Ok,
What On Earth Is Feng Shui?
What
Is Feng Shui?
Feng
Shui is a several thousand year old practice that combines
both the science and art of clean living. The
ancient Chinese believed that everything has energies, both
good and bad, and Feng Shui was the practice of achieving a
balance of those energies. If Feng Shui has been around for
such a long time, why is it enjoying renaissance in popularity
today?
One
theory of its new “hot” reputation is what you see every
day in the news. The war overseas, the war
on drugs and violence
in our own neighborhood and even stress from jobs, health and
every day life in general. People are seeking solutions to
make their lives easier. And because their home and décor
is something they do have the power to easily change, more
and more people are trying Feng Shui.
Feng Shui is not just about rearranging your home for equilibrium
of harmonious energy; it is also a way of life. It’s neither
mysticism nor some fad religion. Feng Shui is about
wellbeing, balance and harmony. It is actually well researched science
that is used to literally shape your world so that you enjoy
good health, prosperity and wealth in all areas of life. In
other words, Feng Shui gives you powerful tools to accomplish
those changes.
Because Feng Shui is a combination of art and science, you
will find its principles carried through all areas of these
subjects from architecture to astronomy to decorating and design.
In fact, the same principles that define science itself also
could be applied to the ancient practice of Feng Shui as well.
For example, in science, you are taught to observe, identify
and describe a particular problem as well as experiment to
come up with a hypothesis. In Feng Shui, you are supposed to
observe and identify potential problems which could disrupt
the balance of your chi (energy) using tools of the trade such
as a Ba-Gua (an eight directional map) and a Feng Shui compass.
From there, you could make changes with wall color, furniture
placement and more to redirect the energies in your home for
a more pleasing chi.
At the heart of it all, Feng Shui is the art and science of
helping people. Many people who have employed Feng Shui in
their home, albeit grudgingly, have turned around and become
proponents of this ancient practice. The reason is that Feng
Shui literally changed their lives. By observing and experiencing
the very essence of your home’s energy and making changes in
color, textures, furniture placement and more, you too can
make a difference in all areas of your life.
Because Feng Shui can make such dramatic positive changes
in people’s lives, architecture and interior design firms are
being bombarded with those who want to employ these ancient
principles. After all, Feng Shui is a proven tool for rejuvenating
environments. In fact, it is not just homes that are enjoying
this harmonious flow of energy. These principles can be used
for home offices, corporate environments, schools, hospitals,
clinics and doctor’s offices.
People who have had the living and work spaces designed and
decorated using Feng Shui methods have reported happier relationships,
raises at work, a decrease in allergies and other health problems
and just overall, general wellbeing both physically and emotionally.
Feng Shui provides a calm port in the sea of chaos that we
all call our lives. In other words, it provides sanctuary and
renews the spirit. With all of the war and strife that is going
on in the world, Feng Shui grounds you and basically re-charges
those internal batteries that get run down.
