FENG SHUI

Feng Shui is the Chinese art of arranging objects within an environment to achieve energy, harmony and balance.

Feng Shui is not a religion and you do not need to embrace oriental design elements to incorporate the concepts into your life.

The translation of Feng Shui is as follows:

Feng (pronounced Fong or Fung) is “the way of the wind”

Shui (pronounced Schway) is water “the natural force of the universe”

Feng Shui has been practiced for thousands of years and is derived from the Chinese concept of ying and yang or balance of all energies. Everything has energy and that energy is moving around us constantly. Fast moving energy creates unsettled feelings as well as chaos and stress, slow moving energy causes a heavy depressed feeling, one of being bogged down as well as lethargy. The optimum result and what we are striving for is balanced energy creating a feeling of peace, serenity and calmness. Use of color, placement of furniture and objects as well as remedies for problem areas are the tools for creating the desired results.

I have personally used feng shui in all areas of my home, office and life. It is especially helpful to use feng shui principals when preparing your home for sale. I have included my book Feng Shui To Sell within my staging book Step By Step to Sold for everyone who wants the benefit of using both staging and feng shui.

Every house holds the imprint of the people who have lived in it, especially if it has been imprinted with bad energy. Divorce, death, stresses and circumstances of life, even from prior homeowners, these can leave remnants of their energy on your home. Feng Shui clearing and principals can eliminate some of the effects upon the quality of your environment. These can be easily and quickly accomplished.

Another area that I have had great success with is applying feng shui principals with special needs children and adults. Autism, ADD, ADHD or many other conditions of those facing learning challenges have a heightened awareness of their environment. Some of the changes that can be made, dramatically affect their ability to concentrate in addition to helping alleviate some behavioral issues. My ebook, Feng Shui for Special Needs is given free to anyone looking to explore the changes you can easily incorporate to enrich the lives of not only the individual with special needs but that of the entire family.

For a few of you these concepts may seem odd, you may not feel comfortable in the belief that all the things within your environment affect you. If you are skeptical you can check out the field of Neuro-architecture. Scientists are now affirming what was determined thousands of years ago and it is now a field of study in a number of colleges. Neuro-architecture is the study of color, space, placement and furnishings upon us. Which are the concepts of feng shui!
