Why the name SHÙMÙ?

A great person once told me: “The wood after being worked becomes useful”.

 The word pronounced Shùmù in chinese is for “tree”, or if separated Shù mù , “plant a tree”. If we go back in time, more definitions appear, all related with this life element that is the tree that becomes wood, that becomes fire, a piece of furniture, a door, a window, a tool, a boat and even a home.

When beginning to study more about Feng Shui and its 5 elements of transformation (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood), I discovered that my date of birth has a 3 digits code that tells so much about myself: each of them means a specific element and my first number, also called as the essence number, is 4, which is a tree element. Suddenly, I began realizing that this made all sense to me, having a better knowledge of myself, with no judgements just characteristics, as well as with others around, helping me assume the way I like to live my life and who I like to be.

So the name became a symbol of what I truly believe in for achieve a more beautiful life in this Earth, planting ideas for better homes and businesses through Feng Shui and Sustainability.

“Your most important work in this lifetime may not be your job but a conviction within your soul, recognisable if you allow it to shine”.

Nowadays, human beings spend most of their lives indoors, particularly inside buildings, with little or no contact with nature, which, as it its known, causes countless imbalances such as emotional, physical and psychological damages.

So the increasing importance of looking differently at our spaces, not only as shelters, but as healers and nests, where we should be nourished and not drained, brings Feng Shui and a more sustainable living as tools to achieve our well being.
