke, the intelligence of the trees delves into the science and energetics which underlie the kingdom of plants. Our recent discoveries of the chief mechanisms of plant life have enabled us to unearth the hidden realities of our natural environment.
This documentary film gives us a unique opportunity to understand the basic rules of Feng Shui and the quintessence of a harmonious, healthy and prosperous life.
1: “Green” means life
Abundance stems from a rich soil. Trees are able to retain the water which feeds and fertilizes the soil. Without the capacity that trees have to hold back water and cool the atmosphere, no successful development would be possible.
2: Nothing functions in an entirely independent way. All natural elements interact with one another. Space is not empty.
The ability that trees have for communication, as well as the sounds and reactions which plants are capable of, testify to the organization and perpetual interaction of nature.
In Feng Shui language, (more…)
TRADITIONAL FENG SHUI AT THE SERVICE OF YOUR ENTERPRISE
To achieve maximum efficiency and performance,
take to heart your working environment
As stipulated by a series of regulations, it is the responsibility of managers to ensure health and safety in the workplace.
According to a CSA/Actineo survey, the working environment has a major impact on the health, well-being and productivity of the employees*.
Will you soon be moving into new spaces? Seize this opportunity to create the conditions which will stimulate productivity, concentration and harmony within your enterprise.
A discerning organization of the available space will boost and sustain growth and performance.
A workplace can be both attractive and functional;
Harmonize your business activities with the premises
Any given space possesses natural qualities which can be highly favourable to the various activities of your enterprise. Some spaces are particularly suited to work and production, while others are more appropriate to rest, storage, management or decision-making.
A space which is wisely used will support and inspire your employees. Conversely, attractive as they may be, premises which do not naturally harmonize with the professional activity might dishearten and even tire their occupants.
Infuse the space with the best influences
A wise organization of your premises should also be taken into account. Everything which permeates a space, inside and outside, interacts with and impacts on your team-mates.
Through a number of assessments and calculations, a diagnosis leading to organizational recommendations will be made for every single area. Advice will be provided on the choice of colours, forms, orientations and dimensions.
Thanks to these Feng Shui techniques, your enterprise will be organized so as to benefit all of your employees. Teamwork will be fulfilled in a more focused, concerted and efficient way.
Working together in harmony
Some methods can identify the “best matches” among your employees, and help put together the best working teams.
Uptemiz will provide you with the information you need to better communicate with your collaborators, understand their concerns and, as a result, guide them in the right direction. Properly matched team-mates will ensure the best teamwork!
A practical and down-to-earth discipline, traditional Feng Shui diagnoses the qualities of a given space, then correct and stimulate it in order to benefit the individuals who live and work in it.
