The Art of Feng Shui involves the placement of enhancement objects in relationship to our surroundings - in particular our home and business. In Asia, a Feng Shui Master will even be consulted by the Architect n the planning of the relationships of rooms, doorways and windows to themselves and the forces of nature. It is truly believed that the proper, or improper, positioning and association of all these elements will have a dramatic impact on your life. Here we offer the enhancement symbols with their meanings for your own Feng Shui collection.
Despite being an au courant fad, Feng Shui -- pronounced "fung shway" -- is nothing new to the Chinese. In fact, Feng Shui is a millennia-old practice.
The Chinese have long believed that if a home or business had a harmonious and positive flow of chi', which refers to cosmic breath or energy, those living and working there would benefit, thus enjoying health, happiness and prosperity. Palaces, farmhouses, temples and even entire cities were laid according to Feng Shui's precepts.
Feng Shui is a way of living in harmony with nature. Feng Shui is different for each person, just as each person is different from all other people. In a perfect world every person would live in the correct country for him, in the perfect house for her, with the entirety right furniture for all. We do not have that perfect world. The basis of Feng Shui is to find a place where the energy could flow freely with a positive force.
Feng Shui also has a very common sense outlook about getting rid of clutter. If you are not using it, get rid of it. Give it away or put it in the trash. Keep all rooms free of unneeded items. Clean out closets, attics, garages and basements. Let the universal life force flow in and out of the house. What we often cannot do is move walls or doors to help the energy to be positive. There are things that can be done for that door that is on the wrong wall or the window that has a bad view. Some of the things that can help in many cases are a living plant, a mirror, wind chimes or a crystal.
Crystal is a very powerful energy activator. The energy of the crystal can be amplified by a person's thoughts and feelings. Placing a crystal in the corner of a room will encourage the universal life force to flow through the room freely. If the energy does not flow freely in a room it can affect health, thoughts and abundance of wealth. This is also true in a business or home office.
