Dr. Lim about Feng Shui & Energy

Dr. Jes T.Y. Lim explains in the following text how he found his way to Feng Shui and Energy:

Like me, the sons of Chinese families traditionally used to be sent to Feng Shui-masters and to also be taught in Wu Shu at a very early age. We did all go to the normal schools, but in fact we could learn much more from the taoistic wise men and from life on the street – true wisdom of life!

Many days we had to fulfill the art of Feng Shui & Measurement by carrying our masters' heavy bags, endure tough verbal abuse, practise the discipline of patience and humbleness, until they finally shared one ore two sentences of their wisdom with us. In old China, this taoistic knowledge was strongly respected and everybody had to prove much maturity and effort in order to deserve to learn about it.

Metaphysical world view

That way, we were, from childhood on, taught about the energetic relations of concentration, breath, focus, tension, relaxation as well as form, colour, element, and taste. We grew up with a world view that was assembled rather metaphysically than statically. When I came to the western world the first time, I was deeply astonished how poeple here just ignore the laws of energy and e.g. build constructions that, seen from a Feng Shui point of view, can only cause problems. What a challenge it is for me, to find a new interpretation of the old knowledge for the western world, and to structure it into an applicable effective method. After all, we cannot just tear down all existing buildings and put new walls into our livingrooms etc.! Thanks to my masters who taught me the laws of energy in great depth – principles, that are applicable to every shape and construction, once they are understood.

I am deeply convinced that a healthy environment is as essential for the well-being of man as a healthy body. Otherwise a 'vampire-effect' is created – an energetically weak environment will automatically draw energy from the human body. Over the last decades, I was able to learn and experiment a lot, doing hundreds of Feng Shui consultations on challenging buildings. In addition, the Qi-Mag Feng Shui was largely enriched by the many experiences and the exchange with my students, which developed it to what we are today. 

In my teachings of the Qi-Mag Feng Shui, I try to build on the classical Feng Shui teachings, but to also extend and adapt it in terms of a basic energetic understanding, where new situations, like electric smog and glas constructions, arise. The taoistic teachings advise to always stay flexible, as an old bamboo can break easily.

May my work contribute to more and more people to be able to live in a healthy and beneficial environment.
