The ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui is making a comeback in the modern
world. But is it really possible to change your attitude just by rearranging
your living space?
Many people say yes. Feng Shui is an Asian philosophy that dates back
some 5,000 years. Practitioners strive to find the proper arrangement
of objects and furniture that will best suit your personality and lifestyle.
The goal is to arrange a home in such a way as to maximize feelings
of safety and comfort, which will, in turn, positively affect your health,
attitude, even your level of success.
Traditional Feng Shui revolves around placement and symbolism.
More contemporary Feng Shui also considers a number of psychological
factors, including the use of color, aromatherapy, and air quality.
A Feng Shui consultant locates the various energy centers of your home,
suggests new arrangements, and may use crystals, mirrors, and chimes
to achieve certain effects.
Like anything that’s been around for thousands of years, the practice
of Feng Shui has a number of variations. While the ancient art is complex,
many of the concepts appeal to common sense.
Before you call in a consultant, there are a few tricks you can try
on your own.
