Description: Werner Brandmaier, the owner and chief consultant of the Institute of Feng Shui and Geopathology, enjoyed a long career as an engineer in Austria before quitting more than a decade ago in order to study feng shui. Since then, Brandmaier has apprenticed with several international feng shui masters from China, Europe, and the United States. The institute integrates feng shui (the Eastern tradition that relates the placement of objects to a person’s personal energy) and the Western tradition of geopathology (which considers the influence of the earth and underground water currents on human beings) and offers feng shui and geopathology consultations for private and commercial clients. To become especially keyed in to your environment, you can also buy any number of hard-to-find feng shui and geopathology items (like dowsing rods and power discs) at the institute’s online store.
