CHINESE METAPHYSICS
Chinese Metaphysics historically involved three mains areas: Astrology, Feng Shui and Chinese Medicine. A Chinese Medicine Doctor in traditional times, would have been educated and practised in all three areas, in order to restore health and promote longevity holistically. In the last century, the field of Chinese Medicine was split, and has been practised separately to this day. We are a company that incorporates all of the roots of Chinese medicine – that is healing and guiding with the sum of all the parts – our constitutional energy and life path (Astrology), our environment (Feng Shui), and our choices (human decisions, influences and medicine).
