Feng Shui for the Office and the Home | Home Improvement Power

The ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway) is the art of space planning and object arrangement designed to bring well-being, harmony, and balance to your environment? Its purpose is not only to enhance prosperity, but also creativity, health, and romance. Feng Shui fortifies a home with positive energy known as chi. The attainment of positive chi is both an art and a blessing to those who manifest that chi. The word ?feng? means wind and ?shui? means water, each one associated with a good harvest and ultimate good health or good fortune.

Reducing sublte stresses and irritations is the beginning of the many benefits of Feng Shui , making life easier and more comfortable . Good Feng Shui creates a good energy flow , and this makes for a better life and for greater happiness.

?Five Fung Shui Tips

1. Arrange your office such that your desk is diagonal to or faces the door. If this is impossible then consider arraching a mirror to the wall so you can see what?s behind you. Not having my back to the door has helped me work easier.
2. Pay attention to out of the way areas while cleaning, such as the basement or under the bed. ? As far as attics go, this is energy ?hanging over you.? ? Do you really need all the stuff that makes up that clutter? ? If Spring Cleaning is the only time you see this stuff than maybe it?s time to get rid of it. ? Cleaning up clutter helped me relax (ie. I could find things easier!)
3. In the kitchen, you leave your back exposed if you face the wall while cooking? , a position that is considered weak in feng shui. Hang a mirror on the wall over the stove so that you can see what?s going on behind you while you cook. Putting a large mirror behind the stove made it so I wouldn?t be surprised when someone came up behind me.
4. Fresh flowers bring beautiful uplifting energy to the kitchen. Place a bowl of fruit, a vase of flowers, or a living plant on your kitchen table, windowsill, or wherever the layout of your kitchen allows. (In feng shui, dried flowers have no life energy in them, so they are not recommended. If real plants are impossible, you can use very lifelike fake ones, but the effect will not be nearly as strong.)
5. If your love life needs a quick boost, you can use the art of placement (Feng Shui for Romance) to produce the romantic results you desire. Dust and cobwebs on the fans, walls, light fixtures and ceilings should be cleaned away. Enhance your space with romance colors, such as shades of pinks, reds and whites. Guys, this does not mean it has to be feminine. You can use maroon, grayish tones of pinks and whites to achieve the same results. You don?t want one color to overpower the others,so consulting with a Feng Shui expert is a good idea.

While this is by no means the ultimate guide to Feng Shui, it is a good start. These five tips will help to give your life the boost it deserves and the fulfillment it requires. Let the Art of Placement into your life and it will change your life.
